Hey guys, are you able to link me to an exploded diagram on the JD parts website for this? I definitely think this is the part number I need. It is a JX90CB. Much appreciate the help.

You dont happen to know the exact name of the part? Or it is literally retaining clip?

That is very handy, thank you. I will look up that part. I didnt note one on the other wheel, so will check that out. Always just trimming short grass, but it is lifted often as it is too big to turn as such, need a smaller mower for our small section.

Can somebody please help, was working fine for the year we have owned it, but of late for no apparent reason it is dropping out of the axle grove when lifted, then will get caught behind nut underneath (see second photo), leaving the front and left wheels uneven heights/lop sided (see 3rd pic)...

Last year we had a 1/1000yr drought, it created 3"+ retraction from the borders and concrete and lightning style cracks 1"+ wide across the small 70sqm Kikuyu lawn. Our house also saw the effects with minor cracking in our plaster walls etc due to the settling of the earth, for the most part the...

I do like quality gear, but I need to face reality that I do not need a $900 stihl for trimming the edges of my hardwood garden edging and house. However I do know for string .155/inch is what usually lasts. I have used guitar wire but that will dig into my garden edging and sides under the...

Homelite is a bit of an unknown low end brand here, but its a 25cc curved line trimmer. Its $90usd here. So not a lot of money. Although ive seen a John Deere 25cc which looks in good condition for the same price, but wont have warranty. On that note though, they only come with 1 year warranty...

@bertsmobile1 I really wanted a worm farm and I see how juice is made. But we just dont have the room. We only have 60sqm of Lawn :-) Strangely ours comes out much darker than his, but we have not used any grass clippings yet, just stufff from the garden. Mostly we have tried to fork it into...

@bertsmobile1 thank you kindly sir, you are a wealth of knowledge. If im honest we don't really know what we are doing with the compost. Of course our non meat food and waste scraps go in it, but as my John Deere only collects (no mulcher) I had 70 litres of clippings this last time as it it was...

@bertsmobile1 thanks brother. thats exactly what I wanted to know. Given the patchy areas are in shade of a massive pine and a big native all year round, only getting dappled light. is Fescue a good choice to overseed this area with? Currently we have 5" Kikuyu in sunny parts which looks over...

Because we are based on reactive clay, Im also considering a clay breaker product and over seeding with some fescue in the 100% shadey areas.

Did you sort it Alex? Ive found John Deere are decommissioning their online manual site, but have you tried it just out of chance? I would definitely be contacting them to email you the instructions. I tried the manual site, but no good with model number but the serial may work (It works via...

We definitely have a shorter blade growing in the lawn. The Kikuyu has rebounded back ok but in parts all that is left are vine like runners and mossy turf. Some are very brown and possibly dead. Should these thicker vines be removed? Kikuyu vine remove? Ive also noticed a lot of moss around...

Rivets, thank you for your post. Im sorry you felt the need for sarcasm though. I appreciate its a hard time in your country and Im sad and with you in spirit on it causing stress. I was polite and waited 3 days before a polite bump. My much smaller country has removed Covid for now, basically...

Haha thats a good Idea rivets. The reality the easiest way to get a quality putting surface is artificial, but this is more for aesthetic and possibly chipping. We lived on the Golf Course prior. But this house has better sea views.
