This is the best video for E100 maintenance. I was able to follow, purchase the kit and get the job done. Thanks!

[@WesternEquipment]

Thank you and I am glad it was helpful!

[@guillermo2k90]

I would really like to thank you for not over talking and wandering off into different topics. You are straight to the point and I really appreciate that. Thank you. I had to stop to write this 5 minutes in , because of how much I appreciate it.

[@WesternEquipment]

Well thank you and I'm glad I could help. This type of feedback only makes me better and I appreciate that. Thanks for watching!

@Jonathan Lawrence thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

@Jonathan Lawrence it worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thank you so much, you really help me out !

[@nathanielely896]

I purchased an E100, and your videos have been extremely helpful with understanding and performing various maintenance tasks. Best instructions on KZbin, IMHO. I especially appreciate your video on the various attachments available for the mower. Thank you!

I agree 👍 💯

[@tyroneparker9805]

You didn't know the old kid comes with a old kid and bullshit in oil at least let a person know the grade of oil that goes in there in case he does not use the oil kit

[@tyroneparker9805]

And one more thing your review was good but I still needed to know if it was 20 or 10W30 or 5W30 or 30-30 thank you

[@dfaval12]

@@tyroneparker9805 Here's and idea... why don't you look at your manual that came with your machine? If you lost the manual, and I'm sure you did, down load it from the internet! Lol

Video is worth watching!

[@acampbell198]

Thank you for the videos Brent, great content to help Deere lawn equipment owners maintain their investment. I wonder if John Deere realizes the benefit the company as a whole gets from dealers like you producing quality content like this? I wish my dealer here on the Delmarva Peninsula (I live on the Eastern Shore...that's the eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay) was a little more proactive in this regard. Honestly I don't think most businesses realize the value of this type of customer service centric marketing. Keep up the great work! I noticed a couple of folks pointing out that you put the oil filter on w/ a wrench...yes on most applications hand tight is the most you want but these things vibrate a LOT and I can see how a little extra torque might be warranted. These things are easy to get a filter wrench on (unlike many cars) so I don't see the harm in snugging it up a bit as long as you don't crush the filter. My only other suggestion would be warming up the oil first to help the draining process but you are absolutely correct that a hot exhaust is something to be concerned with when changing that spark plug. Thanks again!

[@ladyvladyvet7159]

[@hondaguy6666]

Nice video. Thanks. I’m surprise however you don’t wear gloves especially when doing the oil and gas filter change. But I love your videos. Keep up the great work.

[@WesternEquipment]

I probably should do this but I don't do it often enough to worry too much. Thanks for watching!

[@raichu9999]

Good video! I'm planning to purchase an S100, how often should I be applying one of this at home service kits? anything about sharpening the blades?

[@WesternEquipment]

Thank you! This should be done every 50 hours or annually. Blade sharpening will all depend on mowing conditions.

[@Nick-g5x8f]

I have a question, do I need to pre fill the oil filter before I install it because I’m worried about the engine dry starting and damaging the engine

[@WesternEquipment]

You do not have to but some people do prefer to do this. it is hard to do on these engines that the filter is sideways.

[@thedarknight5100]

Is there any issues that can arise for having air in the fuel line or am I over thinking this? I have zero mechanic skill.

[@WesternEquipment]

Very rarely because that air will escape from the fuel line as soon as the filter is reinstalled and the fuel pump kicks on. Good question and thanks for watching!

[@Rydrdg]

I converted my e110 ez oil change fitting to the traditional type where u drain and screw on the filter. Will this kit fit my setup?

[@WesternEquipment]

Your E110 had an easy change system? Or did you mean E120?

[@Rydrdg]

@Western Equipment it had a ez change system when i bought it. So i converted back to the traditional.

[@jerryjones5614]

How often should I do this ? I just got my first ride on, the s100 and am completely new to this. Your channel is awesome 👌👏😎

Thank you for liking the channel! You should do this every 50 hours or annually or follow your owners manual. Congrats on your new mower and thanks for watching!

[@calicountry9758]

Awesome video! I just purchased a used 2018 and I have some materials left over from a previous craftsman mower so all I’ll need is an oil filter. However does the JD need a synthetic oil or is conventional fine?

[@WesternEquipment]

Thank you and conventional is fine. Thanks for watching!

[@charlessmith5595]

This is a very detailed video, but I didn't see any anti seize on that spark plug

[@hectorsalinas2716]

great video ! do u know whats the life expectancy of it? years and hours ? thanks in advance

[@WesternEquipment]

I don't have any approximate number but I can say I've seen people use this size of mowers for years and years when they are well maintained.

How do you replace fuel pump mine is just like yours has those plastic caps

[@WesternEquipment]

Those should be just plastic retainer clips that you can work out with a flat head screwdriver. They can sometimes be brittle and need to be replaced once they are removed. I hope this helps and thanks for watching!

My fuel filter is definitely not just popping off that easy, it's not even budging. What can I do?

[@johnvaccaro4448]

can you explain the difference between lg271 vs lg266? why does california models show as lg271? What part is different?

[@WesternEquipment]

From what I can tell the parts are exactly the same. California has more strict rules on air pollution so the California version may have a slightly better air filter but other than that I see no difference. Thanks for watching!

[@TheBinaryWolf]

Thanks for the info. Hopefully you might also be knowledgeable about the bagger system for this tractor. Do the blades need to be run at full speed and the tractor driven slowly to get the grass into the bags, like the manual instructs? And does the mower deck need to be tilted up at the back? I think my bagger system is installed properly, with the high lift blades; but hardly any grass gets tossed into the bags. I cut the grass grass only when dry and when it's not too long.

[@WesternEquipment]

So going slower with the blades at full speed is the best way. This allows the deck to create more suction and give it time to move the grass to the bags. And yes, you want 1/8" to 1/4" difference in height from the front to back of your deck with the back being higher. This eliminates double cutting of your grass. You may also want to check your chute tube from time to time to make sure it isn't clogged. Thanks for watching!

[@TheBinaryWolf]

​@@WesternEquipment On mine, the bottom of the mower deck housing at the front is 2 inches above the ground and 2-5/8" at the back; so the tilt is 5/8", which is greater than the 1/4" recommended by the authorized dealer (who wants to charge me $75 to "take a look"). Maybe the belt on mine is too loose. But then on my E100, the adjustment bracket is welded down, not secured with two bolts as shown in the manual. How loose is the belt on your machine when the 'engage blade' lever is pushed forward?

[@TheBinaryWolf]

@@WesternEquipment Thanks for the help. Running the blades at higher speed worked. Now I'm waiting for Tesla to manufacture a self-driving tractor. LOL!

Where in the manual does it show you how much oil the engine holds

[@WesternEquipment]

There should be a changing oil section or you can find it in the specs section. Thanks for watching!

Just got a E100 used. With 24 hours. Need to do everything right. Didn't come with a book. Please help with knowledge and maintenance schedule. Would be greatly appreciated

[@WesternEquipment]

Yes I would do it all. There should be a maintenance schedule on the mower but if not, you can find and order an operator manual from Deere.com. Thanks for watching!

[@constitutionalcarpenter541]

I also have an e10p I got used there is a maintenance schedule on the inside of the hood easy to see when you lift it up

Omg that was way to tight for that oil filter 😮😂

[@WesternEquipment]

Yes, sometimes they come from the factory way too tight. But they usually loosen up with a few more hours on them. Have you had any issues with them being tight?

[@SusanBristo-mx3vl]

I can't locate the oil filter on a L100 John deere lawn tractor. Where is it

[@WesternEquipment]

Some of the L100's do not have an oil filter. You simply just have to change the oil and replace with new. Briggs and stratton had a run where they produced these smaller engines without a filter.

[@BarraGutheWorld]

Can you do the e110 vs e130

Just a comparison between the mowers?

You can make more money by including Grease, a Grease Gun and instructions where and how to use them on the Deere E100 and E110. Those joints require a lot of regular service.

Thanks. We are planning on doing those soon.

Great job
