Maintenance Instructions
Mower Deck Spindle Lubrication
Lubricate each deck spindle grease fitting every 25
hours.
Use SAE general purpose lithium or
molybdenum base grease for grease fittings.
DRD52 or DSD60 Mower Deck Lubrication
Lubricate the U-Joint in the drive shaft every 8 hours
with SAE general purpose lithium or molybdenum
base grease.
Transaxle Lubrication
•
The transaxle oil lubrication is SAE 20W-50 (API
Service Class SL or higher) engine oil.
•
Inspect both transaxle cases and hoses after
every 100 hours of operation for visible leaks.
•
The fluid levels for each transaxle can be checked
visually by looking at the fluid levels in each expansion
reservoir. When the transaxles are cold, the fluid
level in the expansion reservoirs should be between
1/4 and 1/2 in. (0.64 cm and 1.27 cm).

Grease Fitting and Oil Point Lubrication
Lubricate the grease fittings and oil points after every
25 hours of operation. Lubricate more often when
operating in dusty or dirty conditions. Use SAE
general purpose lithium or molybdenum base grease
for grease fittings and light machine oil (SAE 10) to
lubricate oil points. Lubricate the locations shown
in the Chassis and Deck Lubrication Points illus-
tration.
NOTE: PTO universal joints (on the deck and trac tor)
require routine lubrication after every 8 hours of run-
ning time.
NOTE: The best way to lubricate the PTO tube half
of the universal joint assembly is to remove it from the
tractor. See instructions for removing and install ing
PTO quick coupler, refer to Deck Installation in Mow-
er Deck Installation on Tractor in the Assem bly In-
structions.
