Thanks Keith! You made my week!

I've been having issues with my D110 (second hand). I changed the oil and the blades but left the old spark plug and fuel filter since they looked good. (I am a total noob at this, btw.) Watching this video and the way you introduced all of the needed tools and your step-by-step instructions, I will be taking her apart this weekend with your video on pause for every step. Thanks for an amazing video that makes a noob like me feel like they can do it too!🔧🚜

You are my HERO - highly competent and effective, positive proof "where there's a will there's a way". A little reminiscent of the long lever arms that were on the walls at the US Army Anniston Depot where tanks were manufactured and repaired in WWII, and the work force was 90% women. They made it work. I really LOVE the way you lay out what is needed for the work. The warning about CHEAP (poor quality - no other way to put it) bonnet hinges - excellent point. "If you don't, you gotta do what you gotta do" -- love it. Good to know how to remove the mower deck -- I do so seasonally as a snow blade is installed.

A drill with a wire wheel will clean up the blade nuts before you try to remove them. I sharpen blades b4 installing. Clean and/or replace the w-ring at the oil drain. Blow the air filter out from the inside out. I run much less air in the tires for a smother ride. Set the deck @ 3.5 or 3.75 and slide a 2x4 under each side of the deck, up. Then just lower/raise the deck to snug. You are using the 3.5" side of the wood as a feeler gauge to set the deck. If you use the deck gauges, just buy two and use them both at the same time. It will same time and hassle of moving around. (I've got 4, but that's me.) Oh, and if you use long enough 2x4s, when removing or installing the deck, use the wood laying down the 1.5" way so you don't have to lift the deck to hook the hangers. Also a little easier to drag deck around. Good vid!

That deck looks in great condition, the deck on my D110 looks rough.

Great demo! Any chance you can do a video on how to adjust the governor on the engine. My D110 revs very high when the blades are not adjusted.

I only use a torque wrench on items that must be torqued per instructions. The only way you will be able to find the torque values on every nut and bolt is to find a torque value chart for nuts and bolts. Then you will need to find out what size bolt or nut and the hardness of the bolt or nut, then go to the chart for the torque. I would suggest trying find a chart online to help you.

I have a rattling noise when I take by foot off the left brake pedal on my John Deere LA110. What do you think I should check first? I thought it may have some to do with the Hydrostatic drive belt belt pullies. My mower is about 16 years old but it pretty good shape. Thanks in advance!

@JohnsonsSmallEngines

Жыл бұрын

Hi Mike, you are correct. If your left pedal which is the clutch/brake pedal shakes a little bit or you do hear a rattle of some sort. That usually means you either have a bad spot in the transmission drive belt that’s making it rattle or pulleys that have worn funny through the years or worst case scenario you may have a transmission drive pulley that is now loose and rattling around. All which can be repaired. I would first look at your drive pulleys where the drive belt runs and replace if necessary. If you’ve never replaced the drive belt or the drive pulleys in 16 years I would say it’s due. You can also check the rear transmission drive pulley by engaging the emergency brake (All while the engine is OFF)get your hand up near the pulley and try to move it up and down. If there is a lot of play up and down your transmission drive pulley may need to be replaced. But I have not done many of the transmission (itself)drive pulley through 30 years of business.

Black smoke normally means to much gas. Maybe your running with the throttle in the choke position or the choke is sticking in the on position. Also too much oil is not good. Make sure the oil level is between the dots on the oil dip stick.

Check to see if you have a electric fuel shut off valve under the carburetor. You will know you have one if you see a cylinder looking round object with a wire sticking out of it under the carburetor which is below the air filter. To check this you must have the emergency brake on and listen very carefully turn the key from off to on and listen for a click at the solenoid. keep turning the key often on and you should hear that click if you do not you may have bad wiring or a bad fuel shut off solenoid. Fuel pumps hardly ever go bad. Also check to make sure your fuel cap vent is clear

@@JohnsonsSmallEngines thanks I'll check those things. I did have the electric fuel shut off and I pulled it off and removed the black tip to ensure fuel would flow, but I never saw anything. I kept trying to "prime" it so to speak and the motor locked up! I did hear a loud bang, so I'm sure I slung a rod. May be the end for this old gal! 🤣

Pull the spark plug out and see if the engine will crank over make sure the ignition wire is away from the spark plug hole and if fuel comes out of the hole then you have a Carburetor issue. If nothing comes out of the hole then you may have a locked motor.
