John Deere 325 - Engine Removal
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 окт 2024
- Step by Step!
In today's video, I'll be showing you how to remove an engine on a John Deere 325 riding lawn mower.
This engine needs to come out, because it has a significant oil leak from not only the crankshaft main seal, but also from the head gasket & the sump gasket.
This will be a full video series, so we'll be replacing those parts in upcoming videos!

I don’t learn a lot from your video because I’m a very good mechanic. That would normally call for some smart ass comment from me. However, you are probably the best RUclipsr I’ve ever seen. Details, tips and great speaking abilities I declare you the best! Keep up the good work! Liked and subscribed.
This is a great video! I just bought a 18hp 325 and discovered this problem. Thank you for the detailed instructions!
Great to hear!
You put together another one of your very helpful videos. I have a Kawasaki FC540V in a older JD 185 that I am pulling tomorrow. Your video just made my life easier. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Outstanding video. The quick explanations of why you do things in a certain order and for safety set this DIY from most others. I own a 1988 Porsche 928S4 and have done this same job on its V8 - and I wouldn't want to try doing this job on my GT275 without this excellent video. Small engines have their own quirks and challenges.
Thanks for watching Jedi!
Wow - great video which covered all the steps in detail. Well done!
Looking foward to the rest of the videos on this repair!!
Thanks for watching Dean!
You really know your stuff, great demonstration, your safety tips are well taken. 👍👍
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Man!! Will be attacking a JD GT262 today. Tommorow, replace that lower bearing on FC540V motor. I did drain oil and gas then rolled it over on its side and power washed the underside. Wife was "happy" as laundry room stunk of oil and grease. Might use a big turn buckle to remove large tensioner spring. Great safety tips but I've always been called one form of safety or another. Mother Safety > Captain Safety > Baron Von Safety but that sounds like underwear--BVS ;)
Thanks for the video. I used this on my 2000 JD 345 to get to the water pump. The air hammer was the trick to get the Electric PTO and other pulley off. That alone saved me time and money, send me the bill. ;)
Thank you for your help, info, and support. Good video, and I love my 325.
Thanks for watching Martin!
I forgot to mention, keep up the good work , I love the quality of your videos.
Thanks for the kind words Bill!
@@EliminatorPerformance im surprise you dont have more views and subcribers
@@ivankissi300 Eventually I will, and I'll probably get to a point where I won't be able to respond to all the nice comments people leave me!
Thanks for watching Ivan!
Thanks for the Video Man. I think I have to do this on on my 17 HP Kawasaki FH500V for my LX 277. I have had a slow leak for months. I imagine the engines are slightly different but this should be helpful.
Thanks for watching!
I believe the customer has chosen a very conscientious mechanic to repair his lawn tractor.
Thanks for the kind words!
Is there a “engine gasket kit” part# or supplier? Thanks for the informative video!
Thank you for the information!
You are quick Thanks. Can you explain the electric connector to the carb. It should have power during running?
Good day Yea those Kawasaki motors are very good motors. Always block machine. Neighbor jack car up to tie muffler up, fell off & kill him. Looking forward for next video. Thanks
Nice and explicit video. A question. I need to remove and clean my carburetor. Tractor has set for a long time. Is there a special tool to remove the studs that hold the carb to engine?
Double nut, take the nut off one side and double it up, one will act as a lock nut so you can remove the stud if necessary. Thanks for watching!
Great video!!!
Thanks for watching Bruce!
Full series on this mower here, video of belt replacement and Engine gaskets still to come!
Why not use the chain hoist to lift the front up to a 45 degree or more angle to work under the machine to remove the pulleys , bolts , old oil and what have you. That's how I do it it works great. I hate working on the floor.
I've done it before, but I honestly don't mind laying down, I'm still young lol
Once it gets hard on me, I'll start doing that all the time.
Also, I didn't want to move the couch (too lazy).
Lol, I'm getting old then....work smarter and not harder.
I’ve got a JD 335 with a 20 hp Kawasaki that the crankshaft pulley for the drive belt is seized on. Can’t pry on it at all due to the chances of bending it. Any idea how or what I can do to get the pulley off? Thoroughly enjoy your videos! My clutch fell right off, which I kinda expected as much oil as it was leaking! Lol!
Might have to bend the keepers out if that's the case. Taking a torch in there could end up melting the crankshaft main seal and then you need to pull the engine to replace. Other than a puller or heat, not much works apart from vibration from something like a pneumatic air hammer. Good luck.
My PTO clutch (same engine) fell off when I removed the bolt...a lot of oil over a long time.
Any reason you unbolted the motor before the pto clutch? Just curious
I knew the PTO would just slide off, if I thought it might be seized I would've definitely removed the PTO 1st
Another question. I watched the carb video and realized that it was really in bad shape. I bought new but upon removal I noticed a vinyl tube from a nipple at 12 o'clock that was just hanging in space. It was mushroomed out on the end so it definitely had been attached somewhere but I don't see where. where should it go? Can it just be blocked? I can send a picture if that is an option.
Cant find video of you replacing the seals in engine?
i sent another question but think the video was over and didn't transmit. The power connection to the carb. Is that supposed to be hot when tractor is running? If solenoid is stuck will that restrict gas flow?
Yes absolutely, I have a video on how to test them: ruclips.net/video/aRPmRBlqRqM/видео.html
Great video. Question for you. Trying unbolt the PTO clutch and the PTO clutch is spinning also. What do I need to do to keep PTO clutch pulley from spinning? Thanks
I got it. Had to stick a screwdriver down the flywheel. I'm replacing the engine. The original engine blew up.
I am looking for deck for a 325 John Deer.
Good luck finding one
Your unlike an surely it will be the only one comes from a Toro Dealership viewer, they hate JD's
Haha most likely!
