This was excellent and made a 100% difference in how my lawn looked. Night and Day. I never would have thought that leveling a deck would be so easy and fast.

To the point, clear discussion and good audio, Well done. As a plus, no waste of time introducing a dog that we really don't care about.

I watched several other videos on this subject. I found yours much more I formative and much more instructive. Each step made sense. I am a retired high school math instructor and believe you are a great teacher

[parkerbirch]

Your one of the few guys who get it right.. Your lawn must look AWESOME!

[mikhailfarina]

This video is very well done. I was off when balancing the deck. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It's hard to find good instructional videos like this!

I enjoyed the video. I kind of saved some time when I leveled a deck. I cut TWO 2" blocks and marked them "side". I also cut ONE 1-13/16" block and marked it "front". No need to go back and lower the front. Just what I did.

Thanks for mentioning that last grease fitting. Your videos are so helpful. I didn’t know anything about my new (used) JD lawnmower before I started watching your video, and today I greased all the fittings, dropped the deck, pulled the old belt (ordered a new one), and sharpened the blades. Tomorrow I will redo the bearings so they can get grease. I think it’s lots of fun. Thanks, L100 Owner :))

Jim, thanks for the DIY video. I watched and decided to tackle the job just as you presented. I had done it once before but I used 2x3’s joe blocks and it was way off. Today I cut 2” blocks and had to some serious raising on the rear, but it’s now even and cutting nicely. Thanks again.

Like the other guy said in the troubleshooting comments....these videos are what YouTube should be. Excellent instructions I know I can follow. I believe I can get the mower running good again. Thank you so much.

Thank you for this vid. One thing that surprised me was how a few PSI in the rear tire affected the deck height. Just one of the many things I learned from this clean, informative, fun video.

Great video, thumbs up and subscribed! My S120 was just delivered and sure enough the deck wasn't level. I read how to do it in the manual then found your video. Very helpful to watch you do it before I did mine. All went well and I like my new lawn tractor. I also have 1/2 acre and think the Series 100 line is the right fit. Thanks!

And thank you for your many years of service. I joined the Army right after high school, 1966-69. Vietnam Vet 1968.

Fixed! I watched your video and corrected the uneven cut within 20 minutes. Followed all your steps. Thank you!!

I just wanted to say thank you for making the john deere diy playlist. Thanks to your instructions and guidance, I've been able to get my s100 in fighting form for the mowing season. Thank you

[NJDevilDad]

Thanks for the video and for demonstrating exactly what you are reading in the manual. I just wanted to add that this advice also holds true for the E100 series. (Pgs. 20-21 in my manual).

[aprilcomstock]

Thank you for teaching this 28 year old girl how to maintain and fix her lawnmower. I would never be able to keep it mowing without your videos!

[CermakBoy]

Thanks for this video, I have the d105 and this helped get the cut more level. The 1/8" lower on the front bolt helped. Thanks again.

[joepoe]

I wish I would have found your channel a few years back but I guess it’s never too late. I’ve learned a lot from your channel. Thank you.

I was searching for this info after noticing my hangers were opposite. One was straight down the other was backwards but in this video yours were the same way. I did watch your deck removal video and saw the both should be straight. Thanks for the video

Thanks a lot for taking the time and sharing, much appreciated!
