My doctor and I have exhausted every vitamin test trying to stop the neuropathy in my feet and nothing helps. They still burn after starting 6 months ago. I’ve had about 25 different blood tests and they all came back as in or near the green area in the results. They all show nothing wrong. No diabetes, B12 is good, no kidney problems, etc.

My doctor wants me to have a nerve test at a local neurology clinic. I’m told the test is painful. I already know mine is in the small nerves since I have no problem walking.

I asked what will I gain from the test and he had no answer. I’ve asked others if the information they got helped them and they all said no.

Should I have the test? Did it help you? If so, how. What did you do differently that has helped? Cured?

I want to make my Z515e zero turn mower ride more comfortable and consider adding a suspension seat to it but concerned it will make my legs hit the turn levers and also concerned it might make it too easy to turn over on steep hillsides. I know some of the M530 is offered with suspension seats and it’s basically the same mower but don’t know of anyone that has one for me to ask. My turn levers, or whatever they are called, are as high as they will go.

I changed the oil in the left hydraulic pump to 15w50 in hopes I would see a faster speed when hot on my Z515e zero turn. Unfortunately it doesn’t go any faster than the right one. Cry

There’s no drain on these pumps, so I used a pump suction on it. It held a lot more oil than I expected. If you do it, be sure the hose is small enough to go through a hole to the bottom. It takes more than a quart I’m guessing. When pouring in the new synthetic oil, I overfilled and had to suck a little out!

I guess if I want to go faster than 8 mph I will have to trade for another model. I mow several acres and in a lot of places the grass is easy to mow and I need more speed in those places. My deck is 60”.

PS - if you are going to buy one like this, I suggest the M30 model. It costs a little more but has the Kawasaki engine. Plus, it’s supposed to go 9 mph. Smile

It’s a Z515E, not 513. I couldn’t figure out how to edit the main line. I’ve got a little over 300 hours on the mower and have noticed it runs faster for the first 15 minutes and gets a little slower after that. Or maybe it just feels that way. It has a 60” mowing deck and mows the same at any speed and I need all the speed I can get. I know it’s time to change the fluid. Is there a hydraulic fluid that will work as well when hot as it does when cool?

They are supposed to be the same except engine.

I recently bought the newest BTE advanced hearing aids because I was having trouble understanding speech with my old ones. I tried different brands and got the better ones but still have problems understanding speech. I’m considering buying the custom molds. Before I spend the money I want to know if anyone else has switched to the custom molds and can now understand speech better. Closed or vented molds? I know I don’t like the occulted sound of unvented domes but I will do whatever it takes. My hearing loss has become worse over the last 15 years. My audiologist has adjusted mine several times.

I have a John Deer Z515 zero turn and mow several acres. I’m needing more comfort over a somewhat rough yard/pasture. I’ve changed the seat rails to the Comfort Glide where the seat glides front to rear. This helps some but not as much as I want. I’m considering adding the suspension seat but it’s pretty expensive. I’m curious if anyone has added the suspension to their seat and if it’s worth the money.
