I purchased a Simplicity 5216 2 years ago.
Sharpened the blades and lubed all the points I could find on the deck and underside linkages and front end earlier this week.
I do not have a manual so I have a couple Qs.
Does the hydrostatic drive require any attention like changing oil or ? I see a drain plug.
Are there any grease fittings on the rear end?
On the deck, I found grease fittings on only two of the three blade shaft spindles. The left side spindle didn't have a fitting. How does this get lubed and is this the way they all are?
Note this is a tractor that lives a pretty easy life. Last year I think I mowed 4 times all year - grass doesn't grow much in the northwoods of Wisconsin.
