Someone is selling a 14 bushel bagger setup, but they had it on a 54" deck, x540. I have an x500 with 48". Does anyone know the difference between the blowers for the two size decks? According to my JD brochure, they both take the same bagger/shoot, but the blower is a diff. part.

I've noticed some of the new tractors and lawn equipment say to always run at full throttle. The x series seem to have plenty of power to do things at lower engine speeds. I know it depends on what you are doing, but if you have a cart with not much weight, or just giving a tractor ride with...

John Deere makes a mulch kit for the 48" deck for x500 that closes off the discharge etc. Would love to hear how much grass it can handle from x500 owners or from owners with similar tractors that have a mulching kit too. If grass gets pretty thick, does it work well? We have lots of leaves...

For the past month, my 175 hydro made a little white smoke at times when first started up, but usually it would go away pretty quick. Today I started it up after it had been sitting un-used for a few weeks. There was quite a bit of white smoke that lasted a few minutes before it went away...

I've been looking into getting a bigger, stronger tractor that I could use to plow snow, and haul our 15 cu.ft cart with firewood, and possibly mow. Also, I am getting addicted to John Deere lawn and garden tractors haha. I have a 175 Hydro I bought along the road for 600.00 which is a good...

John Deere 265 for sale, 1300 hours, Kawasaki FC540V engine. Has snow plow, mower deck. Deck has all new pulleys. Claims he has service records for oil changes, and always used synthetic oil. Has ag tires on it filled for weight and an off brand lawn cart (which I don't need so I would see...

I have a 175 Hydro with a Kawasaki engine. The motor makes quite a bit of valve/ticking noise, is that normal? Also there is a pretty loud rattle kind of noise coming from the bottom of the engine. Sounds like a hollow/pulley type rattle/noise. Any ideas on this model? Are there any common...

My 175 Hydro is leaking oil at the end of the axle near where the rear wheels go on. Anyone know anything about fixing this?

Thanks for all the help providing info about different lawn tractors over the last few weeks. Decided on a new X320 for my Dad, and it is a beauty! It really runs smooth and has a lot of power. My Dad was like the kid in Christmas Story when he gets the bb gun. One question for any x320 or...

It is for sale for 2750 which I think is a pretty good price, what do you think? Also, what should I look for on this model? It's hard to find potential problems on a model you're not familiar with! thanks

My owners manual says not the change the fluid in the hydro drive. Is there any reason why I shouldn't change it now? Can I just drain it and fill with SAE 30 Oil? How much does it take? Any other maintenance things I should do that isn't in the owner's manual? I don't have a tech. manual...

I remember seeing a post where somone had the whole list of models ever made by John Deere. I believe it listed what models replaced which as well. I can't find it! Anyone know where I can find it?

I've been shopping John Deere lawn tractors for a bit now. I've been wanting to buy one for my Dad who is around retirement age. He currently has a 107 Cub Cadet. Looking for something with a faster blade speed that cuts better, and easy steering. I just bought a 175 for myself and that's...

THere is a 175 Hydro local to me for 650.00 with a bagger and 38" mower. It runs good and the mower engages nice. The hydro drive is a little jerky, but it may just be the lever itself sticking as it was harder to push than my Dad's 107 cub cadet. The only other thing I noticed was it was...

I've been shopping for a mower for my Dad. I compared the x300 and x320 at the dealer and the x320 looks like a better tractor for what he mows. He has a lot of hills (not huge, but not much is level either). The lawn is pretty uneven too, so I think the 320's deck with more anti-scalp...
