Geeze…I used to grease my shaft splines and inside the collar…was that wrong? All this talk about “light machine oil??😊

Great! Hope it works out for you! I’m not sure I would have been as patient as you!

Oh ok I understand now

Yes I have seen those and thought about jury-rigging something myself. Then I decided on the ones that put the weight more out front.

So you paid for it and didn’t get it?

the weights kit is not “included” but suggested as an option.

I do not have the part numbers but I do know that the weight kits come with the grass catcher assembly (WHICH I DON’T HAVE). I recall the parts guy having difficulty finding the parts/numbers but in I’m the end they ordered what was needed.

Sounds about right! Don’t forget tire rotation! My late dad bought a snowblower many years ago…it was a yellow one and I forget the make. That thing sat outside (under cover) for a good 30 years and I don’t think ANY maintenance was ever done on it. I always started right up on 2 pulls, did its...

No answer for you but good luck from Z422 owner…🤔

Glad you got it to work!

“More” what? 🤣

That’s the opposite of what happens to me (or used to when I had the mower deck) damn thing would not stay in the “open” position making it hard to connect the shaft when installing the deck. I think yours just needs a few taps with a hammer…or it’s gone bad.

Which one have you found? There’s one underneath near a silver canister (fuel pump) and there’s one on the “injector” side about halfway up the engine. (unless they’ve changed?)

Well, a greased bearing will last longer than an ungreased one in my opinion.

Many people do not balance their mower blades…like I said, never balanced for many years and nothing happened. I was, however careful to try and take the same amount of metal off of my blades…thats what ya call kentucky balancin’ 🤣🤣 NOW, I’m almost obsessed with balancing with the new zero...

I went years without balancing my BX25D 60” deck blades. Just sharpened them and put them back on…they were GREASEABLE with a zerk on each one. NO grease zerks on the new Z422-54, therefore, the need for balancing.

Yes, the “All American” system. I had used whatever I had in my tool drawer for flap wheels and I think they were a finer grit. I have a couple new ones for this season that are a heavier grit to try. Love the system! I have it permanently mounted on one of those old “movable” folding work...

That’s my balancer! Since I bought my Z422-54, I went maniac and bought the balancer and an American Sharpener system for the blades. Makes it a breeze to get the blades razor sharp (although I run the grinder lightly over the finished blade edge to “dull” it slightly. I’m in the “not razor...

Post pics of your bearing job!

Here for answers! I have the Z422 but no problems so far. It’s a ‘023 model and 54” deck. You reminded me to open the shed and get her serviced for the upcoming season! 😊
