    Made stupid mistake! What would my solution be to do now?

    Your signature below is elementary school knowledge, so you have no room to talk. :sleep::sleep::sleep: Have you ever pulled the metal engine shroud and cleaned the top of the block and cooling fins?

    Made stupid mistake! What would my solution be to do now?

    Read my other post Slomo, the mower is fixed. (y) Satman, I replaced the Hydro filter, refilled it with the Mobile 1 15w50 full synthetic motor oil I had left from my 5 quart container, and purge the system by way of the bypass valves. I cut my 2 acres of land here at home, and everything...

    Not surprised for what? That cleaning the top of the block and cooling fins periodically worked for me to make make Gravely mower last this long.

    Made stupid mistake! What would my solution be to do now?

    So I misread you about the ignore statement you made. I stand up to my mistakes as this thread title is proof of that. I am sorry for one thing. It is that I am not prefect as you are and never make mistakes. WOW!!! you been here a year longer than I have. Want a dinky button. If Bert or you...

    Made stupid mistake! What would my solution be to do now?

    Rivets, I am glad you put me on your ignore list, as from this reply you have an equally unkind attitude toward people and deserve no respect. It is people like you that give forums made to help people bad names. Any mouthing I did was truly deserved for disrespecting me first. I am the one...

    I replaced the Hydro filter, refilled it with the Mobile 1 15w50 full synthetic motor oil I had left from my 5 quart container, and purge the system by way of the bypass valves. I cut my 2 acres of land here at home, and everything turned out great. Thanks for all the helpful replies to my...

    Made stupid mistake! What would my solution be to do now?

    The problem with your replies is your know-it-all self righteous attitude and the way you explain yourself. You have some serious issues, dude! I am glad I am now on your ignore list. lol

    Made stupid mistake! What would my solution be to do now?

    Star Tech, I was hoping I would pull you out and have you chime in, by suckering in some of these knucklehead know-it-all trolls that like degrading a person when they think that know more than people. I have been a member of this forum for almost 10 years, so I know much more than they think I...

    Made stupid mistake! What would my solution be to do now?

    First of the Pope is not holy at all. He as all Pope's that claim to be a Vica of Christ only serves him to be as the Bible says an anti-christ. Don't get into a Bible debate with me that you can never win. By the way, check this chart out below as Sae30HD is even thicker than all these on the...

    Made stupid mistake! What would my solution be to do now?

    bertsmobile1, You know nothing about oil. For you to say that 20W/50W is thicker than the thickest motor oil made in SAE30HD only serves to show you do not know what you talking about. Your last line shows everyone how much of a sick pervert you must be.

    I would have thought that I could get some experience Moderators or Lawnmower mechanics to reply back to my post in this forum, and give suggestions to me. I guess I was wrong.

    Made stupid mistake! What would my solution be to do now?

    Hi everyone, Feel free to call me stupid because I know better. But when I took out my Gravely Promaster 44Z for the season I did a Engine oil and filter change. I mistakenly started put the SAEHD30 motor oil in to the Hydraulic intake and not the oil intake before I realized what a stupid...

    2007 Promaster 44Z hydraulic oil purging procedure after hydraulic hose replacement.

    hlw49, Thank you for your informational reply. I just found it odd that even though I had the wheels off the unit, in spite of what the video indicated with the bypass valves opened, and it said that they would not turn, the wheel motors the wheels attached to were still spinning with those...

    2007 Promaster 44Z hydraulic oil purging procedure after hydraulic hose replacement.

    Hi guys, I will be replacing a leaking hydraulic hose line that had a pinhole leak from my existing hydraulic hose, and nowhere in the Gravley manual does it give me the purging procedure for bleeding the air out of my two hydraulic pumps.

    Hydraulic purging for a 15 year old Gravely Promaster 44Z

    These instructions in the manual are completely inaccurate, and full of mistakes. 1,) The engine has just been running for 10 minutes, and it tells you to stop the engine and unscrew the dipstick and check the dipstick for the Hydraulic oil level. (Doing this just after the engine hot will...

    Gravely Promaster 44Z Hydraulic Fluid Leak Issue

    StarTech, Thank you so must for your comment. Think the UV dye would have been a good suggestion, but after putting it more 15W50 oil, I could very clearly see exactly which hose had the leak, because it was such a big leak. I took the hose off yesterday and brought it to a machine shop, where...

    Gravely Promaster 44Z Hydraulic Fluid Leak Issue

    I noticed this small Yellow rubber piece (That may be some type of seal) that was detached from what appears to be a Hydraulic line. Do you think that this is why and where the Hydraulic Fluid may be the place it went gushing out? Look at the photo below:

    Hydro oil dipstick question

    I know this may seem like a elementary school question, but I have never seen a dipstick have a screw in cap of 10 threads in length, so with that I ask you should I take the reading without screwing the cap in at all? When taking a reading for my 2 thread screw in cap for my motor oil, I have...
