thank you! you saved my life! i watched more than 4 videos and finally here you are. my husband will be away for 6 months and i have no knowledge about my tractor. thanks!
My 8 year old worked hard and saved all his money and bought a brand new one of these after having a bad experience with a used riding mower he bought. Thank you for this video.
Awesome video. I just bought one of these and had no idea how to use it. Your video is very easy to understand. Covered everything perfectly. I actually have no questions after this. Thank you!

The Best Explanation I have seen for this Tractor Mower. Thank you for going into detail unlike some other videos didn't. 😉My daughter sent me one and they delivered it a foot away from my front door so I wouldn't miss it and the first thing I thought was ok maybe no gas so I get to move it manually and I found the metal pin to make sure it was out to push it and you are the only on that showed how that works! You also show in depth how to use the reverse option and explained the arm turns on and off the blades even though they use other words or codes to explain things in the book on in the pictures on the machine. Good Job! 😊
They've kept it nice and simple.. love it. It's the one I grew up with "the 110". Drove the mid 80's model .. then the 2008 model.. now about to get my 2024 model of the s110 here this Friday! Can't wait to mow the yard.. lol

This was the best tutorial that I’ve ever had on this lawnmower, and I have been searching for over six months. Now I need a video to figure out how to put the blades down. I that in there. Excellent demo.
I see that you posted this sometime ago but it works for me. I just purchased a JD last week and I couldn't have had a better teacher than you. By the way I'm a female who knows nothing . . . THANK YOU and be blessed.

Excellent video for a novice driver!!! I have watched it 3 times and think I have it figured out. The one thing I don't know is if you can get OFF the mower to move something without the engine shutting down? I am sure it is a safety feature but annoying sometimes ;)
Hi Shannon, When the engine is running, as long as the mower deck is off and the brake pedal is in the down, locked position, you will be able to get off the machine.
Great video.. just bought one of these and I haven’t driven a rider mower in a while.. this video will ensure that I won’t look like that much of an idiot when I cut grass for the 1st time 😂
I'm glad it was helpful and thank you for the kind comment. I will have more on this model and if you are changing your own engine oil? Here is the video on "How to change the engine oil and oil filter. ruclips.net/video/pumbMyaVi5w/видео.html.
Hi John, your video is great, it answered all my questions….thank you so very much. Tony Skala, Inverness, Fl. P.S. I’m an old coot, 83 so I needed all the help you provided 😊
Nice job my friend.. Aug 16 2022.. I just bought this model a couple days ago.. I ran it around the yard last sunday but now out of town.. have not read the manual yet. only checked the oil.. hahah. but was wondering where the fuel gauge was.. ok.. I got it now thanks for your video..
I'm glad this was helpful. I plan on performing a full service on the S110 and getting it on a video so you can have a maintenance video to keep machine in good running condition!

@@JohnsonsSmallEngines Good job on the video. I ordered the mulching cover today. I wonder if I need to order the mulching kit they sell too? I think I would have to swap the blades.. It's brand new.. I guess I will just wait a season till they wear out .. IDK.. first rider
I think your mower should already have the mulching blades? Check . If you do, then the mulching cover should be all you need. You can always check to see what comes with the kit before you would purchase it.

Great video. I just purchased one of these and I’m picking it up on Tuesday. Quick question. I currently disconnect the battery on my Troy built after every use so the battery doesn’t drain. The tractor gets used at least twice a month, is it best to continue disconnecting the battery on this tractor as well?
Bless your heart, I was about to call my box store to come get this mower! For the life of me I couldn't figure out why the forward pedal wouldn't do anything. Why is there a transmission cut off for pushing? Sorry, not mechanically inclined lol
I’m glad you figured it out. The reason why the transmission cut is just how I explained it in the video. When you need to push the tractor, you must pull the rod out in the back of the transmission so you do not ruin the transmission. You just need to remember to push the rod back in or just as you found out, the forward/reverse pedals will not work.

Nice review! So I have a S100 and my dad for whatever reason accidentally removed the oil drain cap and a small droop of oil came out. It only has 3.3 hrs on it so just to be safe should I add a small amount to be safe?
I’m glad it was helpful! Thank you for the kind comment. Please give this video a like and share the channel to help the channel grow. It would be greatly appreciated!
Just bought a S120. I have 3 hrs. on it. Why does it blow white smoke when I start it? Oil level is fine, doesn't do it while operating, ONLY on start up. Dealer told me to watch it until 15-20 hrs. as it's assembly lube from the factory and needs to burn off. What do you think?
My opinion, It should not blow white smoke when machine is new. Something internal is wrong with engine. You need to have have it repaired or replaced.
I just bought this mower. I really thought it sounds rough when I engage the blades. Feels rough too. My last mower didn't rattle and shake so bad. Your mower sounds the same. Is this normal? I was thinking of returning it...
Make sure your running the engine at full speed to keep the vibrations down to a minimum. The S110 is the cheapest John Deere they make at this time and it is the quality of the same priced Craftsman. If your thinking of returning it? I have been working on all makes and models for over 30 years and In my opinion, I would put that money into the John Deere X300 series and you will be much happier! The X300 series are what call the start of the good John Deere tractors. I do not recommend purchasing any of the Cub Cadet line of machines because they are owned by the biggest manufacturer of lower end equipment in the world (MTD). Again this is only my opinion.
I just got this mower and the deck shakes and is very loud when pto is engaged. I was just wondering if that's normal? It seems like it does the same in the video. Any help is greatly appreciated.

My husband just bought the S110 He made one lap and tried to use the RIO button. It shut the mower off and now he can't get it to start. Can you help us troubleshoot??
He most likely did not turn off the blade engagement handle. Make sure the blades are off and the brake is all the way push down or locked into park position
We had bought 4-Cycle engineered fuel. Because we have use that one for our push lawnmower. But was wondering if that would be good for the tractor. If not so we can use regular gas
thank you! you saved my life! i watched more than 4 videos and finally here you are. my husband will be away for 6 months and i have no knowledge about my tractor. thanks!

Make sure the engine is at full speed when cutting. Running mower deck at slower speeds will make the deck shake more.
@@JohnsonsSmallEngines It was at full speed.
When i got my new s170 the tires were way over inflated and battery cables were loose.

Did you purchase the John Deere bagger? Did you install the blades that came with the John Deere kit?
thanks guy, "farming for Dummies"

What fuel do you recommend?
Run regular gas and if you can find pump gas with ethanol, that would be even better.
We had bought 4-Cycle engineered fuel. Because we have use that one for our push lawnmower. But was wondering if that would be good for the tractor. If not so we can use regular gas
You can use it for the tractor but very expensive!!! That’s why I did not bring that up:)
Once you start using that one can you later change to regular fuel?
Yes
My mower won’t even move brand new I hate it garbage
Your transmission release may be pulled out. Try pushing the rod in around back of tractor. I show that at the end of the video.
@@JohnsonsSmallEngines thank you it was my brake I didn’t know you had to press so he’d on it to release me he brake
