Great vid. I have a 2017 TB30. And they have since added a bracket on the deck to stop that mulch plug from riding up. These mowers are definitely not top of the line, but with meticulous maintenance and proper care, they should last a very long time.

Thank you! I have seen the new design but they will still push away occasionally instead of ride up like before

Anything can last forever with some basic maintenance and care. Take care of it and it will take care of you

Great video, thumbs up. Also you sound like Tom Hanks, has anyone ever told you that? Thanks again.

I agree with great camera work, including the arrows. 👍 The lighting was far better than your previous video, where I couldn’t see a thing underneath. Having one light from above and one from the side made a HUGE improvement. Well done!👏🙏

I agree, definitely some dark spots in the last one that I couldn't seem to brighten up. Getting proper lighting underneath mowers has been a struggle to say the least! Thanks for your feedback and for watching!

Nice job 👍

40 lbs might be a maximum pressure rating, my owners manual spec for cub cadet cc30h is like 20 front 14 rear

@IndRepair

Depends on the ply rating of the tire, if 2 ply they are 20 if 4 ply they are 40 normally. I'm sure Troy Bilt didn't want a lawsuit when someone put on a different tire and blew it up with 40 lbs. Good info, thanks for sharing!

What do you recommend checking if you accidently hit a tree stump? I will do all the steps in the video. Should I remove the blade (I didn't do it, it was on loan and they told me) Now it cuts wonky.

Definitely check blade to see if bent and check for spindle play/noise

Thank you for the video! it was very helpful. I changed my deck belt and the blade. My new issue is that it is slicing my lawn on one side. The right side if you are sitting on the mower. I noticed after i put the new belt on, the deck is harder to raise, almost like it is hitting something. I did leave the deck on during the belt change and the black cover went on just fine, so I am a little lost. Are you able to make some suggestions? Thank you!

See what is hitting when raising, tires and blade were checked?

There is another possibility which I've been trying to figure out as I type this. Cub Cadet CC30H which is the basically same mower that you are showing (at minimum they have identical decks and height adjustments). Mower cuts horribly, with an angled cut higher on the left side. Tires are aired up to the proper pressures, front of deck is 1/4" lower than rear and the blade is straight. using your method of checking the blade both sides of the blade are the same level one side yet both are 3/4" higher on the left side. Blade is properly seated in the star on the spindle. I hypothesize that either the deck is bent slightly or the spindle has a broken ear.

Only things that can be wrong with all you have checked

It shows how much the tires make a difference. Do you a video showing the deck wheels being adjusted?

I sure do not. This one, like many of the lower priced ones do not have them unfortunately

I have the Cub Cadet version of this lawn mower. I bought it used. The blade was shot so I bought a new one. The mower developed a significant vibration with the new blade. After your video I noticed that my deck was on an angle so I fixed that, still the vibration persists. I checked the blade balance (with a nail) it seems spot on. Not sure where to go from here, the spindle does not seem to have any slack or lateral movement. Any suggestions on what it might be?

I see the blade hitting the deck at the front often also if not a belt/idler/spindle issue

@pierrec.5516

I ran the mower without the guard, it does not look like the shaft over the blade is vibrating. I did notice that when I rotate the blade it sounds like the shaft is pretty dry. All I had on hand was bicycle chain oil, I added some to the shaft and it seems to have helped a great deal. I wonder if there is a recommended product/service schedule for maintenance?

Grease bearings for sure

Both drive belts were just replaced on my mower, same one your showing in this video, with OEM belts. Now the mower won't stop completely when brake is pressed. Will this fix itself after the belts stretch a little?

I do not see this issue often unless something is caught in the double pulley making them not free roll independently

How about the front bracket.. do you ever see issues with those.. the top lip on the front bracket (the one welded to the deck) is slightly rolled over to the right (looking from the front end). And also the bracket that's bolted to the bottom of the front side ( the one that the rod with the adjustment bolt attaches to ) look bent. The two brackets have a big gap when lowered all the way down

@IndRepair

The front bracket where the deck attaches can be bent or have a broken weld. If it is just slightly bent the front adjustment will make up for the bend in the bracket. If you do not have any more adjustment and it is still not leveled it would need fixed. The bottom lip does not really matter for deck leveling as it does not actually control cut height. For how weak the metal is we have a surprisingly low amount of issues with them unless a weld is broken or height adjustment is bent from hitting something. Thanks for watching and for you comment!

The bottom deck metal is almost always bent at the chute and/or the rest of the way around

@IndRepair First, thanks for the quick response! I just finished removing the deck. After a quick look I dont see broken welds on the back brackets.. and I really don't have nothing to gauge off of to know if they are bent.. are they supposed to be 90°..I really think the issue is in the front. I will report back after I take a closer look..Thanks again.

@IndRepair I heated up the front bracket (the one welded on the deck) and straightened it out the best I could. Also ordered the front lift assembly and am waiting for it to come in. The one on there twisted . I think it will fix the problem. I probably pressed the front of the deck on something like a tree trunk that caused the damage.

Was that 40 lbs. or 14?!! I replayed it and heard the same thing. All the tractor tires I’ve seen so far are 10-14 lbs.

@IndRepair

5 ай бұрын

Haha 40 lbs!! Definitely high but they are 4 ply tires normally. 28 lbs on the back is the usual pressure

Why fill the tires to maximum air pressure? No tires need to be filled to maximum air pressure on any type of vehicle! As long as both tires on the same axle has the same tire pressure they are even. 40 psi in a lawn tractor tire is way to much unless you want them to be worn down faster than they do with normal tire pressure around 10 to 20 psi!

@IndRepair

On these mowers without close to max pressure you get front end issues faster and they don't mow high enough to begin with

Mine says 30lbs on the tires. Maybe a different brand tires?
