SAVING A BLOWN UP JOHN DEERE TRACTOR
#repair #mechanic #lawnmower
I purchased a John Deere lawn tractor that has engine issues. Lets find out what is wrong with the mower, and get it fixed. The machine is a D110 with a Briggs and Stratton engine 19hp.

Ha. When I first started watching I was thinking oil caused it to crap out. Thanks for the video. What do people think “my car goes 3500 miles, why wouldn’t my mower?”
Easley $1000 to $1200 Great content, I was looking for some info on my lawn tractor and stumbled onto your videos. Great stuff. Dana

Awesome! Thank you! I hope it helped and really appreciate the support.
Great video on this repair. In my area $800-$1200 all day long. Thanks for sharing
I've got news for you. You are a Pro, no longer an amateur. If you have worked on a bunch of different gas powered equipment and you have a bunch more in your yard, you are an absolute Pro. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 keep up the good work 😊👍🏿

Great video. I’d say around my area $1200-15000 easy!!! Great job
I love that you do this and I am not hating in anyway and I don’t mean any offense by this but I work as a technician for a John Deere dealership and these mowers are not great they are just as good as the craftsman and others you see in big box stores if you want to get real John Deere quality you need to get the X 300 series because these are actually John Deere not an off brand Chinese mowers and if you buy a new one at least get one with the v-twin. Thank you for reading but if you ever have any questions on fixing anything just let me know I do this professionally and plan on moving to bigger tractors like 3033r and up
It is a very nice tractor. Here in TN no more hours it has. It would easily bring 7 to 8 hundred dollars. Great job and thank you for this video 👍

Awesome. Thank you for stopping by and for the input.
Once your in reverse with blades going you can release that yellow botton and keep cutting in reverse, you dont need to hold it the entire time your reversing , only need to hold until your reversing then release ...hope this helps
Really great work on this, keep doing what you're doing. It's enjoyable to watch!

Great videos. I had a Snapper rear engine Forest Gump type mower that I got free at the curb around 1990. It had a 10 horse Briggs and a 30 inch cut. Wore out two engines, went to a 12 horse Briggs from another free junk mower, then to a 14.5 OHV Briggs from a junk mower i bought for $20 at a garge sale. Loved this mower and replace every bushing, belt and clutch disk several times over the years. These were so well built they could last forever if you work on them. Finally in 2021, I had to let her go. I bought a cheap Cub Cadet which still runs to this day. The old Snapper went to the curb where it came from. I subscribed, and will watch what you do. Thanks!

I had a Snapper one 30 inch blade, best cut I've ever seen.
In middle Tennessee 1200 $ all day long...looks REEEAL NICE
That's why I check the oil each time before starting the engine as these Briggs Intek engines like a little bit of oil.
Great Video!
Goddaughter mate, in Australia where I live a D110 goes for about 2.5 to 3k and are highly sort after. I’ve got one and I’ve only done a head gasket once and no other issues 😊

Cosmetics are key, in our society today, even in used lawnmowers. I like to make them look really good as well as mechanical reliability. Something to pass along. On the decks, I use a product called Corroseal Water-Based Rust Converter . It chemically diffuses the progression of rust. Best product i have found. No harsh smell, easy cleanup and you can paint over it. Just use a chip brush and then clean brush and container with water and you can reuse :) Thanks again for sharing. Wish I had the time to do a channel. @@freedommowers420

Great video Alex! I have seen a few low hour box store John Deere machines with engine issues. I had an E100 (plastic trans) with 80 hours with a compression release issue earlier this year. That D110 should bring you good money! Hopefully around $1k.

@@Huntersprojects I sold an L120 in good condition at the beginning of this year for $800. I think it had similar hours. The L130 is basically the same mower except yours has a Kohler instead of a Briggs V-twin.
FYI. Once you start moving in reverse, you can let go of the button. You do not need to hold it down while going in reverse.
Only 130 hrs. And a blown engine seen other channels talking about those particular Briggs engines breaking connecting rod but the owner let it get way to low in oil too

Alex ,you are finding some super nice tractors! Deeres sell super good here and i would ask $1200-$1400 for that tractor. Its sad that the engine only lasted 130 hours, but its all about how well its maintained. What was the reason you had to swap coils? I always look forward to your videos my friend!

Yea I was thinking 1,000-1,200 for price range. I’m trying to get rid of them quick at this point since the season is slowing down. Your the man Roger. I always love seeing your comments and support. I had taken the coil off that engine a while back for another engine that needed one. I forgot I robbed it 🤣
What kind of rocket scientist thought about mounting a hot muffler right underneath the cylinder head on an air cooled engine ? Did they want it to burn up or overheat on purpose ,so you will buy another one ? Now if i could just find a complete used LA 105 hood for my mower id be a happy camper but the flea bay sellers dont want to ship these things to Canada for some reason even though your paying up front in full with your visa card .......go figure
