Really miss my JX75. Watching the video reminded me of all the issues I did have orver the life of it. 1) Replaced the thrown piston rod 2) Replaced tires 3) Engine Cluch was stuck, and always engaged (this is the one I couldn't fix and ended up selling it), 3) random replacments like broken gas cap. As much as I loved it, getting parts was a pain.

Highly Recommend Jx75 or 14sb if you’re willing to take on restoration project. We have sold off all our name brand commercial new mowers and went all vintage John Deere mowers in my lawn service and can’t be happier with the quality of cut and the reliability of 25-30yr mower. Like the old saying goes they dont build them like they used to.

They sure don’t build them like they used to my friend! Very cool you went back to the old stuff!

Had two of them in mint condition this spring, one with a Briggs Quantum and one with the awesome ‘saki engine. Loved everything about them EXCEPT: 1) Couldn’t feather the drive, when you pull the lever it’s 0 to 60 burnout time on the lawn unless you want to select a speed at the end of every row, and 2) only goes to 3 1/2” cutting height and I needed 4” in summertime. Sold them both to a landscaper, other than those two issues they were nice though.

I bought my '93 14SB used in summer of "94 for $325. It's a JX75 with silver deck😀 Over the years I've put one belt on it, a couple of shift cables, BBC bearing and friction disk and one pair of new wheels. It has the oil filter option, and I run a Toyota/Denso F2/N1 filter same filter as my wife's '05 Prius! Cheap (currently Supertech) 5w30 full syn gets changed every other year. I know I should change the oil yearly, but then again, I should probably swap out the ORIGINAL spark plug, too😂😂... Great vid, these are the greatest walk-behinds ever built.

Hi JB. Very nice KZread channel and a most instructive video. It's rare to see enthusiasts guy like you😃 From the start, I was mowing with a Kubota W4021 from 1985 but which broke down 15 days ago. Some parts being very complicated to find and the model being quite old, I did not want to incur costs on it. So I decided to look for a second-hand mower and that's when I came across your awesome video JB. So I found a 1998 JX85 with the famous 'saki FC150V engine, not used a lot and which has just been serviced. It looks like it come out from the dealership like in 1998 😎

I broke my handle by tightening too much it would cost $200 to replace, and my mower was 14pt push so I decided to buy new Honda self propelled. After 3 years in September my Honda blew up I had to go back to my John Deere and it stared up with fresh gas after a couple of pulls. It also comes with a tube for the oil change goes past the deck no spill. Bought a used Ariens lawn mower Kawasaki engine that is a beast too much engine with an oil filter.

In 2015 I gave mine away free as I was moving to my new house and bought an ego. I just gave it to one of the guys who mowed lawns in our neighborhood. I used to take it for service every year so it was in perfect shape. Just figured I wouldn't be mowing a big yard with self propelled and had the new ego for the back up. What an idiot I was, as I bought a Honda this year to do my backyard by myself since we have a pool now and don't want clippings blown into the pool. I had the electric start too for the wife to use in case I was away and she needed to mow (she's only 4' 11 and cant pull a mower to start it being so short). 😭

Otherwise it was worth every penny and then some. Amsoil 10w-30 since 2003 and change the oil every 2 years. Oil still looks clean after 2 years. I sometimes remember to check the oil level.

JB-LOVE THIS MOWER! (Have several myself so of course I would say that)... everything you said was spot on...EXCEPT: your height adjustment information was a bit misleading - the further forward you put the height adjusters (on the front the I position) is the highest cut height (approx 3.5") and the III is the lowest setting (near tee box height)...I liked that you mentioned the skid plates as an upgrade - I would also recommend finding and installing the spin-on oil filter kit...more oil/better cooling/longer oil life/better filtration...no point keeping the Honda or the Toro with that JD! If anyone wants to discuss this line of mowers more - pls comment and we can get a discussion going...as JB said - if you find one in good shape for little money - BUY IT...even with the parts from a JD dealer (which mine Crossroads Equipment-has been excellent and fairly priced), you will spend LESS than a new Personal Pace Toro with a chinese clone engine and have a way better mower in EVERY respect (except maybe the mulching finish-I will be exploring mulching blades and may make a video on this once tested) The heft of the OEM blades is incredible - but as JB says they bag THE BEST...I also rear discharge to get better better dispersal than the side chute - BUT do so at your own risk...I have a few KZread videos on these mowers and links to others if anyone is interested let me know...Great video as always JB!

I've always liked spiral shaped decks for vacuuming clippings, there seems to be a trade off on them between suspending the cut clippings for multiple cuts vs vacuum/speed of cut clippings. Your Deere would probably excel at thick or tall grass. I wonder if a dual blade (like Honda uses) could provide the best of both worlds?

The factory blade gets really good vacuum and leaves a superior cut when bagging or if clippings are not too long discharging...I will be trying to find a mulching blade that fits as that is the weakest aspect of cutting - the Super Recycler does this the best in my experience
