What are the steps on changing hydraulic fluid on a 2011 John Deere Z425 Zero turn Mower?? Thank you

I found the problem. Seems there are 2 ground cables, One from the battery to the motor and one from the deck pto clutch. The nut on the pto clutch ground cable loosened and came off, I put a new nut on and it fixed the problem.

Bought new in 2011. Kept all maintenance up. Recently while mowing it died. Started it again and when engaging mower blades it dies. Not a safety switch problem. After a day of not finding the problem I locked out all the safety wires and it still dies when blades are engaged, other than that it...

When running oil does not shoot out, just leaks at the gasket. With oil full I can mow 5 acres and oil will be...

Bought new in 2010 Zero turn, Z425-54c Has always cut great, until now. All the sudden blades are slow to engage, cutting grass above 3 inches blades rpm slows down while motor rpm stays the same. I have cut 24-inch Johnson grass in the past with no problems. In 13 years, this has never...

And that is a 42 inch for 6,400.00 Sheesh.

Give 5 years to work all the kinks out. I will stick with gas.

Since the day ethanol came out, I have never used it, never will. 100% gas, Nuff said.

Clean the battery terminals. Most times, simplest answer is the right answer.

I quit ebay when they started wanting more of financial info.
