Thank you , about to do my first hydro and oil service on my 2100z, very helpful !
Awesome! Glad I could help 😉👍
Great job bro! I had to do the exact same for my toro
Thanks 🤜💥🤛
You’re so smart doing your own maintenance, you remind me of my son. He also does the maintenance on my car.
Yep! I try to do it myself if I can 😉👍
There you have it . Look out 2023 here you come lol . Thinking about in a couple weeks start bringing home my mowers
I bet you can't wait 😃☝️
Plastic is industry standard nowadays. Cars have plastic radiators and some have plastic oil pans, and plastic intake manifolds..
Yep !you're right 😏☝️
I’ll take 3 of those new tools, Just to support your awesomeness engineering skills Jay 🤜🤛 WARRIOR CLASS 💪😎✌️
Cool 👍we are running a special this week 😄
Man are exactly the same. I have the same thoughts as everyone else in the comments. I have no clue why they made them out of plastic. I also have no clue why they didn't just put disposable filters instead of these internal filters. You can argue something like these are better protected but I really think it is about saving money for Hydro Gear by discouraging people from doing it on their own. If you look on Hydro Gears smaller transaxles they all have disposable filters and so much easier to deal with.
Yeah, who knows what these engineers are thinking 🤔🤷
They should have made them caps out of metal of some kind. That plastic gets brittle from the heat of the oil. Glad you got the old one off. Have a good week J! See ya!
Yeah, not sure what they were thinking when they engineered them 🤷 thanks man! You have a good one too😉👍
Make sure you use a 6 point socket instead of a 12 point...still may strip, but better shot at NOT with the 6
I agree completely 😃☝️that's why I mentioned using a 6 point socket in the video 1:31
@@JsCrazyCutzLLC I just rewatched and noticed that...I'm guessing the "ugga dugga" was the problem as you mentioned. Thanks for these videos...very helpful.
That was a very informative video, & very well done. I watched because my grandson is 15 & thinking bout getting that mower & I wannabe able to help him service it. Thanks for sharing. Ted.
Glad I could help
Thank you for sharing 😊
My pleasure 😊
The things we have to come up with in this business! Plastic😖Great hack brother💯💪🏾
Thanks my man 😉👍
When I changed mine I got concerned because it did not move right away ,soon realized it had air in the lines .,but after about 30 seconds it worked the air out . never had anymore problems with it .
That's good 😉👍
I just got the axel on the poulan xt greased today did this to the craftsman gt and the John deere lt mowers need to get the Hydro oil in the gt hydro transmission
Sounds like you're ready 😉👍
@@JsCrazyCutzLLC I'm getting there
👍🏼#29 Great video about the Ryobi impact. Or maybe that's just the way I saw it. BTW You look younger now than you did in videos a year ago. How's that possible?
LOL😂 Thanks...🤔 it's probably just good lighting and the right camera angles 😃☝️
Gravely runs the same thing, yeah they are a pain in the but. I have that same jack, my motorcycle sits on it all winter and then the mowers all summer.
Yeah, I don't know what they were thinking when they designed those caps 🤔? I like that jack! It's light and works well 👍
Those massive ZT-4400’s make my little ZT-2800’s look so tiny. Same process to change the oil except I have regular style oil filters. That sucks about the plastic filter caps. Every time you change the oil looks like a good idea just to change the caps as well. Wonder if the ZT-5400 metal caps would fit the 4400 model?
Yeah, that's the first thing I thought about when we ordered new replacement caps but, unfortunately, Hydro Gear said they don't match up 🤷The treads are way different . Now that I know they are plastic.I shouldn't have anymore problems🤞thanks for commenting 👍
Zt4400 take 5qt per side?
@timd5597 the ZT5400 takes 5qts per the ZT4400 takes less somewhere between 4 and 4 1/2. We documented in the video the step by step procedure. After all the steps are followed the oil line in the reservoirs should be at the cold fill line.
Can you use synthetic? They need a metal cap for those. I guess I need to to remember when doing mine soon
Hydro Gear recommends 20w50 regular conventional motor oil . Yeah, not a fan of the plastic caps 👎
would you know if the aluminum caps from the ZT-5400 fit the ZT-4400, to replace those plastic ones?
Unfortunately, they aren't enterchangeable . That would make too much sense 😏☝️
I think they have a torque spec on plastic cap if I remember correctly
Good to know 👍
I think I would try either Fluid Film or even anti-seize on the new caps. Gotta be better than going through all that. Some of these companies are being penny wise and dollar foolish.
Yeah, I don't think that I would have had a problem had I known the caps where plastic the first time. I would have taken more precautions 🤷
How do guys keep their mowers so clean and unused looking!
They just look good on camera Lol
One of my hydro gears will not disengage for the purge process. Is there another way? I dried driving it a little and it doesn’t seem any different than the one I did purge. Will it purge eventually on its own? It seems to run fine.
The air should work itself out on its own over time...🤔 not sure why that one side won't disengage? 🤷
Do you pressure wash the deck?
Yes ! It's a good way to get all that hard stubborn crud off 😃☝️
Tool 2.0 will have a longer shaft with a 12"-16" T-handle welded on the end.😉
Right on 😉👍
The 3200s on my Ferris have fill ports on the top, you don't fill them via the expansion tanks.
🤔 I don't understand .Are you saying your Ferris 3200 is designed differently ? All 5 Ferris mowers that I have are filled through the expansion tanks according to the manuals for my Ferris models 🤷
@@JsCrazyCutzLLC no my zt3200 hydros. I have a 2014 is700
@@thastinger345 oh I see ☝️. I have 3400's , 4400's and 5400's on my Ferris mowers
@@JsCrazyCutzLLC Sooo, I made a mistake. I've only changed mine twice (once at 5 hours and again at 100hrs), so I couldn't remember, but yes, you do fill them from the expansion tank but remove the air bleed plug from the top of the hydro, then once oil starts coming out of the air bleed port, reinstall the plug and top off the expansion tank to something like 1/4 inch of oil in the bottom of the tank.
i gotta do my 2100z 1000 hour hydro fluid. boy it doesn't look fun and im tempted to just drop it off at my dealer
It does take a couple of hours 🤷
you want oil with high zinc not auto oil
Actually if you read the manual. They recommend regular conventional 20/50 motor oil. I've been using regular conventional motor oil in all five of our Ferris hydro's for many years. No problems yet🤞....🤔we had wheel motor go out on our old stander but that's a common problem with the 3400 series pumps🤷
They use them on Toyota cars as well. Dumb ass design
Indeed
