Most accumulators have a dump valve that can be opened to drain oil to the tank. Screw the charging rig onto the accumulator`s Schrader valve and turn the gas chuck handle clockwise to depress the pin. The current pre-charge can then be read on the charging rig.
Remove the oil fill tube`s dipstick and tilt the mower in the direction of the container until oil begins to drain out. Never turn the lawnmower upside down, as this will cause the carburetor to flood and could damage the engine.
Look under the car and locate the drain plug: It is a large nut or plug located under the oil pan (large tank) at the bottom of the engine.

On my cu cadet zero turn only the left side turns and the right side moans but wont move ever with the release lever to free wheel released
ANSWER : Check the hydraulic oil level for the hydrostat drives(if it has a reserve tank located under the seat. Some ZT’s don’t have the reserve tank. Don’t over fill that tank. 1/4 inch above the bottom is all it needs.)

Also, check the steering arm bolts. Very often they work themselves loose and the arm doesn’t pull the valve rod that controls the hydrostat unit.

I have a cub cadet rzt50 mower…Need to replace a tire
ANSWER : There is a thru bolt, and inside and outside bushing, and center sleeve. Remove those to remove the wheel. Obviously support the frame on a jack. Most tires can be removed using a slight soapy solution and 2 smooth screwdrivers. Replacement, use a soapy solution around the bead, and using only hand pressure put the tire back on. Use a cinch strap around the center of the tire to help keep the tire beads against the rim and air it back up.
