    Drive belt

    Hi. I replaced the drive belt about two years ago on my JD model 441777. The mower is losing forward motion when going uphill. If I "pump" the pedal several times, we get over the hill. Cleaned all debris around pulleys and springs. Runs well on relatively flat surfaces. Any suggestions...

    Axel has too much play

    145/100 series. Bought used. Approximately 12 years old. The external "shield" over the right axel will slide back and forth almost a 1/2 inch. I guess what I'm saying, is that the right axel seems to be coming out from tranny. Still works, but PM is required. Suggestions appreciated. Thanks in...

    Throttle down

    My 145 came with the house I bought. I always throttle down and let it run for a minute or so before turning off. Good or bad for engine? Thanks

    Toro

    I'm thinking about buying a Toro 54" Timecutter from Tractor Supply. Does anyone know if they are built cheaper for TS as I've learned that JD is for say Lowe's? Also, I've never used a o turn and looking online, it said not to mow over more than a 15 degree slope. I've been using my old JD145...

    Front end

    My 145 auto will be getting another new front wheel, again. This is the 3rd one in less than 4 years. My property is hard to mow, tree roots, moles, hilly, the usual. This mower is about 8-10 years old. I bought it from the previous owner of my house when we bought the house. It seems like...

    Belt changing

    Bought the mower and the house 1 year ago. How often should the belt be replaced? Appears to be in good shape now. I have probably put 80-90 hours on it since I've had it. I don't know if it has ever been replaced. Approximately 420 hours total on machine now. Thanks for any feedback.

    Home Depot/Lowes

    I'm thinking that I once read a comment here about not buying a John Deere from Lowes or Home Depot. Does anyone know if there is some difference in the mower compared to buying it from a JD dealer? Maybe it just had something to do with service, can't remember. Thanks

    oil leakage

    I have oil leaking from my B&S 22 HP engine. This just suddenly occurred. The engine has 400 hours on it. It looks like it is leaking around the oil filter. I changed the oil and filter thinking maybe a bad filter, but it is still leaking. Does anyone know, what looks like a square head set...

    PTO engage or disengage?

    Bought a house and the JD 145 automatic from previous owner. My question is, is it better to leave the blades running between short passes to do touch up mowing or should I shut it off. I always come to a full stop before engaging the PTO. In other words, I feel that there is more wear and tear...

    blade replacement

    I know I will search threads, looked elsewhere and didn't see that it is a reverse thread with bolts, but they don't want to turn either way. Any suggestions on breaking them loose? Thanks

    Tune up kits

    Just joined Lawn World and also just bought a house with 2.6 acres of lawn to be mowed. I also bought the sellers John Deere 145 Automatic. I think it's about 10 years old, no manual. I've been told that you can buy tune up kits at Lowes, etc. Used it twice and was cutting very uneven. Got to...
