Hello,

I just got a cub cadet ultima zt1 54in mower. I am at the point where I need to do my first scheduled maintenance. The manual says to grease all lubrication points but I’m not sure I can find any grease fittings. Can someone please tell me where to grease everything?

Get your machine details off the ID tags.
Go to the Cub cadet web page and from the support section download the parts book,
Scan down the descriptions for grease fittings.
As for the rest of the mower.
After blowing them clean liberally spray every place where two or more parts move against each other with dry lithium grease.
Leave the mower at least 15 minutes before you mow with it so the solvent can flash off.
If you bought them from a dealer ask the dealer.

It is a very long shot to hope there is some one oon any forum that has the exact same mower as yours , knows what you want to know and is on line.
People tend to come here when they have a problem then leave once it is fixed.
I suppose you have searched the forum using your model number and "grease",
This will pull up previous threads from people who could not find then, were told where they were then never came back.

There aren't many grease zerks on zero turns.

Mine (Husky MZ52) only has eight: each front wheel and spindle; each mower blade spindle and the deck idler arm bracket.

If yours has suspension, there will probably be grease zerks there, too.

How about the tension arm on the drive belt ?

Support = service & parts
You just got a link directly to the page.
Drop your numbers in and a new page with what uus available will pop up.
Should have the owners, IPL & service manuals for you machine on it, usually is a dozen different languages.

I'll have to get under there and look.

The hyroglyphics lube diagram doesn't show one and there is no mention of one in the text.

Post the numbers & one of the techs or myself will see what we can dredge up.
The slightly more tedious method is to use the 13 number off you tag on parts tree , Jackes etc and look at the IPLs on line one page at a time.

Might try this site as well http://manuals.mtdproducts.com/mtd/Public.do?BrandCode=10051&langId=-1

The IP geeks keep on changing the front end of the data base to justify their pay checks.
