John Deere D140 - Riding Mower Spring Service
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 сер 2024
- Today we do what we should have done in the fall and that is clean and service the John Deere D140, now the E140. We pull the deck out, clean, and pressure wash, sharpen the blades, then change the air filter, spark plugs, fuel filter and do an oil change. Fairly simple process and well worth it to learn how to do yourself
Excellent "How To" video. I just bought a used D140 and did the maintenance myself to insure that it was completed. Thanks, you saved me a lot of money.
Happy to help. If it’s your first time doing it it can be a bit intimidating but it’s really not hard once you’ve done it once
Great video. Lots of good info. I just bought a used D140. Pretty sure the blades need replacing so ordered more. Will do this job when they come in. One point I saw in another similar video was that the washers for the blade nuts are domed, that is not flat (on the 2016 model). The concave side goes up, that is against the blade.
Excellent video. It's straight to the point with good camera angles. Thanks!
Glad you found it helpful
That was a GREAT Video!!! The camera angles and lighting were perfect and well explained...
Thanks Glenn, glad you enjoyed it. Hope it helped
This is great they sell this DIY kit, so you don't need to chase the parts! Thanks for sharing!
Pay 4 times for this kit verses going and getting 2 plugs an a/f. f/f and 2 quarts of oil? John Deere brand.
Love the vise grips to shut off fuel line idea. Good farming mechanic move. Showing the bayonet style lock on the drain plug saved me from wrecking one to get it off, I'm sure. This is as good a servicing video as I've seen. Nice work
An overlooked maintenance item is cleaning the cooling fins on the motor.
Neighbor just gave me his old d140 so you just gave me a quick heads up on a lot of the simple maintenance task on this machine. Use to my old 425 and there are quite a few different ways this model is put together. Thanks.👍
Good one Adam, i just did the same on my LA125 for its winter hibination. One suggestion, when you sharpen the blades put a nail through the bolt hole and put it in a vice to see if the blade is balanced, the side that drops down needs a bit more material removed, do it until it sits evenly on the nail.
in this video it looks like you put your blades back on upside down like i did lol .... great stuff my dude
Nice job Adam on showing how owners can save money and learn about there machine in the process. I few items I would like to add to further enhance your maintenance...
1. Remove engine blower housing. Engine manufacturers have made this a lot easier nowadays. Reason being...so it gets done. What this task will allow you to do is clean out the engine cooling fins. This should be done at least annually. Especially with the v twin B&S engines because they are the king of dropping valve guides and bending pushrods. Most of the time when I have to do a valve job on these BS engines its because the grass has built up in and around the head cooling fins which leads to the head overheating and expanding which then loosens up the guide and hence my repair. You will have to cover carb air intake after housing is removed before you start cleaning for which I use a bag and a zip tie or tape.
2. Wash engine compartment down. This can be done too when the blower housing is removed. I recommend just normal well pressure. Get that dirt and grass out of there. If it is dry compressed air will work but if its oily/wet water and a brush work better. If you have a hot water pressure washer set on low works best.
3. Clean/blow out/off transmission. Is this a hydro unit? This task involves (same as engine) cleaning off/out the cooling fins on trans case. Grass gets built up on the transmission leading to a decrease in cooling efficiency from trans cooling fan which is located on top of the input shaft and pulley for transmission. One thing I have to knock JD on is their placement of the fuel tank on these models. Other manufacturers place the fuel tank in the engine compartment and battery under the seat. With this setup you can remove the battery and tray and then have direct access to the transmission for a good cleaning. Soo.. what you’ll have to do is access it from the bottom front (with deck off works best) with compressed air or garden hose to clean.
Been missing you Adam. How’s the wife doing. When is she due? Take care man. I’m Looking forward to the splitter wars.
I have the same d140, i have done the deck thing dozens of times. I bought a extra set of blades, that way one set is always sharp. Thanks for sharing.
I should get a 2nd set of blades. That’s a good idea thanks
Excellent how to video . These videos can help out many people to do their own maintenance . I would have ran the engine for a bit to fill the oil filter and then check the oil one last time . I'm sure you did this but didn't show it . That John Deere looks very easy to work on . Every thing is right there out in the open .
Great video. I used your tips and completed my PM today. Excellent information, thanks for the effort of putting this together!
Glad to know you have a John Deere in the stable. Great job on the video I’m going to pretend I did all the maintenance you did on my mower. Take care brother
Haha as long as she runs
I always open the new jug of oil and dip my finger in that instead of old oil because "not likely" but you could get a piece of sand or something that could affect the seal.
Very true Adam, be kind to your equipment and it'll be kind to you. Routine maintenance assures longevity of your tractor.
Yard equipment abuse is rampant. Hardly anyone takes care of their stuff. They fire it up and when they're done they let gravity take over. When it quits firing up they go buy a new one. You can semi get away with it on some stuff but other stuff (especially a chain saw) you can't do that. Glad you're stressing the maintenance side, Adam. Next up, show your subscribers how to do maintenance on a chainsaw. Blade sharpening, tightening, raker filing, bar n sprocket maintenance, long term storage prep, etc.. You do nice work on these videos and inspire folks to git-r-done so it would be useful footage to show your subscribers.
Your Plug looked like it was getting the Best Burn that it could have . oil fouling the porcelain be black and the electrode be black and you see the oil burnt like glue. Your Plug was fine I power tune the Plug is your best way to tell the engine performance , good video none the less . nothing wrong with replacing plugs when doing your oil and air filter .
Thank you so much for the video. It was perfect as I am learning to do this myself
When you reinstall your deck face your cotterpins backwards cause most of the time you drive forward and if you're driving forward and your pins are facing forward there's a chance they can pop out so always face them backwards
Great video thank you!
Great!! Thanks for the video it helped me change the oil and remove the oil filter replacing it.
Excellent tutorial. Thank you!
@Seather great point, I pull my shrouds off once and year to make sure there isn't a ton of debris in there. Also make sure the transaxle cooling fins and fan are clean and operating.
Excellent video, thanks for sharing.
thanks. moving to a s130, after having a 169 cub for years...with barely and work done to it. I know these Newer tractors are throwaways (?lol) compared to the old type tractors...but will be keeping up the maintenance on them and see how it goes.
Thank you!! I have not done this type of maintenance on my JD D140 but you make it look easy enough for me to do myself! Except for the blade sharpening…don’t have the tool or knowledge on that,
You can use a 5 inch diamter sanding disk and a single sheet of stick'um sand paper in 120 grit. Attach the disk with the paper on it to a cordless drill and simply give it a new edge. You'll be able to see the old edge plenty good and it will be easy to follow. Keep sanding until the edge is defined and sharp. This is how I do mine and its by far the easiest and most convenient way to do it. Only takes about 30 seconds per end.
Nice video, thanks for posting it.
No sir used clean fresh oil to coat the gasket on filter
Good Video! Helps me as a newb!
Nice video but at 4:07🙃 I see your blades are upside-down as your impacting them on. 😀
Great helping video
great video congratulations you are very good
I need to do this as well because our grass already needs to be mowed. Would have done it this weekend but we’ve apparently entered monsoon season. Not ready for the heat, the storms, or the mowing.
Man you hate the heat haha. Sounds like you need to move. I hate the heat too. I’d prefer 12” of snow and 15 degree weather than 90 degrees and 90% humidity
Hometown Acres I sure do! I need to move about 1,000 miles north. I haven’t always been this way but as I get older, I hate the heat more. My dad says as he gets older, he likes the heat more. I do love Oklahoma but I’d like to see some winter every now and then!
You might check your blades it looked like you put them on upside down the end veins need to be in the upwards direction. That's what causes ur suction
I think you may be right. Thanks for catching that before I get out there and wonder why it’s not cutting. The power of UA-cam. Getting people to double check your work haha
Andy Schwehn I noticed this too
@@HometownAcres You're not alone. We sharpen our blades every 2 days and we've done it so many times we carry a wrench in the truck.
If you don't do it all the time, it's a common mistake.
Upwards as in facing the top of the deck correct? Just did it today so I’m double checking lol
Great Tutoring
I think you missed greasing the blade spindles while the mower deck was off for cleaning
Were those blades on upside down?
Good information for getting your mower ready for summer. Thanks for sharing with us Adam. How’s your wife doing? Thanks for sharing with us. I hope you caught your oops with your blades.
Hey Fred, she is about 38 weeks right now. Due date is April 1st. She’s hanging in there as best she can. Very uncomfortable and can’t wait to get him out of there haha
It won’t be long and then life begins all over. Make the necessary concessions and be happy with the blessings you both have started. Fred.
Tire pressure 14 psi for front tires. 10 psi for rear tires. According to manual . Thx for video
Great video.....hope ya got the blades flip flopped 👍🤠
Yeah I’ll get them flipped back around
Just for the sake of convenience, I have an extra set of blades, keep them sharp, then just swap them out. Saves time, and life of the blades rather than just one set.
I just bought a 2nd set last week. Funny coincidence haha
When you install your blades your lift goes up and your grass side goes down if you mow your lawn with upside down blades you'll be ripping and tearing your grass apart instead of cutting it and diseases will come in your lawn and that won't be good
Somebody has access to hospital surgery rags... I have a lifetime supply of those. They are awesome !!
Yeah. A friend of a friend haha
Blades were put on upside down. I did that, too.😅
Do you know how to get the blower housing off the D140 to replace the starter? I can't find any videos on how to do that for the d140! I try turning the bolts that seem to hold the plastic housing on but the bolts just keep turning.
Hmm interesting I have the same mower but no plastic side pieces.. Seems like they deleted those annoying pieces fairly quickly. My mower was bought in 2018
Does the hour meter stay on all the time on your mower? It does on mine and I'm wondering if that's normal for this mower.
I’m almost positive you have the blades up side down at 3:55
Thank you for the video and thank you for the (NO BULLSHIT) I'd like to see a video on replacing the belt's. Also I've had Bearings go out And I know that they have zirks to grease the bearings but I've heard in the John Deere that the bearings are sealed therefore there is no point in a zirk Is this true?
I’m not sure on that one. I’ll have to check
good interesting video thanks! A little question and advise:How many hours are on your D140?And i would recommend do not wash your deck wish a power washer because they might get damaged.
Nice...Thanks! Like you I didn't get to this last fall and need to do just what you did. I have the D130 so this will be a great reference to follow. Did you order that kit online? Wonder what it would price out as just picking up individual parts from local supply store.
Lot of similarities in our equipment choices haha. Commercial splitter, almost identical riding mowers and tractors. And yeah I did order the kit online. I think I went to John Deere website to see which one I needed and then either ordered it from them or maybe got it on amazon. I can’t remember. I bought it in the fall and didn’t do it til now
I can’t remember if it was $40 or $50 for everything so it wasn’t too bad
Take your blades off then scrape your deck so you have free movement
I want to know what kind of grass is that and what care do you do to it ,loll... Nice
I have the same mower, what snowblower attachment should I get. an or is it worth getting one??
I think you forgot the grease fittings.
You put the blades back on upside down.
Did you mow already this year or is that old footage?
The mowing footage is from last year
Great to know it was shot last fall! I was getting depressed here with all the snow we still have!
You forgot to grease the front axles and deck pulleys
Is there a way to sharpen blade without dropping the mower deck? I have a 2005 L100.
They have blade sharpening wheels that go on a cordless drill. If you tipped your tractor up and could get under neath the deck you could try that. But in my opinion you could do a much better job and it’s easier to drop the deck
@@HometownAcres thanks, I'm learning to do more myself!
Yes, set the deck to the highest position(4").Then I just jack up the mower or use auto ramps to get access to the blades. Clamp a short section of 2x4 to stop the blade from moving and use a ratchet or impact tool to remove the blades.
Did you gap the spark plug?
❤👍 Serbia
Nice job on this video. You didn't check the sparkplug gap and no grease or oil for lube. It would have made for a better video. I did pick up a great tip. Powerwash the deck. Wow, that must save lots of time and do a good job. I spend way too much time and effort cleaning the deck and it doesn't come as clean as with a power washer. Thanks
I was hoping also he would have shown all the key part to grease.
The pin that’s pulled out at 1:25 what’s it called I lost mine and I need something that can replace it.
Do you have a link for that oil filter removal tool? Standard size?
grease fittings !
He put blades back on upside down
Your positive battery cover is doing absolutely no good not covering the terminal!!
Good morning Sir, it will a great idea to grease both front wheels, differential and the mid front axle ( like 16:37 on my video ua-cam.com/video/g5EsAY3fzY4/v-deo.html ) Keep up the good work and putting mix of oil and grease around the movable part on the deck is great. For your information, the bearing on the mower deck are sceal type for the blade holder/polies, to grease the 3 bearings holding the cutting blades you have first to remove the bearing from the housing were the bearing are located and removed the plastic sceal on the bearing, grease them nd re installed them !!! and the fill the housing with grease for the outside grease nipple. Cheers !!!
Don't keep the old plugs.
Negative son, pulled the deck out from the wrong side when it didn't need to be pulled at all, no blade balancing, maybe you know firewood, i know lawnmowers, you need a bigger lawnmower, come on brother, why take the deck down to clean and half ass sharpen the blades? HUNTSVILLE, Alabama checking inn
Does it really matter which side you pull the deck out from under the mower? And are you suggesting that you shouldn’t clean your deck or sharpen your blades?
@@HometownAcres grass chute out first always abd yes sharpen blades as needed and clean deck after each use but you don't have to remove deck. Likke your channel.
looks like you installed the blades upside down?
