Jim … 4 years later, your video is still helping guys like me. Great job. Your directions are clear and straightforward. The camera work does an excellent job of showing the parts and how they fit together. Thanks for taking the time and effort to put this together. Emmett

[@DIYJIM]

Glad to help

[@sheckyfeinstein]

Yup. This was terribly helpful. Good filming and lighting made it easy to see. After 345 youtube videos, this is one of the two I needed. Thanks.

One of the best how to’s I’ve seen. Saves me a ton of money by doing it myself. 👍👍👍

[@DIYJIM]

Thanks 👍and thanks for watching

[@peakcitydronetravel]

Excellent video!! I just replaced all of my parts on the deck, and this video saved me big headaches far beyond just the brake pads! 👍👌🙏

[@DIYJIM]

Awesome glad I could help

[@jackcoyle1413]

Good job expaining and illustrating what could be a pesky chore. Thanks!

[@DIYJIM]

Thanks

[@daddio7249]

Thank you thank you. For some reason I was sure there was a short rod connected to the right hand brake and I couldn't find it. My brother and I searched on my carport floor for an hour. I decided to watch this video and what do you know, that stiff spring is all that goes there. At 1:40 is the perfect shot. I know, next time take my own video.

Gave you a like before I viewed this video. This topic not covered on YT until now. I had many broken V belts until I fixed my brakes.

EXCELLENT video! I had to work on my brakes last year, after watching the only video I could find related to this on youtube. Mine still aren't right, as previous video wasn't nearly as good as yours. My brakes will finally work properly again, after watching this. Thanks for posting this! Liked and subscribed ;-)

Brother, these D110 "how to's" are superb. Got a new deck and swapped out all the components. I also took pics/vid, but not of everything, so thank you for showing how to adjust the pulley brakes. Subscribed! God Bless.

[@DIYJIM]

Awesome glad I could help. Thank you for the nice comment.

@@DIYJIM Do you by chance know the name or part number for the smaller spring connecting the opposite blade brake and idler pulley bracket? Falling down JD's parts catalog rabbit hole. TY for any other help.

[@BearlyVT]

Nearly identical for my D110. Thank you so much for this excellent video!

[@DIYJIM]

Thanks again

[@Sealion_by_Dr._Joe_Wallace]

I really needed to see you do the other blade brake as well since the configuration of the parts is a little different. I’ve had to start with a totally blank deck place all the mechanisms on with new parts.

[@DIYJIM]

Sorry my other blade break did not need replaced. Hope you get it figured out

[@troyb.4101]

The second brake now has a rod instead of the black heavy spring, and the rod to the other brake has an nut on the end of it, so it can be adjusted. Mine is like a 2011 D125, most of the linkage is pretty close to that. I see two parts that are different.

[@BrianCarlen]

Nice video, You only changed one. Its like doing brakes on a car, You have to to do both sides while you got it a part. You got everything apart. Clean it up. All dirt & de Bree on the deck. Plus clean all bolts, parts & pieces. Add some Noalox or compatible to the bolts before reassembly. JMO or maybe just my way of doing things.

[@DIYJIM]

The other one never needs replaced. I recently just took both of them off. They never last. Thanks for watching

[@ahmedbandukda3439]

Very well done. Thank u for that. I have seen your other vedios n are very clear n educational with neat working parts.

[@DIYJIM]

Thanks for watching my videos

[@barrykery1175]

Great video. Thanks for posting. It was very helpful. PS......I just bought my S100 last week and I really like it. Cuts my cutting time in half from what it took me to do before. I have a wider cut and can cut at a much faster speed. Even though the engine on the S100 is much bigger than my old Craftsman Lawn Tractor, since this takes a wider cut and i can go faster, I actually use less fuel to cut my lawn. Barry

[@DIYJIM]

Glad it helped! Thanks for watching have a great summer

[@supremedrayden1976]

How do you change the brake rod on a John Deere riding mower

[@Blimkat]

Thanks cuz I'm a dumb dumb again, and I didn't take pictures first. I figured it would be easy but I couldn't figure out exactly how the spring was set. This JD D100 has been quite the adventure, plenty of cursing and some blood but I've pretty much rebuilt the entire thing so far except the engine itself. Satisfying AF when it's been repaired and back on the turf again. Cheers.

[@DIYJIM]

[@alancowart4418]

great video the only thing when putting pulley back on make sure that it turns the blade, it has notches on pulley to line up correctly. i learn that the hard way!!

I was really hoping not to have to drop the deck to do this, but I can’t stand the scraping sound anymore and of course I have a box full of socketS and none of them are 10 mm great video by the way hopefully I won’t have any parts left over when I put it back together

I have a S110 and the part number on my break pads are GX26055 and i cant for the life of me find them. So im going to use the link from this video and pray it works.

[@DIYJIM]

Hope it works for you thanks for watching

[@dddddd2100]

I think the brakes are frozen on my JD 125, I'm not familiar with how they should work. while sitting on the mower as a reference point the brake is against the left blade pulley and the right blade pulley spins free. this is with the mower off and not running , blades are disengaged. are the brake arms supposed to move freely away from the pulleys by hand? the springs are rusted and I can't budge the brake arms. I have some vibration when the blades are engaged, this is worse when the deck is raised for higher cutting level. I have replaced one spindle, both blades, belt to engage blades, both flat idler pulleys...any advise on this? Thanks

[@DIYJIM]

Some people just remove the breaks that is what I am going to do next time they wear out.

[@martinrps13]

Vibrations are caused by bad pulleys or unbalanced blades. The reason it changes when you move the deck up and down leads me to believe it is a pulley issue. Turn off the engine! Lower deck to the half way setting and then engage the blade drive lever. Get down and look at how the pulleys all line up compared to how the main pulley is on the engine. From there you should see what is going on and what is possibly out of line. Can go further and remove spark plugs and physically turn the belt and watch them all as they move. Also take the belt off and spin pulley and spindles by hand to check for wear and noise. Any one that makes noise or doesn’t spin freely should be replaced.

[@jimmyfinke6759]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

[@DIYJIM]

welcome

[@glasser620]

are there any adjustments for the blade brake, or should you just replace it when the blades don't stop? On a E110

[@DIYJIM]

No adjustments replace before they wear out. Thank for watching

[@peter97379]

What’s the function of that brake? My s110 with 40 hrs starts making a noise when i disengage the blades or when i turn off the engine. Looks like i might have to replace this brake.

[@DIYJIM]

Just stops the blades faster. I think when mine finally wears out again I’m just going to try taking it off and go without.

[@gadasavideos8564]

@DIYJIM I'll be doing that tomorrow. My neighbour is having issues . Deck belt comes off repeatedly , then burns up. Found that his brakes were not moving off the pulleys. Pad now worn down so much that the whole thing gets rotated by the pulley to the wrong side of the pulley into the belt. I'm hoping that I've fixed the belt issue by shortening his cable. It was same length as a new one but there was an inch of pay in the lever before cable moved. Other option was to cut off cable anchor on deck and replace with an adjustable one that they had on the L100.

[@glasser620]

Will these brakes fit a John Deere E110 ?

[@DIYJIM]

I think they are same

[@jeffgriffin4239]

How'd you get the deck so clean on an old deck?

[@DIYJIM]

its not always that clean, but I like to clean it before I make a video. Thanks for watching

[@troyb.4101]

At about ten years old the yellow paint job peels off and the rust shows. There is no primer under the yellow, just rust. I'm in Arizona a dry environment, as well.

[@M70ACARRY]

Deck looks like my craftsman

[@DIYJIM]

Thanks for watching Mark

[@adamwagner7105]

3:05ish. Says "7/16". Think he meant 7/8". Great video though. Watched a dozen vids and finally have one that shows good angles of how things go together. Can't even tell from the JD Parts Catalog.

[@DIYJIM]

Glad you like thanks for watching

[@LightTouchWoodstock]

Hi. Jim are both brakes the same?

[@DIYJIM]

Yes, thank you for watching my video hope it helps you

Hey how to put a spring on back on the the mower deck la 115 John Deere

[@DIYJIM]

Maybe this video will help kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5XdenSJastjqNk

[@troyb.4101]

7/16's Maybe 15/16's 7/8's? My D125 linkage is close too that, the one brake now has a linkage to it, and the other has a nut on it. The longer push pull linkage now has a round hole it dropps into, not a slot.

[@DIYJIM]

thanks for watching

[@MIKE-mg5ks]

THE SHORT PART OF THE SPRING IS ATTACHED TO WHAT??

[@DIYJIM]

Sorry not sure what you mean, maybe watch again sorry can not help

[@martinrps13]

The brake spring?

[@gadasavideos8564]

100 series is too general. L100 deck and e100 decks are not the same. For e110 part supposedly is gy22309 . The e100 deck looks like your's . L100 has brake rod on right whereas e100 has spring like your's

Not sure safety I guess

Thanks for answering

[@gusorviston1]

need to add how to adjust the break arms.. you wiggling it isn't the lever on the mower.. so useless..

[@DIYJIM]

Thanks for watching, I really don’t think you can adjust it

[@philshock3805]

@@DIYJIM I think yours is newer than mine but my 2013 D130 has brake adjustments on both arms. Where you simply turned the long rod and removed it, the end of mine is threaded and held on with a nut. (same deal with the short arm of the other brake) According to the manual, the correct adjustment is a 2-3mm gap between the back of the nut and brake bracket. I guess removing the adjustment feature was either a cost-cutting move or just not necessary. BTW, thanks for posting this! I'm replacing both pads - on one of them, the entire bottom end of the pad is gone. I needed to do it last year but couldn't find any info about it or even a part number.
