john deere gt235

I have todo a lot of maneuvering on my property and it’s very annoying that I have to engage the PTO every time I go into reverse. I’d like to override *whatever* is kicking out the PTO which doesn’t allow me to mow in reverse. Is there such a thing?? Thanks

I need a lawn tractor to handle a couple of acres with gentle slopes. A neighbor is selling his 2001 John Deere GT235 with ~250 hours on it for around $2500. It runs well and seems to be beautifully maintained. A couple of questions: - The consensus I'm seeing on here is that these are...

Hello all - I've never posted to a forum, but I can't seem to find anyone with a similar issue so here it goes. I recently picked up a 2000 John Deere GT235. It's in fantastic shape and everything works like new. I noticed yesterday however that the tractor seems to be leaning to the right...

JD GT235. 2002 Briggs and Stratton 18 HP V-Twin - Filled it back up with gas. - Fuel filter is clean - Fuel pump is pumping - When I spray starting fluid into the carb, it runs for a couple of seconds and then quits. It's clearly not getting gas. Since the fuel pump is working, I'm...

I'm looking at a used trac vac discharge chute adapter for my GT235. The model number is 179-8; the Trac Vac application guide says I need a 179 for my 48" deck. Does anyone know what the -8 means, and if in fact this is the right model for my mower deck? I've bought two of these things over the...

I'm trying to get deep enough to see what's wrong with steering mechanism and I need to remove deck. Tech manual says "remove depth stop knob." I cannot figure out how to do that. What's holding it?

Will post model number deck shortly. Thanks!!!

Ok winter job is to repair/rebuild the 18 horsepower Briggs & Stratton 350777 engine in my GT235.anyone have an old engine they wish to sell for parts? Need the crankshaft and block/cylinder and whatever other parts are avail.

Hi all, this is my first post on tbn. I have a 2002`ish john Deere gt235. Seems to a great tractor, has 428 hours on it. Have owned since aug of 2014, better then the Murrays and the craftsman that I owned in the past. I plan to change the host fluid come spring. Everyone says to not to...

Hey everyone, new to forum but have read in past for hints and tips. Best way to service hydro in my unit?? Thanks

First post here, been browsing for a while but finally registered. I'm finally ready to upgrade from my JD Garden Tractor to something with a FEL. Our property sits on about 5 acres total mostly lawn/yard and horse pasture. We do a lot of landscaping - meaning my wife designs/plant & I do the...

Hello - at the beginning of last season I had a complete tune up performed by a John Deere dealer. I have 2.5 acres probably used it 12 times. right before putting it away for the season, it sputtered, stalled and would not start again. Sadly the long winter rest did not cure whatever is...

I recently purchased an old (800 hrs) GT235. The forward and reverse pedals do not return to the "up" position quickly (if at all) after being depressed. The lawn tractor moves forward and reverse fine and strong when the pedals are depressed in that direction..it's just that it doesn't...

I have a John Deere GT235 that always starts no matter what. In the winter I always keep a little maintainer charger on it to keep battery fully charged. Somehow the ignition key got turned on and left on and now it won't fire. If the charger wouldn't have been on it it probably would've just...

Hi guys, I recently did a trade on a 99 GT235 that has sat outside uncovered for at least 5 years in someone's yard. It has the 44" mulching deck. The lady I got it from said it was in running condition when it was parked? Her husband passed away. I haven't even had time to look at it, or try to...

I am trying to help a single mom get her lawn tractor running. I has an 18hp B&S engine twin. It turns over just fine but will not start. I pulled the plugs and shot starter fluid in the plug holes but it would not fire or start to run. Pulled the plugs and they were wet so I know I got fluid in...

Hi, everyone; i'm new here, but hopefully i can get all kinds of good tips here.

I am selling my GT235. I has a 48c mulching deck and Briggs Vanguard 18hp v-twin. I also have another set of blades and some oil and air filters. Engine, tranny and deck all run great. It's very clean. Only selling to upgrade to a larger mower. Asking $2200 Thanks, Kevin

Hopefully (fingers crossed), I'll be selling my current house and moving soon. I currently have a John Deere GT235 with a 48" deck in good to very good condition. I think I paid ~$3,400 new for it in '01. What's it worth right now as a trade in on a bigger sub-cut tractor?

Does anyone else have experience with these 42 inch JD "Snowthrowers"? I bought a used one in October and am less than pleased with the performance. It ended up plowing more snow than throwing it. When it did throw, it was mainly throwing it on top of the machine. It mainly got clogged. I...

Hi all. For the amount of snow we get here in Northern VA, I opted to get a used "snowthrower" for my GT235 rather than the "snowblower" rig for my Kubota b7610. The snowthrower is the standard JD attachment for the GT235. We got our first inch or two of snow today and all I can say is I am...

I have a John Deer GT235 riding mower with a 48 inch mower and I am trying to find a bagger for it. Can I just use any 48 inch bagger system, such as the one I can buy at lowes? John Deere® 48" 2 Bag Bagger Item #: 227538 Model: BM21889 Thanks, jmakinst

I have an opportunity to buy a 2005 GT235 for $3000 from a private owner. Its never been used. only like 5hrs. on the clock. Does that sound like a good deal? How do these compare to the new x300 mowers which seem to be cheaper in price than the old GT series?

Hi folks, I am new to this site and am a Deere fan. I have been looking to upgrade from my LT133 to a garden tractor. I don't want to pay the new Deere prices for their larger machines so was looking at used ones. I found a GT235 for $2800 firm. It was in good shape but then I got a wild...

Hi, I'm planning to buy a GT235 in the spring. Does anyone know of any websites where I can get information on and pictures of the tractor? (Other than Deere.com) I drove one the other day, and it's really nice. I've only used a couple of different lawn tractors, mostly MTD and other store brand...

Hi, There are a couple of Deere dealers in my area. Went to one a few weeks ago to ask about the difference between the Scotts 2554 and the Sabre 2554. The response I got was "the paint job". I've been looking at the Scotts model for a while, and this was the first time I checked out the...
