Has anyone added a wash nozzle/kit to their ZTX42?
If so, pros and cons?
Part # ?
Installation tips?

I’ve had two Toro mowers that had them. They were pretty much a useless gimmick.
It’s your mower and your choice.

A lazy person con designed to do a 1/2 decient job of cleaning the underside of the deck which in most cases is a fools errand and promote the premature failure of spindle bearings unless you follow a rigrious proceedure which generally makes more mess and takes more time than shoving a gloved hand under there and pulling the thick lumps of grass out while it is fresh & soft which in most cases is actually not needed and makes no difference because the grass will have built back up after 10 minutes of mowing the next time you use it .

Had several mower decks with a wash-out port.....tried a few times and it was just a mess and not very productive. Get a Mow-Jack lift and scrape.......very easy

My former Toro had the port as well. I would never use it..Good way for the maker to sell more spindles imo.
