    Exmark Zero Turn transmission oil type

    No sir. The back cover to the left and higher up in the pic. If you zoom in on the pic it says zt3100 on the cover

    Exmark Zero Turn transmission oil type

    Have a peek. If it's got the spin-ons, you will see small semi-circular guards over them on the outsides, lower than the axles. You drain these drives by removing the filters.

    When fuzzy cardboard isn't enough..

    Exactly what I was thinking. The General has it's ways I guess. This setup does make for easy shock and spring replacement. For being basically an 8-seater, AWD minivan, it does ride and handle excellent and they don't have anything special in terms of towing ability. I think it's...

    Exmark Zero Turn transmission oil type

    Best I can tell, they're just your standard HydroGear ZT3100 drives. If they each have their own little spin-in filter down towards the bottom, they are indeed ZT2800 thru 3400 I believe. Any 15w40 through 20w50 will be fine.

    When fuzzy cardboard isn't enough..

    I may do that once I get through my 5gal pail of woolwax. I've had excellent results with WW on areas other than those that get constant road blast. If it can stay on a surface long enough to dry to a dark, dirty grease, it's there for good unless you manually remove it.

    When fuzzy cardboard isn't enough..

    Here's some rust belt pics to enjoy. I did a tire rotation on my 2021 Chevy Traverse @55K miles the other day and in the process, pulled the rear fender liners to get access to woolwax all the metal bits hidden behind the fuzzy carpet/cardboard like fender liners. These liners also have a...

    Reman Transmissions.

    On some of the UToob car repair channels I like to watch, you see it more and more now where you can't find computer/modules for 7yr/old vehicles. Modules the vehicle is a complete boat anchor without.

    Diminished Value with Automotive Insurance

    I had Safeco and Peerless some years ago. Good coverage and reasonable premiums. Some years went by, then I shopped around got a better rate with Allstate for a few years, then went with NY Central Mutual. I got bounced from NYCM because of 2 comprehensive claims (deer hits) and a glass...

    Cheapest prepaid voice phone plans?

    My 13yr/old uses a cheap flip phone from tracfone. It's a lot more $ than what you guys are paying though. It's ~$16/mo for unlimited talk, text and data. It has basic internet connectivity, which we limit. The rest of the family are on a 5 line plan of unlimited everything for $125/mo...

    Mazda CX5 turbo and NA questions?

    I see you're in FL, but rust could be an issue on as little as a 3-4yr/old Mazda if it lived any of it's life in the rust belt. I looked at several used, lease return 2021s in 2024 and saw lots of undercarriage rust and some small spots forming under the doors and rear hatch. Really loved...

    Diminished Value with Automotive Insurance

    Sorry if I missed it, but has this all been on the at fault party's dime, or have you had to push any of it onto your policy? Reason I ask is, the way the auto insurance industry is handling things today, especially if you're pushing for extras and have to subrogate, you will likely get...

    Frame Rust Control - How Did You Do It?

    That would be miraculous if the little bit we can see from the pics is the worst of it on a GM T360 chassis. I know you said the rear trailing arms are good, but what about the frame wheel arch and the front attachment points for the trailing arms? The rust I see in the pics could be...

    Used the wrong oil in Hydro Gear ZT3100 Transaxles!

    Have you run the machine with the 0w20 in the ZT3100's? Once you got them purged, are they quiet and putting out full power? They'll probably be OK on 0w20 for now if so, but I know I wouldn't be able to live with it. I'd throw a new pair of filters on and refill with a good 15w40 or 20w50

    Real puzzler on '16 Nissan Sentra

    I think you mostly answered your own question. If you see wiring/connector damage, you have a broken or damaged wire somewhere in that region. You may have to get things out of the way and open up looms/bundles to to have a look. Follow the wire colors of the fuse that is blowing.

    2025 Equinox rental review!

    Yep, for sure. GM started using the LSD 1.5 in 2023. The major change is they deleted the cam driven vacuum pump on the LSD and went with all electronic brakes (no vac assist needed). LSD supposedly has a better piston ring pack to go along with higher pressure GDI and a few more HP. I'm...

    12 pack AC Delco UPF63R Amazon

    I've had to do that at least two different times to keep my "order received" active. The only info I get is "they will email me when my order ships". I'm not holding my breath. Lol

    Couldn't say no to this deal: Hart 3600w generator $249

    That's a great deal and incredibly handy in that wheeled/handled configuration!
