I advise to change the coolant ASAP. Finding out now that Toyota coolant over 5 years old eats the head gaskets.

I used Valvoline vr1 20w50 high zinc this time. I could access all the plugs fine, it was just very stubborn on purging

Next time I am going to use 15w-50. I had an extremely hard time purging them this time.

Thanks for the kind words. FYI, I have a hydro gear ZT 2800 I changed the oil in and have purged it several times. It only has 50 hrs. on the unit. I can't get the whine out of it. Should I keep purging it or try something else. FYI Didn't know hydraulic oil would work. thanks

Any 20w-50 motor oil is fine. but hydraulic oil is NOT

And FYI I am not just a "joe homeowner" been doing my own repairs on auto and lawn equipment for years

Are you going to pay for the repair if an unauthorized fluid is used?

Use the manufacture recommendations which is a 20w-50 fluid

I would watch the Hydro Gear videos on how to bleed them after service. They can be a little difficult to purge the air. Change the fluid and filters. They last a long time.

I stopped buying battery's at Costco when the 3rd one in a row leaked. Sometimes its better to pay a little more

The EPA mandated this. They are desperate to stop climate change.

I would do more research on the catch can. I heard Nissans took that into consideration and a catch can might make it worse.

Had to drive 50000 miles in one year one time. Family emergency.

I have a 2015 with the v6. 235000 miles. only fluid changes and brakes. 80% hwy miles. I did have to replace the front bearings at 215000 but it was driven on rough roads. I borescope the engine recently and the engine horning had no wear! It's been incredible. Just rides like a tank lol

Maybe somehow you could loosen the spindle and shim it with washers to level it?

Thats going to be tough to straighten the center portion of the deck

Move the center blade and see if the problem moves. Do you have flex forks on it?

I had the same problem but I used the "deck on blocks" method and it worked. However one of my hangers was bent and I had to bend it back so for Hustlers the "deck on blocks" method does work

IF the original lasted 12 years that's a good deal. I go back with that

I have a 2024 Ridgeline. I changed the break in oil at 1000 miles. Just change oil every 5000 and reset the MM when its due. I got the Honda care at College Hills Honda for HALF what my local dealer wanted.
