I imagine it would be somewhat different in the mounting and connection, but it could probably be made to work if you were creative. I’ve never tried it on one of those.

Very good points.

Thanks!

It’s a 16hp Yanmar Diesel

I live in Georgia so unfortunately I don’t have one. Sorry about that!

Mine has 2,800. I agree!

They’re probably is. It was a little easier on the 330 that had single brakes, because the brake rod runs all the way through the frame. It could be done it would just be a little bit more work.

Mine is still going strong. Happy with it so far. That’s less than I paid for mine so it sounds fair with attachments. Assuming it has a loader?

The loader crossbar does not interfere with the deck at all.

@@LukesJohnDeereGaragegood to know! I’m lookin hard for a used 45

Not an easy search! I’ll keep an eye out!

@@LukesJohnDeereGarage I've found one about 5 hrs away for $4k - not sure I'm ready to bite that bullet yet!

I paid $3500 for mine plus another $750 to get it shipped back a few years ago when I bought it. If you can get it for $3500 you would be doing pretty well.

I ordered the diverter for the John Deere H120 loader I believe. Thanks!

Thanks man! See you at IBMA.

I believe this one was white. It was for a customer. Thanks.

Thanks!!

Thanks for watching!

Yes- they are a little less common but they are out there! Nice machines and great to mow with.

I have a nice 445. No mower deck with it though.

You probably don’t need the shocks with the heavy duty springs. I’m not sure about longer ones though. I don’t think I’ve ever put them on with the HD springs.

Thanks for letting me know. I will definitely go back to the satisfied buyer of this cart from a year ago and remove them. That was a close call.

@@LukesJohnDeereGarage Next time bust out the drill. Lazy AF 😂

I’ve never tried modifying them. That may help.

Thanks for the comment! When the diverter is deactivated, it blocks or isolates that hydraulic circuit from the system. So if you grab a log in the grapple and then let go of the diverter control, the hydraulic pressure in the diverter circuit retains itself. At least long enough to carry a load across the yard and still have full hydraulic pressure for the lift and curl. Closing or opening the grapple at the same time as lifting or lowering is about the same as curling while lifting.

One of the 1” lift blocks they sell on Amazon for the front leaf spring is exactly what you need. amzn.to/45CWJ06

@@LukesJohnDeereGarage Would it give me a rough ride or should I just go down to 10” wheels? I’m going to add the leaf springs you recommend in this video for when we have adult passengers riding in the back so the cart doesn’t squat.

@@chrisginoc The lift block alone won't change the ride quality. The HD springs will stiffen the ride in the back a good bit though. But with adults in the back it's almost a must. With the weight of a rear seat plus 3 or four people on the cart, the stock springs don't usually do well.

The colors are different on each kit, but some of the wires are not used.

The X495 is one of my favorites. Much more comfortable than the older 4X5 series, quieter, and plenty of power to spare. The only zero turn that is as fun to mow with as a diesel garden tractor is a diesel zero return in my opinion. 🤣 That’s why I got the John Deere 997.

@@LukesJohnDeereGarage those 997’s are behemoths!!..and super good mowers!..they’re only worth buying if they come with the 72” deck…and it could easily handle an 84” deck!..a real mowing machine!..I almost bought a Kubota z1511 but it has emissions and they were known for having issues so I passed on it but I would grab a JD 997 or a Kubota 326 or 331 with a 72” deck in a heartbeat!!..the other holy grail tractor is the JD x595 which is the 4WD version of the x495…only x series that you could select 2WD or 4WD…

@MrMan5014 yeah. I had an X595 for a while. The early X748, as well as the X575 and X585 were selectable as well.

@@LukesJohnDeereGarage I almost bought an x749 just before I bought my x495 and I believe it was not selectable 4wd…I almost bought a brand new x758 but my salesman told me they are great but because of the full time hydraulic 4wd, it puts a great deal of strain needlessly on the engine and they’re hard on fuel compared to the 2WD versions so I passed on the new one and looked for a used one…I’m actually looking at an x754 AWS with 700 hrs on it and I may pick that one up!

@@LukesJohnDeereGarage what did you think of the x595?…I’m super pleased with my x495…it has about 970 hours on it and it’s super tight!..who ever had it took super good care of it and I paid good money for it but it was worth it!..I know where there is a 500 hr 455 for sale but he wants huge money for it!

One of the hangers that holds the deck is threaded and adjustable.

I’d say the whole process takes about an hour. Maybe slightly more if it’s your first time. Thanks for watching!

Mine is sold. How’s the manual steering on the 330 with all that weight in front? I love a 330.

@@LukesJohnDeereGarage when your moving it's not bad. I have 2-330's one with a hydraulic tiller and this other one I just mounted 44 loader on yesterday. Is yours still for sale?

Sorry I see yours sold

@nicklambertson4561 no the 44 loader and 430 sold to someone all the way out in North Dakota (I’m in Georgia.) I have a 318 and a 425 for sale, and a 322 as well I’ll be listing soon.

They are pretty stiff. For riding alone, I wouldn’t recommend them. With a backseat with two or three people on it though it’s usually necessary.

@LukesJohnDeereGarage I deflated my tires to 10 psi and it helped but still on the fence. I have 23" street tires with 12" wheels. I do have a rear seat but almost never have anyone ride on it so may change them back.

You probably need new shock absorbers too. I had a crazy amount of bounce after replacing the leaf springs to 3xheavy duty. Fixed the issue when the shock absorbers came in.

Yep! Done it on several. Usually needs to be done by 1500 hrs. Not too hard and can be done without pulling the engine if needed. Mine has the larger tires too.

@@LukesJohnDeereGarage did it to mine. Went to about 1050 hours. Dident pull engine either, good running machine.
