In todays world it’s very rewarding to meet or view learning videos from someone that has both honestly and integrity……. Thank you

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I’m purchasing one of these units for the first time and have zero experience with operating or maintaining one. Your narration and explanations are excellent!

I just bought one of these, new, for my lawn. 72”. I will really benefit from the advice given here!

EXCELLENT VIDEO, don’t think I’ve ever viewed any more informative Thank you!

This is a great video. Very informative, I have a 930M and you have taught me some things I need to know. Thanks Sir!

Wow, this video was a great help as I’m looking to buy a used Z 900 series. Now I know what to look for when evaluating a used machine. Thank you!!!

Really appreciate your honesty and great knowledge!

Outstanding. Lot of tips I learned from this. I just bought an older 997. I’ll be referring to this a few more times

Great job on your video!!! Best video I have seen about the John Deere Zero Turns period. I had a Z510A for my first zero turn and purchased a Z915E with 60 inch deck last year. Thank you very much for all the info you put into this video, it is very much appreciated!!! This will certainly help a lot of folks. Just subbed to your channel. Keep up the good work.

Excellent video! Just bought used unit. Very helpful!

Hey man, I don’t think I have ever commented on a YouTube video before. I just want to say THANK YOU. I had scheduled my Z730M with 50 hours to be taken to the shop because the steering wasn’t working well. This video was randomly on my feed and I’m glad I decided to watch it. You suggested checking the tension rods and I found that the engine drive belt had come a little lose because the tension rod moved from one side to the other. I put it back where it needed to go and problem solved! I cancelled my appointment with the dealer. I appreciate you!

Job well done in how to explain everything in detail. Will save me money and time and in the future what to do regarding my z950m thanks and God bless

Very good video. I am glad you made it. Thank you for sharing it!

I’ve recently become interested in ZT mowers as one of the most profitable OPE to flip. I agree with every other commenter that this is an excellent video, and would add that I suspect much of what you covered probably applies to all zero turns. As for JD equipment in general, I just finished working on my very first, a 2006 130 Automatic lawn tractor and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at both the design and build quality. A very well thought out and constructed piece of equipment.

Thanks for the information the best ztrac vid on YouTube. I have a 930M with 1875hrs my deck belt is vibrating. I think it’s my extension spring and bad idler pulley.

One thing I've found is the idler pulleys and spindle bearings can be replaced. The idler pulleys, drill out the pop rivets replace the bearing and use bolts and nuts to hold together. That way, if the bearing goes bad much cheaper to replace the bearings. Same with the spindle, the bearings are fairly easy to change, much cheaper than an entire spindle.

Thank you so much for these videos!! These are tough times & videos like this save me money 👍🏻

Because these are air cooled engines, you forgot an important part. The service manuals say to remove engine shroud once a year a check engine and cooling fins for dirt, oil, grass, and debris, and clean as necessary. Some of the engines that come in are packed with debris under the engine shroud. Occasionally, they overheat as a result, and push the valve guides, bend push rods, blow head gaskets, etc. Very important to check!

Thanks for your information very helpful information 👍
