I appreciate the video Rick, in case I need to adjust my riding mower. You made it look easy enough without taking it to a shop. Thank you Sir!
I was hoping to see you riding home from where you bought it.
@@RickMammana I bought it 15 miles from my house. I drove it off the delivery truck!! Cut an hour off my mowing time. Maybe I’ll drive it up to the Pizza Hut a quarter mile away from our house. 😊👍🏻
👍😎👍
Great video great tips hello Rick and Kathy
Whoops, he's got a problem here. Not to worry John Deere Wildman will take care of it. My husband has to do the big servicing to ours every year. We have a lot of property to mow. He always has to sharpen the blades as well. He sure does love his John Deere too Rick. 😎
It's so much fun riding it around. 👍🙂👍
Helping a friend, thanks for the info.
No problem 👍
Rick, that puts tension on the blade startup. When you disengage the lever releases tension allowing the blade brakes to rub against the blade pulleys. Sounds like the one blade brake is sticking, not stopping the blade. Look a little deeper. Rust or debris not allowing it not to work. With the tension off try to turn both pulleys by hand. The one that will turn is the side not engaging the brake.
Thanks!
Hi Rick I’m afraid that might not be a fix. I have the same mower. That’s a tensioner adjustment for allowing the blades to engage but if one blade spinning freely it’s the blade brake that’s the problem. I took my lower deck off which is simple and had to replace the spring that pushes the brake onto the pulley when you disengage from above the break stops the blades from spinning when it pushes on the pulley. But perhaps it was only the tension cable.. Love your videos!!
Thanks! Well if I need to replace the brake it sounds easy. So far the blade stops like it should.
Good job!
🚜 👍
I never knew that. I just replaced the belt. Plus I caught the front rim are they chrome.
Yeah mag wheels! 👍ua-cam.com/video/bAAaIPPKyCg/v-deo.html
I have a TROYBILT riding mower I have had since before 2013,so far I have not had to replace the belt,I dread the day I do,the whole deck has to come off,I have had the TROYBILT push mower before that.
The deck might come off easy.
Hey bro my d105 auto has that bracket you adjusted welded on not bolted....
Yeah I heard some of them are like that. Maybe there's a similar adjustment in a different spot. Sorry I don't know. :)
Yeah, my E100 is welded also.
Mine was welded too, so I made one out of a standard hardware "L" bracket that's about 3/16" think, but longer than the one that was welded onto the deck. I used an angle grinder to grind a slot about 2" long on one side, drilled holes for the cable on the other side, cut the welded bracket off the deck and drilled a couple of holes in the deck and bolted my 'homemade' bracket onto it. The bolt holes are about 3/4" to 1" apart and I put washers under the bolt heads for maximum contact area. I used self-locking nuts so they wouldn't come loose and so far, it's worked perfectly. You do have to be careful that you don't adjust them too tight because, as mentioned elsewhere, there are brakes that engage the pulleys when the belt tension is released, so you don't want a too-tight belt pulling against the engaged brakes.
No need to remove the cable from its mount. Loosen bolts and slide it back with cable in place.
I need to tighten my cable. It’s so loose the blades won’t ingage.1/17 pm
My blades wont engage so i replace the PTO cable and manually when i pull lever i can see the cable pulling and moving things above deck but when i get on and engage nothing happens. Do u have a video or help for that?
I'm not sure unless a belt broke or fell off.
Time 2 For John Deere Tuneup If needed
Bracket looks aftermarket. Mine is factory welded to the deck and you cannot move it!
That's how it was new. ?
Have the same problem
I need your input. I put in a new deck belt. Now when I engage the PTO/blades and lower the deck the engine loses power. When I raise the deck engine runs stronger. If I don't engage the blades engine runs fine regardless of deck height.
Hmmm all I can think is just maybe a spindle or bearing is bad and with the new belt it's tighter causing more force on the spinning blade slowing the motor.
@@RickMammana This is exactly the problem I'm having as well. I don't know about lowering and raising the deck, but as soon as I engage the PTO, the engine loses power drastically. It also rattles and vibrates a lot. A bad bearing or spindle seems reasonable. Any suggestions how to fix or replace one, or even identify which spindle is bad? Or would you recommend I take it in for service?
@@ThrowAway-lk2se Yes if you can't identify the problem I would take it to a shop. The deck seems real easy to remove although I haven't had to do that yet. Best of luck with it.
What year is your tractor Rick?
2015
@Rick Mammana Very Interesting. I have same thing but 2016 . I watched ur video , went out to adjust belt and where u loosened the bolts mine doesn't have bolts looks like it fixed to the deck!
@@markbeck3115 Hmmmm
@Rick Mammana I'd show but don't know how to post pics on here
Is the an adjustment on the end or the cable?
Mine's welded right there then what do you do
I'm not sure maybe the is another adjustment like on an idler pulley.
How do you adjust tension on drive belt on jd d100 riding mower
I'm not sure if it doesn't have an adjustment like this one. I'd look it up. I know you probably are.
What if the tensioner is already back ad far as it will go?
Then you might need a new belt.
@@RickMammana went thru 4 belts. Belts are loose when i install but tensioner cant go back any further.
@@RickMammana im having this same problem, my belt is extremely loose and it feels like it should have a 40 or 41 inch belt even though i know its a 42 inch deck and calls for a 42 inch belt, the tensioner is already adjusted as far back as it will go, do you think the cable could be damaged and just needs to be replaced as well?
@@axion3979 Some after market belts are longer than the stock JD belts, even though the length dimension is the same. The actual stock belt length is 103". If it won't tighten up, the easiest thing to do is just buy a belt that's an inch shorter. Or, if it's WAY loose, buy one two inches shorter. Some dealers stock 104" belts for JD 42" mowers, but that's almost surely gonna be too long. Stick with a 103" belt, or if that's still too long, get a 102". But ALWAYS confine the width to 1/2" so it fits in the pulley groove properly. There's always more than one way to skin a cat.
@@davidmcintosh3971 thats what we ended up doing, i appreciate the response
i was concerned that something might have been damaged especially since we bought a JD manufacturer/ recommended belt
wow
Rick did you see that movie years ago about that guy traveling with the john Deer mower?That was based on a real life story,I liked it.
Yeah i forget what it was called.
Mine is welded.
Mine too 😑
Same here
