Yep - good mower

I have a F10 and you're right you can't kill them

Good machines 😀

Thanks for the info

John Deere is pretty fun and actually runs well and mows well as I cut stripes in the front yard the other day and was fairly impressed

Thanks for watching 😀

I believe I will keep this one for a while after the video. I mowed out the front yard and it left pretty nice stripes as well.

Thanks for the information

Thanks for watching, and I have spun the tires on some inclines, but they were damp

Thanks I think I will

It’s pretty fun

They are fun mowers

The tires help a little bit, but it’s still easy to get stuck on slopes

I bet knobby tires would be better like on an ATV

Fun and they mow pretty good 😊

They are fun, little mowers, now I have the F725

I have a similar problem, mine will start but while I’m mowing the blades will stop and I’m wondering what’s causing the problem, it cuts great and I really like it, so I have put a new PTO clutch on and it does the same thing. Don’t know if it’s the PTO switch or not. I’m at odds to what the problem could be. Thanks for any idea you might have.

Good luck on repair Thanks for watching

Mine had no spark but it turned out to be the carburetor . You couldn’t see it spark with the 0:15 naked eye .

Mine was the ignitor [about 1 inch square with a single wire] [ about $200 Canadian ] checked everything else too. There are cheap Chinese ones but I stay away from China parts. Its been working great for a year now. I see your post is that old too and hope its working now.

@@richardpetker4337 just wanted to get back with you and say yes that's all that was is that little igniter five bucks but it cost me $30 to have it put on and that lawn mower has been running great thank you and you did have a good reply thank you

I would clean the PTO switch and really they’re not that expensive so it wouldn’t hurt to replace it and then also the PTO has adjustments you can do. I don’t have any videos on that but you can find them pretty easy and I bet that problem.

Thanks for the reply, I just replaced the PTO clutch, it’s brand new from John Deere. So I’ll get a PTO switch and see if that help the situation. Thanks!

Look at the wiring harness that goes to the PTO switch and make sure there’s no brakes

I’m not looking at that machine right now, but sometimes the relay switches that are associated with the PTO could be going bad

Try to find a schematic diagram. Those are cheap, easy things that don’t hurt to replace anyway. A true mechanic would have you test all these items and sometimes I do that but if it’s a cheaper Knouff of a part I just replace it

Very good concept and design

I noticed that Ha

Thanks for watching, and good luck with the spark

I have not tried, but I feel pretty certain you could replace the whole carburetor with not a whole lotta money

The monster mower is good enough for now, as I have many other projects that are much easier, ha ha

Oh I hear you. Once you start a project like that and its all guess work whether this or that will and what it it affect if i do this.. that kinda of a project can be very time consuming. Took me 6 months to do mine. But i had to take 2 months for the broken arm I got while building it. DANG ½" Milwaukee hand drill has somekind of torqe when drill bit gets caught. 😳

If I could find a Old golf cart and steal the steering out of it, I think I could make that work

That'd work very well

I would have, but unfortunately, I just sold that mower and let the additional deck go with it

They are slow - ha. - I just got a Simplisity sun runner. It’s about the same type machine, video come in soon.

What issues are you having? I’m not a true mechanic so I never claimed to have all the answers but maybe someone else on here does

That is a very generous offer unfortunately, I have recently sold this particular machine And yes, I live near White House, Tennessee, Tennessee

@@MurphyMower any other units you’d be willing to trade for? Or, would you be interested in repairing the 990?

I do not know of anyone that has spare parts, I will keep a lookout for you

@@MurphyMower Thanks, I appreciate that

I believe it was a wire going to the PTO switch because I took it apart, cleaned it put it back together and it started working

How do you clean it the 2 plugs or the part going to motor

It’s a 10 degree turn

But it is a pretty sharp turner

It can mow as tight as a 10 inch circle at the left side of the mower deck. I have over 20 trees in my yard and with a few wood chips around each trunk I never use my walk behind mower or weed whacker any more. So while not technically a zero turn it’s so close that it doesn’t matter. What I like about mine is that it is way more capable on a side hill than a zero turn. Tracks straight and if you lean uphill and use the traction assist pedal it can mow across a side hill that would cause a zero turn to roll over. I wish JD would have continued and maybe improved this model instead if discontinuing the F510 and F525 in favor or zero turn models that are all the rage in the US these days. They do make a line of commercial grade front mount mowers but those are diesels which I don’t want and they start at around $15,000 which is overkill for a homeowner.
