john deere x300

My JD X300 has no fuel gauge but has a socket for a low fuel level warning light. Has anyone added the low level warning feature or added a fuel gauge?

I have a John Deere X300 bagger with a M120610 lid that has a bad seal. It looks like a regular (car type) weatherstrip. When ever I mow, grass blows up through the seal and I'm covered with grass. I checked on partscatalog.deere.com trying to come up with a part number and didn't score...

I'm having problems with replacing my mower deck belt on a JD X300. The original broke. I measured it and it measures 141". All the replacements I find are 146". I've tried one of them but it twisted and hopped off. I suspect the extra length was part of problem. Googling I see lots of...

I am curious, my JD X300 deck height adjusting knob recommends the deck height be set to 2.75 for this particular mower. Why this particular setting for this mower ? I have mine set at 2.5. Just wondering why JD recommends that height for this mower.

I need a good way to secure a Deere x350 in the back of a 2021 Ranger with the short bed. the tie down are in front of the wheels by alot. Any ideas or photos? Also, storing the ramps themselves are hard. Thanks!

I have a 2009 X300 Rider and after cutting the grass for 20-30 minutes it starts surging real bad and finally will quit. Sometimes if I push up and hold the choke lever it will continue to run but only for a short while. The x300 with a Kawasaki motor only has 90+ hours on it. When this...

Was mowing fine, then acted like the deck was stopped up, choked down, turned off deck, raised deck, now starter just clicks, battery at full charge,fuses good!! Tried bypassing solenoid, Nodda

When I engage the PTO switch on my x300, I can hear a "click" and the same "click" can be heard when I disengage the switch. Although it is clicking, it is not engaging the clutch to power the blades. This clicking sound would seem to indicate their is power to the clutch. What would you...

Hello to all. I am new here to posting but I try to read some from tome to time. I bought my lawn tractor new in 2006, about 575 hours on her. Last year it started acting up. I can cut fine with no problem but if I disengage the mower deck for any reason it will not re engage. I found that if I...

I have a JD X300 with Kawasaki FS541V engine. Only needs choke when it has sat for a while or cold. Problem is, the choke does not open back up when the choke lever returns from closed position. Everything I find seems to indicate a bad choke spring. Do I have to disassemble the carburetor...

I have a 2010 JD X 300 with Kawasaki engine, I am having to try several times to get the starter to engage, when I turn the ignition I get nothing not even a click but if I try several times it will start. I have taken off the starter and lubed the spiral gear on the solenoid and I know the...

Hoping to find a used Trac Vac chute that will fit my X300 42" mower deck.

I am gathering all the parts for a snow cab. I designed some parts to print on my 3D printer so I can use 3/4" EMT Conduit. My plan is to make the top out of 3/4 plywood which will create it's own structure (no need to strengthen as it's rigid enough). I want to use Lexan for the windows with...

I thought I would vent my anger with JD. I have an X300 that I bought new in 2010, it has 378 hours on it and I have taken excellent care of it, serviced it, kept in out of the weather and all around treated like a new born. The transmission is shot and I am disappointed. The cost of replacement...

No one open today in town to ask. Are the back tires tubeless? Nothing in the manual so states. Thanks for any replies.

Fitting a Murray Snow Plow to a John Deere X300 I posted this on here 5 years ago, but all the details pointed to my old web page. So I decided to repost it. My old Scotts tractor was getting weak in the trans so I purchased a great John Deere X300. This meant all the attachments I had for the...

My boy wants a mulching kit for his 42" mower deck. We can buy just the plastic plug for the discharge shoot fairly cheap, but when mulching blades are added, it gets kind of spendy. Are mulching blades needed for an excellent mulching experience?

I have done plenty of research so far on multiple forums and other sites. I need a riding mower that could potentially take light duty implements down the road, but most likely will only see mowing about 1 - 2 acres of yard. From most of my reading I have concluded that I don't really want...

I have a x300 3 years old. Having a problem starting it. I have replaced the solonoid and still will not start at the switch. I can cross contact the post on the solonoid and it will start. What esle could it be?

Okay, so this tractor has been great for the last 4 years. I change the oil, lube it, change filters and spark plugs as recommended. And it is never in any weather, always stored dry and mostly clean. :rolleyes: The last time I used it this past fall it started rough and then while working in...

My dad has an x300 lawn tractor and the main drive belt needs replaced, not the mower belt the actual drive belt. He is trying to find out how to replace it without taking it to a dealer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Can someone tell me the best way to change the main drive belt on this tractor? I don't see how to take it off of the trans. and engine without having to disassemble the tractor. Any UTube help or whatever would be greatly appreciate. The idler pulley in the back of the tractor fried. Thankyou.

Replaced axle seal. Filled with dealer recommended JD Hydraulic oil. Ran for 1hr and now will not climb small hill with or without mower running. Engine RPM up, no power to climb. Internal oil reservoir filled to specs.

I've put in clean fuel, replaced plugs, it starts and runs for a few seconds when I spray starter fluid in the carb. I am thinking this might be some sort of shear pin/bolt that has gone, my blades take a lot of abuse. If anyone knows if this is the case and can point me in the right direction...

Hello, I have a 2009 John Deere X300, and I bought it with the mulching deck. I now find what I really need is the regular deck that accepts the bagger. I have called and actually gone to the dealer to get the part numbers for these two parts. They refuse to give me the part numbers and just...

Hi there. We bought a 2nd hand mower to complement our JD tractor. I went to start it the other day and although the engine turns on, there is no movement in either forward or reverse. The parking brake is off, the bypass valve lever for free wheeling is all the way in but there is still...

Hey all, Hoping someone can help me. I just removed the snow blower attachment on my X300 and installed the mower deck. Problem is the lift is reversed. When I release the locking mechanism the pedal drops all the way down with the deck lowered. I have to physically pull on the pedal to raise...

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the X300? I'm went to mow for the first time this year and my mower wouldn't start. I have a new battery and everything looks good. It worked when I put it away last year. Thanks for your help. Larry

I just used my mower for the first time. Does not seem as balanced as my L111 (top heavy) was but feels sturdier, steers better and runs smoother. That said, grass gut is no better or worse and the tranny with the exception of not slipping in reverse feels the same as the L111 which I expected...

Greetings all Have this riding mower and after 400 hrs of use power is lost after about 30 mins of use. Have cut many acreages so it has been taxed for sure. Told it is a SEALED tranny so no access and have to replace. it.- $1100 for new one. Any way of overhauling or rebuilding it? Parts from...

I recently ran aground while mowing the yard. I set the deck a bit lower than usual and unfortunately ran over a surface root and buried one of the blades into the root. The tractor died immediately. I was able to get the tractor dislodged, and it started up and ran but the deck was slightly...

have a friend's JD x300 (maybe 3-4 years old??) that surges on all speeds. Kawasaki 17 horse engine, with 340 hours. Is just rrrRRrrRRrrrRRrrr..........surges up one second and down the very next second. Maybe some solid state rev limiter gone bad??

Hi everyone. I have a 2008 X300 w/73 hours which I'm looking at upgrading to the X310. I use it primarily for snow blowing for my fairly large driveway which requires the use of the leg to raise and lower the blower. I like the X310 for it's hydraulics. Does anyone have experience with the X310...

Have John Deere X300

Does anyone know of a professional lawn mower blade sharpener that can be purchased for personal use?

I have a 2010 X300 with the 42C mowing deck. I have a very wooded lot with lots of trees. I didn't like the chute on the mower deck and wanted to convert it to a mulcher, mainly to remove the chute and not have to worry about blowing the grass and leaves in one direction. When the leaves get...

My old Scotts tractor was getting weak in the trans so I purchased a wonderful John Deere X300. This meant all the attachments I had for the Scotts may not fit. Here I'll describe what I had to do to attach the Murray 24478B 46" Snow Plow to my X300. Since the 44 inch Deere plow was $550...

Hi, I'm in the market for a tractor to mow my 1.2 acre yard, which is mostly flat with some gentle slopes. I would also like to attach a bagger in the fall when picking up leaves (would side discharge otherwise), and maybe pull a cart with mulch from time to time. My previous tractor was an...

Hi, I'm in the market for a tractor to mow my 1.2 acre yard, which is mostly flat with some gentle slopes. I would also like to attach a bagger in the fall when picking up leaves (would side discharge otherwise), and maybe pull a cart with mulch from time to time. I was ready to pull the...

I have a two year old JD LA130 that is ready to be put out of it's misery. I can't complain too much, I have used, abused and rode it hard trying to get my property in shape to build. I have been nursing it along but have spent as much in repairs as I originally paid for it. I don't want to...

Looked at both an drove both. The deere was a better ride, but the cub has everything including more HP, larger deck, tighter turn, sturdier frame, similar decks albiet the Cub is 50" to JD 42", and finally they both use a Kawasaki. Which to choose? JD about 3k and the CC at 2k.

I read this qoute earlier and was wondering if there was any validity to the statement. "Do NOT get an X300 or anything else with a K46 or any other trannie that is not serviceable unless you want to give JD another $900 after each 92 hours like they want from me" :omg: Any truth in this? I...

LA135SE Warranty 120 Hours or 24 Months. MSRP $1,899. Street price $1899. X300 Warranty 300 Hours or 48 Months. MSRP $2,999. Street price $2,899. In the case of 135SE, what would an extended warranty that equals X300 standard warranty, add to the $1,900 cost? Today, i viewed the two machines...

I can get a one year old blower with all the goodies. Does anyone have any experience with this blower on an X300 series? I'm in Northern MA and my driveway is about 120 ft long. Thanks

Has 90 hours, 2 years old. Moving to a smaller place for a year while we build on our land. Too big for the rent house and I'll be purchasing something much larger once we build. I see a few on craiglist around that don't seem to sell when priced 2200 and up. I was thinking $1800. Sounds...

Well after LOTS of work my old craftsman 18Hp Garden tractor is back up and running (thread here : http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/lawn-garden/145137-craftsman-briggs-18hp-running-1-a.html ) Ive been mowing with it for a little while, and im starting to think that mower technology has...

My Scotts 2046 (made by JD) is on its last legs - the K51 Tuff Torq transmission is fried, and despite my modest repair attempts, I don't think it's prudent to invest in a full re-build of the trans. That said, it's time to decide on a new tractor, and since there are no local Cub Cadet service...

We are needing to replace our aging JD LX172 38" cut with a new lawn tractor. We need to stick to small deck size (42") hydrostatic (for my wife) and mulching deck. We have narrowed it down to these two, but would like feed back from members on this board. So my observations: The GT2542...

Looking at these three. CC $3200 JD $2750 K $3400 Leaning towards the CC, seems this model CC may have a better Rep. What do ya'll think?

Sorry to ask so many questions, I just want to get the best mower for my money... I found a 2002 LX255 for $2800 which seems high, but maybe not. It has 2 hours on it. Would this be a better machine than a x300 for $3000? I haven't found much info on the LX255s since on the JD site it just...

I need a riding mower for about 1 acre of mowing, some day it will be nice grass, right now there is some heavy mowing to do. I have been looking at the John deere which is x300, Kawasaki engine with 17 hp, or the Husquavarna 15 hp with kawasaki engine, 3200.00 vs 1999.00, both with baggers, I...
