Well Gravely in this model. the blade hub does not have the two holes drilled out that allow a spanner wrench. And a torch needs to be used to melt the red loctite. Only propane on hand and did not work. Lonnie Johnson has an old video on how to disassemble this particular spindle and did a...

My ZT HD 48 bought new in 2017, now has 225 hours. Currently have three new spindles coming in this week. Anyone operating equipment knows we get a 'feel' for what we consider normal. The deck began vibrating and buzzing worse than before. Removed belts, used impact gun and spun the spindles up...

I submitted my email. Got notification few days later. Ordered that very moment. Came in quickly, installed it and tested it. Cut 6-7 inch Bermuda, KR bluestem, woody pasture stuff, thistle, never slowed down.....

for future reference for anyone getting gator knock off blades, here's the set up. These blades have four notches, the G5 Gators have three. Resigned myself to accept about a 60-70% Bermuda yard. Surrounded by three pastures. KR Blue stem, Bermuda, Dallisgrass seed the hood during hay season...

I'm in the Shiner area and this year El Nino/a whatever lol is really soaking us good. My neighbor just came in to set up a time for first hay cut. YEAH...!!!! Took several year also to get the Bermuda to take over the home area for a yard. Ha... Just finished my fist in-depth service (222 hrs)...

Thanks! Looking at them now. Also found these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/297656858624?chn=ps&google_free_listing_action=view_item Never used this style. But trial and error at this point. May get both sets. Cutting the Bermuda at 1.75 has helped make them spread and grow over the weeds and with...

Thanks appreciate the help. We all have different skills. I've tried low loft blades. May contact Oregon see what they have. Cheers.

Ever find a solution? Look at the pullies underneath and see if all of them are are aligned. If one of the belt drives is a tad higher or lower the belt will walk off.

Safety cough cough feature wow ...engineer must have been a former political speech writer to come up with that fluff..... Just did full tune up on BIL's Honda rear wheel drive, an old unit with a rust hole on the deck. Yet it never locked up when doing the post maintenance test cuts. I'm truly...

Update: Told me there was nothing wrong. Explained circumstances when wheels lock up. Told me it was a safety feature when dealer called back half hour later. Dealer translation: I ain't getting nuff money from Ariens to make it worth my while, so here it is. So I'm stuck with buyer's remorse...

new mower 2.0 hours. (ser# 019217) Issue: rear wheel lock ups. So this unit replaces a 17 y.o. husqvarna. Has two purposes. One, make one pass around house and small obstacles for ZT to take over. The other is to cut drainage ditch r.o.w. that city ordinance says is owners responsibility...

Get your PDF manual from Ariens website. Also tire pressure will affect blade height compared to the built in adjustments. So I've read. I'm not a landscaper so perfect cuts are not my priority. Seat time will tell you what works best once you've gotten Ariens manual for their recommended...

Sooooo after installing the ariens gel padded seat cover, I carry an led flashlight. Swing seat out of the way, place lamp on top of tanks and rock tires a little and the motion of fuel gives indication of level. I do this after about an acre cut or hour and half of mowing and coming in for a...

Just for reference, there are two springs; from the operator station the left belt for the hydros is not bad. Now the one on the right. Ah yeah all four appendages engaged against mower deck, sweat pouring out burning your eyes while trying to remove/install that one! The hooks are not part of...

Bought a 2020 Gravely ZTHD 48" as I understand many of the changes are cosmetic. I do like the accessibility of the belts. Mine has thrown the drive belt twice. Once cutting 14-16" pasture grass in the front half of house and the other was engaging PTO with RPM to low. Used rope to make a spring...
