Marv, thank you for this video. I also have a JD X324. Really saved me when I put mine back on. Thanks!

Great video - thanks. Every time I do this job, not that often, I have to review the protocol to fully drop the deck and lock the foot pedal in the top position. One suggestion. The four deck wheels can be unlocked using the spring loaded pins, and rotated 90 degrees. There is one hole in the spindle that runs through the deck on each wheel, perpendicular to all of the other height adjustment holes we normally use. You rotate the wheels, lock them with the spring loaded pins, and the deck will roll out from under the mower. Makes it much easier to get back under the mower after the blade change. Just remember your initial wheel settings, raise the deck, and reset the wheels to their correct position. Thanks again for the video!

Thanks. I know about rotating the caster wheels. I have used them, but I find it quicker to slide the deck in and out, as long as I’m on smooth concrete. It’s a great suggestion though.

Hi Marv, You are a life saver. My owner’s manual stinks when it comes to all the little helpful hints in removing & putting the mower deck back in place. Your video saved me so much headache. It truly was a cinch working on it with your video as a guide. 50 thumbs up for a very helpful instruction guide. You wouldn’t by any chance have done a companion video on changing the large drive belt for the 3 blades would you ?? Thanks again. Eric

Thanks for the nice comments Eric. I have yet to change that belt, but if and when I do, I will record a short clip.

You can turn the deck wheels so that the deck rolls out from under the mower, instead of dragging it out.

Hi Marv! Nice job! A couple of things I noticed you might be interested in. When you grease the pulleys or anything else with grease fittings, you might try cleaning off fitting with a rag first so not to pump dirt in with grease. Also, that front nose wheel bracket can be unhooked without removing from tractor by shoving the deck forward from the rear, which will unhook the bracket arm. Best/DVK

What year is your 324? Mine is 16 years old / 354 hard working hours, and have only had a one pulley, one belt, three sets of blades, one seat, and yearly tune ups I do. JD the best mower I’ve ever owned. Greasing the pulleys is paramount as you said. A very rugged machine!

My 324 is a 2015. It has 340 hours. I also use it to blow snow in the cold North Dakota winters. I’m amazed that it always starts, even on the coldest of days. So far I am happy with it. Mine also gets used very hard, but regular maintenance is the key. I had a LX277aws. That was also a great machine. BTW, I put a JD seat cover on my 324 and that has been a seat saver.

Excellent video thanks, dumb question was up there a particular type of grease you use for the lubrication?

@marvleier5327 4 ай бұрын

Nothing special. Usually the cheapest multi purpose grease. I have a small grease gun and I buy a three pack. Those three little tubes last a long time. www.google.com/search?q=small+tube+lithium+grease&client=safari&sca_esv=c53fe40227671c8e&hl=en-us&sxsrf=ACQVn0-N-dE0FEjIfq7lv-Zs_-OWacw-tw%3A1714418772155&ei=VPQvZpqFCfntptQP4cmKyAk&oq=mini+tube+lithium+grease&gs_lp=EhNtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1zZXJwIhhtaW5pIHR1YmUgbGl0aGl1bSBncmVhc2UqAggBMggQABiABBiiBDIIEAAYogQYiQUyCBAAGIAEGKIESNeVAVD6GFiehgFwAXgBkAEAmAHSAaABtwmqAQU1LjQuMbgBAcgBAPgBAZgCC6AC_QnCAgoQABiwAxjWBBhHwgINEAAYgAQYsAMYQxiKBcICBxAjGLACGCfCAgsQuQEYgAQYDRjvBMICBxAAGIAEGA3CAgYQABgHGB7CAggQABgHGAgYHsICChAAGAcYCBgeGA_CAgsQABiABBiGAxiKBcICChAhGKABGMMEGArCAgYQABgIGB7CAggQABgIGA0YHsICBBAhGAqYAwCIBgGQBhGSBwUzLjcuMaAH0jo&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-serp#vhid=vt%3D16/prds%3Dcatalogid:10960777065349172756,gpcid:12966766233805611486,headlineOfferDocid:7540803000657234137,imageDocid:11497718304093721097,localAnnotatedOfferId:7540803000657234137,mid:576462380458985675,mno:3,pvo:3,pvt:hg,query:c21hbGwgdHViZSBsaXRoaXVtIGdyZWFzZQ,rds:UENfMTI5NjY3NjYyMzM4MDU2MTE0ODZ8UFJPRF9QQ18xMjk2Njc2NjIzMzgwNTYxMTQ4Ng,sori:0/vs%3D0&vssid=uvpv-713&piu=ps:18

@@marvleier5327 Thanks, my wife and I changed the blades out this past week. It went smooth except the deck was not attached when we were done for some reason, but it was an easy fix. Thanks for the video it was perfect. 😀

Hey kind of related question, how do those black pulley guards come off so you can clean the grass outta there? Thanks.

@marvleier5327 3 ай бұрын

You need to remove the bolts, then they slide off. One side slides backwards and the other slides to the side. It took me awhile to figure it out too.

@@user-co7oo8xc5x , thanks for the kind words. I created these videos for my sons. They aren’t around when I work on the mower, but I want them to know how to do this stuff. I designed these videos to be to the point, no nonsense and with just enough detail so they should be able to remove the deck, sharpen the blades, and reinstall the deck. I am finding that many others are finding them useful too. 😀
