I just bought one of these for my first riding mower I’ve ever had. So literally zero experience with mowers or snowblowers and I had it installed in less than 30 minutes…. Maybe it’s not the product is all I’m saying.
I installed one of these on a 2005 L120 with the electric PTO. It's now a dedicated snow blower and will never go back to a mower. I fabricated an extra support bracket to the chute control, the one bolt hold down was too flimsy. I put chains and rear weights on it as well. One complaint is the raise and lower arm. When snow builds up on the blower housing, it requires 2 hands to raise and lower the blower, stronger lift springs might be needed. I'll be installing a 4 inch electric actuator to solve this problem. The instructions were a bit vague but I took my time and put it together over the summer. So far I broke 2 shear bolts this year when I hit some icy snow and no other problems. It works for me!
Was it hard to fit to L120? I have a LA175 but JD says this mount is for 2014 or newer. I'd consider changing to this mount, can you leave the front part on and still fit the mower deck on? I know I'd still have to remove the drive belt module...
I have 2 videos on my channel. John Deere L120 Snow Blower and John Deere L120 Snow Blower 2 I set the tractor up as a dedicated snow blower and will never go back to a grass cutter This might help.@@patrickcapp8198
Lots of comments on how hard this is. Took me maybe two hours for assembly and install, but over an hour of that was just finding the bits and assembling them. It’s not going to be that hard to take on and off now.
Thanks for this. So complicated and beyond what I'm willing to do. Convinced me to NOT get a JD Tractor and snow blower. I'll stick to my regular snow blower and mower setup.
If you think this one sucks, you should see the install for the Cub Cadet 3-stage blower. I looked this up to see if the JD was easier. It is, but still not simple or easy.
Dude what are you talking about too complicated? It’s 6 bolts and a couple clips. This is a comprehensive video covered in 4 minutes. The operations of the machine itself are more complicated to figure out than this install
And watch out for a twist in the belt. It won't seat correctly into the pulley at the pulley module. It's hard to spot if you're not experienced with the problem. I had to have a JD mechanic come out....this was after I pulled the module and took it to the dealer who sold me the blower. Even they missed it since it was not installed. They also found the wrong return spring on the module. I have my concerns with quality control at John Deere.

Does John Deere have a video for the install of the weather enclosure for the 100 series tractors? Seems a lot of people would find this helpful as it goes hand in hand with the snow blower attachment.
I bought 44 inch snow blower for my John Deere s130 only to find out that it would burn up my transmission according to the expert at the John Deere store.
What did you do with your blower. When you bought this, did it come with all the parts shown in this youtube video? I am missing the belt drive module and was wondering if you got one with your new purchase. Bill
Just spent 10 grand on a new tractor and bought the 44 inch blower for my D140 now it says I need additional brackets thought the kit was complete before I spend more money John Deere can come take it all back

@@kokokyoushi - Removing or installing the mower deck takes all of 5 minutes. I'm not sure what all the fuss and whining is about, but it is obviously coming from people that don't have one. This snow blower really is a breeze to install and I can do mine in about 30 minutes or so. Uncrating it and assembly when you first get it will add some time to that, but once that's done, you're good to go. This is a reasonably priced unit ($1,400) for what it's capable of. Someone mentioned engineering a drive hook-up. As someone that already owns a Kubota (with the optional mid PTO), I can tell you that that is an EXPENSIVE ad on, not to mention the 6k cost for the snow blower, which also must have a sub-frame installed every year just as this was.

Fiddled around and figured out that you have to manually pull to large black tension spring on right side of pulley assembly to loosen enough slack on the belt to slide it off the PTO. For both installation and removal this is a pretty big step to omit!
I was able to do mostly everything BUT the driver belt! I do not see when or how to put the belt around the pulley right under the tractor - not the one in the snowblower housing, nor the two in the blower deck that goes underneath the tractor. None of the pulleys can move and I am weak so I don't think pulling the belt works for me. I am debating un-bolting the driver module and redo it. Anyone that could help SOS? I have 17-18 inches of snow blocking my 200-ft driveway and I am house trapped right now. Thanks.

@@JohnDeere Yes, that was exactly what I was referring to from my physical manual book, but the wording with little to no figure it was not as easy as the video (not that the illustrations in the manual book help, I think they are poorly drawn). It is also the you-know-it-or-you-don't kind of thing, so it is easy now. I am also having issues with really hard if not impossible to squeeze the lift handle to raise/ drop the snowblower (small Asian woman with smaller hand) so I had to operate it with the snowblower on the ground 100% of the time, which was super inefficient, and I would love to see more explanation on the tension of that part. I also found from UA-cam that some people install electric winch for about $150 diy so I think that would be a good solution for me compared to doing it manually.
Did you get your belt drive module figured out? I'm looking for that module if you might know where I could find one. Our son bought this package deal from Lowes several years ago, but never used the snow blower set up and now we find the belt drive module not in the package. What a pain.

Was wondering if you bought this 44 inch snow blower? Did it come with all the parts shown in the JD video? Mine is missing the belt drive module and you can;t just get that part, but have to buy all the individual pieces that make up this module and assemble them. Cost is $1700 Canadian to buy all the parts. Wondering if you got the belt drive module as shown in video. Bill
so after we bought the snow blower from home depot, not only was it missing a couple of bolts the handle was broken during shipping and home depot and local dealer is blaming each other. got to the drive belt module install and my unit does not have the holes for the the unit to bolt into , Nice.....as I am reading the instructions in fine print it says if your frame doesn't have the holes you will need a left and right bracket which are sold individually , $140 cad each plus taxes. I have a D140 and the description is for ALL 100 models, that is incorrect. buyer beware. tractor purchased in 2017 and now I have to decide do I drill the holes or send unit back. don't buy anything for your john deere unless you 100% it will fit.

hello Tazzman. Did you solve this dilemma with your snow blower. My son bought an E170 4 years ago and never used the snow blower attachment.

Did you ever get your snow blower working properly. Ours came without the belt drive module, unfortunately that was several years ago and we haven't wanted to blow snow until this winter and no belt module. I'm trying to find one. Thanks for any comments, Bill
@@cptnbillyjohnstone510 Yes i did find a belt guide from john deer about 50.00 bucks as i remember. it,s for the front pulley it,s a big u bolt about 8 inches long and 1/4 in thick that just keeps the belt from coming off. it,s been a long time and i don,t recall how i got the part number, not sure what the belt module is your talking about
The belt module is the metal frame that hangs under the tractor and has 2 pulleys that get your power from the tractor to the snow blower. We never got it when we bought the tractor several years ago and have never tried to blow snow until this winter and no belt drive, so no go. Where are you located? I'm in Winnipeg if you have any ideas on where to find this module. Bill@@jeffh.9620
There’s more to the belt drive module that should have been covered buying one of these I can say the directions are terrible and none of the bags I received indicated what hardware went where luckily my neighbor gave me a hand
I have a 2015 JD X324 all wheel steer. The people at JD that designed the deck with J-Bolts have NEVER tried to put a deck on or take it off. They should have been working in a candy store. Stupid people. The same with the bagger. My last JD. I'll find a K-Mart store and get a better product.
i just bought a 160 and all the snowblower equip. well im 4.5 hours with 2 people into it and im just about halfway with assembly. the instructions are terrible the parts barely fit together and none of the hardware is labeled. 1 more day than its all going back!!!!

@@JohnDeere what im looking for? are you a bot? i bought what i was looking for and it doesnt work. i assembled it and it ran for an hour now the tractor is dead and the tractor itself was assembled by john deere. i guess what im looking for is the hole in my head that made me think john deere was still quality
This is my first riding mower so no experience with any mowers or snowblowers ever and I installed mine by myself in less than 30 minutes in a very dimly lit garage with main source of light being a flashlight. Just saying, it may not be the product if it took you and another person several hours to put like 6 bolts in…. As far as quality I can’t speak on yet. But installation was crazy easy.
Was wondering if you ever got that snow blower working? I can't finish mine because there was no belt drive module in the package my son got. Trying to locate one of those and that is another crazy world trying to deal with John Deere. My son bought this unit from Lowes and never needed the snow blower, so we didn't discover the missing part until 4 years later, and of course no one has it now. Any chance you might know of a place to get that belt drive module? Bill
Disappointed to say the least. This was the first lawn tractor I ever (E-180) snowblower attachment has the worst instruction manual I've ever seen, the handle to raise the blower is awkward and difficult to lift. I'll never buy another one.
By the time you assemble this thing, winter is over.
I bought the system in summer 2018 and here I am winter 2022 still trying to figure the snowblower out... I gave up every year I tried...

Thanks for asking, Craig. The Snow Blower attachment featured in this video (BM26888) is only compatible with our 100 Series and S240 Lawn Tractors. You may be able to locate the Snow Blower attachment compatible with your unit by searching your model number in our online Parts Catalog here: bit.ly/36O6jOD. The Snow Blower attachment compatible with your X300 Series Lawn Tractor may vary depending on the model, model year, deck size, and serial number break, so we recommend reaching out to your local dealer to confirm the correct Snow Blower before purchasing. If needed, you can find their contact information here: bit.ly/2WVxSB5.
Will this attachment fit an e100?

We recommend contacting your local dealer if you need assistance locating and ordering parts for your unit. If needed, you can find your local dealer at Deere.com/Dealer. We hope this helps.

How do I release the belt tension when removing the blower attachment? I have an E170 with electric PTO. Thanks.
Fiddled around and figured out that you have to manually pull to large black tension spring on right side of pulley assembly to loosen enough slack on the belt to slide it off the PTO. For both installation and removal this is a pretty big step to omit!
I was able to do mostly everything BUT the driver belt! I do not see when or how to put the belt around the pulley right under the tractor - not the one in the snowblower housing, nor the two in the blower deck that goes underneath the tractor. None of the pulleys can move and I am weak so I don't think pulling the belt works for me. I am debating un-bolting the driver module and redo it. Anyone that could help SOS? I have 17-18 inches of snow blocking my 200-ft driveway and I am house trapped right now. Thanks.
I got it from the manual, from the right side there is a tension release arm that could move. The video failed to show this.
Thanks for the feedback, Trang Thai! Please check Section 30 - Installing - Installing Belt Drive Module in the Operator's Manual for the 44 Inch Snow Blower here: bit.ly/3IdX4t9. If this does not help, your local dealer would be another resource for assistance with installing attachments. Your nearest dealer can be located using bit.ly/3rqTCVj. We hope this clears up the installation process.
@@JohnDeere Yes, that was exactly what I was referring to from my physical manual book, but the wording with little to no figure it was not as easy as the video (not that the illustrations in the manual book help, I think they are poorly drawn). It is also the you-know-it-or-you-don't kind of thing, so it is easy now. I am also having issues with really hard if not impossible to squeeze the lift handle to raise/ drop the snowblower (small Asian woman with smaller hand) so I had to operate it with the snowblower on the ground 100% of the time, which was super inefficient, and I would love to see more explanation on the tension of that part. I also found from UA-cam that some people install electric winch for about $150 diy so I think that would be a good solution for me compared to doing it manually.
Did you get your belt drive module figured out? I'm looking for that module if you might know where I could find one. Our son bought this package deal from Lowes several years ago, but never used the snow blower set up and now we find the belt drive module not in the package. What a pain.
What is the overall width and length of this lawn tractor with the snow blower attached?
Thanks for the question, Robphoto37. The width of the S100 Series Lawn Tractors with the Snow Blower attached is 46.6-in and the length with the suitcase weights is 105.7-in. For more information we recommend contacting your local dealer. You can find your local dealer here: Deere.com/Dealer.
@@JohnDeere I have but nobody got back to me. Thanks for the info
Anyone have a tip for removing the metal bumper? The clips are locking it in and preventing removal.
Andy, your local John Deere dealer is your best resource for technical questions like this one. You can find your closest dealer here: bit.ly/33YYpjT.
Ya push the clips in with a screwdriver after you pull the pin and slide it out.
Josh Frentzel Finally managed it. Thanks mate.
@@andygoggin4762 I also struggled with the bumper longer than I expected :)
Trang Thai it sure wasn’t as simple as the robot in the video made it look. Mrs. Champ pitched in and the bumper slid right out. Hard to do solo!
Don't see why this simple attachment should cost more than the tractor.
How much all tractor lawn and snowblower?
Peter, thanks for your interest. Please contact your local John Deere dealership for pricing information as prices are set by our individual dealers. If needed, you can find your local dealer here: bit.ly/2PX9wng.
dont get it, you will regret it
Oooof that looks like a massive pain
Is that front hitch included with the snowblower or do you have to buy thay separate too??
Thanks for the question, Steve. The 44 in. 100 Series Snow Blower comes equipped with everything you need to install the attachment to your unit. We recommend consulting your local John Deere dealer for further questions regarding attachments for your unit. If needed, you can find your local dealer at Deere.com/Dealer. We hope this helps!
Tire chains and weights are separate but necessary.

by the quality if mine id say at the dollar store
No instructions on how to attach it to the pto
Thanks for reaching out, Edward. For full installation instructions, including how to attach to the PTO, we recommend taking a look at "Section 30 - Installing" in the attachment's Operator's Manual here: bit.ly/33CXF3v.
@@JohnDeere Error at the moment!

Was wondering if you bought this 44 inch snow blower? Did it come with all the parts shown in the JD video? Mine is missing the belt drive module and you can;t just get that part, but have to buy all the individual pieces that make up this module and assemble them. Cost is $1700 Canadian to buy all the parts. Wondering if you got the belt drive module as shown in video. Bill
@@cptnbillyjohnstone510 I havent bought it yet
Mine came with it, but factory installed the belt incorrectly
i can fig it out but sum may not, you did not show installing the belt on the pto drive pulley .
This is exactly what I am here trying to figure out. The instructions in the manual are terrible!! Did you figure it out
HI is John working today?
yes
nope, only here to steal money not work. mine is 3 days old and dead in the driveway
so after we bought the snow blower from home depot, not only was it missing a couple of bolts the handle was broken during shipping and home depot and local dealer is blaming each other.
got to the drive belt module install and my unit does not have the holes for the the unit to bolt into , Nice.....as I am reading the instructions in fine print it says if your frame doesn't have the holes you will need a left and right bracket which are sold individually , $140 cad each plus taxes.
I have a D140 and the description is for ALL 100 models, that is incorrect.
buyer beware.
tractor purchased in 2017 and now I have to decide do I drill the holes or send unit back.
don't buy anything for your john deere unless you 100% it will fit.

hello Tazzman. Did you solve this dilemma with your snow blower. My son bought an E170 4 years ago and never used the snow blower attachment. I wanted to use it this winter, but he never received the belt drive module in his package, so JD tells me now that they don't make that part, you have to buy every individual piece and assemble your own belt drive module. I am desparately searching for a belt drive module, if you have any ideas on where I might find one. Thanks for your time.@@JohnDeere

we ended up returning it and purchased a mahindra Emax 20 with a bunch of addons....lawn tractor still working as it should .@@cptnbillyjohnstone510
Mine does not have that front pulley u bolt guide and can,t find where to buy one. Called JD and they had no idea just said all the parts should be there and had no part number. belt comes off about every 40 ft. It,s in the video JD
We're sorry to hear that you had this experience with your snow blower attachment, Jeff. Please give the John Deere Enterprise Contact Center a call at 1-800-537-8233 for further assistance with your missing parts. You can also speak with your local John Deere dealership about any missing parts. If needed, you can find your local dealer at Deere.com/Dealer.
Did you ever get your snow blower working properly. Ours came without the belt drive module, unfortunately that was several years ago and we haven't wanted to blow snow until this winter and no belt module. I'm trying to find one. Thanks for any comments, Bill
@@cptnbillyjohnstone510 Yes i did find a belt guide from john deer about 50.00 bucks as i remember. it,s for the front pulley it,s a big u bolt about 8 inches long and 1/4 in thick that just keeps the belt from coming off. it,s been a long time and i don,t recall how i got the part number, not sure what the belt module is your talking about
The belt module is the metal frame that hangs under the tractor and has 2 pulleys that get your power from the tractor to the snow blower. We never got it when we bought the tractor several years ago and have never tried to blow snow until this winter and no belt drive, so no go. Where are you located? I'm in Winnipeg if you have any ideas on where to find this module. Bill@@jeffh.9620
There’s more to the belt drive module that should have been covered buying one of these I can say the directions are terrible and none of the bags I received indicated what hardware went where luckily my neighbor gave me a hand
What a pain!
So we cannot have both mower and snow blower, we need to switch, install and reinstall. I would rather keep my 400$ snow removal contract
I have a 2015 JD X324 all wheel steer. The people at JD that designed the deck with J-Bolts have NEVER tried to put a deck on or take it off. They should have been working in a candy store. Stupid people. The same with the bagger. My last JD. I'll find a K-Mart store and get a better product.
Deere over complicates, attachments i own 3 different models and yet my 73 wheelhorse is so much easier
i just bought a 160 and all the snowblower equip. well im 4.5 hours with 2 people into it and im just about halfway with assembly. the instructions are terrible the parts barely fit together and none of the hardware is labeled. 1 more day than its all going back!!!!
We're so sorry to hear that you have been experiencing difficulty assembling the snow blower equipment for your unit. Your local John Deere dealer may be able to provide some guidance for you. If needed, you can find your closest dealer at Deere.com/Dealer. Simply enter your location and then select what type of equipment you are looking for. We hope this helps.
@@JohnDeere what im looking for? are you a bot? i bought what i was looking for and it doesnt work. i assembled it and it ran for an hour now the tractor is dead and the tractor itself was assembled by john deere. i guess what im looking for is the hole in my head that made me think john deere was still quality
This is my first riding mower so no experience with any mowers or snowblowers ever and I installed mine by myself in less than 30 minutes in a very dimly lit garage with main source of light being a flashlight. Just saying, it may not be the product if it took you and another person several hours to put like 6 bolts in….
As far as quality I can’t speak on yet. But installation was crazy easy.
Was wondering if you ever got that snow blower working? I can't finish mine because there was no belt drive module in the package my son got. Trying to locate one of those and that is another crazy world trying to deal with John Deere. My son bought this unit from Lowes and never needed the snow blower, so we didn't discover the missing part until 4 years later, and of course no one has it now. Any chance you might know of a place to get that belt drive module? Bill
i returned the whole unit and bought directly from a john deere dealership@@cptnbillyjohnstone510
Disappointed to say the least. This was the first lawn tractor I ever (E-180) snowblower attachment has the worst instruction manual I've ever seen, the handle to raise the blower is awkward and difficult to lift. I'll never buy another one.
this is too much work to put on and take off twice a year.
First
This is hilariously too much effort.
I’m tired just watching this…
Completely useless. You never show how the drive belts are aligned around the the idler pulleys etc.
Do not buy this blower better options for the money
Dont buy a John Deere everything has become more complicated and cheap had 3 no more
