Thanks 👍!! I do try to keep my neighbors happy. I hope you and the family are doing well! Cheers my Friend! Zip~

I know right? Crazy to charge so much. But that's what you get for buying that green stuff. Cheers my Friend! Zip~

@@ZippoVarga all the places around me charge a ton for just a standard service. I take care of my entire street. ridicules how much these places charge

@@ZippoVarga Is there a difference between the b10 deck and a orange allis chalmers deck? I have a orange allis chalmers deck but i'm not sure what it goes on. Wanted to mount it to my b10.

@@corysgardentractors7084 If the deck is of a similar vintage and for the large frame tractors, then it should fit. Zip~

@@corysgardentractors7084 Same here, I do the equipment services for neighbors, family and friends. The dealer a few streets over from me charges insane prices, and when a neighbor checked on a service there they said it was a 2 month wait.

Thanks Joe👍!! I don't care what the color is really. But, Deere's are notoriously more difficult and over complicated to work on in my opinion. Cheers my Friend! Zip~

Stay safe and healthy Robert! Zip~

@@ZippoVarga thanks young man

Bill! I'm loving the two newest tools to the shop. Blade sharpener and spark plug cleaner are both invaluable. Now to get a nice blade balancer. Cheers my Friend! Zip~

Great info on the filters Josh! Thanks for that! And yeah, these brick and mortar repair shops are a rip off. Cheers! Zip~

Thanks Pop! Zip~

No problem 👍

Great to know E Rock! I'll get the trans serviced for my neighbor at the end of the season. I appreciate you! Zip~

Hello and thanks for the heads up. Silly question for the day, What do you use for replacement trans fluid? Use only John Deere Trans Fluid ?

This blade grinder along with the spark plug cleaner are real game changers. Cheers my Friend! Zip~

I'm perfectly fine with your comment my Friend. And yes, that's who took my neighbor for so much $$ and did nothing. Cheers! Zip~

Welcome aboard Joshua! I tend to babble a lot, but I try to provide sound advice. With over 1,000 videos, there's sure to be more information of value for you. Cheers! Zip~

LOl did I make any sense??/ Babble babble

Yes 160 dollars does sound like alot of money. But health care for only one person in the USA is a lot more than that per month. We have alot of hidden costs in the USA just making a living. Be good Bruce, stay safe You too Zip

Thanks Joe. I am not over religious but I am praying for us all. I have lung issues, Maybe that is what is making me think a bit more. ---Hi Sean By the way LOL

I hope I'm not intruding on your conversation lol. Heya Guys! Yes, what Joe said! And the colors hurt my eyes lol. Cheers my good man! Sean~ And you too Joe my Friend! Zip~

I used an angle grinder for YEARS. This blade sharpener is a real game changer. Faster and more controlled than the ole Angle Grinder. Cheers! zip~

Yep....the Brick and mortar shops really take owners to the cleaners in my opinion. Cheers my Friend! Zip~

This is exactly why I choose these Chris. They last a few years longer and only cost about $10 more per battery. Zip~

That's lots of Kinder Eggs for young Riley Boy for sure. JD Dealers are all about the money in service and parts. Even when they don't perform the service they claim to have performed, which was the case with this mower. I marked and indicated areas that should have been inspected and serviced and over half of the claimed service details on the invoice were not performed. When I confronted them about it, they said "Prove It". Prove It? Really? I just told you I marked and indicated areas that should have been serviced that weren't touched. What kind of proof do you want? They replied, well, you're one individual with "Claims" of poor service...come back when you have proof. Since then, I've taken on about a dozen Deere's to perform service on. Money out of their pocket and money that stays in the owners pockets. Cheers Jim! I hope you're doing well. Zip~

Thanks for this! It's a simpler way of saying that Deere's are basically junk until you get way up on the totem pole. Then you're paying twice what they are worth. Zip~

Heya MT. I posted the lift in my latest video for you. I've swapped vehicle engines using the oak beam and a 1 ton chain fall in the past. I hope that and the video answers your question! Cheers! Zip~

I hear you Joe. Anything to turn a profit and screw the consumers. Used to be that quality was job one. Now, it's not even a consideration. Zip~

I sold a D105 a few months ago. I bought it with 70 hours and sold it with 94 hours. It was moving slower and lower, then one day it stuck in reverse. I found out somewhere online that lifting the foot pedal would allow it to go forward again. There's little info about the D105 moving slowly online. It could be the belt, drive pulleys, or transaxle. Any of the above require dropping the transaxle to update. My knees are too shot to make 3 attempts + parts cost. I sold it to a guy that fixes/resells mowers. I saw it posted online the day after I sold it. He said the belt was bad and he also changed the pulleys to be on the safe side. I found a good deal on a used X500 while searching for a X300 series. The X500 is built like a tank in comparison to the D105. JD should be ashamed for ever releasing the D105. The transaxle should be renamed "turdomatic." Be sure to see if yours is eligible for the transaxle recall if it fails. Mine was not.

Exactly right Michael. When your grass clippings go from actual grass to small particles, it's definitely time to sharpen the blades. Cheers! And Great Question! Zip~

lol...I DID!! That's some sticky crap, lemme tell ya! lol Cheers Buddy! Zip~

Danny, I remember when you were asking me about a good next mower. Typically, that is fuel build up in the cylinder. I would install a fuel shut off and shut if off before you turn off the engine. Also, I would pull and check the spark plug(s). If they're black, replace the Air Filter and it never hurts to give the engine a good cleaning including under the blower housing. Good luck with it and keep me posted my Friend! Zip~

@@ZippoVarga several sources I have read say to go to full throttle before shutting off the engine to prevent backfire.

Sadly, very true! Zip~

Thanks Bob! Any new project your way? Cheers! Zip~

It's ridiculous to think that they charge more than it would cost you to rent a U-Haul trailer to deliver and pick up your own mower. Not to mention, way more than a tow company would charge for local service. Cheers my Friend! Zip~

Of course. I'm not a hack lol. I've got a professional bearing balancer as well as a professional blade sharpening machine. Nothing but the best for my neighbors and friends and the occasional customer. Zip~

Service interval is a suggested 100 hours on oil after preliminary oil change at 5 hours then again at 50. The Air Filter replacement really depends on the conditions the mower is being used in. Dry arid and dusty conditions would require a new air filter much more frequently than in more moderate and less dusty conditions. Best rule of thumb is to check that day light comes through the filter. If not, replace, if so, it can wait until the next service interval. Cheers Oakie! Great question! Zip~
