Annual maintenance checkup and cost?

[duker99]

I just purchased a ZTR Toro 286E with 297 hours (62"). Before the season begins, what maintenance should I have performed and what should it cost (Ballpark)?
Thanks!

Follow the recomendations in your owners manual.

Didn't come with one, guess I'll have to wait until I get one. "thanks."

Grease everything, change oil, and maybe hydro fluid. Check the belts, tires and all bearings. Make sure deck is level and everything is adjusted right. Put on new blades, and fill gas.

its a good idea to put fuel stabilizer in too.
