h. huh h
If your trying to adjust it to 2 inch why set it at 2 and half is that to count for the blade height ?
@@mattbeckhouse1016 yes the blades and deck are not even.
@DIYJIM to easy thanks mate 👍 I done mine and now I don't have to double cut any more thanks for the video it was a massive help
This was excellent and made a 100% difference in how my lawn looked. Night and Day. I never would have thought that leveling a deck would be so easy and fast.
Glad I could help thanks for watching
I watched several other videos on this subject. I found yours much more I formative and much more instructive. Each step made sense. I am a retired high school math instructor and believe you are a great teacher
To the point, clear discussion and good audio, Well done. As a plus, no waste of time introducing a dog that we really don't care about.
glad I could help
I just wanted to say thank you for making the john deere diy playlist. Thanks to your instructions and guidance, I've been able to get my s100 in fighting form for the mowing season. Thank you
Great to hear! Thanks for watching
Your one of the few guys who get it right.. Your lawn must look AWESOME!
thanks for the nice comment
I did it exactly to his video my tire pressures in the back are 10 psi The front 14 psi If that’s true take a measuring tape i measure from the garage concrete up. Along mower, blades deck where it supposed to be on 3 it’s 2 1/4 inches. ?What’s up with that measurement. Should be at 3 inches?
This video is very well done. I was off when balancing the deck. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It's hard to find good instructional videos like this!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you very much for the comment.
Great video, thumbs up and subscribed! My S120 was just delivered and sure enough the deck wasn't level. I read how to do it in the manual then found your video. Very helpful to watch you do it before I did mine. All went well and I like my new lawn tractor. I also have 1/2 acre and think the Series 100 line is the right fit. Thanks!
And thank you for your many years of service. I joined the Army right after high school, 1966-69. Vietnam Vet 1968.
Awesome Hooah thank you for subscribing and thank you also for your service
Thanks for mentioning that last grease fitting. Your videos are so helpful. I didn’t know anything about my new (used) JD lawnmower before I started watching your video, and today I greased all the fittings, dropped the deck, pulled the old belt (ordered a new one), and sharpened the blades. Tomorrow I will redo the bearings so they can get grease. I think it’s lots of fun. Thanks, L100 Owner :))
Glad I can help you with your mower. I would not worry about your bearings I think they will last a long time like that. Being sealed
Jim, thanks for the DIY video. I watched and decided to tackle the job just as you presented. I had done it once before but I used 2x3’s joe blocks and it was way off. Today I cut 2” blocks and had to some serious raising on the rear, but it’s now even and cutting nicely. Thanks again.
really glad i could help, thank you very much for the comment.let me know if there is a video you would like me to make about the John Deere, looking for ideas that my subscribers would like to see.

Thank you for this vid. One thing that surprised me was how a few PSI in the rear tire affected the deck height. Just one of the many things I learned from this clean, informative, fun video.
Glad I could help have a good summer
I enjoyed the video. I kind of saved some time when I leveled a deck. I cut TWO 2" blocks and marked them "side". I also cut ONE 1-13/16" block and marked it "front". No need to go back and lower the front. Just what I did.
Awesome glad I could help
Like the other guy said in the troubleshooting comments....these videos are what TH-cam should be. Excellent instructions I know I can follow. I believe I can get the mower running good again. Thank you so much.
Your welcome again thanks for leaving me a comment
Just leveled my D110, this video made it easy. Thanks
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching
Thanks for this video. Yesterday's mowing produced the smoothest cut I've gotten this year. Someone commented about calibrating the blade height with weight in the seat to simulate the operator's weight, 200 pounds in my case. A stack of fertilizer bags, dog food bags worked great for this. This trick made about 1/4 difference in the actual blade height.
I wanted to shoot for 3.5 inch actual grass height. For leveling and calibration purposes, calibrating with blocks 3.0 inches tall and calibrating with the control lever on the 3.25 inch setting, the desired grass height was achieved This includes allowing for my 200 pound mass in the driver seat. When mowing, the control lever is set for 3.5 inches.
When leveling the mower deck, jostling the mower deck up and down a few times while performing the height adjustment gave best results. Only one calibration block is needed for this. It is important to check the deck height back and forth between the two sides 2-3 times. Once the side adjustments are satisfactory. The front adjustment can be done using the same calibration block, eyeballing the bottom rim of the deck to be about 1/4 inch below the top surface of the cal block.
Now I have a method for quickly checking deck height and level quickly any time it might be needed. Thank you for the video.
Thanks for all the good ideas and instruction. I really like putting something on the seat that is the same weight as the rider.
Fixed! I watched your video and corrected the uneven cut within 20 minutes. Followed all your steps. Thank you!!
Glad it helped!
I was searching for this info after noticing my hangers were opposite. One was straight down the other was backwards but in this video yours were the same way. I did watch your deck removal video and saw the both should be straight. Thanks for the video
Correct they should be straight good catch
I plan on doing this later this week! Thank you!
Glad I could help thanks for watching my video and thanks for subscribing
Thank you! 60 year old widow did it herself 🙌 thought it was above my skill level ❤️thank you
Awesome glad I could help
Thanks Jim! I always had my dad {he passed away in 2009} do things like this for me. So I was looking around on youtube and found your channel and thanks to you I leveled my deck. Your instructions are so clear, even I could do this.
Awesome glad I could help. I’m sure your Dad would be proud
@@DIYJIM He would be... I'm even proud of myself and that's because of your video(s). Would the deck being not level, make the lawnmower drive bumpy? That's what I was searching for and found your video. I couldn't get out to mow after I leveled it because we had a storm. My tires were low too!
Next I'm gonna adjust those little wheels, clean my filter and check my spark plug...
@@febeleven my mower rides rough also you can try putting a little less air in the tires but it will ride a little lower
@@DIYJIM Thanks, I'll try that. I think some of it could be the ground is hard, I noticed the other day when he mowed his, it looked bumpy.
I wish I would have found your channel a few years back but I guess it’s never too late. I’ve learned a lot from your channel. Thank you.
No problem glad to help thanks for subscribing if you did
Jim ... Thanks for the clear and concise instructions... I did it the way another video said to do it and I was still scalping my yard. Thanks again.
glad i could help thank you for the comment. Hope you have a great summer
I finally got around to leveling my old john deere deck, and it cuts much better now. It was lower in the front, and didn't cut all the grass. I would have to overlap cuts but It's much better now even in heavy grass. I have an lx176 but it's pretty similar. Thanks!
Awesome glad I could help
Thank you for teaching this 28 year old girl how to maintain and fix her lawnmower. I would never be able to keep it mowing without your videos!
Welcome thanks for watching April
Thanks for the video and for demonstrating exactly what you are reading in the manual. I just wanted to add that this advice also holds true for the E100 series. (Pgs. 20-21 in my manual).
Thank you good to know I’m sure your comment might help someone thanks for watching
Thanks for this video, I have the d105 and this helped get the cut more level. The 1/8" lower on the front bolt helped. Thanks again.
Glad it helped, thank you for the nice comment
Thanks a lot for taking the time and sharing, much appreciated!
glad i could help thank you for commenting
Thank you for the very informative and helpful information.
Glad it was helpful!
Very good down-to-earth directions. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks man! Just bought my first lawn tractor and subscribed. Great detail in your videos! 🙏
Thanks, hope they help you out
Appreciating your d110 videos! Can't wait to watch you replace and or adjust the spindle brakes. The manual is confusing. Thanks for your help
Thanks glad I could help
Excellent instruction. This is why YT was created, imo.
Six years ago, I bought a D105 with only five hours run time on Craigslist. Guy and his family were moving across country into a condo and needed to get rid of it quickly. I gave him $900 for it. One of the best purchases I’ve made.
Thanks for watching
Great video. Has anyone else noticed that the one rear bolt is on backwards? They should hang straight down not at an angle. I think you explain that in another video about mower deck. Great content. Just refurbished my 2nd JD 100 series for friends thanks to your instructions. Keep up the excellent work!
I noticed that when I edited the video. Thanks for watching
Great video, Jim! I wish I could keep my mower as clean as yours always is.
My mower is not always that clean. Thanks for watching
Thanks for the video. Going to give this a shot with my E180 as the yard has been uneven (not very pleasant looking!).
Hope my video helps ya
I’ve got an almost identical lawn tractor like yours. I really appreciate all the how to videos! I’m now tackling all the maintenance myself.
Glad I could help thanks for watching
Great video, thanks!I removed my mower deck for the first time today to change my blades and belt.I overthought that that would be the hard part, but that was the easiest part...getting a couple of the sheave nuts loose to get the belt around the pulleys wound up being the hardest part...one being rounded off and not being able to get a grip on it with a wrench or socket made for a long afternoon.Thanks again, best of luck!
thank you for the comment glad you liked my video and thank you for new subscriber if you subscribed i can not see who subscribes all the time. stay safe out there
I dunno but on my e140 all you do is force the spring tension by hand off the PTO you don’t even need any tools
It all worked like a charm. Thanks.
You're welcome!
absolutely the BEST video on this subject.....
Thank you
You made it look very easy. I must remember what you did when I have a nice warm day to level my deck. Thanks.
thanks for watching
A John Deere with a good seat? That's a first. Great video btw.
Thanks have a good summer
By far the best TH-cam channel on " HOW TO DO" on John Deere riding mowers!! I watched many videos on other channels, and 95% of those videos were garbage. Until I ran across this channel. This is my first "HOW TO DO" John Deere riding mower TH-cam channel I ever SUBCRIBED too..
Glad you like it thanks for subscribing
I have a E130 John Deere and did not know of the grease fitting in front of the deck. Thanks!!
No problem 👍thanks for the comment helps my videos
Thanks for the very good tips on leveling the mower deck
Your welcome thanks for watching
Thank you, great job, Much appreciated
glad i could help, stay safe out there. let me know if there is a video you would like me to make about the John Deere, looking for ideas that my subscribers would like to see.
Correction: Rear hanger on RIGHT side is backwards. Needs to be same as left side hanger.
Followed your video today. Problem solved. I was surprised that there was about 3/4 inch difference between left and right leveling bolts. Thanks for well done video.
Glad I could help thanks for the nice comment
Awesome diy straight to the point and right thanks
Thanks
Hey fellow warrior thank you so much for your help your lifesaver I have a d100 I love it and now I know how to maintain it thanks to you God bless
Hooah, thanks glad to help
I have D 140. Thanks for the great video!
Thanks for the comment glad I could help
That help my mower tremendously. Thanks for the video
Great to hear!
toro needs to take note on this - way easier - PS - wish I had a flat surface to test!
Thanks for watching
Clear and easy to understand. Thank you!
Your welcome thanks for watching
Thanks for this video! Concise and informative.
Your welcome
Thanks Jim, excellent video. I first looked to see how to remove the deck because I hit a cypress knee that trashed a spindle. So now I'm replacing both spindles and blades and finally understand how to level the deck. While I'm at it I'm replacing all 4 tires as they just won't stay inflated properly. 8 yr old JD135.
Looks like you got some work ahead of you. Hope my video helps
Put you some "Flatout" in those tires and they won't ever leak again. I choose "Flatout" over the Green Slime because it lasts for the life of the tire. Stops nuisance leaks and anything up to a 1/2".
Another terrific video! I can't believe how much I've paid John Deere to do some of these things over the ten years I've had my 125... Thanks again for a great job!
Glad I can help you save some money, thanks for watching my videos
Good job on the video. Thanks for showing us not only how to measure the deck but also how to actually make the adjustments - unlike another TH-cam video titled “leveling a mower deck” that shows you how to measure it but neglects showing any adjustment procedure. (The guy seems more interested in showing off his immaculate lawn instead.)
Thanks glad you like my video, hope you have a great summer
Thanks! You helped me do it myself and I feel so proud!
Thank you very much for the super thanks and glad it helped
Thank You for posting this!

You are very welcome
Great video, I fixed mine this afternoon. Thanks!
Welcome
Nice job! Thanks for a very informative video... Going to use your technique on my D140.
Glad I could help
I love your videos because they are basic simple and direct and to the point ! When I see videos that are up to 20-30 minutes long and yours are only 5-7 minutes long achieving the exact same results, I know that the other videos are just someone babbling on and on incessantly...Have a Blessed week Amigo
👊😎✝️
Thanks I try to make all my videos easy and as short as I can. Thanks for watching God bless
Thank you for this video, I finally have a great mow/er! No more Mohawks or lower mow on the right side. I could have saved $ by not purchasing the plastic tool used for blade leveling. Now I’m enjoying the chore!!
Glad I could help, thanks for watching
Excellent! Thanks for the good advice.
Welcome
Very helpful, thank You!
Thanks for watching
Thank you for your service. EXCELLENT video. Thanks!
Welcome, thanks for watching
You got one of the hangers on the back opposite way round
i noticed that when i edited the video its fixed now thanks for watching
My lawn thanks you - well done!
You bet! Thanks for watching
Thanks , didn't really have an idea but do now .
Glad I could help
Thanks. I can do this.
glad I could help
Thank you I do appreciate the content you share.
Welcome thanks for watching
I've been wanting to know how to do this since I bought my lawnmower. It's never been level. Thank you.
Welcome
Very informative "Thank You"😊👍🏻
Your welcome thanks for watching
I keep referring to your video every time I need or suspect My L110 needs leveling. I personally think there is no better tutorial on leveling my John Deere L110. Thank you, God Bless.
Awesome, thank you so glad I can help
Exactly what I was looking for to get my D140 straightened out without have to decipher the manual which I have yet to find. After seeing how clean your mower is I clearly need to spend some quality time with my pressure washer….
Thanks for watching glad I could help
How ironic that I found this channel today. This is exactly what I need to do. I have the X300. 👍 and "Subscribed"
Thank you for subscribing, have a great summer.
Thank you! Just had a great cut!
Glad I could help thanks for watching
Great video - thanks!
Thank you
thanks again
i've already commented and liked and subscribed but i hadda level the deck again and used u as a re-reference
so
thanks again
Thanks for watching again
Thanks Jim, good video.
Glad I could help
Once again Jim. Thanks so much.
Your welcome again Harry glad to help
Excellent video! I couldn’t find these instructions elsewhere, The 2” blocks were key. The one other thing I did was adjust the height of the small black wheels on the deck. They should be about 1/2” off the ground at cutting height.
I have a video on those wheels also thanks for watching
JD Mod for those of us that has suffered...
The E-100 series deck height adjustment lever was changed to a handle so you don't catch your jewels while sliding off.
Handle is about 12 bucks and worth every penny.
Great vid btw !
Thanks for watching
I've got a D130 and I leap off the left side otherwise I get the handle either up my shorts or right smack dab pushin' on my pooper! (short legs suck!)
@@bullyakkerSame!
Jim, Great videos and thank you !!!
Your welcome Doug
I wish my barn floor was level lol I’d love to do this haha
Thanks for watching
Awesome, very well explained
Thank you
The adjuster bolt on the right side of your mower is backwards . You need to flip it around so that it is straight up and down with the eyelet facing the rear of the mower. The left side was correct. That is why your right side was a little bit higher.
I will have to check that out thanks
Thanks so much for your video Jim! I will try to work on my rider today after watching your video. You really deserved a subscribe, thanks again!
Thanks for the sub!
Thanks brother!
You bet!
dood
thanx man
super helpful
u saved me an amount of time that i applied to other chores today
straight forward and informative
u
r
awesome!
Glad it helped!
Confirmed, works....tire pressure first then blocks was my only mistake so i had to level deck twice. Great results!
Awesome thanks for watching
@@DIYJIM thanks for posting this. I was hacking up my grass pretty bad.
