love your videos your review was one reason why i bought my first John Deere last month a D130 . I love my Deere so far it runs and looks Awesome its just to bad the grass is shot from no rain and i only get to use it now once every 10 days or so. I change the oil and all the filters on my mowers every spring no matter what ...do that and it should run for many years. keep making videos man yours are great.

+Brian R Thanks I'm glad you like the videos. Yeah too bad the grass is too short. Thanks again!

Thanks for the tip on the shifter. Mine has 30 hours on it and was given to me after the original owner got fed up with the slipping belt. Turns out it was assembled wrong at the factory and the FNR linkage that drops down to the top of the transaxle case was installed inside of the belt loop instead of outside. It caused the belt to drag and be pulled slightly away from a good 180 degree run around the trans pulley. it was also run on the inside of the spring hat instead of around the outside. Both resulted in polished surfaces on the spring hat and trans linkage but no damage. My only gripe has been having to pull back on the pedal slightly to shift through FNR. I'm hoping your shift plate trick for repositioning it will help alleviate it! Great followup vid!

I bought a JD D130 5 years ago at Lowe's, at the time they had a special on the 8P 8 cubic ft tilting dump cart. I was thinking at the time that I didn't need the cart but it was included so I took it, and it has turned out to be a really nice thing to have. As far as my D130 all it has ever needed is oil and filter changes, this is my second John Deere, first one bought in 1996, and both have been excellent.

Hello Rick. I am on my 2nd John Deere the first one an LA125 blew its head gasket at 70 hours. the new one is an S240. The only thing is you should change the oil more often than Deere recommends. The Briggs and Stratton engines have a weak spot on the head gasket between the cylinder and the push rod journal.

My LA 125 did the same thing. Very easy fix and only takes a couple of hours, been running great ever since. I almost bought an S240 myself but it is still basically a Dxxx Series with a Kawasaki engine. I went all out and bought the X580, makes the LA and D Series feel like little toys.

The recall includes D105 tractors sold from February 2016 through July 2017. John Deere issued a recall for its D105 tractors, citing possible transmission failures.

Make sure you change the transaxle oil, lots of JD transaxle failures, mine failed at 150 hrs. and now again at around 350.

The new D105's have a General Transmission CT400 CVT sealed transaxle. I just purchased a Husqvarna with a General Transmission RS800 CVT transmission. With the CVT the further you push down on the pedal, the higher gear ratio you get. Pushing all the way down on the pedal gives you maximum speed and minimum torque. By just barely pushing in on the pedal you get maximum torque and minimum speed. If you have a hydrostatic transmission changing the transaxle oil is important. I'm pretty sure you have a CVT NOT a hydrostatic transaxle. You can tell by looking at the back. General Transmission's CVTs transaxles are in a black polymer case. You can look at your rear wheels to tell. If it is silver metal color, then you probably have a K46 hydrostatic transaxle.

Just know that this particular model is going to crap out on you at some point, more specifically the transmission. The transmissions are made entirely of plastic and it is going to fail. I had a D105; John deere did a recall on the transmissions because they knew that they were flawed by design. My local Deere dealer replaced the transmission with a new one and it failed right at 8 hours of use. The tractor had less than 20 hours on it. John Deere refused to fix it; a new transmission costs nearly $500. I sold it at a loss of about $800. The "D" and "E" series of lawn tractors are garbage and John Deere knows it. They sell them to compete with other low-end mowers on the market primarily at Lowes and Home Depot, and Deere will not take care of or support this demographic of customers. I was told this by my local John Deere dealer, and I know from my own experience dealing with John Deere.
