They've kept it nice and simple.. love it. It's the one I grew up with "the 110". Drove the mid 80's model .. then the 2008 model.. now about to get my 2024 model of the s110 here this Friday! Can't wait to mow the yard.. lol

Thank you so much for making it plain & simple for us who know nothing!

This was the best tutorial that I’ve ever had on this lawnmower, and I have been searching for over six months. Now I need a video to figure out how to put the blades down. I that in there. Excellent demo.

The Best Explanation I have seen for this Tractor Mower. Thank you for going into detail unlike some other videos didn't. 😉My daughter sent me one and they delivered it a foot away from my front door so I wouldn't miss it and the first thing I thought was ok maybe no gas so I get to move it manually and I found the metal pin to make sure it was out to push it and you are the only on that showed how that works! You also show in depth how to use the reverse option and explained the arm turns on and off the blades even though they use other words or codes to explain things in the book on in the pictures on the machine. Good Job! 😊

@@JohnsonsSmallEngines Good job on the video. I ordered the mulching cover today. I wonder if I need to order the mulching kit they sell too? I think I would have to swap the blades.. It's brand new.. I guess I will just wait a season till they wear out .. IDK.. first rider

@JohnsonsSmallEngines

Жыл бұрын

I think your mower should already have the mulching blades? Check . If you do, then the mulching cover should be all you need. You can always check to see what comes with the kit before you would purchase it.

Excellent video for a novice driver!!! I have watched it 3 times and think I have it figured out. The one thing I don't know is if you can get OFF the mower to move something without the engine shutting down? I am sure it is a safety feature but annoying sometimes ;)

Hi Shannon, When the engine is running, as long as the mower deck is off and the brake pedal is in the down, locked position, you will be able to get off the machine.

Great video. I just purchased one of these and I’m picking it up on Tuesday. Quick question. I currently disconnect the battery on my Troy built after every use so the battery doesn’t drain. The tractor gets used at least twice a month, is it best to continue disconnecting the battery on this tractor as well?

@JohnsonsSmallEngines

2 жыл бұрын

The battery should not be drawing voltage when the ignition key is in the off position. You should not need to disconnect it.

Nice review! So I have a S100 and my dad for whatever reason accidentally removed the oil drain cap and a small droop of oil came out. It only has 3.3 hrs on it so just to be safe should I add a small amount to be safe?

@JohnsonsSmallEngines

Жыл бұрын

Just check the oil level. If you need it add it. If you don’t, you don’t :)

Bless your heart, I was about to call my box store to come get this mower! For the life of me I couldn't figure out why the forward pedal wouldn't do anything. Why is there a transmission cut off for pushing? Sorry, not mechanically inclined lol

@JohnsonsSmallEngines

2 жыл бұрын

I’m glad you figured it out. The reason why the transmission cut is just how I explained it in the video. When you need to push the tractor, you must pull the rod out in the back of the transmission so you do not ruin the transmission. You just need to remember to push the rod back in or just as you found out, the forward/reverse pedals will not work.

Just bought a S120. I have 3 hrs. on it. Why does it blow white smoke when I start it? Oil level is fine, doesn't do it while operating, ONLY on start up. Dealer told me to watch it until 15-20 hrs. as it's assembly lube from the factory and needs to burn off. What do you think?

@JohnsonsSmallEngines

2 жыл бұрын

My opinion, It should not blow white smoke when machine is new. Something internal is wrong with engine. You need to have have it repaired or replaced.

I just bought this mower. I really thought it sounds rough when I engage the blades. Feels rough too. My last mower didn't rattle and shake so bad. Your mower sounds the same. Is this normal? I was thinking of returning it...

@JohnsonsSmallEngines

Жыл бұрын

Make sure your running the engine at full speed to keep the vibrations down to a minimum. The S110 is the cheapest John Deere they make at this time and it is the quality of the same priced Craftsman. If your thinking of returning it? I have been working on all makes and models for over 30 years and In my opinion, I would put that money into the John Deere X300 series and you will be much happier! The X300 series are what call the start of the good John Deere tractors. I do not recommend purchasing any of the Cub Cadet line of machines because they are owned by the biggest manufacturer of lower end equipment in the world (MTD). Again this is only my opinion.

I just got this mower and the deck shakes and is very loud when pto is engaged. I was just wondering if that's normal? It seems like it does the same in the video. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Make sure the engine is at full speed when cutting. Running mower deck at slower speeds will make the deck shake more.
