Thanks Mike, I am 70 and been running some 1970's Sears and Cub Cadets, and Roper, and Bolens.... Just got a 214 JD ... it will be about my 14th tractor..... gonna see how it does.... I just love the Tractors with the Cast Iron Kohlers 12, 14, & 16 ... Good video, I learned a lot..... PS I wear Steel Toe boots most of the time around my little mowers and tractors.... haha...
Thanks for making this video Mike. Just replaced my 1983 111 with a 1970 110 that came with the deck off. I’ve only ever dealt with vertical shaft mowers but had wanted a 110 since I bought my first house. Thanks!
When you made this you may not have realized some 55 year old guy who just got his first used John Deere 216 (in great shape but it came with a snow blower on it but deck was off.) would watch it and think your the greatest for making it lol You saved me alot of trouble.. great video ty! A true country boy barefoot making tractor videos
I really like them all. I used 2 like the wood ones but they pinch your hands when they start to get want out. Probably the John deere ones are the best
Wow great video I have a 212 with snow plow came with no mower so I bought 2 different cars mower and they told me it don’t fit. BUT I didn’t have the mount front plate and the other belt that was loose. Wow maybe it does fit so I will try it myself after buying front thing
Thanks for the video. This helped immensely for my 1968 110 w/ Hydraulic Lift. Do you know the dimensions for the drive belt for the mower deck? I need a replacement
It's the pulley break that's supposed to slow the pulley down when you turn off the pto. You need to go up in from the bottom with a fairly long extension on a ratchet and it's either a 1/2 or a 9/16 socket you need.
I just recently was given a 1981 212 not running, the question i have is I cant get it to go in neutral, in turn in won't roll when pushing it. Where should I start with solving this issue. Thankyou in advance
Do you mean you can't find neutral like the shifter Fork is out of place or it's in gear and you physically can't make it come out? Also another simple thing that I have seen is people lock the break and don't know how to unlock it
Hi there I just got a 112 from my grandfather and is is missing the front attachment plate thing for the mower. Do you know where I could get one? Thanks
what would not make my 112 john deere 46" mower deck not to engauge to turn it on i put new belt on it but does nothing pulley will spin freely by hand
Hi @Mike Starcher I asked about a part for the mower deck for a 112 John Deere and you mentioned you had some. Could you let me know if you would be able to sell me one. Thanks, Jakob
I always mow bare foot have been for years as long as you're not dumb enough to stick your feet under the mower you're going to be fine and shoes aren't gonna protect you anyway if you stick your feet under the mower
I have a 216 that came with a deck with no blades and am not sure of the size it has the Serial number is *M00673X 488720*. Can't find the deck using the number at JD web site. Any ideas what size it is ?

Thanks, and a good job. p.s. when you mowed, you missed a spot, there in the front...🤣🤣
Love the videos!! What is the best steering wheel knob that you’ve found?

What is the belt length from the PTO to the mower deck question mark
Good video. Any idea on a part # for a replacement belt on a 112h 1970 model year. Having trouble finding one. Thank you.
Replacing what?
The main belt from the clutch on the engine to the single pulley on the mower deck
39" deck Part Number. M45998
47" deck Part Number. M45998
Both same
Perfect. Exact future. Thank you!!!

I do not but you'll have to buy a John Deere brand one so just go into your dealer and ask for belt and have your show number
at 3:55 what piece are you talking about. and how could i remove it?
It's the pulley break that's supposed to slow the pulley down when you turn off the pto. You need to go up in from the bottom with a fairly long extension on a ratchet and it's either a 1/2 or a 9/16 socket you need.
Mike, I think my John Deere 110 has the 39 inch mower deck which is pretty rusted in places
So, What are the 47 inch mower decks going for ???
for a nice one i don't have any problem selling one for $200.
Actually I just sold the one that I put on the 216 in this video this morning for $200 listed it last night
Boss minute 6:30 what you call those thing and you use those pins and I didn’t see where it was hanging from the trailer.
what the correct belt length from the engine side pulley to the center mower deck pulley for this John Deere 112 Lawn Mower with/46" Deck
don't go to tsc those belts wont work, go to a jd dealer and get the correct belt

@@mikestarcher it will shift thru the gears.. the rear wheel seems to be frozen . Like maybe a rusted on brake
@@ericclark8258 what happens if you put it in like 1st or 2nd gear and spin the input shaft
@@mikestarcher sorry iam new to the tractor.iam not sure what or where the imput shaft is?
@ericclark8258 right side, has big pulley on it, it's where the drive belt goes to
Is the pto pulley clutch electric? Where you put the belt on side of the tractor.
No, mine is manual
Electric is the same idea you just don't have a bar to remove
@@mikestarcher just noticed they are pricey the electric pto
Ya, I like the manual pto better
Hi there I just got a 112 from my grandfather and is is missing the front attachment plate thing for the mower. Do you know where I could get one?

I have some
@@mikestarcher ok cool could I buy one?

what would not make my 112 john deere 46" mower deck not to engauge to turn it on i put new belt on it but does nothing pulley will spin freely by hand
Do you have the belt tightened?
I think mine is missing parts. I don’t know where those black bars with the pin hang onto. Can you upload a video and show where they hook to?
Do you mean where they go on the mower deck? Also r u talking the ones that go to the tractor frame
@@mikestarcher i have them on my mower deck. I am referring the the brackets that a pin slides vertically.
@@MyJLV there should be no vertical pins
What is that peice that holds the pully on
? On what? U mean the tractors pto?
What size belts are these?
I don't know you can't just buy generic belts tho you have to buy John Deere brand belts
What is the size on mower deck v belt
You can't just buy the right size, you have to go to John Deere and get 1

the front draft plate?
@@mikestarcher if that is the thing that connect the mower deck to the front of the tractor then yes.
@@jakobvandenheuvel3201 330 641 0991 Shoot me a text
is that a JD E0046 deck ?
47
what size is the belt
Doesn't matter what size the belt is go to John Deere and ask for a belt for your model and year tractor and deck
My belt keeps coming off..... Any ideas?
Of the deck?
@@mikestarcher watched your video a second time and realized I had the belt on backwards 😂 works like a charm now
I liked the video but don't mow bare footed

Great video thx for sharing
What size deck? 39" or 47"?
@@mikestarcher How do I determine the deck size ? Measure from where to where ?
Is the deck off the tractor?
