Didn't help me get it started, but your video helped me eliminate several potential sources of the problem. Learned more about my mower in a few minutes than in all the time spent with my manual. Now, I can speak more intelligently with the local service department. Thanks!
Amazing video, this was exactly what I needed! My D140 wouldn’t start after stopping. I cleaned the switch electrodes in the plug as your video suggested and the tractor started immediately! Wow that just saved me a drive to the shop and $$$. Much, much, much thanks!
Hey, thanks,for your video! You inspired me to tackle the brake switch. I removed it, dusted off the contacts and got out a spray lubricant that said you can use it on electrical switches. Used it on the brake switch as well as the starter switch key hole. Fussed with them a bit and reinstalled the brake switch. The mower started up like there was never a problem. That is a strangely clean mower btw. Thanks again.
Wolfeman1966, you are a natural at this video troubleshooting. You told us how the problem was encountered, what you did to troubleshoot it, and how you solved the problem. Some vloggers will skip straight from the problem, to what they discovered to be the solution. This gives the impression there was only one culprit and therefore only one solution to the problem. Too many avenues open when wondering if they tried other things as well. YOURS IS PERFECT!! I'm going to go give it a try! THANKS!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
THEARKANSASMARINE Thank you for saying that. It’s made my day. When I get a problem in life I think of others going through the same wondering how to repair.... so by me doing it from the start of the problem you guys watching see what I mess up on or don’t from the start. My lesson is... let me mess up so you guys don’t.👍🏽
That was the problem, thanks. I took my mower apart to coat the body with bed liner and couldn't figure out where those wires went because the switch fell off its mount. Big help, thanks.
Holy Moses if I didn't put that same stupid sensor back on the wrong side of the pedal and thats why it wouldn't start...my friend I believe I owe you a beer! Thank you!
I expect this mower will last several seasons with decent care. th-cam.com/users/postUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_Eg4dhHTae3LkN also recommend Also, I ran across the problem with it not starting the 2nd time I used it. There is a safety switch which is pushed in by the chute or mulching piece being attached to the deck. I took the cover off and it wouldn't start. Put it back on, no problem. It takes only a minute with 2 easily accessible wingnuts and no tools. This mower starts up first crank each time and it is a joy to use. It also mows in reverse by putting the key to the reverse area after starting and pushing in the triangular button. It will stay in reverse mode until you turn it off. All in all, for my homeowner needs, I really like this mower-and at 70 bucks a cut here in Miami, it's already more than 1/3 paid for itself in a month.
Many thanks, had a problem with this for a while. You explained it well. Mine is 8 years old, still going well, last year I stripped the cutter deck as it was getting rusty & paint peeling, got it shot blasted at a car wheel refurb place and hand painted it in Rustoleum yellow. Looks good, an easy job.
Thank you i fix my d100 John deer it was not the wire from the clutch that you show and it was not the fuse it was the two wires under the fuse one purple and white i clean them up and it starts thanks again and merry Christmas and a happy new year
wolfeman1966 My tractor started after I changed the spark plug (fouled up & never been changed), performed an oil change (too dark) and brushed the connections like you did above. I now know what else to look for if it shuts off again. Thanks again.
That’s great.👍🏽 I think once we see what, how and why things work... we understand more of how to repair and save money 💰. Well done and that’s for sharing..😊
@@wolfeman1966 I checked the brake switch , it was good. Turned out the contacts on my ignition switch terminals were gunked up and dirty so I wiped the male contacts down, used toothpicks to dig out the gunk from the female contacts, and hit them all with brake cleaner and blew them out with compressed air. Started up like a champ!
I was at wits end! The exact same thing happened to me. I replaced the drive belt, took it for a test spin and shut it off. Went to restart it. Nothing! I did meter checks on solenoid, battery, etc. I replaced solenoid and key switch, and charged the battery, rechecked everything again with the meter, same results! Nothing! I did as you instructed and BOOM! Started right up. Thanks! Dang safety switches anyway! Now I’m wondering if I can by pass that switch permanently without causing any other damage.🤔
So maybe I spoke too soon. The mower started again this morning but after shutting it off and restarting twice, it will not crank. The solenoid won’t even click. I load tested the battery, it’s good, I cleaned the switch plugged it back in, then I by passed it again, nothing. I pulled the pressure switch from under the seat, cleaned and reinstalled, nothing. The 20 amp fuse is good still nothing. Any suggestions?
So I go back and check and recheck. No positive results. So I decide to start back at the beginning. I reinstall the old solenoid and check everything with a meter again. Same results. Reached up and turned the key and she started right up. I have no answers. I did exactly what I did before when installing the “new solenoid “ . It runs great. Thanks for your tip though. I’d never have gotten this far without it. We’ll see how the rest goes.
It seems like the seat safety switch and the safety switch when the brake pedal is engaged can both be the culprit quite frequently. Clean the terminals out and make sure they are not loose. Also, if there's no fuel in the small fuel filter area you can blow into where you put the gas in to clear any possible clogs in the fuel line. You have to blow hard though. Hope this helps someone.
My D130 did that a couple days ago. I shorted the solenoid and it started right up so I new that worked. No power from that purple wire to the solenoid though. next I will try that brake switch. It seems it has to be either that or the key switch at this point.
Thank you that was exactly the problem. Super pissed at John Deere this happened on my mower with 5 hours on it. yes 5 hours! I thought I bought a mower that cost more but I got quality for the extra money. I guess not
Lindsay Cooper you will find that JD are not our friends... they just want the profits. Anyway I’m glad I could help.👍🏽 Subscribe to my channel I have done other videos that may help you in owning a JDmower😁
fernando g. aguirre Well yes mine most definitely needs it , but then I really have no time for that. Mother Nature normally helps me out a lot, seems she’s the one making my grass grow.👍🏽😁
All you gotta do is unplug the buttons wherever you see a purple wire follow it up to the grey push button and unplug it theirs no need to plug any wire into the purple wires to cross them or whatever no need to
Thanks for the video, sadly enough this wasn't my problem, I did a service, everything was fine and all of a sudden it died on me...turned over everything working but wouldn't start had spark
I have an E180, won’t start no nothing I’m going to check the pressure switch , when I get home, I took the battery out to get it tested when I leave work.... stay tuned.....👍🏾
Got it running! Fuse was bad! Just to look at the fuse it was not broken at the typical spot, but it was broken inside at the bottom where it connects to the fuse holder! It had a hairline split! Replaced it and she fired right up!👍🏾
I have a John Deere F525 it rolls over it rolls over it rolls over but I have no spark and no one shows me where the safety switches are I'm going to try your video and see if my F525 will spark but I miss my baby deer and I would love to get some spark out of it thank you
Clean or replace your spark plug, clean your carburetor, filter etc Follow cables to see if the have a terminal that could get dirty or damaged, unplug and clean then replace. Check to make sure every terminal has a good connection. Micro switches need cleaning too. Sorry it’s all maintenance 😬👍🏽
Nice problem solve, but a little under hood maintenance could have avoided this in the first place. I am a little anal about keeping mine clean under the hood and never a problem. That being said I like your diagnosis.
Keith Moore agreed, but I’m always busy and the unit is always outside. I try to keep my eyes on things but it’s great to find faults and resolve them for the sake of others..😀
Mine was clogged fuel line. Took off line from Csrb and had no fuel coming through. Backed my way up and it wasn't getting past Filter. Took Filter off and it came flowing. About 45 minutes to get all parts off (Cover to get to carb) and back on including fix. RA 4-8-2007
Rita Gorka have you watched my full video..? This shows you what it could be. If you are still having problems after cleaning those terminals. Let me know
@@wolfeman1966 Good afternoon got a new battery. I thing I need a stronger battery but could not find a stronger one. The cca is 350 for the old one and could only find another 350cca and still doing the same thing. I have to let it set around 5 mins before it will start when it is hot. Thank you for helping me
You didn’t mention if it turned over but wouldn’t start, or if it wouldn’t even turn over. I’d like to know that because mine turns over but won’t fire.
Pedro todos estos juguetes ¿ dónde los venden ? Miro qué hay correcciones , yo fui niño y nunca vi tantos juguetes juntos ....no sabía qué habían almanaques , revistas de juguetes , DIOS ES BUENO CON ALGUNOS NIÑOS
TheFOHMan they are either switch wires from the yellow PTO switch ( if pulled up will not allow the engine to start) Or the seat micro switch ( if you don’t sit down on the seat it will not start) I’ve not checked on this but knowing that the foot pedal needs to be depressed to allow it to start... but there are many other safety’s that have to be checked at this time before the engine will start..👍🏽 Hope that helps
Have a john deere 100 series....very slow almost no crank, even when attached to engine start battery charger. You turn the key and it kind of does a half crank, then seems to get stuck...anyone have any suggestions?
Spike when was the last time you changed your battery..? That has happened to me even with a charger on. I found the battery wasn’t holding the charge . Replaced the battery and it worked perfectly. If you have had the battery longer than 2 years ... get a new. Hope that helps 👍🏽
Bent Elbow then it wasn’t either. I would check connections unplug, clean and move onto the next connection. Really Sometimes it’s just the simple things like dirt on a connection. Have you also checked your micro switches. Seat, foot peddle,( to start) under right back side underneath...etc Slow pace but a satisfying result Good luck 👍🏽
@@wolfeman1966 yep I've checked all my connections, tested for spark, taken the carby off replaced the battery.. it's turning over it's just not firing and then it seems to flood the spark plug.. time to spend some money on a pro i think
Bent Elbow is it the same as mine..? If not what’s the model? Have you checked the oil? Checked the PTO switch as if that burns out it can stick in the on mode. The engine won’t start because it thinks you have engaged the cutting deck. Try replacing that first. You can always take it back if it’s not. I have don a video on testing and replacement. Let me know how you get on 👍🏽🤔
@@wolfeman1966 same motor my man.. mine is a LA145.. was yours turning over just not firing or was it not even eganging the starter because it didn't think the clutch was depressed? Mine cranks it just doesn't start.. It did for 3 seconds when I bashed the carby so I'm hoping cleaning it out will help.. if not then I have no shame paying someone to do it..
Bent Elbow I hear you. But I’m like a jJack Russell , once I start I have to find the fault, even if I have to walk away for a couple of hours, and think 🤔 about what I’ve done and what I could do.. But your right once the pto clutch is pull out the engine just clicks. I have a older 100 series that I’ve bastardized the wires, disconnecting micro switches as they have been problematic. There’s a red and white cable coming from the positive battery lead which leads to a block with a red going to the key and a red, with black line on going to another block. I had to take off the first block and connect the red and red / black line together Then to start it , terminate the red coming from the battery. I never leave the the one from the battery connect. Sorry long winded but it worked for me. Just trying to give you idea of things to check.
Took switch off cleaned with wire brush. Five starts later. Then nothing again! Pulled switch back off. Metal tang broke inside on the purple sid of the connector. Used jump wire fired right up. J D has crap switches. Motor great! When it runs. Must make their money selling parts. Chinese crap switches. I will bypass everyone if that what it Takes to keep it running. Mine is a LA 130 model with the 21 hp motor 48 inch cut. Runs great when it starts up. Man, It's makes me mad at the shit quality. J D has went to Hell! With the rest of America. Shawn.
I. An agree that JD are selling us crap parts and Ford, Chevy etc.. China’s infiltration in our parts have messed America up. The sooner we get back to made in the USA and stop buying China quality the better.👍🏽
I took off all the purple wiring and this junk of garbage is still a piece of shit because the wiring and the new ignition not wanting to short the new solenoid and start up from the key instead of a screwdriver so for now my l110 is a piece of shit with a good engine

Can you run the mower with just the bypass wire connected to the purple wires or will it harm the motor or operation. In some way.
Yes you can
It’s only a switch wire.👍🏽
No live connection so all good
All you gotta do is unplug the buttons wherever you see a purple wire follow it up to the grey push button and unplug it theirs no need to plug any wire into the purple wires to cross them or whatever no need to
Oh yeah and jump your black/plus white wires in the solenoid relay and you are set without safety

TheFOHMan they are either switch wires from the yellow PTO switch ( if pulled up will not allow the engine to start)
Or the seat micro switch ( if you don’t sit down on the seat it will not start)
I’ve not checked on this but knowing that the foot pedal needs to be depressed to allow it to start... but there are many other safety’s that have to be checked at this time before the engine will start..👍🏽
Hope that helps
Hour meter works even with no battery installed
EZ4U2Say11 interesting, probably a small battery inside.
Will check tomorrow as it’s raining heavy at this moment..👍🏽
Have a john deere 100 series....very slow almost no crank, even when attached to engine start battery charger. You turn the key and it kind of does a half crank, then seems to get stuck...anyone have any suggestions?
Spike when was the last time you changed your battery..?
That has happened to me even with a charger on.
I found the battery wasn’t holding the charge .
Replaced the battery and it worked perfectly.
If you have had the battery longer than 2 years ... get a new.
Hope that helps 👍🏽
Thanks, will give that a try.
Genius
Travis Sakowski thanks 😊
More a process of elimination Dr Watson ..😂👍🏽
so, your clutch switch was bad or were you just thinking the brake was on the left?
Yes I kept calling it a brake 😂
My mind run but my mouth runs quicker.... 👍🏽
thanks
Cw Pemberton glad it helped 👍🏽
Mine cranks but it doesn’t start
Yeah not helping mine.. new battery, new spark plugs, engine turns but won't fire.. tries to start with aero start being sprayed but won't run
Bent Elbow then it wasn’t either.
I would check connections unplug, clean and move onto the next connection.
Really
Sometimes it’s just the simple things like dirt on a connection.
Have you also checked your micro switches.
Seat, foot peddle,( to start) under right back side underneath...etc
Slow pace but a satisfying result
Good luck 👍🏽
@@wolfeman1966 yep I've checked all my connections, tested for spark, taken the carby off replaced the battery.. it's turning over it's just not firing and then it seems to flood the spark plug.. time to spend some money on a pro i think
Bent Elbow is it the same as mine..?
If not what’s the model?
Have you checked the oil?
Checked the PTO switch as if that burns out it can stick in the on mode. The engine won’t start because it thinks you have engaged the cutting deck.
Try replacing that first.
You can always take it back if it’s not.
I have don a video on testing and replacement.
Let me know how you get on 👍🏽🤔
@@wolfeman1966 same motor my man.. mine is a LA145.. was yours turning over just not firing or was it not even eganging the starter because it didn't think the clutch was depressed?
Mine cranks it just doesn't start.. It did for 3 seconds when I bashed the carby so I'm hoping cleaning it out will help.. if not then I have no shame paying someone to do it..
Bent Elbow I hear you. But I’m like a jJack Russell , once I start I have to find the fault, even if I have to walk away for a couple of hours, and think 🤔 about what I’ve done and what I could do..
But your right once the pto clutch is pull out the engine just clicks.
I have a older 100 series that I’ve bastardized the wires, disconnecting micro switches as they have been problematic.
There’s a red and white cable coming from the positive battery lead which leads to a block with a red going to the key and a red, with black line on going to another block.
I had to take off the first block and connect the red and red / black line together
Then to start it , terminate the red coming from the battery.
I never leave the the one from the battery connect.
Sorry long winded but it worked for me.
Just trying to give you idea of things to check.
Took switch off cleaned with wire brush. Five starts later. Then nothing again! Pulled switch back off. Metal tang broke inside on the purple sid of the connector. Used jump wire fired right up. J D has crap switches. Motor great! When it runs. Must make their money selling parts. Chinese crap switches. I will bypass everyone if that what it Takes to keep it running. Mine is a LA 130 model with the 21 hp motor 48 inch cut. Runs great when it starts up. Man, It's makes me mad at the shit quality. J D has went to Hell! With the rest of America. Shawn.
I. An agree that JD are selling us crap parts and Ford, Chevy etc..
China’s infiltration in our parts have messed America up.
The sooner we get back to made in the USA and stop buying China quality the better.👍🏽
Oh and glad you got it mowing again..👍🏽
The hour meter isn’t hooked to the engine battery.
Jason Nygaard ??
for only 50 hours that thing looks like hell. do keep it out side
Luke College yes kept outside
No storage area 😱
This guy sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger
I took off all the purple wiring and this junk of garbage is still a piece of shit because the wiring and the new ignition not wanting to short the new solenoid and start up from the key instead of a screwdriver so for now my l110 is a piece of shit with a good engine
too closeups
ronald ferreira sorry for that. It’s hard to video with one hand and do the work as well.
But hope it helped some where along the line.
This totally worked for my D170. Thank you so much!
Jason Bredle thanks for letting everyone know.
