John Deere L110 riding lawn mower

by Marsha
(Moore)

My husband and I purchased our John Deer from Home Depot in July of 2004.

We have had this riding mower ever since, with minimal repairs needed. Mainly just the normal wear and tear type things: blade replacement, oil changes, belt replacement.

My husband did have to replace the spindles on the mowing deck that hold the blades on this year and weld a weak spot by the discharge chute on the mowing deck, but after 4 years of continuous use that's not to bad.

On the whole this has been a durable riding lawn mower. We have over 1 acre of land which is grassed and the John Deere does a great job.
The John Deere is also used to haul a utility wagon for yard work: cut limbs, leaves, grass cuttings, and misc., so it gets quite a work out.
We have had other riders in the past (Craftsman, Murray, Sears).

The John Deere we have now has lasted the longest of all the riding lawn mowers. Price wise it is more expensive than the other brands we've owned, but has lasted longer, so I guess it has evened itself out on the original cost.

When we purchase another rider lawn mower we will definitely buy another John Deere.

L110 running problem - Smoking
by: Country Boy

Hello Anton.
Can you be a bit more clear on you communication. You mention clutch, mower running, smoking, burning smell.

Are you speaking about the deck/Blades engaging system?

Or

Are you talking about the drive system?

If you are refering to the DRIVE system, there is a tensioner pully which is engaged when the left foot pedal is released and disengaged when the Left pedal is pressed.

If you are experiencing problems when the tensioner is disengaged by pressing the left pedal, you might have a broken spring or a sticking tensionner pully pivoting assembly.

To access the pully assembly, you will have to remove the deck.

Any questions, write back.

L110 runs, but smokes when clutch is disengaged
by: Anton

Hello. When my L110 is running, as long as the clutch is engaged everything seems fine. When the clutch is disengaged, the tractor will not move forward when the forward pedal is depressed, and after about a minute there's a scraping sound followed by a burning smell. Any idea what's going on?

Uncut Grass Left Behind?
by: Country Boy

Hello Mark. I see you are having a problem with uncut grass. The reason is, your blades are not turning at the correct speed. Two things would cause this problem and they are;
1. Check the Pulley Brake System. The Blade Pulleys are connected to the Blade Tensioner Assembly. When the blade PTO lever is engaged, the Brake assembly should engaged. If the brake assembly is hanging up, this prevent the DECK BELT TRNSIONER from traveling to full travel for maximum tension. So check the brake assembly. Also when the pads are worn and you disengage the the PTO lever, the brake can rotate past their normal position. The common cu,lprit will be the brake on the left pully.check to make sure the brake assembly on the LEFT Pulley is position towards the front side of the Pulley and not to the rear.

W. Check your spindles to make sure they. Are moving freely and are not binding or frozen up.

I have been having problems eith my L-110 doing the same thing. My left pulley brake shoe kept rotatong past its normal resting position each time I disengage the Blade PTO. So I finally disconnect the rod and remove the brake assembly from the Left Pulley.

Bad Cutting Problems with JD L110
by: mark

I have a JD L110 with 75 hours (7 years old) and have started having very bad cutting results. I replaced the blades and still no improvement. I have to go super slow and still get a very bad and uneven cut. Lot of grass blades uncut. Even mowing at a snails pace, still have to make two passes for a clean cut. I have st augustine grass and cut it every week. Suggestions welcome on how to fix the problem.

L-110 Blade Engagement Problem
by: Country Boy

Hello folks, It is Country Boy once again. Yes I got my 9 Hour rest after yesterday workout.

Anyway, I would like to share with you, While I was cutting the 10 acres I experience a problem when I try to engage the deck belts.

After engaging the blade lever, the blades were not turning. This was a result of the TENSIONER PULLEY ASSEMBLY was stuck. It has to do with the BLADE PULLEY BRAKES.

I resolve the issue by raising the DECK to it's HIGHEST SETTING, Engage the Blade Lever, and Increase the Engine RPM to CUTTING SPEED.

This was just and observation I experience.

Take Care now.

Go Billy
by: Country Boy

Hello Billy,
You are absolutely correct. If a person does not do maintenance regularly, the mower will definately give trouble. I myself have 2 John Deer Lawn Tractor. A L110 and a L130.
I will say this much Billy, I have been using synthatic oil 10 - 30. Oil in the motor and I use a Fram Long life filter. I will say this much, the oil level always stay up and also clean.

I don't know if you realize, these Kholer engines use hydraulic lifters for the valves.

Another thing Billy and to all those folks whom have experience starter problems, try starting in this fashon.

With the throttle in idle position or choke off, crank the engine first. While cranking the engine, slowly engage the choke until the engine starts the back of 25% on the choke.

Well folks, I am signing off now, just finish cutting 10 acres of lawn with my L110. 7 hours in da seat. Me tiered.
By for now.

My 2002 L110
by: BILLY

I bought my L110 at Home Depot in 2002. I maintain this tractor myself with no difficulties changing blades, oil and filter, engine is the Kohler 17 1/2 hp and I have only changed 1 belt in this time frame. I grease my spindles regularly and I have put this tractor through pure lawn "HEll". I mow commercially 30 yards monthly.
No other problems. I will definitely get another DEERE if I can ever wear this one out. GO JOHN DEERE. I guess I got a real good one....

changing deck belt
by: Country Boy

Removing the deck is not a great deal of trouble.

To remove the deck, you first must place the height selector to the lowest setting.

Next you remove the belt from the engine pully.

Disconnect the belt engagement cable.

Remove the pin from the drag bar in front of the deck and seperate the drag bar.

Remove the pins from the hanger assembly on the deck on both sides.

The deck is now ready to be removed.

Deck Bet Change on L110
by: Country Boy

Hello and good day to you on your upcomming Deck Belt Change. I encourage you to do the belt change. It should take you about 10 or 15 minutes.

First you need to lower the deck to the lowest setting.

Second, you need to remove the belt from the Engine Pully.

Now you can remove the belt from the deck pully.

NOTE: you might experience some difficulty getting the on the IDLER pully because of the BELT KEEPER.
If you experience difficulty, you might consider removing the pulley.

While you are changing the belt, rotate each of the Blade pully and check the Blade Hub Bearing for roughness or tightness when rotating the hub.

Also check the Hub Pylly Brake Pads. If these are worn excessively, it will cause the brake assembly to be flipped by the blade pully.

If the pads are ok, the make sure the mowre is at idle before disengaging the blade belt. High RPMS at blade disengagement will cause excessive blade pully brake pad wear and also cause the brake assembly to flip.

Well, that is all for now. Feel free to write back,

Country Boy

Can someone tell me if I can change the belt on a L-110 john deere without disconnecting the mower deck? I got close to 200 hours on mine and belt has some cracks in it, so making plans to replace it.Looks like if you drop it down all the way, it might be a way to do it.

Deck Spindle Making Noise
by: Anonymous

Hello Mr. Or Miss Noisy Deck Spindle.
I would like to share with you, due to the fact that the bearings in the spindle are sealed bearings, there is no application for greasing.

If your spindles are noisy, this means the bearing seals have deteoriated and the balls in the bearing has no grease in them.

I have two John Deer lawn tractors. A L-110 and a L-130. When I replaced the spindles, I placed a nylon washer on top of the bearing before installing the pully.

The purpose of this washer, is to keep grass cuttings from comming in contact with the bearing seals.

If you clean you machine after each use, you may not need to do this. But remember, the top bearing is exposed to the element.

it is possible to purchase new bearings, or bearings and shaft or new spindle.. I find it easier to purchasenew spindles. The come complete and ready to install. Just remove the pully firts, then the blade, then the four bolts that attaches the spindle to the deck.

Remember, it is difficult to have a greasable spindle. This is because of the vertical installation. Most of the grease would end up on the lower bearing. That is why the spindles are not greasable.

I have found one vendor which supply John Deer parts at a reasonable price. It is located in Minnisota and is named "Petes Small Engines" I have gotten parts from them for both my lawn tractors and they ship via the Post Office too.

Well, this conclude the Spindle issue. Happy layn Mowering.
Tomorrow I go cut my 1 1/2 acre and also cut a neighbor 10 Acre to. So both my John Deer will be chopping away.

Thanks for reading.

My son bought his L110 from the dealership in 2000. We've replaced the spindles, several belts, and welded the weak spots around the base where the spindle attaches. Other than that, its been a great machine. About 2 acres every other week.I wouldn't hesitate to buy another when the time comes. This one still runs cherry, so we're in for the long haul.

Starter Problem
by: Anonymous

Hello to all,
I see lots of you say you have starter problem.
For starters, here are some concerns you may want to consider.

Most important, if your lawn tractor does not have enough or is fully charged, this condition can damage your starter. When you turn the key, the enging should crank smoothly. If it surges, the engine has too much compression. So a combination of low battry voltage and high compression is the common cause of starter failure.

First you should make sure the battry is fully charged, especially if the tractor has been sitting for two or three weeks between uses.

Second, try cranking the engine before applying the choke. This will reduce the possibility of compression backlash. When the choke is applied before cranking, too much fuel enter the cylinder causing high compression. High compression causes a high voltage and amprage on the starting system also causes excessive heat on th starter heat.

Third, I use to have hard Starting when I used conventional oil, but now have easy starting. Since I switch to synthetic oil 10-30 grade. Also the oil stays cleaner and lubricate easier. Yes the type of oil you use also cause hard starting.

Anyway, that is all for now, so remember, crank engine first and while cranking, then slowly engage the choke.

Keeping Up With Your John Deer Lawn Tractor
by: Country Boy

Hello,
I am Back

PROBLEM WITH TRACTOR RUNNING
I purchase a L-130 from a neighbor for $100.00 This mower was sitting under a tree for a year or two. The neighbor purchase it new. I took it home, stripped it down and refurbish the entire unit. This unit has a 22HP 2-cylinder engine.
Problems I found, when you let your fuel evaporate inside the carburetor, it leaves a red gummy residue. This affects the Shut off solenoid which is installed inside the Carburetor bowl (Sticky). I cleaned it up and got the engine running.

For oil, I use Wal-Mart Super Tech Synthetic 10-30 oil and Fram extended guard filter. With the L-130, I had a problem with it idling at low idle and would shut off at that setting.

My solution to that is, I added the recommended portion of Marvel Mystery Oil to the quantity of Fuel as shown on the Marvel Mystery Oil. Container.

After cutting 1 1/2 Acre of grass which was about 12 inches high, the lawn mower now idles ok.

One thing to consider is, the fuel you now get at the stations, now contains Ethanol. These engines were not design to burn Ethanol blend fuel. The alcohol causes the engine to burn hotter, which affect the metals in the combustion chamber and valves. this is the primary cause of engine failure.

By adding recommended quantities of Marvel Mystery Oil to your fuel tank, you need not worrying about carburetor clogging up. the Marvel Mystery Oil will keep all your intake system protected.

NOTE: during the down season, you should run your machine at least 2 times each month, so as to keep your machine running smoothly.

I think I have addressed some of the issues at hand.

Anyone having any more questions, feel free to write me back

Concern Lawn Mower Owerners
by: Country Boy

This message is being addressed to everyone whom has a John Deer.

I have Automotive Maintenance experience. A lawn tractor is not that much different when compare to your vehicle.

I will address some of the issues you all are concerned about, from cutting different terrain to maintenance and storage.

I will like to address different issue about John Deer equipment for easy maintenance.

To access the blades, spindles, or clean the under deck, you need to remove just 5 clips.

REMOVING THE DECK FROM YOUR LAWN TRACTOR
L-100, L110 and L-130 Tractors

FIRST: you should lower the Tractor Deck to the Lowest Setting.

SECOND: If you look under the foot rest of each side, you will see 2 clips securing the support bard between the deck and the chassis. you remove the 2 top clips on each side and allow them to rest on the deck.

THIRD: You need to remove the tow shaft clip in front of the deck, and remove the tow shaft from the deck.

FOURTH: Remove the deck drive belt from the pulley

FIFTH: Slide the deck from under the tractor from either side of the tractor.

Now you have the Deck free to do whatever maintenance you desire.

CUTTING VARIOUS TERRAIN

When cutting rough terrain and you are concerned about the tractor or the deck bogging down, you can adjust the height guide wheels to a lower setting. This is accomplished by removing each wheel and install it in a different lower hole which will prevent the deck from going any lower than the wheel setting.

Rock Solid
by: Mike

I purchased this mower new in 2004 when we bought this .78 acre property. The grounds are mixture of flat/sloped/rolling and plenty of obstacles to get around. I will admit that I have not given this tractor the respect it deserves since it has only seen 3 oil changes and few proper cleanings. It has cut through things it was never meant to, ridden over things it never should have, and generally treated fairly rough. I have NEVER(other than a battery replacement) had a single issue with this machine and that is not a lie. After reading about so many problems with some I am going to treat this Deere much better, it certainly has earned that. I must say that it was purchased new directly from a Deere dealership and I would not hesitate to buy one again. Actually I'm thinking about a Zero turn.

I'm am ready to upgrade after 9 years of use. Nothing but good!

fuel pump
by: mark Mc

I've owned the L110 for about 5 years now. The first 2 were horrible as it needed to go back to the shop for tune ups because it would never run right for more than half a season. They kept telling me my gas was old or something like that. I knew a little bout engines so I knew it was the fuel system so I found out a new fuel pump was relatively cheap and easy to replace so I sent for one on a lark. Lo and behold the new pump worked entirely differently. The design was clearly different tho it fit right where the old one fit. And since then I've never had another problem. I'm a bit annoyed with Deere because I clearly had a defective pump, and since Deere clearly changed the way that the pump worked, they must have known it too. So I was out too tune up costs and the cost of pick up and delivery of my mower.

You get what you pay for
by: Lon

The weak link in the L110 or any of the L series mowers is the deck.Depending on how rough your land is and how much you cut you will most likely be welding something within a few years.I have twice in the last few years.The up side to that is it takes about two minutes to get it out from under the mower
I think the 110 is rated for 3/4 acre and runs around 1500. 1700.I do think you should purchase from your JD dealer .It will not cost any more and they need the buisness HD is fine but try and buy those hard to find parts at HD.
I digress,the 110 is a reasonable mower for a reasonable price,If you want more it's out there but you guessed it so is the $$

I have an L110 from Home Depot since 2002. My house is on a residential lot, slightly sloped at ~ 1 acre. Have never needed to take it in for service. All I've done is change the oil and oil filter each season, with the occasional new spark plug and battery across the 9 years I've had it. Sharpen the blades myself. Never had to touch/adjust the mower deck. Like others have said, it's an entry level mower that (in my case) has paid off in spades.

JD L110 - Resurected
by: David

I would like to say, I acquired a JD L110 with the Kohler 17.5 Motor. It has 475 hours on it. The previous owner did not do any maintenance, not even an oil change. It had the original oil filter form the time of purchase.

It would start but had no go power and the exhaust would glow very RED. I then realized there was a timing problem. I took it in to a shop where i was told a pin was shared off and it is now working ok. They also told me, the deck spindle need to be replaced. They wanted too much for the parts so I found the parts online. i will say, i have found any parts for my JD L110 online. There is a place in Wisconsin, Maryland and Missouri where i have purchased parts.

I currently have a problem where the mower is blowing the fuse. When the Voltage regulator is connected, it starts and run for a minute then the fuse blows.

With the regulator disconnected, it starts and the fuse does not blow. i replaced the regulator and with the new one it still does the same. i have a new battery and problem is still there. Any suggestions?

Great Mower for the price...
by: Yard Master

Sorry to hear about your blown engine, but at the same time I've never seen ANYONE blow an engine on a maintained riding mower(NOT SAYING YOU DIDN'T MAINTAIN YOUR ENGINE, JUST SAYING). I've had my L110 since Nov. of 2002 and I have over an acre of Bermuda to cut. I tune it yearly and have never had a problem with the engine, matter of fact it runs like a sewing machine! The Kohler engine starts quick and runs strong.

Howe owners that run to their local Home Improvement store and purchase a Deere need to keep in mind, these are entry level John Deere mowers. John Deere makes a very high quality machine for more money. The entire L line was designed to compete against Troy-Built and Craftsman, MTD, and they do that VERY well. I currently have two neighbors who bought Troy-Built riding mowers and both of them have had to have several things fixed including the engines.

Anyone looking to purchase the current L series from Lowe's or Home Depot will get a quality mower that will deliver many years of service on normal sized lawns. If you have anything over an acre and a half, you should consider a higher end riding mower/tractor.

The only reason I couldn't give 5*'s is the fact the parts are rather expensive compared to similar mowers. The decks on these mowers could stand to be a little thicker as well, then again the higher end Deere's come with thicker cut decks. This is one of the trade offs of purchasing an L series. Most L's are $2200 and below.

All in all, it's a great riding mower for the price, but keep in mind you're not buying a John Deere tractor that can do "anything". It's simply a riding mower and that's it...

Easy to drive and manouver
by: Anonymous

John Deere L110 I have had this riding lawn mower for 4 years now. Being a single woman, I wanted a reliable brand with a good reputation. I got that and more. I am able to do the maintainance myself, which is a big money saver.

The instruction manuel is easy to follow. I have changed the oil, the fuel filter, oil filter, battery, and air filter myself every year. I changed the blades too. A little more challenging, but doable.

The mower is easy to drive and manouver. I have a wooded back yard and am able to whip around trees very efficiently. It starts easily first time every time.

Even first start up inRepll the spring, even though I don't do any "winterizing". My lot is 1/3 of an acre.

I get 3 or 4 mows out of a tank of gas. Not too bad, I don't think. I have the bagging attachment. It is a little tricky to hook up, but holds a lot of clippings and leaves. I only empty it when I am done with the lawn.

Replacement parts and accessories are readily available at the John Deere outlets as well as Lowes and Home Depot.

Who knows, maybe someday I'll buy the plow attachment and get rid of my snow plow contract.

I would definitely purchase this brand in the future if I ever need to replace this one, which I doubt. My neighbor still uses his fathers John Deere that is 30 yrs old.

We purchased our Deere about 5 years ago from a local John Deere authorized dealer. Having a rather large to care for we decided to go with what we thought to be the best brand of lawn mower around.

We have to say we haven't been disappointed one day! Our lawn poses a variety of different challanges. We not only have level ground but much of the area is on a steep incline. With the wooded area we have on the side we often have branches that have broken that the Deere easily handles. It is easy to navigate around the trees and large bolders that landscape our yard.

We decided after the first year to purchase the 6.5-bushel rear-bagger with a chute that runs from the side discharge. Having the clippings all taken care of without any manual labor is certainly the way for most to go I would say.

Althogh we have thought at times we should also purchase the mulch kit but haven't done so to date.

LAst year we decided to take out little work horse to another level buy purchasing a 44-inch snow blower, a 46-inch snow blade and a sun canopy.

Some have said we are getting a little obsessed with our lawn tractor but we feel the investment is worth it when you have a great product that we feel saves you time and money.

It may not be anything fancy with all the bells and whistles but if you are looking for a quality product and something you can add to as you go along I think this is a great choice. We look forward to many more years with out Deere!
