Hello everyone, I'm Preston down south of Houston. Just retired my RTZ Cub. Purchased a 2006 Lesco Commercial Plus 48" zero turn.
Really like the machine, seems to be built like a Tank. Rough Riding! lol. I have already started some maintenance, changed Engine Oil, 19hp
Kawasaki. Filter, checked the plugs, new air filter. This machine has grease fittings everywhere. Love it! My problem is I want to change the
hydraulic drive oil. I have purchased 15-50 Mobile one and a filter. Have no clue where the filter is located? This machine looks similar to the
Bob Cats, but the filter isn't where it is on a Bob Cat. I can't seem to find much information on this machine. Any help would be greatly appreciated

The drive will be covered by the drive maker, Parker, Tuff Torque, Hydrogear etc
Sp ferrit around the undersid to see if you can find a make & model number for the drives then go to the appropriate company web page for information.

Thanks for the reply. I have been up and down and all around. LOL. This machine makes my old Cub look like a bike with training wheels.
Definitely, a real machine. Wasn't even thinking about seeing what brand the drive motors might be. Just thought someone would know. I don't
know how popular this machine is, or if it's any good. Thanks for your response, this is my first post and thanks for a answer.

Just not exported to Australia
There were a lot of brands that never made it down here
And of the ones that did a lot were rebadged to a local brand

Lesco never got big or even slightly popular. I have only seen one in all my years (mowed with it). Seemed to be a decent machine, and pretty sure they were discontinued several years ago.

Think they were made for Lesco by another stellar mower maker, forgot who. They are good machines still to this day. Heavy build like OP said.

Well there are 30,000,000 of us so not hard to do.
I got head hunted to go to SA during the BS embargo years, I turned it down, one of my very few regrets

I need to get you some pictures. Jacked her up and removed all the panels. Extremely impressed with how well built this machine appears. The Wife, the one
who cuts the grass has a hard time getting on her. Almost needs a latter. It's super fast too. lol I'm actually surprised the power and speed from just a 19hp Kawasaki
engine. Power washed the underside of the deck and going to grease all the fittings. Damn, lots of fittings! Still have no clue where the filter or filters are located. Tried tracing back the hoses from the reservoir tank. Going to remove the engine tin and check the fins for crap. 30,000,000 of you FOLKS, that actually good. We have at least that many Illegals here, I only wish they were Australians. No such luck? lol Cheers for now.

Hello Folks, can't seem to download pictures. Pictures are too big. Whats the secret. Just downloaded them off my phone. .JPG FILES.
This Site is not happy with me. The good news is I think I found the Filter location. It appears to sit on top of the reservoir Tank held in place by 3
10mm bolts. I haven't opened it yet. Probably some type of paper element beneath the lid. The lid has some numbers on it. model 02002257, element
02002258. I'm assuming the element is in a canister under this lead. You know what they say about assumptions? lol

Found a corresponding number on Amazon 02002258. looks like it fits a Cub Cadet and other machines. Going to pull the cover. Tried sniping the images.
Still too big!

You drop the images into a photo editing app
resize it to 12" along the longest edge and set the resolution to 72 dpi then SAVE the image as a JPG
Phones do not actually convert the image to a JPG unless you set the phone to capture as a jpg
Very few people do this because it takes the phone about 30 sec to write the file which is why phones use .RAW format

I don't have any photo editing app. Thanks I might try to download something. I think I understand the process. I'll get back.
