- I show you how to install my John Deere 46" Snow Blade on my L130 JD Mower, for the first snow in 2019.
Go here for my installation in 2021: • INSTALLING & OPERATING...
Go here for my video on the initial assembly of the blade: • Assembly & Installatio... Go Here for Home Depot listing: www.homedepot....
Thanks for the video John, it was a big help. My son bought a JD blade for his riding mower, the instructions weren't much help. A local JD dealership wanted $300 to assemble this blade for him. Well that wasn't happening, thanks to a few you tube videos, I got it together. Only problem here in Delaware the weather has been in the 50's and 60's for January. If we don't get any snow, my 20 year old son will not be happy! Great Video!
John, as I pointed out, I used to write installation manuals & I still had difficulty following JD's! So, glad I could help! Here in Missouri, our weather varies all over the place & some Winters I don't even put it on, whereas this Winter, I have already. So, watch what you wish for? Thanks, for your kind comments!
I just bought a blade for my JD tractor.Your video is very helpful.Thanks!
Well John. We got snow about two inches and ur advice help me out big time. It never missed a lick plowing snow so again thanks for the help I appreciate it
Glad you got it on, Dale! We may get snow, tonight & tomorrow & it looks like you may get more? I changed my oil last week & am ready to go. Might be putting the blade on this weekend & will make a video on using it, if I do. Did you make a video, or can you, of yours, in use?
I dodged a bullet on this arrangement. I ordered and received a plow kit for my e180, after realizing that several bolts were missing from the kit, returned it. In retrospect, knowing what I know now about the e180, it’s a fantastic 25HP mower that mows like a champ and has tons of power, more then it needs really but is anything but a push blade tractor, it’s so light and with a 12 gauge stamped frame and light duty transaxle, I’m certain that the missing hardware was a blessing, as it prevented me from ending the life of the transaxle way before it’s time.
I've had no problem with the trans and it is 17 yrs. old. But to each his own? Here is my latest video of installing it, if interested:

Ive had this same 130 series mower with no blade for about 14 years now. I also have a nice Craftsman snowblower that is over 20 years old that runs like its brand new. The only problem is the snowblower doesn't do good against the the 2 or 3 foot piles the township piles at the end of my driveway when its wet and heavy.
Im just curious if you have had to use your set up with the tractor and blade to push say 12-24 inches of wet snow and how well it does it do?
Ive thought about adding a blade to my mower but id only really use it for slushy and heavy wet snowfalls. Or when the township plows go by amd put huge piles infront of the driveway. Your thoughts.
Thank you sir wanted to see how it all worked will likely get one looks great!
SC, it works great for the price! Thanks for commenting!
Never mind ,got my answer,thanks again.
Here’s one thing he should mention is the mechanism like every TH-camr should explain about .
I am thinking about putting this on my JD D110 but it is expensive new plus tire chains and wheel weights. I also don't know how long the tranny will hold up as it is a hydro. Right now I use my old Craftsman with manual tranny but shifting and raising the plow is killing my shoulder joint replacement.
Great job sir that was very helpful.
Glad I could help, Jacob! Hopefully, you have yours on, especially if you are in the NE USA?
@@harrison4803 no I don't even have one yet but I want to get one.
Well John we don’t have much snow here but after I talk to u I had to. Replace my gas line
You mean your gas line on your mower? We got 8-10" on Ground Hog Day & I made a video, if interested: th-cam.com/video/_6_HGBRjJXw/w-d-xo.html
Yeah when it got cold and that it snapped in two pieces on my tractor
@@daleschroeder8661 Wow, Dale, how cold did it get up there?
@@harrison4803 it was only down at 10 above so yeah that cold lol
Can a stop be added to put it at certain height to spread compost?
Nicely down cool video thank you for uploading very helpful!
Glad I could help, MM816. Surely you are not putting on a snow blade yet, however?
@@harrison4803 no i have not... i usually have people plow my snow for me
@@mowingman816 Just curious, MM816, why you are even watching these kinds of videos? :) Or, are you located where they are predicting snow this week?
@@harrison4803 wow really? Why upload a video if you are gonna be a smart ass about it?? maybe there's people in this world that like watching videos such as this but I'll wont now cause you are such a smart ass! au revoir!
@@mowingman816 SORRY, SORRY, SORRY! That was not my intent, at all! I APOLOGIZE PROFUSELY! i was solely, just curious?
Nice blade does a good job.
Thanks, Danny! Did you get any snow down your way?
No snow lots of rain and cold air a guy that works with me at the fire dept went up north all most to Canada got lot,s of snow.
Yeah I have that together but the first ones is giving me fits so what do u do about that I have pins too
Dale, where are you at in the video?
I’m live in Dewitt Iowa by the Mississippi do u know where that’s at
@@harrison4803 I’m live in Iowa by the Mississippi do u know where it is
River
@@daleschroeder8661 I googled you and you're near Chicago. I'm just West of St. Louis. Actually I meant at what point, in the video, are you having trouble, so I can try to help you?
Well hi John. Could u show how to take the snow blade off what pins to pull
Watch this video, Dale, & it should show you, of course it is in reverse. Let me know, if you still need help?

Did you have to add any weights to the back end of the mower? Also did you take the mowing deck off? Thinking about buying one.
Jeremy, I left the mower deck on to provide weight. I also put two 10lb. weights under the seat. Regular weights on the back would be best but I am too cheap to buy them yet. My tires have some tread on them, which is important.
I've heard many people say it didn't include all the hardware. Did you have to buy any and if so what did you need to get?
Watch my installation video here:
th-cam.com/video/l5usbd99VxE/w-d-xo.html
At about 9:00 I indicate that I got 4 extra locknuts. Read down through the comments. One guy had 2 left hitch plates & HD sent him a right one. Some had a few bolts missing, also. So there are some issues. Some of the bolts, nuts, etc. probably are common parts. HD seems to be very receptive to replacing parts but it will take time. In general, it seems no major parts are missing for the most part. But this is based on a limited survey.
Question. Does that bracket on there can it be on the tractor all the time ?
Yes, Dale, I have never taken mine off!
So you don’t have to remove the deck to use the snow blade? Also, i have gravel that is pretty much flattened down. Would it work on that?
Eric, I think it would work on gravel. You set the little sled-like things (can't remember the name) off the ground to protect the blade so they will drag in the gravel a little bit. I leave my deck on for extra traction but I don't have any weights & my tires don't have much tread. The deck will get wet but a lot of people get their decks wet when they wash the grass off of their decks anyway.
We have gravel works great
@@katierylko3867 Thanks for setting us straight, Katie!
Can you tell me the name of the pins you used to attach the shovel? I can't find mine.
Are you talking about the large pin laying on the floor at 3:09, called Channel Pivot Pin (C)? Or the 2 pins on the Pivot Support, Clevis Pins, also C, laying on the floor at 1:30?
Good video, thank you.
Did the prakets that are on the tractor come with blade assembly or did you get them somewhere else?
The brackets came with the blade, Jay. Thanks, for the comments!
my john deere blade will only raise 3 inches in height...can you tell me what the height of yours is when in raised and locked position?...
Go to my video of installing, at about 39:30 (don't click on these numbers because it takes you to someone else video) to watch me raise it. It may be nearly 12" I have not put it on yet, so can't measure it.

I'm having the same trouble turning the plow. I've greased it and still having difficulty. If you found anj easy way to allow the plow to turn from left to right please let me know. Thanks! And good luck with the snow! Thanks for putting a helpful video for others!
The manual says to lubricate the "release grip", & "angle lock bars". Also, adjust the "cable mount bracket". Did you do all of this? We haven't had enough snow, here just West of St. Louis that I haven't put it on yet! :)
@@harrison4803 No I haven't, I just lubricated the rod that it slides up and down on. I will have to look into what you're referring to. I appreciate the tips! No snow here either, supposed to have some in the next couple of days, near the Jersey shore. Thanks again John!
@@alwaysbeeurself I only lubricated there, also, but you need to try the others. Good luck & let us know what works!
Thanks, big help!
Glad I could help! Are you already getting ready for snow, JJ?
@@harrison4803 yup😊
Thanks John,do you leave the deck on all season?
Yes, I do, Ron, it seems to add weight for traction! Especially, as my tires wear and I am too cheap to buy new ones or chains or weights.
Would this fit a troy bilt bronco riding mower???
AM, it fits John Deere S110-S180, E100-E180, D100-D170, LA100-LA175, L100-L130, 102-190C, G100-G110. Don't know about any other models? Go here to review it: www.lowes.com/pd/John-Deere-46-in-Residential-Snow-Blade/999929724
Would that fit a d140

Yeah I have to get new every two years
Are you talking about the driveway coating?
Because there so much pressure coming from the weight of the sinder blocks that it makes a difference in plowing lol
U don’t get stuck to much
Well I have a cement driveway. So it makes it fun
Yeah
Well I have a 19 hp. Brigs and straton big one lol
Well, mine is bigger than yours! :) I have a 23 HP, 48" Deck. I use some weight lifting weights, under my seat & that's about it. My tires are close to bald, too, so I do a lot of slipping!
@@harrison4803 well yeah that’s what’s the blocks r for the boy chains them on back of the tractor and that’s all we have for weight
JAsN
Did u get that text I sent
For the blade ?
Yes, it can stay on. It doesn't interfere with anything else, from my experience.
Well thanks for that information I didn’t know if u can leave it on at all times so that puts my mind at ease. All I would have to do is just disconnect the blade then right
@@daleschroeder8661 No, disconnect the bracket, that has the pins on it, and that attaches to the permanent plates.
No I can’t I don’t know how
@@harrison4803 p
why it is so difficult to raise and low down the blade?
You may need to put some grease or oil on where the sliding rod attaches to the angular bracket (at about 4:20).
John H it is not unlocking easily. Once it is unlocked, then it moves freely up and down. But not easily unlocking!
@@kumarsriskanda742 It seems to be related to moving rod. Did you put grease on the rod that moves through the black tube up to the handle? Somewhere, you need some grease, it seems, unless you need a cable adjustment, maybe?
Yeah at least lol
Because of the weight lol
Remove your mower deck.
Have tried it both ways & it seems to give me better traction. I'm too cheap to get new tires, weights &/or chains! :)
