Ok, thanks

This is the part assembly.

Need help installing a headlight assembly. How to install/reinstall the hood? Is it better to remove the front grill first? Is there a service manual available ?

I have 88 hrs on it now. I’m using the yellow filter and Kohler semi syn 10w30 oil. Do you use semi, regular, or synthetic oil. I wouldn’t go past 100 hrs at all. Also, is it normal for the zt740 to consume oil between changes? Thanks

I was thinking about switching from 10w30 SS Kohler to the 10w50 Syn. Also do you know if I could still use the oem yellow filter without switching to the Pro filter. Thanks

I have a zt740 Confidant engine. Would it be beneficial to use the 300 hr oil change kit? I am presently using their yellow filter and 10w30 semi synthetic oil.

Need to replace coil. What is the air gap clearance ? Thanks in advance

Warranty replaced two spindles today. I complained about the loud deck from the start. Guess it progressively got worse.

Sorry wrong post

It has a nut on the bottom to remove the spindle looks like on mine.

Is that for both ? Thanks

Thanks but don’t see mine listed.

ZTX5 54” What should be the torque settings for blade nut and spindles? Is thetr a better spundle assembly than the one Cub offers ?

6206-2RS. Mine has the sealed bearings I think. No grease fitting

I’ve tried. Best I can tell it’s the right outside spindle. Still has warranty so I’ll probably take it in. Thanks

Got a ZTX5 with squeal with blades engaged. You can hear it slow down as rpm’s lower to stop. Can’t tell if it’s idler or spindle. Only has 60 hrs on the mower. Just wondering if there’s an issue with any of these parts that’s prone to failure.

ZT3200 pumps. Cub manual recommends 200 hrs before changing Hydro oil, I think HG recommends 75. Any one have any input on this subject?

I posted there too.

Like it needs a quieter muffler. Runs great.

Sounds right. I went from a FS730 Kaw. To a ZT740 on my ZTX5. I wear Muffs but this engine is definitely louder.

Wish I could get a quieter one. Thanks.

Only has 50 hrs. Been that way since new

Motor is extremely loud on my zero turn. Do they have anything available to quietness it down. It’s on mt ZTX5 Cub.

My ZTX5 has a Kohler ZT740 engine. Seems excessively loud to me. This may be normal but just checking see if anyone else had noticed. Do they make anything to help reduce the noise? Wonder if they make a quitter muffler. Don’t know who supplies their mufflers.

What would you recommend for the easiest way ? Thanks

Don’t know how that happened. Sorry

Yes that’s it. I have an internal expansion tank. It shows there is a two prong black adapter to use, but, it screws in on the back side. Do you have to remove the wheel ?

ZTX5 with ZT3200 Hydro Gear pumps. Anyone used their kit to change fluid ? Thinking about doing it myself. Just wondering how difficult it would be.

I think Cub recommends half throttle. Even the Zt740 owners manual states half to full throttle. What happens if the solenoid plunger is snipped off . I’ve heard of this being done. Thanks for the help.

ZTX5 with ZT740 25hp Kohler with 15 hrs. Full throttle or idle down for stopping engine . I’ve been lowering throttle to idle and I’ve noticed it’s either backfiring of after firing when I shut it off. I’ve been told to shut down at full throttle, mid throttle, and, idle.

It’s not the parts breakdown as much as the factory service manual that are more in-depth. I’d like to do some DIY things that owners manual doesn’t cover. Thanks so much for your help.

I have the owners manual. The service manual is what I need. From what I understand printed copies were eliminated in 2014. Digital versions are available to dealers only. Used to be able to get the parts, and, service breakdown from Cub. However, partstree and ereplacement parts have the parts...

Need a service manual for my ZTX5 Cub. Thought Cub Cadet would have one available. Thanks in advance.

Just finished changing the break in oil on my ZTX5 ZT740 Kohler. I used a funnel with a strainer. First qt was ok. Second quart found a piece of gray plastic in the funnel screen, same color as the bottle. I used Kohler 10/30 semi synthetic. Glad I found it. Blue cap is for reference only.

ZTX5 ZT740 Kohler. Changing break in oil in about 2 hrs of break in time left. Thoughts on which oil to use ?

The ride was what I noticed with mine, too. I will do some more adjusting. Been used to a JD, and, this ZTX5 is very different.

I’m sorry didn’t mean to offend you. I called Cub the other day. It wasn’t that I didn’t like their answer. Most manuals list their own recommended tire pressures and not state what’s recommended on the sidewall. I’m sorry if I wasn’t clear, wasn’t insinuating that you were not a help, just...

I called Cub and they recommend 28 front and 20 rear (sidewall #’s). They aren’t much help either. I put 25 front 15 rear. Also trying to find the weight of the mower with no luck. Thanks

What’s the recommended tire pressure for a ZTX5 54”? Not in the manual.

1. Any one else notice an extremely loud deck/blade system with blades engaged? Just wondering if that’s a known issue? Also, do they make shorter lap handles? Still a little high all the way down. 2. What is the weight of this mower? 3. Easiest way to lift mower to change blades without deck...

Already did. Thanks

Please delete wrong forum.

I’m sorry, you’ve lost me. Deere recommends to place your deck at preferred cutting height (3”) and adjust gauge wheel to 1/4” from the bottom of the wheel to the ground. I can’t get 2 1/2” even if I raise it to the top hole. Thanks

Installed new hardware and leveled the deck on the 3” setting. However, with the bolt in the bottom hole, the deck wheel is about 3/4” off the ground. This is as low as it will go. What am I doing wrong?

I purchased a new JD bolt and the square shoulders are holding much better. I noticed the old bolt shoulders were a little rounded which was causing it not to hold very well. Also the bolt description stated a square short neck. Does that mean a non JD bolt might work with a little longer square...

ill just move it up one hole. What should it be torqued at ? Don’t want to overtighten it. It’s a M8 bolt. What is the next size bigger? It may fit. Thanks

That’s what I did but they recommend the bottom hole for 3 1/2” cut. I know I may be over thinking it

The bottom hole in the deck wheel bracket on my z540m is rounded and I’m unable to to tighten the 13mm nut without it spinning. I know I could move it up one but I mow between 3 - 3 1/2” height. Any suggestions on how to repair it ?

I have a Z540M with a Kawasaki FS730V. I have an occasional puff of white/blue smoke after restart on a warm engine. I use full throttle on restart, as recommended my owners manual, but, wondering if I’m dumping too much fuel with the full throttle. It would probably start on the the low...

Do you have the part # for them? Thanks
