John Deere Lawn Mower Parts
After extensive use, your John Deere Lawn Mower may require some maintenance. In the event of breakdowns, replacement parts can be acquired to keep it running. Care should always be taken to ensure that replacement lawn mower parts match your brand and model.
How can I make sure that a replacement part is right for my model?
To determine what kind of equipment should be replaced to get your John Deere machine running properly again, you’ll need to make some checks:
Model and serial number – Since certain mower parts don’t fit all John Deere models, check and write down the model and serial number of your lawn mower. Include this data in an on-hand reference sheet while you search for parts so that you don’t order the wrong component. The four-character model number is underlined beneath the “MODEL” title, while the serial number is the last six digits underneath the “Product Identification Number” title. According to the type of equipment, this information will be located in different places:
- Riding mowers – Located between the front of the seat and the driving wheel, or on the back of the riding mower
- Push tractors – Located on the left side of the machine’s deck between the wheels
- Zero-turn tractors – Located underneath the seat, which must be raised before the model and serial number can be viewed
Troubleshoot the issue – Make sure that you know exactly what’s causing the problem on your John Deere machine. Whether the malfunctioning part is a broken belt, a dulled blade, or a worn-out engine, you want to know the precise source of the malfunction before buying anything. Here are some common mechanical issues associated with John Deere products:
- The lawn isn’t being cut – It’s likely that the mower deck belt has become worn out.
- The unit won’t start – There might be a problem with the fuses, the battery, the battery connector, or the start switch.
- The unit is unwieldy or halting – A failure to move properly might indicate a failing transmission or improperly aligned components.
What types of John Deere motorcycle parts may require replacement?
Some of the more common parts that may wear out and ultimately require replacement include spark plugs, filters, belts, and blades. It's a good idea to keep some of these extra parts on hand so that they're available at a moment's notice. Other parts, like oil filters, air filters, and transmission filters, may be purchased on an as-needed basis.
