The easiest way to disable reverse implement is to unplug the the connector at the transmission near the right rear tire.

When I saw your ramp, I thought "one inch from disaster". Glad it worked !!

We bought a 130 used with 70hrs in 2016 and now it has 189hrs. Been perfect, not one problems

I had a small ditch I could just back in and load. Priceless.

For the mow in reverse switch, I got a giant plastic clamp and clamped down on the switch. Another stratagy is to get a thin metal wire and wrap it on both of the 2 connection terminals to the switch to short it out so it should work

It doesn't 'struggle' on hills. It spins the tires which is expected going up a steep hill on grass with lawn tires.

Just curious if your fuel gauge/hour meter has died yet. Seems to be a huge problem with JD made around this time frame.

How do you start it the parking brake button is up on mine and won't go down and the clutch brake is stuck can you help me

[dannykerr]

I really enjoyed your make shift ramp more than the mower…great job!

You could strap that ramp to the bumper so it cant slide backwards, its an annoying extra step but i think its a necessary precaution.

I can’t remember seeing someone so unprepared for life.

I have a portion of my yard that is so hilly, it's like going up a ninja wall, but if you go straight ahead on the mower it works fine.

What was the promotional deal? I am looking for near me. 2199 is what they asking here?

[robginn]

Cool video that ramp was sketchy though.🤣

The blades will not engage with the parking brake on. Just FYI.

Hi, it seems I can’t even get the tractor to go forward. Any idea?

[Mowersofyoutube]

Yeah either way my mowers I have few steep hills that’s why I usally get a with a decent horsepower and big wheels, and I usually put chains on them

[lakepointebiblechurch]

No Auto Choke! All the way up with the throttle and hold there while cranking.

Lehew ... if you'd bought this from a dealer, you'd had a lot less new owner problems. Second, had you read the owner's manual you'd had less problems as well. And from what I've seen in this video, don't undo your safety features you need them.
