THANK YOU! THANK YOU! We tried to get our new John Deer in gear for over an hour! We had no idea that when the delivery guy pushed the mower up to our driveway that you have to push that silver thing in the back, back in! To tell the truth the guy may have told us about that but we were just so excited over the new John Deer we may have missed that bit of information.
Yes as a woman I totally understand you! I feel like its like driving a manual. Lots of steps and have to be in the right order. You can do it! My step-dad just showed me the basics but I'm still on the fence. Gonna keep trying until I get it. Sorry for your loss! God bless.
Thank you for the video. Unfortunately my uncle had a stroke and I didn't have no one to tech me how to operate one of these. I now live at the property of my uncle who's in a nursing home now and I'm taking care of the property
Glad you made the effort to learn how to! Yes, glad this video is out there. It is a bit complicated! Tried the basics with my step-dad just now! Gonna keep at it till I'm an expert! My parents go to Mexico for a month every year now and the yard needs a trim at least once while they are gone. Last time I paid someone but wanting to save some money. Gonna keep trying till I get it.
Hey Bro , I’m sorry to read about your uncle 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 My pops had a stroke and has a brain tumor, so I definitely feel your pain…. I cut a lot of yard with a self propelled Toro mower but wasn’t sure how to work pops John deer riding lawn mower… this video was very helpful and informative… I’ll take it to practice my first cut this weekend…..
Brad - Love your videos. I grew up with a guy named Mike. We were kids in the 80s. Mike was THE best mechanic. Anything from small engine, dirt bikes to cars. He regularly pulled engines and rebuilt them. He worked at the lawn mower shop as a mechanic. Also the best dirt bike rider around. His left hand was like your right and his right was like your left. I think of him every time I’m working on something and “can’t get it”. He’s an inspiration and so are you. Keep up the videos.
Mike was indeed born that way. He once broke a throttle cable on his dirt bike. Instead of walking the bike home he borrowed a pair of needle nose pliers and quickly re-routed the throttle cable from the twist grip directly to the handlebar and just twisted it around the bar. He used his right “arm” to operate the throttle by just pulling some tension. Soon he was pulling wheelies this way. Dude was amazing.
You saved my life today! Did I know how to operate a riding lawnmower when I bought one? No! Did you just teach me? Yes! The delivery guys dropped it off and put it in my driveway which is on a downward slope. I couldn’t figure out how to move it. It was the pin in the back. Thank you so much for making this video.
I’m glad it was helpful and thank you for the kind comment. Please give this video a like subscribe if you haven’t already and share my channel with your friends to help it grow. It would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for watching.
Just had it delivered today. Fired it up to check it out and had the same problem you mentioned upon delivery as many other people. . The pin in the back was left in out position. Thank you very much. ! The video was very informative.
I’m glad you were able to figure it out! and thank you for the kind comment. Not sure if you’re going to perform your own maintenance, but I also have a video on how to perform your own maintenance depending on your model. But they are all very similar. As far as 100 series goes.
Thank you for watching and the kind comment. Here is a video on a newer "How to start and operate" S110 I did. ua-cam.com/video/LAejm9MXppc/v-deo.html. and I would also recommend putting roller bearings in your front wheels. I just put this video out on how to replace them. ua-cam.com/video/Cd15I0mWcQM/v-deo.html. If your going to perform your own maintenance? this video will be a good one for you. ua-cam.com/video/JNj_MRdH33E/v-deo.html. I'm just trying to give you good information to help you keep your John Deere running good for a long time :)
Thank you. I needed this. Husband just walked out on us and now o have to cut the grass but he never showed me how to use it. Ya girl got it now lol i won't have to push the other mower around this big ass yard lol

Thank you! I must tell everyone in all of my videos that I was born with one hand. I do not want anyone to think it happened as an accident under a machine. People tend to judge you and I had a comment "would you trust a man that only has one hand that works on lawn mowers??" That comment is what made me make sure I tell you all. I have great followers and so many positive comments as yours is :). Thank you for watching and the kind comment.

hi, Im looking at one on FB marketplace. does the forward peddle hvae to be pressed in for the duration of the mowing session. Or, is it like cruse control where once its' pressed it stays on. thanks.
Forward pedal must be depressed (and stay depressed) to move forward unless the machine has cruise control. Some John Deere have them and some do not. I cannot tell you which ones have or have not but I'm sure you can look up the specs on the John Deere web site.
I'm glad it was helpful! Good luck with your machine. Do not forget to perform the regular maintenance. I have a video that will help you. ua-cam.com/video/JNj_MRdH33E/v-deo.html.
Hi Brad! I just found your awesome channel and it’s amazing! I have a John Deere 110 that is 5 yrs old and i baby it 🤣….i just had to have a Carburetor selenoid fixed and i wondered if that is normal for a 5 yr old mower….your videos are amazing!! I don’t trust the backyard service guys around here now….i’m in NW Pa across the state and would def hire you if closer….now i can just see myself following your hour long servicing video while instructing my son and questioning his every move so he gets it right …..im betting he will get very annoyed with me 🤣🤣 i subscribed, liked and will pass the word!!
Hi Cindy, thank you for watching and supporting the channel. I do not come across to many fuel shut off solenoids that fail but they are electric and can fail at any time. Many fail due to chewed wires from mice. The biggest part in my opinion on keeping the machine happy for years is, never wash your machine, keep the machine inside a garage or shed if possible, keep mice out of engine and the video on preventative maintenance that you watched is all good measures to keep machine around a long time.
Hello Brad, I have an s240 John Deer and it’s belt recently came off and I can not fix the amount of slack the belt has. Could you please do a video on putting the band back on, please and thank you.
If it is to the right of the ignition key on the side and the block is black and slides up and down. It most likely is cruise control. This machine did not have cruise control.
@JohnsonsSmallE Hi Brad. I am a new subscriber, and I really enjoy your repair videos, and I have a question for you. Unfortunately, I recently had to replace the engine on my JD D110. I know it's suggested that I change the newly added oil, as soon as I have performed only one or two mows with the new engine, to clean out any factory particle remnants that may have remained in the engine, during manufacturing. My question is, do you suggest that I replace the new factory installed oil filter, as well? I look forward to your reply, and watching any new videos that you produce. Thanks, much!!
@@JohnsonsSmallEngines Thanks for your recommendation. I have signed up for all notifications for your channel and will be viewing, and liking them all. I appreciate your straight-forward, layman's terms, approach! 🔧🔩
Why do my jd lawn tractors new and old sometimes when start them u they will smoke for a second john deere said that was normal but they didn't explain why.do u know why I know nothing is wrong with them one is 16 years old did that since it was brand new and my 4 year old one does it once in a while
If it is black smoke? that is ok. If it is white smoke? That is a sign of oil getting burned in the cylinder and is not normal. That being said, if it goes away quickly, normally we do not look into it because of the cost. Just keep an eye on your oil level. If the white smoke gets worse (engine smokes alot at idle after machine is hot) you may want to have it looked at. You may have a blown head gasket or a tired engine.
Excellent! Your video was much easier than trying to decipher the book! Thanks!

Literally just figured out how to get my mower moving by watching this video for the SAME EXACT reason! Thanks for the information 🤙🏼
👍
Bro same deal here, had to mow the parents lawn, pushed that rod in and boom! Ready to go! Thanks !
Thank you so very much. I've been avoiding the lawnmower for 2 years as hubby died and this is a big milestone for me. You are a lifesaver.
Yes as a woman I totally understand you! I feel like its like driving a manual. Lots of steps and have to be in the right order. You can do it! My step-dad just showed me the basics but I'm still on the fence. Gonna keep trying until I get it. Sorry for your loss! God bless.

Just cut my yard with a JD today and it was way more fun than I thought. I see why my aunt does her own landscaping

ThANKS SAVED MY MOWER FROM A REPAIR 😅😅😅
I’m glad it was helpful and you were able to get going again! Please give this video a like and share my channel to help it grow!
How do you reset the maintenance reminder. I don't have the manual for my mower.
Thanks for the excellent videos,I've watched a ton of them. And I especially look for anything you make on the JD 100 series.
Unless it has a reset button on it. Most likely you cannot reset it. I have not found many that you could.
I needed that just bought a used one.
I’m glad it was helpful!
So, I’m guessing other than engine size, the D100 series of mowers are all the same? I have a D130 with a 22.5 HP Engine.
great video
