BIG SALUTE T-Bone!
That would have stumped 99% of homeowners and a LOT of Pro’s. Personal pride kept you at it.
Thank you 😊 we don't quit until it's right
Thank you, I've been a troubleshooting gentleman all my life and sometimes what seems obvious after you have identified it can take hours of frustration
Technicians like you are hard to find. You did an amazing job. Great tips with the meter. Thank you!
Me and you are buds already! You got more sense than 90% of these guys on UA-cam. You did good.
Very much impressed with your tenacity and calm demeanor to find the problem. You have a teachers ability to patiently explain things. I'm off to buy a voltage and ohm tester and a basic circuit tester. Happy I bumped into this video.
I find it easiest to bypass all the safety switches by jumping the solenoid with a screwdriver. If it cranks then battery, starter, cables, and grounds are good. This saves a lot of time going down rabbit holes.
Glory Hallelujah 💥
I’m 73 and just found you trying to find the best oil filter for my LA 145 JD and found you
I’m a old farm girl and my Dad’s right hand man at age 2yrs old. So I so appreciate your knowledge I’m going back to all your videos you are my new encyclopedia 💖
My Dad would have been proud of you sharing that was amazing find a wire nodded off.
My hat is off and I salute you Sir🇺🇸
Thank you for your kind words my friend.
Actually as a 35 yr Senior Master ASE I find that most of my electrical fixes are bad connectors or bad grounds. Some have a high or low current flow and when corroded will not work. It's actually saved my customers allot of money and me time. It also has made me a bit of money and my customers quite happy.
Excellent information. The 12 volt test light trick on positive is the trick to finding ground faults. The digital ohm meter has the drawback of using an extremely small current to test continuity. It probably would have not caught that ground problem as there are paths to ground thru other components. Test light was the way to go. Also a headlight with test leads can be better in many test because it puts a proper current load on the circuit. Headlight can be used in place of a fuse looking for a short to ground. You are spot on with your diagnostic procedures. I’m a retired 50 year career car tech fixing mowers part time now. Your videos are helping me transition to this field. Thanks so much.
Thank you
Great advice!
I love your straight on approach to your work. Easy to understand and I always learn something!
Thank you
Nice detective work, seems your customer is twice blessed...with a great price on this lawnmower and a great mechanic to troubleshoot it for him.
Thank you, and thanks for your kind words.
I think he is an honorary Donut Deputy.......lol
I love watching videos to hopefully learn something I didn’t know before.
It’s all about troubleshooting.
Luckily I was blessed to be able to troubleshoot.
Great informational video T-Bone. Watching from Halifax, Nova Scotia 🇨🇦
Awesome, thank you 😊
Persistence and determination. Well done T-bone! As a homeowner and a former mechanic I would have been pulling my hair out. Great job and great video editing, you are fantastic at both!
Wow, thank you!
Great tutorial on the fundamental testing procedures. It's mighty intimidating to lots of folks. Cheers!
Thank you, yes it is
😅😮
For
Yep it is Stella. Push mower coil easy. But a rider...it will test me
My exact model, bought it brand new at Deere dealer. No problems so far, but it's inevitable that I'll eventually run into one of these problems. I'm downloading this video. Thank you so much for showing me how to trouble shoot possible future problems.
Great job of actually showing how to check those safety switches. All in all the customer should be very happy with what he paid for the mower and parts. Plus your bill. Thanks for showing us all the good stuff and the videos.
Great video
Can’t thank you enough for this video.god bless.☮️
Very helpful video, thanks.

Awesome, thank you!!
Well done and easy to follow your instructions.
❤ Ho Lee Chit I saw John Deere so I stopped by. Lucky me now I’m subscribed. Like your way of training us.
Thanks for the sub!
i am a automotive technician and mouse /rodent damage is very prevalent in cars. it is both a blessing and a curse
Rabbits love car wiring also.
How is a rodent in a car a blessing????
@WestsideCritters well it helps me pay my bills as a automobile mechanic
I had a mouse make a home in my instrument cluster and it's urine shorted tracks on the car check light pcb, causing much hilarity 😬
Thanks helps me out for future use.
Thanks for the information! Good job bro!
Always great to watch an artist at work!! Thanks for sharing!
Great Diagnosis T Bone 😀😀😀
Awesome Video!
Thanks for this great video.
Your the man! The secret switch. Watched a million videos, checks all the switches and connections, battery, etc.. but no one mentions the secret mother f&#kin switch. Your the master!
Your never too old to learn. Thank you..
t-bone, thank ye. that was great. you taught me stuff i didn't know. the "wallerin-out" phenomenon is one I'm familiar with but you brought it to everbody's attention.
I work on a good many mowers, this video was on point.
Thanks
Thank you, glad you liked it 😊
Great job, very informative, thank you
Well I'm impressed. I still think a con man designed these tractors.
T-Bone, it's always a pleasure and ultra, down to earth informative. You're the Man! Thanks again
Thank you
Great video! I have 2 John Deere's, and have been thru most of the switches already! LOL I like 'em, but they can be a pain sometimes.
Awsome diagnostic. Short and sweet.
I'm sharing this with my shop guys.
Thank you!
Great, glad it was helpful my friend. Thanks for sharing.
GREAT VIDEO , you are the only one to teach us how to use a test light and ohm meter while fixing stuff..
Thank You..
Thanks my friend
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and creating this video! 👍🏻
Perhaps the most comprehensive and simple videos I've seen on the subject. I have a 12 yo D110 and 9yo D170. I have yet to replace any safety switch. However I have had to do extensive troubleshooting and watched several other videos on this same subject and while helpful not as problem solving as yours. I'd like to suggest this. Before checking any safety switches but after making sure you have good battery...check the two wire connections on the solenoid. In every instance for me, these connections were dirty and needed a good cleaning and the machine cranked right up. Just a week ago I had to change the connections as the thes became to loose to maintain good contact. Just my thoughts. Thanks
Awesome . Thanks 👍
Thanks for the info...do not have a rider, but thi video was entertaining.👍
Glad you liked it my friend
Great Video - Just bought a used John Deere - no problems with it yet, but this video will be very helpful when I eventually do!!
T Bone you the man . Love your video’s you have a lot of knowledge . 🙏🏻👍🏻
Thank you
U are amazing sir!! Very informative. Thanks.
So nice of you
I gotta fix my 1st riding mower soon..I've done hundreds of push mowers all fixed. But I will do my best
Good stuff Brother 😎 T-Bone..
Thank you
Supreme informational video. Thankyou Sir.
Thanks for posting. this is great info!!
Glad it was helpful!
Great stuff, one more thing you left out. Make sure your PTO switch is not engaged.
Went through all these academic exercises and that's what was the problem.
Learned a lot thank you!😊
I like your diagnostic ideas - Stop replacing parts - till you KNOW what part to replace! Great info - Got a new Subscriber! Thank You for sharing.
Thank you.
Tbone you did a very good job explaining everything and making it simple.i work on everything I own.most of the time I fix it. Thank you.
Enjoyed this video. Great info.
Thanks for putting this on helps me out a lot.Thank you Now maybe I'll quit pulling my hair out
Glad you found it. I have to look at a buddy’s same tractor and I figured it was something like that. Hopefully it’s the same. The electrical lesson was great also.
You can look at persons shop and tell whether they know what they are talking about or well rounded in numerous fields, this guy is one of them.
Great video T-Bone
Good 👍 one
Tank's verry interesting
I followed your video and found an issue with my brake switch. Close visual inspection... and now its up and running. Thank you!
That's great Tim. Thanks for watching and commenting my friend
I lasted. Sr. Scientist in Electronics and Physics. I enjoyed and agreed with your discussion. Well Done and worth my while to see JD tractor. X300 here. And larger tractors. 🙂
Personally, I would not have known that switch was bad after merely looking at it. Maybe after trying to depress the button, I may have known🤪. Thanks for the awesome video, T-bone!
thankyou very much T BONE. Finally some one that can explain it in a way i can understand .you are now my # 1 source when i run into mower problems. most times i can find the issues but my troy bilt bronco was kicking my ass had to run a hot wire from battery switch to finish mowing last season now i can tackle it with a better range of knowledge.
Thanks so much for your support and kind words my friend.
My buddy was given a fairly new JD mower. The sprite 85 year old lady just bought a new 1... She was still riding her old Harley at her age. So it didn't run we drove down to trailer it home. I've been a mechanic 45+ years on anything with an engine lol. 1st I found the battery cables loose and dang near falling off. Fixed cables, still no crank so I looked around and found that same switch, hanging loose. Squeezed it as I turned the key, SHAZZAM !! There she goes, fired right up. So I showed him where it was in case it happened ever again... As I've retired and moved to SE Asia lol can't work on all his cars etc 8500 miles away.
Raley's Small Engines.. I already knew everything you said in the video and I still feel like I learned something.. Nice job sir.
thanks for showing this most appreaciated
Great video T-Bone.
T- Bone, Thank You VERY much on this video. You Spelled it out. I am ready to tackle my JD.
Thank you for this It is very helpful. When my dad passed away I have his 585 and went to start today and didn’t Thank you taking the time and your excellent direction in what to do.
I don’t own a pair of shorts and tennis shoes but at 72 I think I will try mec small engine repair this summer
Other good lessons of Never giving up
Another great troubleshooting video. Thanks for posting!
Thank you 😊
Great work and thank you for making the video.
Moses Sandals! Great Video!
Wonderful video. I am currently scratching my head with my lawn tractor; this video has given me new confidence that I am going to figure this out...or die tryin'! Thank you!!
Thanks for the video, made so much sense. I’m a subscriber for sure!
Awesome thank you
Thank you for sharing.
Perseverance paid off. That looked like mouse damage.
Thank you. Yes I agree 👍🏻 💯
Great video!
Thank you
That's crazy, there's too many safety switches, which makes more wires for the mice to chew on or rust & break off and can cause a ground or no ground, im glad you found it, I was given a LA145, won't start, will try & eye ball about all what you taught, thanks
OMG! TBONE you saved me so much time! Great video. Wish I lived closer, I'd volunteer to work for you just for the education alone. Thank you!, Thank you!
Awesome!!
Excellent t bone I will be back cheers 🥂 😊
I hate chasing down electrical,but that's the only way to learn.Great video
Me too. You are correct my friend. Thanks so much for watching and commenting brother.
Well thank you very much like learning's news Stuff Thank you for the video
I found this helpful about using the multimedia and location of some switches.
Great video. Very informative. Thankyou Sir.
thankyou for sharing your expertise.
Excellent explanation!
Thank you
Well I just bought a John Deere s140 and I after I buy something I always like to advance my education into troubleshooting future problems and I'll tell you what you are a brother from another mother I thank you so much cuz this girl is not strange to working on mechanics on anything and I found your video very educational and enlightening so thank you again I hope you have a fantastic Labor Day weekend September 2nd 3rd and 4th 2023.

Good One. Just watched it again a year later. Very well done Sir. An Excellent Model for $100. Keep it!
Thank you
AWESOME JOB! THANKS, GOD BLESS. STAY SAFE. 😇
Always enjoy your videos. Best small engine content out there in my opinion.
Thank you very much my friend
Thanks Tbone! I still didn’t find my problem but will keep watching! I figure by the end I’ll have a brand new mower of replacement parts
Bring it here, lets film it and fix it. Let's diagnose it and not be a parts replacer.
