Deere GT 235e owner here and can honestly say that replacing the carb is about as far as I would go on my machine. I do recommend that you install the grass chute because that right side blade under that deck is exposed and anyone putting their foot near that discharge while running might be losing a few toes! Kudos for keeping an eye on your elderly friend!

I had the x 360 for many years. I would say it was the lawn mower from hell. Hydronic bed lift, power steering , crusise . It all started when I ran into a stomp and broke a steering arm in half and it was just a light bump. Then after mowing for an hour or so it would just shut down, I have replaced everything on this machine, the hydronic system, carb, plugs. Wires, and gas pump twice. Last week I sold it for 3000 , I could not believe it. I told the guy all that was repaired on the unit. Then I went to our local canadian tire and bought a Husqvarna 54 inch without hydronic bed lift and steering. With the 3000 I got for my old one and 1600 more I have a brand new unit with a 24 hp Kawasaki . I know my unit must have just been a lemon but all the hype about John Deere and all the head aches I have had with this machine, I just had to tell this story. So for anyone reading this, buy a machine with a a great motor and metal transmission and enjoy your summer.

A lot of folks don’t understand the function of those so called “gauge” wheels. They are actually anti-scalp wheels. You set the deck cutting height using the height adjuster in front of the seat, then you adjust the deck wheels so they ride just above the ground, not on it, when the deck is at the normal cutting height.

The design and power of this series of mowers was well designed, perhaps where metal instead of plastic was used. I have a similar model that needs a new engine or full rebuild. What I like is the blade configure and how clippings are moved from the swath. The hydralic components of the 425 model you now own were very useful, as shown. I very much followed along at the various fittings and kits as installed and thank you for the post. M.

@@alvalonline I’m glad you see this because a lot of other viewers don’t they think it’s better to go buy a brand new throwaway piece of junk lawnmower from a big box store than this garden tractor that is 1000 times more capable and will last a lifetime, not to mention all the attachments that can go on it, it’s basically a small tractor,and for what I paid for it I think I got a good deal. I use it all the time now and it has been a Great Tractor. I actually just ended up buying another one that you will see in a upcoming video.

That's one hell of a machine. All I do is mow the grass and occasionally move a trailer and log splitter so I can mow more grass. A simple air cooled engine gets the job done less things that can break. Using that just to mow is like that guy that's got that f350 for grocery shopping.

This was my first time watching one of your videos. I'm impressed with your cleanliness and attention to detail when cleaning gaskets off. Also, what williamhill9432 said, about the speed of the video. Good job. The only suggestion I would have on this particular repair, would be replacing that spring instead of stretching it out again. The tensile strength is out of that one, and a new one would most likely be better. Also, it looked liked it had been quite a while since that oil was changed. Clean oil in an engine is a good insurance policy for no trouble. Not you fault, I know it came that way. With those new parts in there, it ought be good for another 1000 hours.

When mowing grass that high, raise your deck to the top for first cut. Put the shield on the Discharge Chute. Most would put on a new Oil Pressure Sending Switch before tearing down the entire engine. Sand that crank and install a new seal that would have been ruined by pulling it off that rusted snout. Good find on the Spring. Strange that the right front wheel has valve on inside and the Left Front had valve on the Outside. I have had to adjust the ridiculous Reverse Pedal. On the L and LA models they should be same height and there is a slot in a lever arm that allows this to be done. I much prefer the Fender mounted lever which was also cruise control. Lights are great. Hope the wiring can handle them. You did good on the price. Gutsy move to tear into the engine. Great to help folks. Don't see many 1960's Falcons!

One of the best videos I've seen on this subject. You're a very good mechanic and wouldn't hesitate to have you work on my equipment. I would add when you mentioned so many transmissions for this model being available that isn't necessarily due to the quality of the machine. Many of these are "parted out" for relatively minor reasons due to the parts being much more valuable individually than the whole tractor. Many "recyclers" purchase these machines just for that purpose. It's a shame but they do provide us with affordable parts. Something John Deere obviously won't do.

I was laid up for seven weeks with spinal surgery during peak mowing season. The guy who helped my wife manage brought a mower into the shop with that engine and it was frozen. I took my time and pulled the engine and the bottom end looked great. It was fine to pulling the heads, and I determined it must have had some water get in around the piston rings and freeze. I tried everything but finally determined the only and best way to remove them was drill and tap the piston tops and use a puller after soaking for weeks had no gains. He pulled the plug and is one of those guys who hates to be obligated to another person. What a shame as I am fairly certain that I could have fixed it with a ring job or pistons only

400 series tractors were some of the best garden tractors Deere ever made. I loved mine. Upgraded to a 1025R but still can’t bring myself to sell the 425. I love that damn thing. Thankfully it’s never had any issues except one small seal on the rear axle that we had to split the tractor in order to fix. But it was relatively easy. Just a long process for a seal the size of a quarter.

Great job ! Really don’t know why that oil pump would have failed at such low hours. Kawasaki should have never used plastic parts in a lot of those areas ! They just don’t build equipment to last anymore, seems like it’s done on purpose so it will fail quicker and we’ll have to pay a high repair cost or buy another expensive fail quick tractor ! It’s really sad ! Glad you caught the problems and potential problems and addressed them now so you’ll get several hours of service out of it ! Have a Blessed Day

thank you micheal, usually these engines last a long time and go many hours, they used plastic gears to quiet and smooth the engine, and it worked but after 25 years plastic will start to degrade, however my gear was still in good shape but I figured I’d try a steel gear

I now suspect the spring was the whole problem. But now you have the peace of mind knowing the plastic gears are not going to fail you on short notice. It is great you were comfortable and capable of making those repairs. I hope that machine is as good to you as my JD's have been. My oldest was new in 1987 and still runs great. Not hydraulic anything. Manual deck lift, manual mower engagement and manpower steering. So, it had the advantage of being simpler, with less to go wrong.

thank you for sharing!! that’s awesome

I sure do like those older JD mowers. That was a nice thing that you did for your friend. I really like his old Falcon. I hope you have good luck with your mower.

Great instructional video, you know looks can be deceiving, for the not trained eye this machine could be perfect but there is always something and I am glad it end up in your hands so it would last forever. Not surprised at all of a great work done. Stay safe brother ! 👊🏻

Glad you liked it!

You got a great machine there!!😊

Those are great tractors. I had a 455 with a loader. Those 400 series are about the last of the true garden tractors . I don’t think you paid too much at all. Nice tractor!
