I have a LA130 21 hp. Briggs and Straten. $60.00 for the tune up kit a the John Deere Dealership. Also has the two quarts of oil in it. The oil drain is on the opposite side of the oil filter. Draining the oil is a pain too. 😫. Shawn.
Great tutorial Hank. I remember when one of these went for sale at the old farm and I didn't grab it. damn thing sold for $90 because the owner couldn't get it running. turned out it was just the seat safety switch!
Just FYI it appeared you screwed the dip stick in to check the oil level .. Koehler and this specific model says to turn counter clockwise until the threads click .. then check oil level.
As long as you fill it to the full mark it’s not a big deal. Splitting hairs. That maybe only accounts for a quarter f the cross hatch area so if it’s full screwed all the way in it will still be in spec
I would have to agree with you but thought I would mention it. Actually Koehler is said to be sensitive to over-fill so your method might give some cushion. Thanks
My JD manual says only a few drops on the (admittedly much smaller) air prefilter. Should I be saturating it like you say here? For reference, I'm dealing with a JD STX38.
Hank. What would cause my 23hp Kohler JD L150 (APPROX 8 YRS OLD) with 499 hours on it to diesel when shutting down? Also, how do you clear the flashing meter showing service engine ?
Just a note, you don’t have to saturate the prefilter for the air filter. A smaller amount will do just fine.
He's a great teacher. He should be teaching small engines at a local community college. Very well spoken and good common sense.

no prob, ive heard that as well. My method still should leave it in cross-hatch on dipstick

Luke's Amateur Hour go with what your manual says for sure
What was the spark plug number
Great video keep it up!
will do!
Great video. Just picked one of these up. How hard is it to change the fuel lines?
It’s not bad you’ll have to pull the deck off to make it easier.
jhon dear looks good
Someone gave me a tractor just like this. Can you do a video on how to level the deck? There are no videos with yhis type of L series.
I’ll see what I can do
I have this same lawn mower and it just won’t crank. I’ve done all these things and all it does it just turn over. Never cranks
Good Video
Ours smokes a little on startup as well, no big deal.
seems to be a kohler thing

Ted Buriak carb might need to be cleaned out as for the meter maybe disconnect and reconnect battery. Not sure mine doesn't have that feature.
Correct my last to read LT 130.
They have oil filters? F-aan-c-y.
yup, some of the higher end commercial grade pushers do as well
L130
