Hello, yes new here. My almost 20 year old Cub Cadet was having issues, but still useable. A friend I help sold me this ZT 60 HD for $500 after they went with a new Toro. Near as I gather it’s a 2013 model, I think 710 hours or so, meter flashes at times.
So far I changed the oil, replaced some missing bolts on belt covers, replaced one worn spindle & sharpened the blades. It’s my new favorite mower. They had a few issues in recent years with it, like fuel pump & something else, been fine with me.
I plan to use it now as my primary mower to check reliability, 5 acre property, mow 1/2 or less, lawn then outer areas. It’s built like a tank, nickname is ‘the beast’.

Greetings from Tennessee
I have a 2023 Gravely ZTX-48 Serial Number# 918009 and it’s been a workhorse.
I recently moved her from Arizona and never owned a lawnmower before because you don’t mow rocks
I have all kinds a terrain on my 1/3 acre property and this mower does just fine
OH And I love the Kawasaki Twin FR651V engine.
Keep them serviced and they will last a life time.
One question I have is on the trans axles
They say they are non-serviceable but I do see a drain plug
Is it possible to service it anyway?
