JMO, 1800hrs on my ZD 323 and the jack works perfectly. I suspect your mower was left out in the weather and didn't get much cleaning. I use a leaf blower to clean my jack and mower deck after every use. I do not use any lube on the jack screw because it attracts and holds dirt.

I have had 5 female dogs (1 currently) on Proin. It works great, no issues.

I follow this guy on YT and I like how he presents information. Burnishing trailer brakes

We lost a dog one day after she was injected with Librella. Here is some known info on side affects. (AI search results) Librela has been associated with several adverse effects in dogs, including neurological issues like ataxia and seizures, as well as gastrointestinal problems and urinary...

I sand down the end of a tongue depress into a taper and use that to scrape up the old grease. It does a good job of getting the grease off without damaging the paint. I then wipe everything down with rags and WD-40.

Have you cleaned up the battery - to engine block connection? Sounds like that mower sat out in the weather if you are finding corrosion on contacts etc.

Get a bottle of this and treat both tanks and top off the fuel. P.S. get on the ground and visually inspect both fuel filters. I would bet they both need to be replaced. Try swapping fuel tank caps from side to side and see if the problem moves to the other tank. I have found that the fuel...

Leaf blower and a few times a year when I also clean air filters I use this. It is less expensive on Amazon.

Go to a hardware store and purchase these. Blades I use them to replace grips on my golf clubs and they do not scratch or damage the metal shafts.

IMO, you seem to have made a good deal on your mower. Non clapped out ZD mowers are going for more than $7K in my area. A couple of things you may want to take a look at. Change mower deck gear box oil, it is often overlooked by DIY folks. When I have starting safety switch issues it is...

I think the 23 refers to metric horsepower as measured at the flywheel with no engine accessories.

My 4760 came with front weight bracket built into the grill guard guard. IMO I think you will be okay without front weights, My 7ft bushhog weighs about the same as your finish mower but extends further from back of the tractor. I leave loader on but no bucket installed and I have no problems...

I would remove oil filter, drain then re-install. Run engine, check oil level, repeat if needed until correct oil level is reached.

I have the same basket shown in the GrumpyFarmer photo and my wife loves it. Much better than her in the bucket. If you purchase a basket, pay attention to the listed weight of the basket. Some baskets are 70lbs shipped and others are 130lbs shipped. The 70lb ones are super flimsy. As far as...

Maybe Ford should off a Kubota package. Like the old H.D. package
