Good morning to all, especially other G5200 owners. I'm going to need your help. I have no manuals for the unit. It has 1376 hours showing on the meter. Engine runs/sounds excellent; drives forward and backward just fine, and seems in generally good condition. Everything works but the horn.
I'm not completely unfamiliar with diesels, having owned a couple of diesel cars, tractor and generator. I did my first pass on maintenance with oil and filter changes on the engine and transmission (transmission filter had a date of 3/01 written on it . I also adjusted the deck rollers more to my liking. Today I'll get out the grease gun and find as many zerks as I can find. Are any especially hard to find?
The biggest problem I noted was the transmission cooling blades are almost completely gone; just a couple of stubs left. But, the transmission only felt warm to the touch after a half-hour of test mowing. I've seen a few other threads on the subject and have found some purchase options for the fan.
Looking forward to a fun time with this cute little thing and good times on the forum. Thanks for providing this resource.
