Well... being the kind of magical guy I am I made the extra oil disappear. And.. I know who I am (have had 74 years to figure that out), so I have no trouble saying... I made a mistake. (wife says I never, ever, admit to mistakes but I do). I knew to check the oil without screwing the stick...

2022 eXmark Radius 52 deck with a Kawasaki FX 691V engine. Oil eXmark 10-30 and Kawasaki Oil Filter 49065-0721 Spring engine oil and filter change. That small drain plug on the end of the hose, was a real B****** to open. Either it picked up heat from the exhaust or this was the first time...

Bodean, there are mixed opinions about running internal combustion engines in the winter. The argument is that starting it after the oil has drained actually does more damage (incrementally) than letting it sit all winter and just starting it once in the spring when the season starts. I am not...

Regarding service, oil and filters change. I do it once a year, my preference is to do it in the Spring at the start of the new season. Wondering what others do. Change it in the fall when it gets put away for the winter? The mower is one year old with one season on the books, no more than 20...

Solved. It was right there in front of me. The handles are adjustable. No need to move the seat back. I loosened the two bolts that attach the handle to the control shaft and moved the handles forward a little. Solved the problem.

2022 Radius S with the upgraded adjustable seat. This is the one with the knob on the front to adjust spring tension. I'm too close to the driving handles. Is there a way to extend the backward travel of the seat, I am currently at the rear stop. If the seat can't be moved any further back, is...

Thanks Bert Good advice.

So I've heard. Thanks for the response. I made a note in the unlikely event it becomes an issue.

This is a message about visiting the "World of Coffee and Tea" (link) Probably not on point with the topic of the thread.

It took me over 15 years to hit 500 hours on my old broken JD LT160. I certainly hope to get more than that out of the new xMark Radius.

Agree nice ride, and you take very good care of it. Nice.

Nice rig there 4getgto. Did your wife tell you to sell your Pontiac GTO? If so, you're not alone. Mine said I could learn to fly over her dead body. I gave that dream up. Then years later after getting careless and going off the track twice she said I had to quit the racing. So I did.

Yup, I try too. Except for the old big box store JD I bought for a riding mower. I ignored it for 18 years and it finally failed. It was not a quality mower though. Nothing like the quality of the larger JD equipment.

Nope. No wealth here LOL. If only... ;-) I like to keep my equipment running too. Nothing more interesting and fun than working on the old 1973 Kubota in the garage. I never lived on a farm but I have learned that tractors just don't wear out. Built like a tank and parts available, you just...

Oh for the old days... Cindy and I out drinking, dancing, flirting, with all our friends. Boy those were fun days. Then it became too much drinking and there were the kids. I decided for me, I could not continue. Didn't want the kids to remember me as drunk (a lot of the time). So I gave it up...
