I have a 14 SE and a 14SB. Best mowers period! Mine always starts with 1 pull. The battery is bad in my 14 SE so I just pull to start it. I do the yearly service at john deere and never had any issues.
Your battery is a PowerSonic 1250 or USB1250 . These are 12v. 5Amh batteries. Get them most anywhere. My 14SE came with a uSB new. Also, use a little dry graphite on shaft of starter and I blow my out after each use. It's 15 years old.
I just got one of these. Mine is pretty good. I'm going to put a new battery in at some point though it nearly always starts with one pull of the pull starter.
I'm replacing the carb on one now. Because SOMEBODY cobbled up the bottom of the tube with the wrong screwdriver. Ebay had one for around $10. I'd rather have re-installed the original though.
I'm restoring a 1994 14SE right now. Your 1989 model looks spotless, great for its age. Yeah the loud sound is a combo of the worn out muffler and the governor being set to set to high. Also had 1989 14SB and currently still have a working 1993 14SB. They really are wonderful machines ahead of their time, set standards. You going to do an update or do you no longer have this machine?
The only Flaw with this model from JD is they did not make it with a Alternator for constant 12v charge to always be charging the battery while it is running .if this motor would have had that Alternator Would have made this the Greatest Lawnmower Ever made. Sad as you can see the battery will die in 3 to 5 starts with the electric start do to Battery Drain .
New owner of a SB14, anyone know where I can pick up an oil filter adapter for my Kawasaki FC150V? Would appreciate any leads...also how to re-do the mowing deck? Thanks guys

These are great mowers. I have one. It cut through tall grass like butter.
Mine is 25 years old, just fantastic.
The best by far for the restoration job,. Chalk up one for Boston.

That one is in NICE shape.
What do you think of my 14sb dam near mint condition and listen to how soft sounding the Kawasaki 5hp sounds ruclips.net/video/kLJIhLvzb68/видео.html

Nice find!!
What is the level of oil?
I have a JD 14pz 1994 model. Runs like a top with a 5 hp Briggs.
we have an SE and have problem with stablizing the handle. the bolts at the bottom won't tighten.
That's not the muffler rattling.
Did you sell it in spring? If so, what did you get for it?
Mine goes putt putt . What's wrong with it?
I picked one of these up for $25!
Anyone with a Je75. Or a 14se. I will buy it from you. I collect these wonderful john deere mowers.
holy sht! 5 speed
