Figured I'd better include the word 'mower' in the heading, otherwise I'd be in for all kinds of comments. Guys, my next-door widowed neighbor lady's Gravely motor froze up. She's asking me for some help in finding another ZT. I've always thought that I'd like to try a rear-discharge ZT. Well...

As the title says, looking at making the jump. Been running a 'conventional' battery for several years now, on a battery maintainer 100% of the time, but when she dies I'm kinda thinking maybe giving one of these a whirl. 2017 Gravely HD ZT 60" 991156. Other than the higher cost, any reason not...

I too usually cut at 4". Having that belt low sure gives a nice stripe. Only thing is, when you go in reverse, you'll 'feel' it bend the other way......... Doesn't seem to weaken it....

I set my deck to it's highest level & installed the belt so that it was just slightly above the floor. I'm talking 1/2". That was 4 years ago. Still going strong & great stripes.

You're using the blades that came with the mulching kit? I have that kit that came for my 60" and it works great...

Thanks. That's kinda what I'm thinking too. Life's too short to squabble over a few $$$.

That's an excellent idea, 'cept that the wifes' in a nursing home. I'm talking with the son. Father & son were not 'tight'. Think when the time comes, I'll throw a figure of 5K out. I could live with myself for that. And yes, mower's always been garaged.

?????????

It's my neighbor's mower, I've been doing all the maintenance, and he died. I'm currently running a Gravely HD ZT 60 & I know mowers. Just don't want to screw the family.

My neighbor has a Ferris IS2100 that I'd like to buy, at a fair price to both of us. It is a 2016, 61" ICD (?) deck, believe a 31 hp engine, not EFI, with approx. 600 hours. I was figuring between $4-5K. What say you?

Thanks but I've seen it. I'm still hoping someone can tell me what's the difference between the two. But thanks for all the replies. Maybe the next step is to talk with a dealer...

The seat is 79107700 & the kit is 79108800, I believe. Thanks for your help......

I do have the part numbers. But what I'm not sure of is, if you buy a whole new seat assembly, are you getting the same seat as I already have, but with the seat 'kit' that attaches to the lower part of the seat? Or is there really a difference between the OEM seat and the 'new' suspension seat?

I'm trying to get the biggest bang for my buck here. I'm trying to improve my riding comfort with my HD ZT 60. Appears I've got 2 ways to go. Slip a new 'kit' under the seat for ~ $300 or go with a totally new suspension seat for ~ $500. Something just tells me that the new seat deal is nothing...

I've done the same thing, 'cept I bought the 7 or 8" size & cut it in half. Don't remember the size bolts I used but be sure to use some decent sized washers, on both sides.

and who did you buy them from.......

Going up against a grasshopper might be pretty tough. My neighbor traded in his belly-mount 'hopper for a beautiful Ferris 2100 several years ago....still regrets it

Have you looked underneath your deck to see if you've got a build-up?

What'd he say???? o_O;)

After 7 years, your belt is stretched. Time for a new one.

Coder. With all due respect sir, I think you need to have a nice long talk with your dealer. This should be your first step.....

Doesn't cost you $40 to CALL your dealer....

Just gotta love a good 'ole oil thread.........

I think you may find that your mulching kit & blades work best in the fall, especially if you have leaves. Otherwise, high-lift blades and discharge are a good choice.

Sometimes a shot of this...

I would be more concerned about why you severed a drive belt. Any idea how/why that happened?

So should the parking brake set each wheel? Or just the one?

When I engage the parking brake on the mower, it only locks down the right side. Many time I've gotten up, with the engine running, only to look back and find the mower slowly turning in a circle to the right. Have to be real careful finding 'neutral' with that left control bar. Is this normal...

Drive belt......on a ZT?

I assume you DID take the covers off the outside spindles to make sure the belt is around the spindles?

This https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=Oregon+%23+96-040 what you're looking for?

Hmmmmm. I always thought some thatch was healthy. So, in answer to my question, mulch/throw 2:1?

For years I've run mulching blades (gators) thinking I was mulching the lawn. Now it appears I was just running the blades w/o mulching the grass unless I convert the deck over to a mulching deck. I should point out this is on a Gravely HD ZT 60. So, I gets me a mulching kit and wow, what a...

Thank you sir!

Great, thanks. Now, how about the weight of oil?

I'm trying to find just the OEM hydro filters & 'O' rings for my neighbor's 2016 Ferris is2100 with the 28hp efi engine. I se where they sell a kit but thought I could save him a dime and piece it together.......Also, I run Mobile 1 15W50 in my gravely. Suggestions for this Ferris? Thanks!

Believe the manual calls for an oil change every 100 hrs.

Sorry, deleted my post :confused: So, in answer to his question......

Just guessing but I would think nothing below 11.3V

Last fall I added a OEM chute blocker to my Gravely Hd Zt 60, along with Oregon mulching blades. The idea was to go after the leaves in the yard. But with the blocker, seems like all I did was blow the leaves away from the mower before I could mulch 'em up. I suppose because the discharge chute...

for dummies like me......."blown globe"????????

I'd try taking off those mulching blades & go back to some high-lift Oregon straight blades. Mower a little slower, more often.

Make a new post, asking your question......

It's under warranty man. Why mess with it and possibly give them an excuse to void the warranty?

Stock blades?

Thanks, and my neighbor thanks you too.

So, my elderly neighbor, who's '16 IS2100 that I change oil, sharpen blades, etc. should have these bolts removed & zerks installed? Would be glad to do it for him. How many & where do I look?
