Easy to follow and thorough step by step tutorials do it yourself (DIY) to help you with your broken lawn and garden equipment including snowblowers.

I do my best to teach you how to easily diagnose problems the fastest, quickest and most efficient way with real repairs beyond just replacing a spark plug. These tips are for both the homeowner and shop owner.

Whether it be a handheld, two stroke, two cycle engine like a chainsaw, weed eater, weed wacker, string trimmer, grass trimmer, line trimmer, hedge trimmer, strimmer, brush cutter, leaf blower, or four stroke, four cycle units like a lawnmower, wood splitter, lawn tractor, snowblower, pressure washer, generator or a ride on mower that needs parts installed or replaced, I’m your go-to guy.

My favorite brands of spark plugs are NGK and Champion and are the ones I recommend.

I’ve been a small engine mechanic for many decades and also run my own repair shop so my videos are loaded with tips and tricks that I have learned and want to share with you. You will also find many tool and product reviews from top brands on my channel as well.

The thing with the John deer lawn tractors are where the grease fittings for the blade spindles are the grease fittings are fine but they have sealed bearings so the grease cannot penetrate the bearings unless you take and pull the inner bearings seals off but thanks for letting everybody know about the grease fitting in the front I didn’t know about that one

i have that exact same tractor that i'm working on and have had for about 6 years. I love this lawnmower. i wouldn't want a new one, i have to work on it frequently, but i enjoy that anyway. keep up the good work dony boy. i see that you have kept going. that's great

[garryt]

You have no idea how many videos and sites I have been to for this information! THANK YOU! … liked and subscribed

[davidfarson]

Thank you for showing me the exact position of 5th grease fitting on the tractor. And that was great to add the reminder about the spindle grease fittings. Some mower decks have sealed bearing spindles. JD doesn't. Thanks again.

Not sure if it was mentioned on a previous post, however my JD D140 has the fitting angling slightly to the left which was very hard to notice due to the dirt and grease, etc. I kept trying to put the gun on straight and was getting grease everywhere until I noticed the angle of the fitting. Hope it helps someone...

I have the JD L120, I greased it today for the first time, and I did not see any on the spindles on the deck. Are they on the L120 and I'm missing something? I even cleaned the whole deck. Thanks guys.

[marshallborder]

Thanks cause nobody ever told or showed me, and I have owned my John Deere for over six years and today I put grease in this alemite for the first time . If you hadn't posted this it still wouldn't got grease in it . Thank you and utube !

[pointerhunter]

You're a good citizen for posting this video, I have been missing that front grease fitting for to long now!

[mollie]

Hi guy, do u know how to reset the services reminder.I can't get it to stop blinking. i did all the maintenance on john deere but its still flashing saying it needs service.Thanks

[bampsnh]

Just wondering if you have any thoughts on applying grease to the rack & pinion steering mechanism? Had to replace mine a few years ago due to it wearing out... maybe making too many turns?

[lindabowen]

Hey Dony, I've had a JD D140 for 3 years and have now lost power going up hills (20-30% grade). I've been reading that this is a problem with many of the lower end JDs. Anything I can do to improve the situation? I've seen your videos and find them to be the best and easily understood...any advice would be appreciated.

Don,

While we're on that subject what grease IYO is best? I've been useing a general purpose.

[dennisrobbins]

How do I know what grease fitting fits the lawn tractor?
I am new at this. I just bought a grease gun in Greece and I’m not sure I’m doing it right

[carolynjackson]

Thank you Donny.. you are the best.. You have helped me solve many problem with my 17 yr old John Deere LA 145..

[icandoit]

Hi Don, i was wondering what you think of john deere lawn tractors? Are they any better than the other brands? If so, why?

[adrianwillis]

Donnyboy...how do you check the seat pressure switch on lt150 lawn tractor for continuety?

[mnnomad]

Dony I thought I had a squeaky deck on a LX188 but after lubricating the blade drive spindles, the squeaky / scrapy noise seems to be coming from the front drive clutch. Is there any way to lubricate that?

[jeffreyanderson]

What is that Overlooked grease fitting for? On my D-105 it seems to be a different Size Zerk than the rest of them

Hey Donyboy, 73, I want to buy a lawn tractor and i would like your opinion, Is it an absolute must to have grease fittings on the wheels of your tractor or can you do without them. Will the one without grease nipples on the wheel give you problems down the road ?
