I really appreciate how detailed you were especially any time it was difficult to see in the video! You did a really great job and made it easy to understand in my opinion! Thank you!
Thank you, I try to make them make sense. Appreciate your nice comments, thanks for watching.
I have the exact same 445. Save yourself a HUGE amount of grief. When disconnecting or reattaching the PTO, I take the left, rear tire off and do it then. Yes, it takes about 3 minutes to take the tire off but saves an immense amount of grief. Lots of room to work, lube what needs to be done, etc. The first time I tried this I was swearing so much, my wife made me go to church and light a candle-she thought I was going directly to hell.
Try that method, it really makes things easier.
Good idea. Just took off the tires to remove the seat pan the other day. ONLY WAY TO GO. Thanks for watching.
I take off both rear wheels, makes deck removal and dis connecting &. Re connecting pto shaft easier. Wish the axles had flanges for the wheel center and studs and lug nuts rather than the JD wheel nuts.
Good job, thanks!
Thanks for watching
Thank you sir. I wanted to see this before I bought my 1st 445
I put a couple of 2x6's under the rear tires, back the tractor up on them and then I'm able to crawl under the rear of the tractor and put the driveshaft on by opening/moving the collar and it slides right on as long as you have it all greased up. Hope this helps somebody.
That’s good advice, thank you. Someone else had commented in the thread about putting it on from the back and I’ve been doing that ever since and it’s worked great but those two by sixes would help with a little more clearance for sure.
Thanks for the video. I've been fighting this for about five hours.
Oh no. Hopefully not after the video.
Excellent demonstration video. I think you missed your calling as a documentary film maker. Thanks for the help
Very kind, thanks.
Just bought a x465 and this video helped explain my question. My first John Deere tractor. Very helpful thanks
Great to hear, thanks for watching!
Well done . Very helpful . Don’t know how to subscribe but will figure it out. 👍
Thanks. That made me chuckle. I hope you do. Thanks for watching
Very clearly explained. Thank you 👍👍
Appreciate your feedback you’re welcome.
Very helpful information! Thank you!
I appreciate the help. Thank you
Sliding the driveshaft back on is is super easy if ya jack up the rear just a little and remove the tire.
Yeah, that’s a good tip my friend, I’ve also learned just doing it from the rear of the tractor is much easier than the side. Thanks for watching.
Hey Yankee. I found that I can hookup the drive shaft easier by reaching in from the rear. Try it and let me know what you think
OMG James that is genius, never even dawned on me. I'll try it for sure. Thanks for watching
@@TNYankee2020 Well Yankee us John Deere people have to stick together and learn from each other. I liked your video.
I agree! I just lay on a big piece of cardboard and crawl under the rear end. I can get both hands on the driveshaft and coupler that way. Much easier!
I think thats the most clearance ive ever seen on a 400 series
Sexy ain’t it. Thanks for watching.
Thanks, I enjoyed watching it. I have had a 318 for 20 plus years and just in recent years, started leaving the covers off over the belts on the deck. When they were on, I was only checking the belts once per year (Wintertime) and found grass solidly packed in there which can not be good and produces heat. There is a safety factor to leaving them off, of course, but I have no children around so think that on balance, it is better for me. So easy to remove debris.
Do you leave yours off for a similar reason?
Thanks for the nice comments, glad you enjoyed it. Yes I haven't had my guards on for years for that exact reason of packed grass, even if the belt broke I don't think it would fly out and I also don't have small children in the yard.
My j-hooks on the front wheels are frozen!! I normally keep all sprayed w anti rust, I keep them sprayed a week b4 I started trying to take them off.
Back 2, no problem, but I’ve already broke a front one, damn sure didn’t know they were cast iron, any suggestions
Dang, and are using a screwdriver or some kind of leverage to pull out the J portion?
Nice presentation.
Appreciate it, thanks for watching.
@@TNYankee2020 How do I engage the coupled mower unit to cut?
Clearly no manual..yet.
@@bentongaynes1507 not sure if I'm understanding your question, but the PTO switch on the dash engages the mower
I live in Western KY. Just outside Paducah, KY. My name is John. I have a 425 with 2 wheel steering. The u joint for the deck come apart and did some damage to my transaxle. Now it leaks Fluid. I'm in need of a good used transaxle and was wondering if you know of any in your area? I have checked all around my area with no luck. I found 3 or4 on ebay but to far away and they didn't ship. All help would be very appreciated. THANK YOU !!!!
If you are on Facebook, there is a great group on there for the John Deere 425 for 445, 455. If you post what you need on there, someone will likely have a solution. Thanks for watching.
I find a floor jack on the front and WD40 for the pto shaft help.
I will definitely try that next time, I had gone so many years without a jack i forget to use it for the things I got used to doing without one. Thanks for watching.
When ever I use a floor jack under the front axle or rear axle,. lock the front axle on both sides with vice grips so the front axle can not pivot and the chassis rolls over. Great tip on straw holes on deck height adjustment knob, will give that a try.
I'm needing to change a belt on a 455 and this gets me pretty far along with that since I will need to remove the deck. Will I have to remove that assembly that connects to the shaft to get the belt on?
No, the only thing you would have to do is remove any guards that exist, you can see that I don't have mine on and then there should be an idler pulley with a spring, you will push on that to relieve belt tension, just make sure to make a drawing of your belt before you take it off it's easy to forget the pattern once you have the belt off.
I am new to John Deere maintenance but trying to do my own on a JD 425. What setting do you leave the black gauge at that you had to spray silicone on to free
No hard and fast rule Diane, it's a micro adjustment 1 full turn equals 1/2" up or down. The mower will never go lower than wherever this is set. So it's nice whereas you can just raise or lower your hydraulic lever all the way down and be and be at the same spot every time, then make your micro adjustment with knob. It can be tricky to get where you want initially. Are you on Facebook group John Deere 425 445 455 Garden Tractors? If not you should join lots of knowledge. Thanks for watching.
@@TNYankee2020 just joined thank you.
@@TNYankee2020 Thanks for that info!
boy you really struggled with that. i have the AWS445 and i drop the front draft arm and slide my jack under the front weight bar and hoist it up rather than play with the tractor wheels. never thought about screwing in the deck arms, i don't have nearly half the problems you do. still like the 140H3 design better it only takes about a minute and a half to put on the snow blower, mower, deck rear tiller. the belly blade is only 30 seconds. tiller is my favorite to hook up and unhook. 4x4 block under the mount plate makes it go perfectly even to backing right in.
Got a video you can post?
I can't get the rear couple to release on mine. I have the AWS too.
Does this tractor have over sized rear tires on it?
It does but those are the factory size for the 445s
