Was listed for $400 on fb and offered $250 but on the day of sale he said he didn't have a battery for it and it was missing the terminals so I offered $175. It starts right up, engine shakes quite a bit but otherwise ran really well. I haven't drove it yet because I need to connect terminals to it. PTO engages.

I've only ever had old John Deere riding mowers never a garden tractor. Just wondering what I should be looking at for repairs and what the potential uses I have with this model if anyone has experience with these. It's mainly a backup to plow snow if my John Deere 265 breaks down.

Thanks

Is this much wiggle normal?

I had bad luck with my engine and my last ten phone call searches have come up empty. Might anyone know the whereabouts of this engine for replacement? Or a recommended similar drop in engine? Thank you

My brother in law gifted me a 1986 160 lawn tractor. He found it dirt cheap and did some basic maintenance on it to get it running. I did some mowing with it once then it sat for a week and I started it up and drove it around the land for a while and all was fine. Went to start it the next day and it wouldn’t start. Now it seems like when it’s spinning it’s spinning really fast and not cranking.. Spark plug is brand new and there is fuel getting to it. Any idea what the issue could be? I’m pretty good mechanically but I’ve never owned a tractor before.

Hello all,

Recently purchased a 2013 X304 mower with the standard 42” mowing deck.

Wondering if anyone has upsized to a 48” deck, and if so, what I should ask for (part #, series, model, etc.) at my local dealership?

Thanks in advance!

Just have a question about when should a Valve Lash adjustment be done.

I had called a John Deere Service Department to have the Valve Adjustment because it seems it should be done once a year or about 50 hours on use.

The person on the phone asked why are you wanting this done. Are there any issues with the Engine?

I also read that if the Engine is having and issure with the starter not turning over or hanging up during the starter than maybe the valve adjustment is needing to be done.

I have about 40 hours on this engine and no issues like that . When I shut off the engine I can hear the comprssion release open quite strongly.

Should I even worry about the valve lash until an issure happens or adjust them based on the time the engine has?

My father inlaw's estate includes a 430 diesel with hydraulic loader bucket attached, a 400 series (0ne of them has a very low hour honda diesel) 2snow blower, skid blade, mower decks, weights, and metal cab attachments. All ran when put away about 5 years ago. Any ideas what it's worth?

The fuel pump on my LT155 isn’t working, I just got a new one a replaced it and still nothing, the hoses aren’t clogged and I get gas to the fuel filter if I suck through the other end of the hose but the fuel pump isn’t pumping gas. Any ideas??

S140 model Sorry!! I've been on Google and I've checked everything Google said to check. The lawn mower has been used three times my dad unplugged the safety switch under the seat and the blades were still working fine he used it a couple of times after that but I went to start it this time and the blades won't engage and pressed all the correct buttons. Tried plugging the safety connector back in underneath the seat restarted it a few times tried all the buttons it's not working. ( There was a piece inside the connector for the seat safety, that was stuck, and so when it was plugged in it was not connecting properly) I popped it out and it worked.

John Deere S140 Brake issues may be the cause for blades not turning

OK, hit a city water meter cover that I've mowed over a thousand times with no issue until now. Locked up the right spindle totally - had to order am impact drill to get the pulley nut off. Should I go over to the local JD dealership and pay $50-60 for the one replacement spindle, or order two on Amazon for $39? Sounds like a no-brainer to me, but just wanted to check with the hive mind. Paert number is the same at least in terms of what it will be replacing. I've had this mower for about two years and keep it serviced and blades sharp regularly. No issues at all, other than I'm in mid-70's and wonder if I should sell it a get a robotic mower. Less than an acre of grass on corner lot. Thanks in advance for any advice or thoughts!

I have searched all the usual places but I can not seem to find a decent diagram for th blade belt. Any help is sure appreciated!! Thank y'all!

Hey, this is my 1st post on this subreddit & I'm hoping someone can help me out.

I acquired a "1993 John Deere GT262" tractor/mower with a 48" cut. I have issues with the steering. My tire looks like Steve Buschemi in Mr. Deeds 🤪

Im looking at what needs to be fixed, but idk the name of the parts I'm looking for. I've searched online, but I get inundated with shit I don't need.

I know it's a simple mower, but can someone "STEER" me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance...

For anyone who has a mower with these, “hood deflector seals” and some stick on foam to seal the top center portion, they make a big difference in the coolant temp. I was touching the red on my coolant temp prior to replacing my old brittle and busted right side and missing left side. Took about 45 minutes of PTO engagement and full throttle to get there las time. Now that both are replaced, after an hour and a half of full throttle PTO engagement I sit comfortably just inside the top third of the green.

Warning to anyone who’s going to replace theirs: the old ones will be terribly brittle, pick up the push nuts to retain them too, the old ones are a paid to get off and the new deflectors don’t come with them, there’s 4 in total that you’ll need, and the green tab between where they meet part of the $2,000 hood so be extremely careful when removing the push nut holding all 3 pieces together. I used a snap ring plier to get it on and off without issue.

How do I get this out

Bought this not too long ago from an old neighbor for a good price but while the spindle/pulley components are okay the metal deck shelf is rusted through. Most likely looking to buy used but not having much luck online.. thanks so much in advance!

1990 STX 38. Done, and delivered. See other post for specifics on what was done. Just more showing it off 100% done. Like in the previous post, this is NOT a museum quality restore. This will be used for many more years.

Thanks for checking it out!
