Which direction did you rotate the zerk fitting? And did you just leave it in that position permanently?

Great video - For that last hard to grease fitting - I did just what everybody else did, I rotated the fitting so I can get the grease gun on it. these grease point are not high pressure so there is no real chance of leaks etc if you loosen the grease fittings slightly. But great video

Over 500 hours on my Radius. I grease all four points every 25 hours. FWIW I use a right angle attachment on my grease gun for both wheels and for the zerk at the back of the deck. For the zerk under the engine, I just rotated the fitting to point to the rear and the straight grease gun fitting works fine. No need to do the disassembly you are going through.

You can back off of the grease fitting 1/4 turn, so it faces outward. Apply the grease and retighten the fitting.

485 hours (residential) on my 4 1/2 year old 60" Radius E, had a couple warranty covered problems...........but for the most part, I'm happy with mine. Keep it lubed, do your oil changes, keep the deck clean or you can break belts, give it some Seafoam once a year and it'll do fine. I'm cutting 5 acres/week, run it 2 - 4 hrs. at a time depending on rain/darkness.

Look into those vertical spindles on the front wheels. They used to have fittings years ago, but they eliminated them. But they need to be taken apart and greased. Or you could add a fitting to it by drilling and tapping a hole.

Thanks for the great video. I didn't realize that it actually has 4. What is the 4th grease fitting for? Also, the view window for the gas, does it actually go all the way up and down with the amount of gas you have? I'm asking because my gas viewing window level doesn't seem to move. It's always about an inch from the bottom. Even when I put about 5-6 gallons of gas in it, the level window did Not move at all.

Should always run at full throttle while blades are engaged. I typically run 1/2 to 3/4 on levers for forward movement. The latter depends on current cut quality and grass thickness. If you don't like how it's mowing reduce forward speed but always maintain full throttle.
