- In this video I will show you in detail the removal process of a John Deere 165 mower deck. Feel free to ask anything about any 1980 John Deere lawn tractor. If this was help full please like the video it helps a ton. Thanks!
Let me know if you have any questions
When you lower the mow deck, do you do anything else to start mowing? Yes the motor is already running. Thank you
@@alamatngkamote There is a small switch on the upper right of the dash. Flick that ump to engage the mower deck.
Yeah I do have some questions on the adjustment yours is on opposite side mine is on chute side why is that
@@toddburton5548 there's a chance mine is wrong, but I don't think it matters don't quote me on that. It should be fine, if you are unsure, you can look up diagrams of it
hi, not many videos of the hydro 175 i have...a real challenge is changing the damn drive belt. Thanks for vid!!!
Would you like me to make a video on changing the drive belts?
The Deck belts aren't bad it's the drive belt from fan to engine, how about a quick easy way to adjust the deck height and level, apparently these models are from the 80's, and they never die, I just did major overdue tune up.
@@crazydonutface I will absolutely make a video on that! Thanks for watching.
I'm gonna do a video tomorrow that I'd like you to look at and potentially answer some questions about some pulleys and correct position of things, thanks for your help.
I finally got my deck installed and it was easy until installing the drive belt. I have a new. I have an OEM belt which is thicker and stiffer than the one it came with. I ended up using a Jack between the right front wheel and deck to have enough room to install the belt. I did leave off that small bracket and assist spring this time since it is a bitch to install and didn’t seem to make much difference. With new blades, spindles and pulley I can’t believe how much better the tractor cuts grass and it’s much quieter. I replaced the blades with high lift blades and OMG, the mower actually fills the catch bags. Your video was a big help.
Thank you for video, I'm going to try changing blades w/o removing deck
you can do it without removing the deck, though its a little tricky
Deck belt ripped apart and I couldn’t find anything online for the routing. Thank you for saving my sanity
Here’s another one. The lever that adujusts the height of the deck has a spring under it. It’s seems very sloppy. It looks like one end clips to the underside of the trim and the other next to the screw hole for the cover plate. Does that spring really do anything?
No it just keeps the nob from falling, I have it removed and it works just fine.
Does anyone show how deck is mounted in front it has two holes on frame and it has 3 holes on deck
Really grateful there aer not many audio on the 165 now why is the battery not charging just changed the stater and regulator
Hi dear friend. Do you sell the deck 165 Hydro? I need one
I do not, at least not out of my state. But Facebook marketplace has tons of them.
When will you post your next video
Adjust your deck wheels to the highest setting and then you don’t need another person
Good idea, its just faster to have another person if you have one.
Just above the raise/lower strap you had trouble with there is a silverish metal thing that has a snap pin through it (DO NOT remove the snap pin). This thing is attached to a horizontal spring .... that spring is the lift assist spring. Take a pry bar (DO NOT use your hand) and rotate the silverish thing down. It will take some of the pressure off the lifting strap. This is the procedure shown in the owner's manual.
The problem I have installing the deck is putting that small bracket on the right side of the deck back on. The one that has the spring attachment.
You can't get the pully tensioner spring closed?
It’s real tricky but I finally got it back into position after removing it.
Thank you
Would like to see the deck installation video.
I can make a video on it, but really all you have to do is that in reverse, just get something to keep the deck lever down while putting it on the little nubs.
Please do make a video of putting it back on
@@dippo_13 ok man Ill do that
Did you make it yet@@JohnDeere165HydroOfficial
