2:38 pouring oil out of bottle "backwards", causing it to "gulp", flip bottle around so spout is on top and it'll pour smoothly

Wondering how the wheel can turn with the transaxle disengaged during purging process?

I have an Aaron's icon XD Mower and it does not have the oil field canisters in the location that you're stating where else would they be located

My Ariens edge is leaking a lot of oil from one of the hydros, my question is are they repairable or are they sealed? ZT model 915254

Thank you that should help. All as I got to do is find hydraulic reservoir. Looks like it's stuffed in by the fuel tank on my model ikon x Briggs and Stratton 22hp. This information was not in my operation manual. Model number 915207, purchase in July 2017..

When purchasing a new apex from a dealer. Does the mower. Need to be serviced by a dealer every year to keep the 4 years warranty?

I went to our one and only mower servicing place and asked for the transaxle filters for my Edge model 915245, S/N 010108 and they said it takes 2 filters and the same ones that also fits the Gravely and I'm stuffed if I can find the filters.

Are the hydros on a mini zoom 1534 serviceable or no? If not where could I get replacement hydros for it?

Can you tell me what type of jaw oil filter wrench is used in this video?

Why did Ariens change to a non-serviceable trans axle on the Icon XD series?

[upscaledabooch]

It would be great if how to remove a 1 bolt rear tire and then list the appropriate torque when remounting that tire you can’t take off would be great!

I have a 2021 Apex. The parking brake has to be engaged (up position) in order to start the motor. However, as soon as I release the brake (move into down position) the motor automatically shuts off. So, how can I move the steering arms to purge air from the system if the brake has to be off in order to move them?

[dedomv]

I wish they were all serviceable. I have the Ariens 52 supposedly sealed system. What a terrible design.

Is there not a driver presence sensor in the seat allowing you to drive this machine while not sitting in the seat?

[madisongriffin]

Do all ariens zero turns use the same hydro oil?? I have a ariens apex 60in

How many hours are recommend in-between hydrostatic oil change?

I have the Ikon XD52 and its a great machine but lately my left side has weak pull to it and seems to have a slight stutter when it starts moving. i know the trans are sealed but my question is if i can swap the sealed trans for one that is maintainable. I am at the end of my 3rd season of mowing with it at around 180+ hrs but buying a trans every 3 years with each trans costing 750 dollars seems a little steep at 1500 dollar maintenance every 3 years. what is my best option here?

[glennwade]

I bought the IKON XD52 earlier this year and it works great, but it appears to have an oil leak somewhere. Not sure if it's engine oil or hydraulic fluid. When I check the engine oil dipstick, the level is fine. What should I do? I don't want the transmission to lock up. The oil puddle seems to collect under the transaxle, but it also is beneath the engine as well.

I have an ikon xl 60. How many quarts of oil do I need
