Paul, you always have really good video showing us step by step on how to do things. 😊😊😊😊

I now understand my Kubota Z222 a lot better. Thanks you.

Nice to see every day problems fixed!! Thanks for the reminders.... And the good old cartoons 😎👍

Thank You, Thank You. I really appreciate the SHOP video. Good luck.

Whall, I say, I say, son; I am the Rooster. Foghorn Leghorn

Hi Paul, for what it's worth on my zero turn I leave the plastic guards off. I know the safety police are screaming at me but I'm the only one that uses my zero turn. The reason why I do that is so after cutting the grass I use my air compressor to blow all the grass away from the spindles and keep the top of the deck pretty clean. Nothing gets caught under the guards as there are no guards. Take care, Stanley in Md.

The rooster was Foghorn Leghorn "I say, Boy, you're about to exceed the limits of my medication."

Great shop video. You make it look easy! Thank you for the video. Well done.

Love the videos y’all! Really missed these types of videos

Paul, I am a Kubota guy. But when it comes to mowers I love my Ferris Pro-Cut S electric tilt deck 3 wheel 61" deck. Fog Horn Leg Horn😀

Paul, I have the ZD326. I know it is larger, so more room to work, but with the deck down and spindle guards removed I am able to get the spring off and remove the idler pulley by removing the nut holding the support arm at the back of the deck. My idler pulley was OK but the support arm that mounts to the deck was allowing the pulley to run too low to the deck causing contact at times. We bushed it up and reinstalled. I am glad I didn't have to remove the deck as it is a 1,800 pound beast. Also, I saw your strap for holding up the chute wrapped around your deck height adjuster. I am sure you could always fabricate something, however, I decided to remove a deck bolt on the corner and installed a threaded eye bolt for the hook of the bungie. I had to order it as the thread pitch is metric but it works great and looks like a factory option. BTW, the idler pulley and support arm on the ZD326 both have grease zerks. You might check if they can be used on your ZG so they are serviceable. May have clearance differences due to the size of the deck, however. Great video as always!

Sir Paul, I'm ready to adopt the phrase "arsed up" as the new technical troubleshooting term! Great video as always.

Great video

a company i worked for had the diesel version of that i used a spud wrench with a pipe on the sharp end for leverage to loosen the belt only i wasn't having to repair the tensioner i had to pull the gearbox apart and replace the bevel gears they arent cheap either its actually cheaper to replace the whole gear box by the time you add up the labor to tear down and put back together all because some one didn't read the manual prior to use every one assumed it was belt driven from the motor like most lawn tractors and never checked the gearbox to make sure it had gear oil not even the service department who did service on all the company equipment

Kathy and Paul i believe the rooster you mentioned is Foghorn Leghorn

I like my Kubota powered D725 Grass hopper more after watching the process to take that deck off about. PTO shaft on my Kubota G1900s is a Pain

As it so happened I removed my deck today and did a grease and sharpening job. Had to use the fel to raise my deck. I have a serious case of shop envy.

That seems just like JD mower decks with a zerk for the spindle but between two sealed bearings. For many years, the easier fix was to remove the inner seals (one on each) and grease could then flow to the bearings. Never an issue since the 80s. It looks like yours are trapped in riveted pulley assembly. More trouble than it's worth to modify that I suppose.

GREAT VIDEO! MAYBE A BIKE WILL NEED SERVICING SOON?

Check with your dealer there were some recalls on those parts. I would change that spring too.

Hope your dealer won't say , = no no go for the parts ,it's not a BX Dealer will say Paul is downgraded from big tractors , something wrong !!! here Lol lol lol !!!! Ha ha ha !! I like you Serge ( from Mtl ) 👍👍🆒

With all those machines, I was expecting you to build an improved tensioner pulley. 78 hours is not a very long lifespan.

No point spending two more days on it when I have so much other things to do. If it fails again then I’ll look at a redesign.

Simply take the belt off the end pulleys.

I believe that kubota has a separate manual for the deck since there are different ones for the same powe unit

They usually dont put grease fittings on those pulleys. Makes no sense to me, they have grease fittings on the other pulleys and rotating assemblies. Guess they have to make you buy something.

How are you liking all the space in the garage since you built the “mod shop”?

It’s not used much. 10 years old with 78 hours but where it mows I can do it in 1/2 compaired to the 1.5 hours it took me before this mower so the investment was worth it.

In the aftermarket there is that kind of idler pulley. Could it be fitted there? Maybe cheaper than the OEM parts ass.

Leghorn, I think.

Not being able to feel it isn't fair, but the noise when you turned the gearbox is similar to bearing failure noise if you only had mandrills if the bearing was bad. Could be the microphones could be lots of things and mostly could be my stupid ears

Take good care of that deck gearbox. Check the oil level often. Kub recommends changing the seal on the bottom like every 2 yrs. If you don't do all that, get ready to spend about $1500.00, part only, last I checked.

Your going to have to show me where Bota says to replace that seal every two years. I’ve never read that or even heard that before about any seal anywhere. I’ve got gear box’s on their snow blowers tha get much more use than this ten year mower with 78 hours on it and never an issue. Also they can be rebuilt without having to purchase a complete unit. Looking at everything I have here in OEM WSM there’s nothing that states about changing that seal out every two years.
