My grandpa had a yellow deck one when I was younger that I cut his grass with many times. Today, that some mower ended up at my house after I got it back running. Hoping to have it for a long time!
I bought my STX38 yellow deck back in the late 90's at an estate sale. I thought it was a temporary mower until I could afford a new one. That little mower mowed so nice and so easy to work on that I just kept it. The 12.5 engine is bullet proof. Sadly, the spline on the pully on top of the axle stripped a few years back. I bought a cub cadet to replace it. Even with a 25 HP engine and a 50 inch deck I miss my STX38. I finally ordered that pully and will treat it as a winter project. Can not wait to have it back.
JR. have you ask your local Fire department when they retire some of their hoses. if you might get some for your truck. since they are for decoration mostly.
I remember my grandmother use to make us mad when we were young. She lived out in the country and had a riding mower and wouldn't let us use it to cut her big ass yard and field. She made us use the push mowers and it would take us all day to cut her yard. We would travel 2 1/2 hours to visit our grandmother and as soon as we arrived she put us to work. Lol
Sounds like your grandmother and mine were sisters. She would also cook us a 7 course meal for lunch and get offended if we didn't eat seconds. Good times.
Just need to chrome the wheels, fit a spoiler for downforce, put downwards facing LED stripes on and set up a sound system with a boombox to really impress your friends. 😅
I worked for a John Deere dealership for over 15 years as a maintenance mechanic. I worked on the Motorsports edition. The Yellow deck was welded and the black one was stamped. I don't think the black deck had the gauge wheels on it. There should be spring that holds up the gear shifter when it is int neutral. Some of the newer models had a ground wire issue. The ground wire was connected to one of the engine mounting bolts. We used to put an external star washer between the frame and the ground wire. They also had a black plastic hold down cover for the battery. That cover was held down with 2 springs.
man i love this channel. you buy anything. i just was recently gifted a 1995 JD LX178 with the liquid cooled engine. was sitting in a field since the early 2000s so it has a lot of work that needs to be done, but the engine turns over. i'm planning to do a full restoration to make it look as factory/brand new as possible!
Potential Racing Lawn Mower from John Deere. No mowing the lawn better than at 50mph. I used to do wheelies in my Briggs and Stratton Ride on, you should do.
There's something to be said about the Serenity you can achieve when mowing on your rider. With all the things in his mind for his business and the work being put in the new shop, taking the time to zone out while mowing can save a life.
I bought my STX38 in 2001 for $400, when it was 10 years old. It still faithfully mows my lawn. I've treated it to 2 starters, 20 oil changes, 10 oil filters, 5 spark plugs (Champion RC12YC), 5 batteries, 4 front tires, 2 rear ties, a coil pickup, a seat, 2 replacement bags for the bagger attachment, and two changes of belts, in the last 20 years. It's got around 1000 hours on the it, and I'm still running the original Kohler 12.5. It's got some blow-by, of course. When you re-fitted the hood, you didn't show using a hook tool to re-attach the springs. If you don't re-attach the springs, the hood will fall off the first time you go down hill or hit a bump. Unbroken hoods on these are few and far between, and command ridiculous prices. You'll want to drop your deck periodically and clean off grass that ends up on top of it. It'll foul the belts otherwise. You didn't show it, probably because you didn't know it's there, but there is a spring loaded belt tension release on the right side of the top of the deck. If you hit something, you'll hear a thud and the blades will stop spinning. Drop the deck to re-engage the spring loaded lever to put the belt tension back.
My dad bought a JD 160 lawn mower back in 84 or 85 I think. I think I put tens of thousands of miles on it cutting their grass, neighbors grass, etc. Then a few years later we bought a snow thrower for it. One particular storm it was heavy wet snow and I blew the bearing right out the side. Overall it's been a killer lawnmower. Beat the living hell out of it and it's still running to this day at my sisters house.
This channel is great! One day you're working on a twin turbo Audi R8, the next a John Deere riding mower. Tomorrow will probably be a slightly used NASA lunar rover. Keep up the great work.
Mower Tip 1; Do yourself a favor and put an inline isolation valve up stream of the fuel filter. These Tractors have a tendency of gravity dumping all the fuel out of the tank into the oil crankcase and piston chambers when the carburetor float-needle and seat fails open when you store the tractor after cutting. Nothing like attempting to start the tractor with liquid fuel in the piston chamber/s (Chambers if it's a twin motor). This happened to me three times, before installing the fuel isolation valve. I now have a very good habit on checking the oil dip stick before starting the tractor and turning the fuel valve ON before cutting the lawn and OFF again before storing it until the next time. Another plus, with this fuel valve CLOSED and running the engine carb out of fuel, you don't have to drain the fuel tank and its a good time to change the fuel filter. Just put in some fuel additive for winter if you like. Mower Tip 2; The heads are made of soft Aluminum, so don't over tighten the Spark Plug. Been there, done it... You'll hear the piston head hit the plug tip, if you do. Tip 3; Have allergies? Wear a dust mask helps when cutting grass.
My brother had one that came with his house. 5 acres and we did FAR more with that thing before he upgraded than what's recommended. It was a champ though.
I have the exact same mower. You can avoid the oil filter mess by removing the two square 1/8 NPT plugs in the filter housing and running pipe out past the edge of the frame. There are several air filters on eBay.
That same engine we have on our LT160 & still runs like new w just about 1000hrs on it: They used that same engine for like 10yrs. Yeah the plastic hoods do suck, if that one breaks just get a JD130, 160, 165, 170, 175, 180, & or 185 hood. Also be aware that since it’s a light weight standard transmission mower that it’ll want to flip over if you get on a hill, the earlier GTs w 4 spd transmissions didnt do it, but this one would do it.
Nice! My neighbor is moving and gave me his yellow deck STX 38. Mine practically looks brand new. Only issue is a vapor lock issue when the mower has been running for a half hour.
I had one of these. In it's first two years of life, it went back to the dealer 8 or 9 times for various things. After that, she was wailed on for 19 years total. She was always underpowered for my needs, but she tried her best to do the work required. When the teething problems were out of the way originally, she really only required oil and filter changes and the odd starter motor every couple years. That last year I owned it, it was apparent that she needed more work that what she was worth. I hooked the old girl up and drug her up to the road with my old IH Cub and stuck a free sign on her. I suspect she's probably still out there.
... great to see someone cares for their lawn equipment I also degrease and wax my scag commercial mower/Simplicity snow blower and Briggs and Stratton gas generator once a year. Keeps them looking and running like new for many years To come.
Check bolts that hold motor down on bottom side. They tend to work loose which can cause issues with exhaust pipe. I found out hard the hard way. If you turn the front tires you can slip a smaller oil pan in that space to catch the oil.
Dad has a similar vintage Deere mower, looks almost like this one but just a wee bit bigger/beefier. Same shifter but the deck goes up/down with a big old lever that sticks up past the hood that you pull. I think he bought it in 1987 or 88 when they bought the house, still runs/operates like a new mower. Although he started push mowing the front yard(like 1/2 an acre lol) like 20 years ago for the exercise and cause the stripes look much prettier.
We have a diesel John Deere 455 lawn tractor that came with the house. Has had a lot of problems and has to be repaired frequently, but it does the job on the large lawn. Has headlights that allow mowing in the evening when its cooler.
Now, the enamel coating is fun however for the non-mower folks out there keeping a decent mower/lawn tractor cleaned and some regular wax or sealant and UV protectant on the steering wheel, seat and tires is protecting what's now a pretty good investment if you have a John Deere, Husquvarna, Cub Cadet or other nicer equipment.
I just bought the black deck, Motorsport, with the hydrostatic drive, the thing is such a torque monster, unfortunately the Motorsport hood was destroyed long ago and I only got the regular hood, but still the machine is a beast.
If I had known this was coming, I would have taken pictures of the JD lawn tractors traveling around and doing hauling at the Le Sueur County Pioneer Power Association Swap Meet this past weekend. Straight pipes.
I wouldn't run synthetic oil in that mower if I were you. It will develop leaks . Any standard 30 w. or 10-30 will work just fine. I work in a John Deere dealership and I am very familiar with those mowers. Also if you paint those rims yellow , that is the correct color would look 100 times better.
he may beat you because of that transmission those 24 hp husq have a slower trans if its a hydrostatic -most newer mowers are those old 5 speeds are fast
dont know if anyone gives a shit but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch all the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Have been binge watching with my gf for the last couple of weeks xD
Just bought one for $75 needed bushings I bought the whole steering pedestal . Just switched the bushings around for now, till I need the new pedestal. 😊
Here I am watching JRMow, and thinking about the rider in my garage that still has the snowblower on it 🤐. Should really put the deck back on it before the grass is a foot tall.
I had a 1994 Cub Cadet HDS2185 that I ran from new until 2019. Then I decided to be done with belts forever (shaft drive but had a deck belt) and sprung for a Ryobi all electric rider.
Why can't I find these deals? Every rider below $600 in my area looks like it went through the hood on a joy ride, fell down a cliff and then repaired with fruit stripe gum and flex tape
Two things: You can get replacement STX38 decals for 40 bucks on amazon. And East Coast Vinyl Werkz makes a baller lime green flame decal for the hood that you totally need. Uh huh. Yep.
Don't forget to hit the grease points on deck/pulleys and steering
And the air filter with blade sharpening.
Yea many things he has no idea about it seems.
This has to be the 1st ceramic coated mower on UA-cam. JR, you forgot to use the gold wrench on her though.💛🔧😄
He did you must have missed, though he didn’t have the fancy presentation of it.
Bring me the gold ratchet !!!
YOU MISSED IT - look @ 11:53
I spent 5 mins watching a ride mower get detailed?????
The Lawn Mower needs the OEM Cup Holder, called John Deere Original Equipment Holder #AM131898 @ $22.71 on Amazon.
Ordered, pretty cool that fits any mower! amzn.to/3gDsNtl
Needs lift kit. Chrome hub caps three point hitch accessory trailers. And bluetooth....
Oh yeah a safari bar and led driving light

You need to paint those rims John Deere yellow. That said, they're great little machines
REAL John Deere paint is so easy to find, but I am sure he will do the right thing and use whatever garbage they have in the back corner at O'Reilly.
Grew up mowing my yard as a kid on a 1967 JD 110. Miss that little beast. They really didn't change all that much over 30 years.
😂 I'm pretty sure your first "watch jr mow" was one of the first videos of yours I saw.
R8’s and Atoms and Deere, oh my!
The grass definitely looks greener on the other side!!
For some reason watching you mow uphill had me flashing back to when you were offloading the Sidekick seemingly forever ago.
Been waiting on some watchjrmow content for a long time!
Putnum county ny?
JR. have you ask your local Fire department when they retire some of their hoses. if you might get some for your truck. since they are for decoration mostly.
Simple Green or Mr Muscle, wash with water ,spray and soak, rinse again.
All the grass stains disappear and oxides gone. Wax and enjoy
Now that you have a ride on mower, we want to see that grass looking like center field at Yankee Stadium. complete with stripes.
If it has grease fittings on the deck spindles and steering you need to grease it to complete the maintenance.
Big John Deere lawn tractor guy! Love it!!!

HAD a JD riding mower (they area all contracted out) was SLOW and hard to maneuver. Sold for a Hustler Super-Z 60" -its and extreme machine
Now you gotta get some chrome hubcaps , and a stack out the hood with a Clapper.
Finally got to watch Jr mow
You're in good hands with that mower and that mower is in good hands with you for sure

Saturday I drove from Missouri to Derby to see a friend and realized they lived about 5 blocks from your shop! You ever do shop tours?
I have a feeling you are going to be on a Cleetus Level of caring about the grass by the end of the summer 😆
Have to have someone as good as the lawn care nut to take care of it.
Nobody cares for grass like Cleetus does.

"Today on WatchJRGo, we put twin turbos on the mower to cut our mowing times in half!"
I was more amazed on how long that train was. You had it fast forward and that train was there for a good while
Atleast 2 times a day... They block it for up to an hour as it's one of the spots that trains can pass each other.
precision scheduled railroading - fewer trains but they're much longer.
it also wasn't going very fast but accelerated through the video
Get em beat gotethanol trains over 120 ccars
I highly recommend changing the differential fluid, too. I bought an 80s JD, and it blew out on me.

All you need now is a pair of white new balances to match your C4 and your Deere!
Haha time to break em back out! IIRC, he had some with the official Corvette owner uniform when he and Elliott went to see the C8.

That would be fun to watch him accidentally put his foot through the wall.

Brilliant randomness, JR.
He's correct I expected nothing less then a ceramic coat!!
ceramic coat. of course you are! one bottle of Avalon King coated my Boxster and Civic! That stuff is pretty awesome.
Those hoods are delicate, went through a few!! Don't drop it!! 12.5 is the correct Kohler.
Man I got an old JD 260 lawn tractor need I g an overhaul... You have inspired me... Thank you sir
I love a good episode of WatchJRMow
Love the one (1) yellow rear wheel. Random!
I thought that the JD mowers of that era had all JD Yellow wheels. I seen what appeared to be 3 white and 1 yellow??? LOL
I have the exact same mower. You can avoid the oil filter mess by removing the two square 1/8 NPT plugs in the filter housing and running pipe out past the edge of the frame. There are several air filters on eBay.

Check bolts that hold motor down on bottom side. They tend to work loose which can cause issues with exhaust pipe. I found out hard the hard way. If you turn the front tires you can slip a smaller oil pan in that space to catch the oil.
And of course, you're going to paint the bucket seat yellow and reprroducing the adhesives to copy the sport version =D
That’s a very nice zero turn radius kit at the end.
Nice to see one in pristine brand new condition.
It would also be cool if you remove part of the yellow strip on the front with led lights

I used to take the hood off every time to change the plug. We used to put RC12YC Champion plugs in them.
Why can't I find these deals? Every rider below $600 in my area looks like it went through the hood on a joy ride, fell down a cliff and then repaired with fruit stripe gum and flex tape
Never apologize about a train. They are pretty freaking cool too. Talk about horsepower... 😊👍👍

Two things: You can get replacement STX38 decals for 40 bucks on amazon. And East Coast Vinyl Werkz makes a baller lime green flame decal for the hood that you totally need. Uh huh. Yep.
I picked up a cub with a similar cooler with 90 hours on it for 300. Added a 30$ battery and she mows. Some good deals out there if you search.
I like when the truck pulls up to that “donut” shop.
It came with a yellow seat; do it proud!
