Bought a new S240 mower recently, and viewed many of your how to do videos. How are doing a great job teaching newbie’s like me to John Deere and it’s products. Just wanted to thank you, you are doing a great service to help us unprofessionals.
Well I am just glad I can help! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for showing the proper way to install this. Have a 2001 L100. Still runs great. Take care of your equipment & your equipment will take care of you.😊
Love your videos. Just bought an S130 and excited to start using it with this mulch plug. Thanks!
Thank you great video I was reading on Amazon and people made it sound difficult this is definitely simple thank you
Very helpful. Thanks for doing the video!
I'm glad it was helpful and thanks for watching!
You explained it perfectly, thank you!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Very helpful, thank you!
Thanks for the great info!
You are welcome and thanks for watching!
Very helpful for a first timer like me! Thank you for the details
I am glad I was able to help! How did it work for you?
@@247parts Thank you for asking! It worked out perfectly fine! Just as you showed us. Can you also share a video how to take out the metal & the plastic shoe.
What tools we need
Thanks for the good video on installing the mulcher for my John Deer mower/
I am glad I could help!
Great video, thanks for sharing. I have a s220 JD and mulch plug seems as though it’s to small. Not sure on how to remove metal plate underneath plastic shoot cover. In your video I was hoping that clip was not edited out. Am only received my mower three weeks ago from a JD dealer here in Snellville GA. Am a newbie 😂 as well. Thanks for your input and anyone who may have knowledge on how I can go about this small issue.
Very well done videos..Thanks
thank you from Bandera Texas
Thanks for watching!
Thank you sir…..l appreciate it 🙏🏾
No problem and thanks for watching!
Great video
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Do to the major shortage of JD mowers I found 2 S100 @ Lowes ...now I begin setting up & adjusting which I know they are not going to do (again dealers had NO mowers) I got to the point of balancing sheaves ...yeah I know ,turns out their pulleys also need to balance blades (why) because blades may not be balanced (why) ......still looking, figured everything else out so far thanks to these videos. Jdub PS: wanted to buy a larger tractor but this will do fine ! JD tractor/mowers are out of stock in 100 mile range from us ?? China chips !!
This is interesting and I am sorry to hear of your trouble. Thanks for watching!
Do you have to have mulching blades to use the mulch cover?
I did purchase the mulch plug which is freaking awesome model number GY00115
i really enjoy your videos you keep it simple and very understanding. do you have a video installing a front mount de thatcher on a x 370? Thanks
I do not have a video on this, but I am always up for new ideas so thank you!
If you ever heard the saying -you get what you pay for- it is this. Works fairly well. As some state, it is best NOT to cut anything too high-chokes up. Works very well on leaves though. For about $35-not bad.
I agree with you here.
Do you have a video showing the installation of a power flow bagging system for a s240 48 inch deck?
Unfortunately, not yet. But I will put it on the list. Thanks for watching!
Great video, thanks for sharing. Do you know if there is a similar option for the S240 48" ?
No ,there is not. I just bought my s240 48 it doesn't have this feature.
You have to buy the whole mulching kit to get this.
I called my JD dealership and to purchase it and install it will cost $400.00 😮
Great job John. Tried many times to attach. Directions did not help. Be back to you some of JD issues. Local dealers are not very good.
I see lots of comments about this cover not staying on. I change back and forth between mulching and side discharge, so the under deck kit is too much work. They say the force of the grass hitting the cover pushes it off at the rear. I plan on mulching until fall, then installing the high lift blades for bagging leaves. And is the green deck just the old Edge deck painted green?
Thanks
I just ordered this off your site link sent. But now I see it is for 100 series riders. I have an S220 with a 42 inch deck. Will it fit mine also?
will this work on a D130? JD says part # BM21816 is for my deck
BUC11055: Mower Deck, 42 inch
Excellent video does that mulch cover just send the grass back into the blades to be recut? Also do you sell the grass grooming brushes for a LA135 John Deere rider mower? And price thanks Stan
Yes, that is exactly what it does. On the brush I would call our service team on the site and they can assist you in finding one and get you a price.
I’m trying to change my elderly family member’s LXS55 from a bagged tractor to a mulcher . Is this piece the only thing I need? Thank you for helping :)
Well if you can find a mulch cover for that specific desk then yes. But I am not sure if this plug will fit the deck you have for sure. Check with our support team on 247parts.com and thanks for watching!
Do they make this for a 2022 X350? I'll be installing the mulch kit as well.
It will have to be a mulch kit on the X350. The deck is a different design so they do not make a plug/cover for it. Good question and thanks for watching!
I just took managing a property and discovered a john deer lx266 in the back shop, had it tuned up for $500.00. Runs good, it has a 38 deck and a bagger attached. The chute tube is no good, do they make a new chute tube & mulch plug for this mower. Thanks
Yes, the chute tube is part number BM20982 and the mulch kit is BM21817 and if you need help with ordering these you can reach out to us at 247Parts.com or call the customer support line at 580-303-6707. Thanks for watching!
will this fit the X390 with a 48"deck?
I just got new e100 I ordered mulch plug. It came with 2 other rubber straps n alot of nuts n bolts. But it looks exactly like the one in your video. Why would I get extra nuts n bolts n 2 black straps that have different ends n Half the size. Just hoping the one in video is how mine is rite now. Will that fit the E100 series
This is interesting. That is definitely the one you need, but I don't know why it came with extra hardware and stuff.
If I buy the actual Kit, with the insert that goes inside the deck, can I use Gator blades with it? would it fit?
the should work as long as they are the same length as the original blades. Thanks for watching!
Are mulching blades absolutely necessary to mulch with the mulching cover? My blades are new and I wasn't planning on replacing them so soon. Thanks for the video.
No they are not a requirement. I just always recommend to switch to them when you are planning on primarily mulching to ensure you get the best quality. Thanks for watching!
247 is correct. My JD dealer recommended mulching blades to me when I asked him about dedicating my old 135 to mulching but he said the same thing 247 says: not entirely necessary, just recommended. So I bout a set, but not the JD blades. Copperhead blades.
Do I have to use mulch blades if I want to mulch grass and leaves or can I just use the stock manufacturing blades that already came with it ?
You can use the stock blades since they should be the standard 3-in-1. Good question and thanks for watching!
I've never seen a difference in switching from standard to 3 in 1 blades. As long as you keep them sharp it cuts well.
I have a johndeer s130 I was given two Grass, leaves baggers one from an old johndeer and one from a Cub cadet now I have a 42 inch deck one is a 42 inch the other one is 48 inch now the 42 inch is cub cadet how do I mount it because one little wide may have to do some fabrication work please give me some insight on this for im new in the lawn care business
I have the S100 and this mulch kit is very difficult to install. I followed the video (great video btw!) and the rear notch does not seem to fit all the way and is stuck. After about half an hour of struggling with it I was able to get it halfway in and I started to mow the yard and my mower would turn off because the blades were being obstructed in their range of motion. Any tips?
Sometimes you have to file down the plastic on the cover to make it fit better. I know this is a pain but it happens sometimes on these covers. I hope this helps and thanks for watching!
@@247parts Have you ever had an issue with the blades not engaging sir?
Dose JD make a plug for a 48” Acell Deep deck on a X350.
Unfortunately there is no plug but there are 2 different Mulch Control options for that particular deck. Thanks for watching!
Just bought a new JD X350 with 42" deck. Will this part fit it? This model number GY00115?
Unfortunately it will not. The X350's have an Accel Deep deck and this cover is for the Edge Cutting System decks. Good question and thanks for watching!
Do I have to install a mulching blade if i want to mulch or regular blade works also?
You do not have to change blades but the mulching blades will give you a finer cut. Thanks for watching!
Can you show me how to insert the notch and push it into the backside of the metal? thanks.
If I get a chance to do another video, I will do a short on doing this. Thanks for watching!
One more question does John Deere make and sell adjustable steering rods, so I can take the play out of zydeco steering wheel?
Some steering rods are adjustable but it just depends on the model.
Mine does not fit at all. Bought it for my new s120 and this exact model # mulch cover and it’s almost like it’s too small. The only way it fits is if I don’t engage that notch on the mulch cover but then the shute basically sits on top of it awkwardly. I tried doing it with removing the shute and there is almost an inch gap at the bottom of the mulch cover as it doesn’t sit inside the grooves at all. Any ideas why?
Ditto! This is JUNK! Even he doesn't put the top flap down at the end....because is now doesn't go down with this part installed. Packing it back up and taking it back to Home Depot.
How often should you mulch your yard? Should you bag in early spring, mulch in summer and fall?
This is how people in our area generally do it. It depends a lot on your climate and amount of rainfall. We are in western Oklahoma so most people do an initial bagging/scalp of their yard and then mulch the rest of the time to help put nutrients back into the ground and to help retain water. I hope this helps and thanks for watching!
@@247parts Thank you
Would this GY00115 work on a 2021 JD X380 with a 48 in. Deep Accel?
No unfortunately it will not. This plug is specifically made for a 42" edge deck. On the Accel Deep decks you have to go with a Mulch Control kit or a hard mount mulch kit. Good question and thanks for watching!
Will it fit s220
247Parts I just bought a ZERO TURN Z355R 48" John Deere. I want to use the blades before buying the mulching kit.
Do they have a mulch plug for the 48"? John Deere Mulch Plug Kit for 48" Deck GY20417 I got it thanks.
Is this plug cover 48" Deck GY20417 only for tractor or also works on Zero turns?
Does this 48" Deck GY20417 works on any 48" John Deere tractor or zero turns?
John Deere Mulch Plug Kit for 48" Deck GY20417 I got it thanks.
Unfortunately this mulch plug will not work for the deck on you Z355R. This plug is only for the small tractor style mower with the Edge Cutting System Decks and yours is an Accel Deep Deck.
Agree,it’s very awkward to put the chute on and off….really frustrating …
Does this work with most all JD riding mowers? I have a 300 series rider.
No, each series of mower will have a different mulching system to go with the deck.
on my s100 am able too install correctly but the metal plate has a little nob that doesnt allow it to sit flat on the mulch cover any thoughts?
Sometimes that plate wont sit flat but as long as your mulch cover is tight to the deck you should be ok. Thanks for watching!
Cannot push the notched end all the way in on the rear side (described @ minute 2:34), and there is a small gap, any suggestions?
Sometimes a small gap is ok but if all else fails you could try heating up the notch with a heat gun and bending it just a bit. I hope this helps and thanks for watching!
Will this work on x350
Bought the mulcher kit. That black metal flap under the Chet does not just come off.
Yes, it is supposed to be there.
But you took it off in your video
Why is a mulch kit only available for the 42” & 54” decks & not the 48” deck?
This I still don't have an answer for. I ma not sure where there is such an issue with getting these made right now. I am sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks for watching!
Quick question, just install my bagger onto my 2020 s240, test it out yesterday and not sure why my leaves is not goin into the baggers🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 help please 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
Where are they going?
@@247parts seems like they’re just clogged up on the bottom tube.
@@247parts do I need a mulch kit in order to work ? Cause I don’t have a mulch kit installed yet 😓🤔🤔
Will the GY00115 fit on my new John Deere S110 rider?
Yes, it sure will.
Do you have to change blades too.?
You don't have to, but changing to a mulching blade would increase the cut quality and mulching performance. Good question and thanks for watching!
What is the difference between the S series, L-series or D-series 100 JD mowers? I know newbie question!
All of the 100 series are basically the same. Over the years John Deere will do minor upgrades, mainly cosmetic, to this series of mowers and then give them a new letter in the front. The L would be the older series, then the D, then E, and now they are S series mowers.
@@247parts Thank you. I appreciate the response and now I know!
Do you have a mulch plug for a John Deere zero turn 930M?
There are mulch kits from John Deere that include baffles that go underneath and a hard mount chute cover, but there is not just a plug option. There are also many aftermarket options for mulch covers though. I hope this helps and thanks for watching!
Do you have one for the 42 deep deck?
On that deck it will be either a full mulch kit or the Mulch Control kit.
Do u have a mulch link for 2021 s240’s ?
I am assuming you mean the mulch kit? If so go check us out at 247Parts.com and call our support team and they will be able to get you that information. Thanks for watching!
Will this fit the new S130 JD?
Yes it will. Good question and thanks for watching!
Will that work on 42 inch Accel Deep deck?
No it will not. You will need a mulch kit or Mulch Control kit for the Accel Deep.
Do you have to change blades?
You don't have to but mulching blades will make for a lot finer mulch.
I have the kit. But no instructions. Does this fit E100. The guard doesn't come down n rubs the plastic wheel.
Yes, this is the right kit for the E100. Sometimes they can be a pain to get on. If I can help let me know. Thanks for watching!
@@247parts thank you. I have it on just the rear clip is just against the yellow paint so it didn't seem rite... an the longer guard doesn't go down all the way. I can just remove that guard rite? It is rubbing against the plastic wheel. Also a lady is selling a D100 for $1200. She said its a 2019 low hours is that better then E100. Here's 5 speed. Mine is only Forward neutral Reverse. I read somewhere D series was from 2011 n 2012. Whats your thoughts on it. Looks brand new. Offered $1100. She will take it if other person doesn't buy it. Thanks for responding
having trouble putting on the plug. the flap inside the shoot will not flip up out of the way.
Sometimes these can be tricky. You have to pull out and up at the same time to get it to flip up. Thanks for watching!
Will this part fit an S100?
Yes it will. Thanks for watching!
What’s the part number for the s240 deep accel deck 42”
For the mulch kit? or do you mean for a whole new deck?
@@247parts mulch kit
Is there an option for the s240?
The mulch control kit is going to be the way to go on the S240 because of the AccelDeep deck.
Does this fit the S240?
No this will only be for the Edge decks that come on the 100 series mowers. Thanks for watching!
@@247parts Is there similar Mulch cover or Plug available for S240?
Why is there no mulching cover installation video for the S140, 48inch deck John Deere Tractor? This cover is for another older John Deere model that John Deere advertises for the S140, 48 inch deck tractor, but it does not fit properly because of the rear scalping wheel..
I concur. Same issue for me.
I had to use a heat gun on mine, the upper plastic was curled so it wouldn't let it sit down in the groove. I straightened it back out and it fits well now. Easy install otherwise.
Nice work! I will have to remember this trick next time i have a stubborn plastic piece. What kind of heat gun was it?
@@247parts it's just a normal high low heat gun I got it at home depot, I think it's a black and Decker which is really old. I normally use it for heat shrink because it's not an open flame and won't melt the plastic unless you hold it there to long.
I have trouble getting the metal shield up out of the way and once I got it up I cant get it down. Some guy did a very useless vid but I couldnt tell what or how he did it. We need a good video showing how to.
The Deere book doesnt mention it and the dealer only knows what's in the book. Catch 22.
It should just be pulling it out and up and then to lower it you should just have to pull out.
@@247parts thanks. It was new so I had to oil it and it worked ok. Thanks for the help.
This did not fit my s240 42 inch deck. Not even close. I have the accel deep deck. Is that why it doesnt fit? And is there one made for mine?
Yes, this is true for the newer models. They changed to the AccelDeep deck a couple of years ago and now your only mulching option is a hard mount kit or the mulch control kit.
LOL. I should have watched this video BEFORE installing my plug. I fought and fought and fought with installation until I realized that for some odd reason, my plug arrived from the factory with the clips reversed when assembled. I'd have known that if I had watched this first. Someone at the JD plant had an off day - or decided to have some fun with the purchaser. Has anyone else here had this happen?
This is interesting. I will be following this.
@@247parts I guess it's bound to happen once in awhile. OR: From the condition of the box it came in (re-taped and badly distorted from handling) it's possible it was a return item from another customer, I suppose. I shouldn't be so quick to blame JD. Regardless, it's working fine and I'm happy with it. I paired it with some Copperhead mulching blades which appear to be doing a good job.
What is the purpose of the metal cover plate?
This is just an additional safety piece the the chute kit. Being as that the opening on these 42" decks is so large this was put in place as a an additional safety measure. Thanks for watching!
@@247parts Thank you
Can you leave the shoe off? I can’t get it through my gate Just got the S100 today won’t fit due to the Black Blade Cover it’s says do not remove??
Yes, as long as your mulch cover is mounted securely. Thanks for watching!
there are two holes in the front . How about showing WHICH hole to use,,,
Crypt is that you?
Haha nope, just Brent! Thanks for watching!
Yeah... Not a great design. Scratched the crap out of my new yellow deck and the rivet pulled through completely on the mulch plug. I'll have to rig up a bolt and washer and nut type of replacement.
I do agree with you that the design needs some upgrading.
This is not intuitive on the S140 48inch mulch deck... there are no match holes as you demonstrated on the 42inch deck. Very confusing.
my goodness... if you read the reviews for this item, holy heck, people make it sound like it's IMPOSSIBLE to install. When I brought up your video, I was expecting WAY worse. What is wrong with people where they can't handle something as BASIC as this? wow wow wow.
I love my JD but the multch cover is an aweful design. I made a plate that goes over the studs for the discharge shoot that holds the multch cover down. Those straps they use will crack and break after a few yrs.
That sounds like it would be pretty legit!
Not that easy. Plastic is all warped. Had to get all disfigured to get it installed.
Darn, I hate to hear this, but thanks for watching!
Very cool of you to not include how to operate the flap that's under the chute, that is required to be up in order to install the cover. You literally cut right over that part.
My apologies! You just have to pull out and up to get it to flip up out of the way.
ua-cam.com/users/shortsVVbl9XeqYqE?si=UC6qAY11EnRCj9Sp
@stuart So you knew what to do and still made it a point to be an ass about it?
Thanks for explaining. Trying to move the inner shoot was the only reason I clicked on this.
Dude skipped the only reason I needed this video lol
Why does every video on this skip over how the metal plate gets out of the way because the metal plate won't get out of the way. Literally just edited past it
Ok. I see. It stays on. Sorry I thought the metal flap was removed. But both flaps are up.
No worries!
A good John deere lawn and garden tractor is one that's been thrown away they are Trash 🗑
I'm all about hearing others opinions. What brand do you prefer?
You need to learn how to get to the point. You go off on way too many tangents. Just put them damn thing on.
Thanks for the feedback.
@@247parts I appreciate you making the video.
How about to showing the clips. Your hand was covering it.
