I inherited a 1993 612 Grasshopper and am doing what upkeep I can on it. The drive filters seem to have turned to unobtanium, and so on a hydro oil change, I left them. Engine oil in the 12.5 hp Briggs got changed and the easy zerks got greased. Acquiring a pair of filters would be nice...
Is there an easy way to get at the mower drive joints to grease them? and I assume there is a right angle drive to run the main power input to the mower deck. Could use some guidance on easy access to the joints, and what sort of service the right angle drive needs.
It cuts well, but I am thinking it could really use a suspension system under its seat. The only issue besides a tired battery was the vacuum/pulse fuel pump. The sintered vent got plugged and it refused to deliver enough fuel. A dose of brakeclean fixed that right up. The other mod this beast has is a vented belt housing for the deck. Allegedly the belts all died, before this bit was installed, and after that, no more issue...
