John Deere E100 First Oil Change and Secret Upgrade?!

Well, its now overdue for its first service (dump and fill) and I should actually grease it again one of these days too. Yes, I have a family member that works for Case IH. If Case still sold lawn tractors I would have bought one. That being said I really like the look of John Deere's. Can't beat green and yellow! Also I apologize for stooping to click-bait... but I definitely appreciate your view!
Every comment helps the channel, so I certainly appreciate the feedback good or bad. That being said, a fram oil filter isn't going to kill this lawnmower engine. Its essentially just a lawnmower that you can ride that has John Deere stickers on it. You will never get all the old engine oil out during an oil change unless you are completely flushing the entire system with new oil. When I was researching different ride on lawn mower models I called my local John Deere dealership and they didn't seem too overly thrilled that John Deere even offers these small mowers and they just recommended I go to a big box store and buy it there. That was pretty surprising for me, but it gave me the impression they didn't really care to have time for small lawn "tractors". This video is meant to be half instructional and the rest a big joke for entertainment. Of course I had to google the exact oil spec, and I would never finish the oil change without the correct oil level. I'm using the correct weight and type of oil, this mower has had 3 services since filming this video and its running just fine. There are many brands of oil and oil filters and John Deere is not the only option out there. Going slightly over the service interval is not recommended but its also not going to kill the engine if it happens once in a while. Modern oils don't break down as soon as they used to, and sometimes life gets real busy on a guy. Its easy to get polarized over a brand and loyalty to a brand, but just remember folks, its just a fancy lawnmower, and its just KZfaq, its just entertainment. I do try to read and respond to every comment I get. If you want to teach me something i'm all ears, just keep it positive :) A service on a tiny machine like this is simple, its not an aircraft and it doesn't need to be overcomplicated.

Problem is that the spark plugs do not need to be changed every oil change and you're wasting money by buying a oil change kit. It costs less than $18 for a new filter and quality oil. Spark plugs last many years. I have not put new plugs in my D130 since I bought it 10 years ago. Starts right up and runs fine. My previous lawn tractor lasted 17 years with the original plugs. These newer ignition systems are much better than in the past.

Well, that sounds like a great idea! Buying the cheapest oil and filter saves you 25$ a year and you can be sure that the cheap filter actually filters and the cheapest oil is lubricating exactly the way it should.

Anyone feeling the need to express recreational outrage would’ve wasted the that 9:43 on something far less valuable. The Fram oil filter is much more affordable than the $15 John Deere filter. Also wondering if anyone has an opinion about Amazon kits for these mowers that comes with an oil filter, air filter, fuel filter & spark plugs. For the v-twin 22hp LA 135 it’s $16 on Amazon (obviously Chinese parts) vs $60-$70 for JD parts at Home Depot.

I am a retired heavy equipment mechanic, and I want to point out a couple things. The first one is using that Fram oil filter. Those are the most cheaply made oil filters. I personally use JD filters. I also use Amsoil oil. I use it in all of my vehicles. Wix makes good filters. Do some research about oil filters. You will be amazed. I buy all of my parts from the JD dealer. After-market parts are questionable at times. The JD stuff is better in my opinion. For years I was a field mechanic for Caterpillar, and that is where I learned about the price that the equipment owner sometimes pays when they use cheap parts. The engine oil is the single most important part of preventive maintenance. My JD lawn tractor also came with that goofy "quick change" oil filter set up. I changed that out at the first oil change. Changing out that expensive oil filter, but leaving 2/3 of the engine oil in the engine is dumb by my opinion. I also did not like the drain pipe cap that came with the JD kit. It was not positive enough for me. I just used a piece of pipe and a pipe cap. If that little plastic cap jiggles off, the engine will be toast in a very short time.

@Darren1767 Жыл бұрын

You can if you want to. It really doesn’t matter and just adds another step for you. All you are doing is lubricating the o ring. You shouldn’t be getting it soaked in oil. You will never get all the old engine oil out of any engine when you do an oil change. There will always be old oil left in the engine to a certain extent. People definitely have their opinions on using new oil only to lubricate the o ring but I have literally done thousands of oil changes and I can’t see how it makes a difference. Unless your oil is so heavily contaminated with metal flakes or fuel i can’t see it mattering at all.

@fortyfour6626 Жыл бұрын

Great video! We are all different in how we go about maintaining. I paid $2100 for my booger green tractor… I don’t mind spending an extra $3.20 on the designed filter. Nothing wrong with Fram but I trust JDs isn’t going to flake apart inside due to excessive heat. Also, every single filter on a new tractor is over tightened to stupid levels. I used a C clamp busting a hole it it to get the piece of shit off. JD has no good reason for that over tighten… I think they figure if one in a 100 give up and call the dealer, it’s basically an easy way to get some $100 an hour labor or some shit. Another thing I found is just buy the green plastic watering can at the dollar tree and use that as a pan… the height is perfect and the spout just by random chance rests snug on the port. Then after you empty the new oil, pour the oil in the water can in the empty jugs and throw them in the neighbors garbage. Another thing I do is stand on the side of the tractor when the oil is done flowing to get that last bit out. …. Then pour a little clean oil in to rinse down any metal fragments that are heavy at the bottom.

@Darren1767 Жыл бұрын

Funny eh. I guess a hot oil flush would work well. Again though, mower is 3 years old now and it’s running fine. I don’t think I’ve ever noticed shavings in oil. Oil always comes out looking decent. There are a few filter brands I would never use but I worked on cars for a living for around 4 years and I changed a lot of oil when I was doing that. I think fram is fine. I used to use the factory brand filters on my vehicles, I used fram, napa etc. never noticed a difference. The only time I especially go for the factory brand now is on our Toyota hybrid. I’m not gonna cheap out on a $46,000 SUV.

@fortyfour6626 Жыл бұрын

@@Darren1767 I’m with you there. I went way too long to my first change… I think I’m at 70 hours…. The oil was really clean. It was still hard to see on the dip stick. I owned a crapsman before the JD and it’s been night and day. The JD is hands down built so much better. I’m a bit obsessive and clean the deck and everything real well after each cut ( being in FL, the grass will rot a deck so fast it’s crazy) . I just hit all the grease points and got new blades for the hell of it. I swapped the headlight bulbs out for multicolored LED for no good reason too ( grandson thinks it’s cool as hell… when on the green setting it looks fun). The only issue I’ve had was because I let the idiot neighbor use it. That s100 just isn’t made for long heavy grass. I heard him stalling it out but just cringed and let him finish his lawn. Next time I went to use it the belt snapped. I know he stretched that shit. Oh, and one of the deck pins and washer popped off and I was running it for a good 50 yards before I looked back and noticed the deck was digging into the ground on the right side. It looked like DJ Jazzy Jeff’s hair all slanted. I was surprised I didn’t hear it even notice right away the deck was dragging on one side.

Suggestion: use a sharpie to record the date and hours on your oil filter. I am on my second JD mower. The first one was 15 years old when I bought it at a garage sale and I used it for 9 years where I left it with the house when I sold it. JD #2 is now a 19 year old unit that I bought as a end of summer season repo that had 40 hours on it. Plugs every other year and new air filter, oil filter, and oil every spring. I don't put enough hours on it in a years time for the recommended maintenance cycle. I have two sets of blades and change out the sharpened and balanced blades at the oil change and lube. Replace the belt with a JD brand belt or you will get to do it again soon if you use an aftermarket belt.

@Darren1767 Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the tips there. I’ll definitely replace the belt with a jd belt like you said. I still have to sharpen or replace my blades. At my last property I was a little hard on this machine and I did some brush hogging with it so I wouldn’t be surprised if the blades are a little chipped up. I have just been ignoring the hour meter and changing the oil at the beginning of the season. It only takes me around half an hour to mow almost an acre of lawn so I don’t get a ton of hours. The summers here get very dry and you don’t have to mow for about 2 months sometimes.

Cheap oul is never good, especially when you just purchased a new garden tractor. The same holds true for the filter, they are not all the same. Your video certainly showed what not to do when doing a first service on a John Deere E100. In five years you will be making a video expressing that John Deere E100 is no good because you used garbage oul and filters. Before people start criticizing my comments, I have 45 years working on all small engines and if you follow what this guy is doing, your equipment will not last. You get what you pay for. Why spend the extra money on a John Deere if you are not going to take proper care of it?

@Darren1767 Жыл бұрын

Unfortunately there isn’t any spending of extra money on a John Deere. You can buy a craftsman that’ll fall apart or you can get orange or yellow branded lawn mowers that are very similarly priced here. As long as oil and filters meet the api spec it’s fine in my opinion. I think I will be moving away from fram in the future but there’s nothing wrong with oil designed for 4 cycle lawn mowers that’s the correct spec and designed for it.

@skidoorulz4914 Жыл бұрын

BS! I have a JD built in 2005 that makes it 18 years old for the simple minded. The only JD filter it ever had on it was the one it came with. I use Fram 95% of the time on that tractor and use others only when the parts store doesn't have the Fram in stock. I don't use high dollar oil either I buy what is on sale and seldom use the same brand twice in a row. I do regular maintenance on it and have never had an issue with the motor. Now ask me about the 59 year old Ford pickup I have that runs mostly Fram or the 45 year old boat with the 250 GM straight 6 in it that has used mostly Fram still original motor never rebuilt runs great. Or ask me about the 20 year old Buick I have owned since new with 200K on it and to this day does not use a drop of oil between changes. Or all the other things I own and have owned in my 65 years that have all had Frams on them. I to mechanic and will tell you intervals is what makes the difference.

It is important to note that you should not use latex gloves around oil, oil deteriorates the latex rubber, the polyurethane gloves are popular and work great, most any material other than latex should work fine. Used motor has all kinds of heavy metals and other substances that can cause serious illness. The gloves used in the video were fine.

FYI - you can add a piece of plastic tubing to the drain plug - I use a piece of 1/2 inch drip irrigation tubing to get the oil from the engine to your drain pan or gallon jug for recycling. Also a few paper towels wadded up under the fuel filter on the frame will keep things a bit cleaner. Placing the used filter into a gallon zip lock plastic bag is a great way to keep it all neat for the recycling. My grease gun wouldn't fit though; so that is a problem for another day.

I assume I Probly don’t need to take the deck off but either way I need to build some ramps for this thing or figure out where some decent lifting points are to jack it up.
