My E140 has the standard oil change system with crankcase drain and spin on filter. Really happy with this mower!
I love mowing grass, it therapeutic to me and I love the smell of the fresh cut grass.
Have to agree, it only becomes tedious to me if there are a lot of obstacles, that kind of breaks up the peacefulness. I used to have two acres of flat open ground with zero obstacles and I loved mowing it, trying different patterns, etc.
I'll give you my address and you can use my machine. You'll need to be there every 4 days May- 2nd week of June, then you can come over every 6 days. I leave you a beer in the garage frig while I'm out fishing.
Lucky you, I have to wear nose mask or severe allergy.
damn boomers
mow on windy days only...should help....IMO...@@minndart9013
Not sure that's a complete oil change though.
They don't care as long as they got your $50...
PJ in the valley it’s not u will eventually have to drain remaining oil out of mower😡
They have a conversion kit if you want to convert it back.
It's not.
For about $ 25 you can get John Deere parts to change it back to standard oil change which works best for me
Man I love running it down Summoner's Rift with my trusty John Deere 100 Series Lawn Mower
From Ontario Canada. 2nd week with the 100 belt slips.. Poly cart hubby had to jimmy rig cause the spring wouldn't stay in place . Called the main number to register it and complain. Apparently others who bought at Home Depot same problem with the belts.. Thank goodness we can deliver the tractor ourselves to our local dealer cause that isn't covered by warranty.
Summer Time my belt pops off everytime I turn off off the mower on my e100
You have to buy another one and put in on yourself if you can. It' stretches. I am careful to cut when grass is dry and careful what lever it's in. On a farm , lots of grass and grows fast. My brother bought the 20 thousand dollar one with the all the bells and whistle attachments. I also make sure I rest it often so it doesn't over heat. Pretty much baby it . Hope it lasts. I mean they make cheap ass crap now.
Summer Home Depot JD's are not made by JD !!! Mtd/Husqvarna makes them a cheaper version !!!
Just bought e140 I'm shaking with excitement
What about all the old oil in the crankcase? It's going to have dirt in it..
It leaves over half the dirty oil still in the engine and is very expensive.
Now we have to buy your oil filter. I use a lexus oil filter on my LA115 its bigger and cheaper them the stock one
exactly! alternative oilfilter that i use only cost 2dollars. lets see how much they charge u for the oilfiltercsn lol
The 30 second oil change sounds great, but $50? A bit rich for my blood. Still nice if you aren't worried about price.
Townhall $50 for a quart of oil and a filter ??? WTF !!!! B/S take 2 quarts of oil $12 and a $6 oil filter and you change ALL the oil !!!!!! They want you to wear out the engine quickly so they can sell you another one !!!!!
do they really charge 50bucks for that bullshit? 30 sec my ass. i mean how hard is it to change oil in a first place. Motorcraft filter only cost abt 4 bucks lol.. what the fuck.. i guess JD wont be in my shopping list in future
they really didn't cover the rear end but from what i could see it looked like a cast aluminum instead of the cheap plastic one they used on some D series
monkeydoctor of the lost world they’re all metal except the d105 and the e100
I really want one of these tractors
"30-second oil change", aren't you just adding new oil to the old oil? Doesn't sound good to me. If you change your oil several times, what happens to the old oil, and won't you end up over-filling your oil level?
great mower
50% longer engine life? So around 300hrs then. What happened to the thousand hour lawn mowers?
They pretty much admitted that Briggs engines are garbage
I have a JD model 135 that I purchased in 2006, looks and runs great. I prefer to drain the oil, not sure about that system. No ear protection? those engines are pretty loud, not to mention the deck engaged as well. Nice machine though.
"no ear protection"? those John Deere's run quiet.
My 145 is quiet, the mulching blades - that's another story.
Are these supposed to stop the mower when you let go of the pedals on a hill or will it supposed to keep rolling like it’s in neutral.
Most 100 series mower decks have belt slipping problems. The small 90º tab that holds the end of the cable housing on the deck itself needs the holes elongated a little. This will allow the tab to be slightly adjusted . (Towards the outside of deck) It's a very fine line between engagement of the deck and being too loose. 1/8" + - will work in most cases.
Why can't I get info on a John Deere GXL 120 E lawn tractor? I need to sort out wiring please any one.
Many years ago I owned an Ariens. A HT 16. The part about that mower. It had a drive over deck. 20 yrs later the only way you can get one is is spending $15,000. You would think by now that the designers would be smart enough to put them on all mowers.
Brother needs to cut that head 1st Looking like Gumby from SNL LMAO 🤠🤠🤠🤠🚜🚜
Bro im dead 😄😄🙃💀
I just purchased an E130. I was told by the local JD mechanic who delivered it to my door that there is a mod kit available to change the 30 second oil system to a regular spin on filter system. He gave me no more details. Anyone hear about this?
I'm not aware of a kit per se, but to replace the Easy Change receptacle with a traditional oil filter system you would need to order the following parts: AM131611 (1) Drain Pipe Assembly
, MIU13767 (1) Threaded Nipple, and AM125424 (1) Oil Filter. hollandandsons.dealercustomerportal.com/Customers/Order-Parts
They're just standard Briggs motors that have been made over and over again. Look at the serial number and go to parts tree. Find the motor and buy whatever parts have been taken off to put that oil change piece of shit on it. Then take their shit off and put Briggs back on. If that's too much work I suggest you buy another brand there really isn't any difference between brands. Same motors, same trans.
Big mistake making the engine oil filter and oil now a proprietary product only available thru your dealers. I certainly will not be forced to pay your inflated prices for what is a vastly inferior product. I only buy certain brands of oil and filters... and I am not alone in this either.
Ivan Rice may I ask what engine oil n filter you use
Amsoil oil and filter
There is a conversion kit. So that you change oil correctly.
Quick oil change is a millennial gimmick
I agree plus i use premium filters and full synthetic oil and this system will negate all of that. My L120 has been going strong for 16 years now.
what is the difference between the D and E series such as the 178 and 180?
had an x520 as well
Can I ask WHY is it , almost every JD I have seen in any Home Depot , Lowest stores has a scratched up hood ? any this is accost 5 different states from Miami , Michigan , Atlanta and Tennessee .......... every hood I have seen was not as if it was new .
James No-Idea I think when they unpack these mowers, the hoods get scratched and when they are on display in the store. Kids climbing on them etc. I noticed the same thing and found one that wasn’t scratched and bought it.
@@prestonjustis5547 I guess that could be an answer , people need to keep their darn kids off the machines .
30 seconds oil FILTER change system.
Which tractor is the cheapest that DOESNT have the plastic transmission?
E110
In my opinion that’s not a real Deere are x739 is a great tractor and there is nothing it won’t do any x series and up is a rear tractor
It is made by John Deere but these tractors are nowhere near as durable.
I don’t use the cheapest I use the good filters
He’s very excited to tell us about the updates ahaha
John Deere: if I can't use Amsoil synthetic in a lawn mower I'm not going to buy it.
John Steele the advantage of synthetic in a lawn mower is negligible at best, and deere's oil is still pretty solid
very good mowers the only bad thing is that the hood is made of plastic and it will break.
Why only add an extended life motor on select models? If your name is built on your alleged durability and quality, wouldn't you want all your engines to last? I remember when our grandparents used to have mowers that lasted as long as their mortgage. Everything is a piece of crap now days.
It encourages you to buy a new one
....so true have to buy my first tractor...it's like just buying a brand name to me really they all fail in 5 to 7 years anyway it seems...
ryanofill Thats what you get when bean counters run the companies !!!! Sell cheap crap from China so you have to keep buying !!! No money in building a mower that will last 10/15 years !!!
You can get a good mower for $6-10,000. The Home Depot and Lowe's mowers are competitively built and competitively priced. Don't hold your expectations too high for those models. The 1980's J-D mowers (430 diesel) ran $10,000 and that was 30+ years ago - and some of them are still doing well, compared to 1980's automobiles which are long gone to the crusher.
Briggs and Stratton garbage. Thats why.
Easy Change = SUPER EXPENSIVE
Suggestion: 100 series, mower deck needs to spin faster. I have 42 inch one with mulch option. It does not mulch grass completely. I have to make several passes. I mow grass once a week. Does JD offer spindle with bigger size?
Minn Dart you would want a smaller deck pulley to spin the blades faster !!! Or a larger motor pulley for the deck !!!
Can you fit a standard oil filter to this motor and do the old style oil change
You'd need to convert oil filter cradle. I'm sure tractor has normal drain plug tho
I have a 2007 LA130 John Deere, every year I change belts, replace blades, buy new ones at amzon cheaper than resharpen, do the the whole tune up, oil & filter-air filter -spark plugs-have to readjust valve lash or engine won't crank, and I cut over 5 acres and have over 700 hours on it. It needs head gaskets but thats Briggs & Stratton they are all made just about the same it's how you maintain it.
The 212 John Deere is a great tractor made by John Deere !
Kenneth If you want a John Deere Made mower you have to buy it from John Deere !!! Box store JD's are not the same, they are made by MTD/Husqvarna !!!!
the 212 is a great machine. its an old cast iron horse. cant compare to these newer junk machines. i wont buy this lightweight crap. i have 2 acres. i bought a very lightly used kubota sub compact. diesel, 4WD, 54" cut..... very nice high quality machine but your going to pay for it. i paid 8 grand, came with a heated cab, snowblower, mower..... and only has 395 hours on it.
i wont buy cheaply made crap.
I got the 2017 S240 sport and was kind of irritated that this year's lineup had changes I could've enjoyed if I had held off 9 months... Until I saw this new Easy Oil change. I just bought oil, filter and a grease tube for $20 this morning for my 2017 but if I had this new system it would've been double that. And it's proprietary. Um no thanks I'm not irritated anymore lol. As for the haters bashing on JD, I see some of you said you bought those crappy D series they sell at Home Depot. Maybe don't buy a lawn tractor from a big box store next time, they're not made as well. You get what you pay for
tukourjobs John Deere does not make the Box store mowers !!! They are made by MTD/Husqvarna and are NOT the same machine !!! They are the el cheapo low buck versions painted green and yellow !!!!
@@wilburfinnigan2142 You are completely and utterly wrong. The mowers at the box stores are exactly the same as those sold at JD dealers. These urban myths are perpetuated by people who don't know what they're talking about. JD made by MTD/Husqvarna ... that's ridiculous. Do a little research (you have obviously done none!) and stop spreading these urban myths.
@@Sternodox NOPE !!!!! JD has missed a lot of the entry level mower market, why they built their 100 series down to a price !!! They may have the same model number at a JD dealer but it is a "better" built, better quality machine. Compare a cheap Box store mower to a Cub Cadet or a Husqvarna and the cub cadet and Husqvarna is a better machine for less money !!!!
@@wilburfinnigan2142 Man, you don't get it - 100 series at HD, Lowes or the dealer is EXACTLY the same. My dealer doesn't even stock but a few and openly tells people to get them from HD and Lowes as they can't compete on price. They are made by MTD/Husq and sold to compete with the masses. There is a reason HD and Lowes doesn't sell the 300/500/700 series. They are vastly different from the 100 series which is 100% based on price and price only.
@@kennethfeld6639 BULLSHIT !!!! READ my comment above and see I said the same thing !!!!! DUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The only thing JD about the Lowes/Homedepot Mowers is the color !!!! DUUUUUUHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! They are NO different from MTD/HusQ.....same engines/trans.....just painted green and moooooore money !!!!!
How about filling the transaxles with real synthetic 0W50, not cheap conventional oil that dies at less than 200 hours? You see dozens of these mowers on Craigslist and the replacement transaxle is about a grand! Pathetic!
If the "easy change" leaves most of the old oil in the engine, what good is it? You'll never sell me on that and won't get me to buy another JD. Changing ALL the oil the old way was never much of a chore. Thank whoever came up with this idea. Bye.

John Deere is apparently following studies that show oil itself doesn't break down (synthetic, at least; I don't know about dino-oil) over use. One such study by a major auto manufacturer (Ford, I think) supposedly has one of their trucks on the road with over 500k on a single batch of oil. The oil is periodically drained, filtered, and returned to the engine.
I'm as skeptical as you are, as this goes against everything I've ever been taught. For us, JD offers a conversion kit to allow us to do a "normal" oil and filter change. I might look into that one day. I only got my machine a few days ago.
@@Just1American1966 You may be right, I don't know.
Don't drain oil???, Change only filter??? Your engine don't work long time...
How does this series handle hills and can you get a snowblower for it ?
Hi Rick, Deere does offer a 44 inch snow blower attachment that's compatible withe all the E100 Series Mowers. I can't speak from experience how it handles on hills, but as long as it's not very steep I would think it should handle it no problem.
The hbd series does not I repeat does not handle heels well at all An spits clumps out if u attempt
Some of these 100 series leave the engine exposed to dirt and grass. The cover doesn't cover the engine completely leaving a good portion of the sides exposed. Has anyone had a problem with this. I would think it's not good for the engine.
There is nothing covering a push mower's engine and they do just fine. Just blow the crap off of it once in a while.
could also be a problem crunching dry leaves in fall too lotsa dust....
I see what you did there. To advertise your "30 second oil change" you simply recommend to never change the oil. So much stupid. I generally like JD stuff, but I will definitely not be getting a JD 100 series when I can get basically the same thing for about half the price elsewhere.
Kcducttaper1 yup, it costs 3 times what a normal oil change costs on a tractor, but only changes a third of the oil... Splendid idea... Smh
Kcducttaper Any John Deere sold at a big box store is not built by John Deere !!!! They are made by MTD/Husqvarna !!!! No different than Husqvarna, Craftsman, Polan !!!! IF you want a John Deere built you buy from John Deere and pay the price !!!!
@Robert Marshall Do the research !!!! it is everywhere !!! The box store JD also are just like the Husqvarna, Craftsmen, polan, etc made by MTD/Husqvarna !!!! LA series are only found at the big box stores. Many JD dealers will not even work on the box store "jd" mowers !!!!
The "Filter" is filled with oil, so when you remove the old one approx 1/3 of the engine oil is removed and the new filter comes pre filled. The reason they did this was pretty simple. The found out that the vast majority of consumers never changed the oil because it was too messy and time consuming, therefore it never happened. This method, even though it isn't as good as a full oil change is much better than nothing. It is only on the low end tractors anyway.
@@wilburfinnigan2142 BS
There’s oil all over our engine, what happened. Used for 8 hours.
*Sips*
DVDPlus Quake was a good game
Unreal tournament too
“sips” sound like womans hairy vigina in korean
Don't buy this John Deere x147r Ride on mower. Unless you want to mow a level short lawn that doesn't get too long. Maybe a bowling green would be suitable.
The grass shute constantly clogs up if you mow heavy green grass so you have put your arm in and pull it all out.
You have no warning when it clogs and jams the blades while the motor keeps spinning the deck belt resulting in black smoke coming out that lets you know there's serious problem.
If you're lucky the belt will jump off the pulleys.
Putting the catcher back on is a frustrating procedure the makes you think it from a different model. The lock catch on the catcher releases very often dropping grass out the back. The whole catcher set up is flimsy and cheap. Not too mention frustrating.
Not good around trees as the catcher handle sticks up way too high and hooks onto branches.
1 hr of use after buying this brand new mower it developed an unnerving clunking sound in the deck.
I've always owned John Deere and have been a happy customer,but this model is poorly engineered and designed.
Isn't most if the hood plastic? Why?
@Joshua Beckett You must not have a busted one or ever checked the price to fix one. Metal any day.
Its a nice tractor, but one big problem. You only offer Briggs and Stratton engines. Why not offer a Kawasaki or Kohler on the top several trims? And the easy change is total BS. That engine wont make it 5 years. "Extended life package" is a big marketing scam. I have worked on ones with and without the so called "package", and they are the exact same.
Anything new on the 300 series?
Hi Pete, the only change I know of is the initial 8-hour break-in engine oil and filter change requirement has been eliminated. Otherwise the 2018 X300 Series is the same as 2017.
How do you fix the cable line to change gears
So this guy says I need a bigger lawn you buy the land I will be happy to mow it
Lol I'll get back to you on that...
Holland and Sons 👍
The Deere approved oil filter conversion kit is only $25.00 and comes with the filter and two quarts of oil. Eliminates the overly expensive easy change system. I can see where easy change would appeal to some suburbanites who don't like to get their hands dirty, but the system only replaces a portion of the oil making the price totally not worth it IMHO.
I had conversation with our local John Deere dealer. Asking her couple questions after we got it. She said the tractor will not last long. I said what a thing to say when you put your name behind it. I am told it is just a knock off to their name. I would not take it to a John Deere Dealer anyway for repair . Have somewhere else I will take it. It better last some years. We take care of it and why wouldn't the engine last. I have a few hours of cutting but stop every 20-30 min to let it cool down and cut when it's dry grass. Do weekly checks and clean it
Summer Time is it important to let it cool down. We mow about 2.5 hours sometimes. Now having issues with oil all over engine.
...thats not good...like you I expect to buy the best ONCE...and it should last ...
@@brittanyd3527 We had that problem, started smoking bad. I thought I was putting to much oil and it was leaking. Luckily it was under warranty and got that covered. They said it was a manufacturers fault. Glad it wasn't mine. Hopefully no problems this summer 2019. No more warranty.
Summer Box store JD's are not made by JD !!!! They are made by MTD/Husqvarna, same as Husqvarna, Craftsmen, Poulan, are all made there same mower different paint !!!
I'm in South Africa under lockdown government regulation a d can't visit dealers.....
What the F is wrong with the guys hair at 3:42?!?! Re-freakin-diculous
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
cost you 40$ dollar every 9 hours oil filter
These John Deere's tractors are garbage overrated overpriced garbage
the john deere x series is best than the 100 series
Ryse X series is actually made by John Deere !!!!
For another $1000 you can have an X series. Might go that route the next time.
Low end JUNK. Look at all the ads on Craigslist for 1 or 2 year old Deere mowers with bad engines or bad transmissions. I have a 25 year old LX178 I wouldn't trade even up for a new 100 series. How can Deere market this crap?
Snotnose tom These box store mowers are NOT made by JD !!! THey are made by MTD/Husqvarna for the entry level, cheap market !!! IF you want a JD built Mower go to JD and pay their Price !!!! By the way JD does NOT market the "crap" Box stores do with a mower painted green and yellow !!!
cheesy ad guy...i can imagine what a woman feels like on a cheap date with this guy who just wants to get in her "pocketbook"
mmmmm wanna lick that pocketbook soooooo bad
