It made me happy to see a new vid from you, I hope you're doin well during all of this

Just got my craftsman running again and with electric start

Rust-oleum "Sun Yellow" is a great match for JD Yellow. It's only 6.95 here in Florida. I actually like it better as it's just a touch deeper yellow.

Got the inspiration from you to make our first mud mower, picked up a Murray for free from a neighbor and got it running the same day. Now it’s been pulley flopped and swapped on the back from a 9in to a 6. Of course the belt was an inch to short so back to the store for the 3rd time in the last 2 days. Making a Video soon on it if you want to check it out. Thanks for the great videos.

My 2008 JD la115 model came with the greaseable spindles. The plastic covers have an access hole in line with the nipples to be able to grease them. Thought that was a useful improvement from JD. Too bad their decks rust so badly Maybe if they were aluminum like some Honda's have.

I was hoping I'd see a video from you soon! Post more. Nice job on the deck rebuild!

Great video! idk seems out of place in the mower clan good thing it was just visiting 👍

Need to do that to my craftsman lt3000. Thanks for the vid!

Bring back the mud

the deck needs to be spray painted in yellow

chud327 is a mechanic

John Deere's decks were so much better designed than mtd decks. Better air flow,better spindles,better attachment points,and better adjustment points. I've a 2013 cub cadet ltx1040 that's been a good reliable machine,but I've always struggled to keep a good cut. With g5 gatorblades it cuts pretty good as long as the grass isnt to high. Mtd's old deck designs only had height adjustments on one side and mine has dropped over the years. If I level it its maximum cutting height is now only 3",which is ok,but just.

How's she goin'? Nicely done. Mowing like a boss now buddy!! Take care.

I put new ones on my craftsman couple days ago

Do u have a 20hp Briggs and Stratton engine head?

What do you think about cutting holes in the pulley covers so you can grease the spindles without pulling the deck?

I've only done that about a million times, i used to work for john deere !

Do the new quills hav greasless bearings? Do they hav open face bearings in them. Cuz if the bearings are sealed then wats the use of a greese zerk? Id like to know.

You need to do more mower vids

First🙋🏻‍♂️

Where did you get that John deer

If my Craftsman has 2 blades can I take 1 blade off and cut my grass my deck 42

Why did you not take the brake pully assembly apart? Did you just want to do it the easy way? or did you not know how to do it? Seems like a incomplete video. Kind of misleads the viewers that do now know how to do this type of job. And that are trying to learn.

Did I tell you this? If I did I'll delete. You might have some new viewers. A friend in the army was sitting on his bunk and sobbing. I asked "What's the matter, Johnny? Did you get a Dear John letter?" He answered, "No, this is a John Deere letter. We've been saving for a new tractor and the money I've been sending home from my Army pay put us over the top. Here's the picture. Ain't she a beauty (sniff)?"

Don't forget to level the spindle holes !

Takes a 10 and a 15 mm socket , should only take about 45 minutes!

My old John Deere has the same deck

Dont forget to lube the tensioner bracket

Looks like it needs a blade brake on the left side
