Great video. Thanks. I have a bagger on my new one so I’ll have to see how it pops off or just get into the yoga positions. Just serviced my old LA120 this morning at 643 hours. It still keeps running. Thanks again.
Thanks for the video I have the 2022 48” z530m and just went through this. Additionally attempted to grease the deck. I was unable to the the grease coupling on the center spindle. Any suggestions on fittings or couplings to make this doable?
@@eshott2935 I use a 90 degree adapter that snaps onto the straight grease gun coupler, They are available at most farm supply stores or Napa Auto Parts stores.
@@247parts Well, my family parks on the side of the road and when it snows heavy we kept getting plowed in by the city. I figured getting a lawn tractor and a snow blade since the zero turns do not currently have any snow blade attachment.
I had this issue after sharpening the blades, and it turns out they were just barely out of balance. Grinding off some metal on the back of the blades to get them perfectly balanced eliminated that awful grinding noise.
That engine takes 2 quarts AND 1 CUP of oil. It states it in Z540M owners manual. Also there is a black foamy piece that goes over the air filter. Both 2016 and 2018 Z530M of mine had. I always take the black foamy piece off after each mowing as it collects a lot of debris and rinse with clean water then hang to dry before reinstalling.
@@gailjohnson6670 LOL! Always believe what the manual says, NOT that salesman! Salesmen are not always knowledgeable or telling the truth, only to make the sale.
Nicely done! I appreciate the logical steps - nothing missing and the reason why is explained!
Do you have a video on blade replacement? I am thinking of changing to Oregon G6 blades
That dip stick isn't slowing down the oil drainage. The oil filter does though. Nice video.
At how many hours do you recommend spark plug replacement?
It is recommended for every 100 hours.
Great tutorial. Is the gap checker in the maintenance kit?
No, it i snot but they are very easy to find. Most dealerships will have them or your local auto parts stores.
The new fuel filter you installed from the kit has a lot less filter media than the one you replaced.
I need to break both of these filters open and do a comparison of the filter media. Thanks for watching!
@@247parts Are you still doing a video on this?
I notice that too

Does the z530m have a stripe kit
I believe there are striping kits available but I will have to look into it.

Are you saying you just couldn't reach it?
@@247parts yes, I could not get straight on it to make a good connection and get grease in it.

What’s the part number of the maitnence kit for z530m
It is an LG265.
Cheaper to buy parts separately than kit
Let’s get a video on the 2022 z530r before the season is over
If I can get my hands on one then I definitely will. Thanks for watching!
Please tell me which cat I need for the z530 m there are so many!
CAT? Meow?
If i do my own home maintenance on my mower, does it void the warranty?
No, not at all.
I miss my Z530R. I regret trading it in for a X590… lol
Why did you trade it? Just curious.

Z530m sounds rough like a grinding noise after changing the blades, can anybody help me out with the problem
Is everything good and tight?

The book for my Z530R (I have a 2021 and 2022 model) shows 2 quarts and 6 ounces of oil.
@@p71collector I had to correct the sales man that sold me my Z540M that it took more than 2 quarts of oil.

@@p71collector He did a double take!..I had read up before talking to him and buying.
