Thank you so much for the simple directions. I was about to have it taken someplace for quite a bit of money but not now thanks to your video. I appreciate this.
I have the Cub Cadet Ultima ZT1 54”. It takes 2 quarts of SAE 10W-30 oil. Oil filter use 12 050 01 Full-Flow Filter. Use 5/8” spark plug socket. Spark plug torque (20 ft. lbs.). Drain plug torque (10 ft. lbs.) for all except 62 789 01-S torque 16 ft. lbs). Fuel filter use 24 050 13. Helpful hint: You can find all your part numbers under your seat. You can buy a complete Engine maintenance kit - Kohler 7000 series 20-26 HP (#36 789 02-S) that has 2 quarts of oil, oil filter, fuel filter, air filter, and 2 spark plugs. Good luck!
Thank you! I was hoping this info was included in the video but it wasn’t. I appreciate you!
Finally. The info I was ACTUALLY looking for. Thanks
Just bought the maintenance kit today!
❤
Earned my subscription! I like videos that are straight to the point no nonsense thank you !
The oil plug is tuff, I used a cup of microwaved hot water and let it sit in the water for about 5 minutes to help losen the factory seal on oil plug.
I tried changing the oil tonight and am glad I found this thread. I too was unable to remove the plug (this is the first time changing oil). I've decided to pick up a pipe plug socket set tomorrow and attempt removal with my impact wrench. Wish me luck ; )
I took a lighter and warmed it up... Came off with ease.
Good luck to any normal human! To undo the oil drain plug, it was nearly impossible. I almost broke both hands and blacked out.
Finally got it loosened.
Good luck!
Fo sho.
Submerging the drain plug in boiling water for a couple minutes helped for me.
It is a bit of a bear for that first oil change. I moved the drain hose out of the hole in the frame, used an adjustable wrench around the outside, and used a 12mm on the bolt itself. A little bit of muscle got it loose enough to get started. Good luck!
I actually had to remove the starter and drain it from the base
Going through it now!!! Came to the comments for tips. Thought it was just me.
Great video, thanks
I got that same drain plug on my mower it makes life easier saved for making a mess
Thanks for the video!
That drain plug is a pain in the arse! Thank you for the video.
Good video. I have a 50 with the Kawasaki motor but this gives me a head start. We've had a mild wet winter and I was mowing almost to Christmas. Time to winterize. Should I change the oil now or wait until I dust things off in the spring?
I’d wait closer to season starting personally
Yeah that drain plug is no joke. I had to use some vice grips and beat the wrench with the frame of the mower. Still couldn't get it to turn until I let it run for about 5 min to heat it up and it finally loosened.
Thks for the help sir!
Danny is a really good guy
Like others I had an *incredibly* difficult time taking off the drain plug. I ran my mower for a few minutes, submerged the plug in boiling hot water for about 5 minutes, prayed to at least 3 gods of lawncare, and vowed to sacrifice my first born child (I can't have kids so jokes on them). It finally came loose after many obscenities and one real good hissy fit. Hope this helps 😅
Thank you! I’m going to try that. I haven’t been able to get mine off either. My wrench almost snapped. And after watching video after video seeing people take it off like it was nothing it made my blood boil lol.
Thanks I’m going to try that. Why would they use lock tight on drain plug? What poor lack of brains engineer came up with that asinine idea?
Where did you get the new filter?
Can I use synthetic motor oil for this
What type of oil filter?
Can you change the hydrostatic fluid on these exact mowers? Or is a sealed system. No I didn’t watch the video and yes I just bought one yesterday without remembering to ask lol.
Best way to know if your model is serviceable is check the hydro pumps for a removeable reservoir cap
I just hit the 5 hour break in for oil change. i got the correct part # for oil filter KH-12-050-01-S but it is about an inch shorter than the original did you notice this with your replacement filter? i got the kohler filter again.
Yes me as well.
Did u use Kohler oil
Yeah, I think I did, i always get a little warranty shy about not using approved stuff while it is under warranty.
Does anyone have any tips on how to get the oil drain plug out on the first oil change? I’ve trying to get this thing off for 2 days?
Try hitting it with your purse
It look pretty easy
Just some suggestions for next time: include info on what size tools you are using, type of oil, which filter etc.
Just curious, when you installed the new filter, did you put fresh oil in it first, or did you install it dry? Does it make a difference?
I never install an oil filter on anything I own without priming the filter first.
@@Ozzie4Para I was asking considering the filter is mounted sideways, if you pre-prime the filter, when you install it, it will spill all over the place... I've seen suggestions to install the filter, then add one full quart, run the engine for a minute, then top off...
When you pour oil into the fill, the filter will partially fill on its own. With filters this small there is no real benefit to filling the filter ahead of time. It's not going to hurt anything to do it, but the benefit is tiny if there is any at all.
Lots of motorcycles use these same filters, and I've never pre-filled a one of em ever, even when I was racing. Many hundreds of thousands of miles later, no problems.
@@airtimepaintball463 thanks :) I forgot all about this post... I ended up just putting the filter on then filling the oil about a quart and a half running it for a couple minutes then topping it off work great
Fill the filter to base of threads.
wait 2 minutes for filter to absorb that oil.
Install new filter.
The directions are on the side of the kholer oil filter i purchased from tractor supply (kholer 7000 engine maintenance kit)
How’d you get that oil drain plug out it’s like they just glued the bastard in there
I just tried for 30 minutes to get mine off before I gave up and drank a beer. I’ll try again tomorrow. He edited that process I see...
I got mine finally take a pipe wrench to hold the bigger fitting then I took an 11 mm a 7/16 would work too I bout broke my hand but I got it lol
Ya no joke...I bought a new 54 version of this last month, just went to change the oil...holy mother of pearl...16 ft/lbs my ass. I was able to get it out using 2 pretty big adjustable wrenches. I put it back together with considerably less force.
What oil did you use what size oil filter. That would be useful information.
Ryan Wilhelm oil on this Koehler 7000 series recommends 10w-30. Filter will vary depending on brand
Lanier Lawn Care thank you so much! 😁🙏🏻
Cub cadet recommends sae 30 summer 5-20 winter!!
What type of oil did you use? I know 10w-30 but what brand?
Jeremy Zamora it all came in a Koehler oil kit.
I also refresh the hydraulic oil annually. It turns black from the wear and tear of hydraulic operation. Take the Allen plug off, using a hand symphonic pump suck out as much old oil as possible, keep track of how much you remove then add the same amount back I. Do this on both sides. Your getting the majority of the hydraulic oil out. My mower hydraulics seems quieter and more responsive. plan on doing this twice a season.
Instruction state put oil in new filter then install. What your thoughts
Not necessary. Running it a minute after the change and then topping off if necessary is all that is needed.
how offten you change the oil? is there a mater to check?
Change after the first 5 hours...then change every 50 hours of use.
why the hell did they tighten the drain plug so bad...
How hard was it to take the nut off? I have a brand new mower and it’s giving me trouble.
Brandon Joiner TV not gonna lie, it was pretty hard the first time.
Lanier Lawn Care people think I’m crazy and weak when I tell them I couldn’t loosen that but. I tried all day and then I finally gave up. Tried again the next day with a vise grip and a large adjustable wrench. Thankfully that worked.
I have the same mower what kind of oil should I use
10w-30
The oil plug on mine is so tight I can’t get it off it’s my first oil change
Same. I hammered on the bitch forever trying to get it off.
Me too. I’ve been trying for 2 days
@@jerryransom7526 try some wd 40
Same here and used penetrating lube even
So how did y’all get it off?
What do you suggest for a hour meter? How can you get one out on?
*put
I’d probably get one off Amazon like I did for a push mower I had. It basically just wraps around the plug wire and mount it where you like. when it has current then the hour meter is counting.
Do you have a link to that one by chance?

@@LanierLawnCare Do you know how to install or do you have a video that shows how to?
Every how many hours before change of oil? When oil get dark??
Yearly or every 50hrs
what oil number?
Part # for the oil filter... type and weight of oil...? Just sayin.
10w30
Oil filter. Amazon or google search filter number 49065-0721 for Kawasaki engines
Description
How much oil? Book says 1 qt,you put 2?
One question... Why did you remove the seat?
Seat wasn’t removed. Just flipped forward for better view
😂😂😂
What was the type and viscosity of oil?
10w-30
Oil you used
Randy would have had this oil changed so fast and clean .. Randy is a mans man he would have used just his hands no wrench at all .. Great video could have been awesome tho if Randy had done this video maybe you could hold the camera for randy sometime ... #bringrandyback
Use maxi pad instead of a shop towel. It absorbs way more and faster
I just change mine today, the owners manual says 2.5q of oil…just an FYI
Thank you
**there is a small hole under filter for oil to drain
I wish my drain plug came off that easily. I tried heating it with a blow torch and it still won't come loose. Had to walk away before I hulk smashed the shit out of the mower.
O'Reilly oil was used haha
Thanks from a girl. Lol
Every year my plug is pain in the ass to get off
2 qts
I don't understand who makes a video and doesn't give tips on how to take something that's impossible. He totally fast forward to the easy part. What did you do to get off. Everything else is common sense.
2 wrenches
You wouldn't want to tell us what type of filter or oil you use, right? And how about getting your arm out of the way of the shot (or moving the camera)? Not as helpful as it could have been.
I take back my "type" criticism. Cub Cadet didn't mention those details in theirs. Yeah, you could have shot it better, but they have a much bigger budget, I'm sure. Thanks for your efforts.
1205001 is oil filter and oil is Kohler 10w-30
I know this is an old thread but I will comment anyhow. In response to some of the negative comments on this thread; your local lawn equipment store will look up your mower make and model and tell you what "oil/filter" kit you need. Just give them your mower information...take a picture with your phone. It's that simple. Now for the less simple things. I hope I can remove the plug since it will be the first time changing the oil & filter, etc.. One person mentioned using WD40 maybe that will help. I was going to pay a man to come do this maintenance, but after two weeks of him rescheduling I said, heck on that... Gosh, people need to be a person of their word. If they say they are going to be their on a certain date for a certain time, then they need to do so. I understand stuff happens but really several times later means my money is not worth anything, just like his word!. Sorry about the rant on that, my frustration is showing. However, I am grateful for this video because I don't know what I am doing but someone has to do it so at least I have a guide now. THANK YOU.
USE PIPE WRENCHES!!!
What type of oil and weight? Video sucked
Luis Perez 10-30 Kohler oil. If Kawasaki engine I’d recommend 10-40
Your manuel that comes with your mower tells you exactly what you need. Comment sucked.
Everyone of you Zt1 mower people provide such lack luster information, didn't show us the oil type you use or nothing, ridiculous.
Read the description. I tell you type of oil and filter number
@LanierLawnCare Still doesn't help, no one's reading that trash when there's a video format infront of them. What em I, 80? No I'm here for Video information , that's what TH-cam is for, Visualizations, not texts like this nonsense I'm responding to.
@@Shano84MacBruh. Read your manual. Be responsible.
@@Shano84Mac need us to hold your hand?
Do a better job of showing where everything is instead of just saying this is the thing
Clean the sealing surface before you put on the new filter. What is the matter with you? That is a millennial mistake!
EarthSurferUSA that’s a new one to me. Been changing oil 20+ years. Only ever wiped that down if some of the old gasket is their.
EarthSurferUSA, ,,,, Have to love the TH-cam arm chair mechanics, grammar/ spelling police, and honorary OHSHA inspectors. I'm surprised he didn't say something about you did not warn people about proposition 32. You lawn mower was already clean and there was nothing to wipe down..
Why? It's been sealed with the previous filter gasket 100% of the time since it was installed. What would you be cleaning off there exactly? Maybe some oil that you actually want on there?
re: Lanier's comment...I passed his 20 years 20 years ago, and I've never seen a dirty one.
I gave you a Trumbs down simply because you said ( so no one ca know what oil we use) ... lost me there
I can’t even loosen my drain plug because of how much thread lock they put on it. 🥲
Update: used WD40 to loosen the plug. Worked great.
