John Deere hydro 185 no spark no start -- wrenching with a 6 year old

[@GrandsonofKong]

I can testify that your son will recall this time(and many others) with you many years(dare I say decades) from now. I've got 70 staring me in the face and my Dad passed when I was 10 , yet I still remember the times he had me helping him with projects to this day....and wishing there had been more. Hoping you two have many, many projects together!

Start them young. He is learning well. Looks to be very interested. His input during the repair is priceless. Lots of fun. Best time I have working on these units is when my grandson helps out. Say hi to your helper. Number 1 👍 this morning. Stay well, Joe Z

Thanks as always Joe! Agreed! And he says hi back! Take care!

You make a great team! Can't wait for the moment when he figures out the problem first, maybe by accident. Nothing like dad time or time where young and elders of any age are working together. That's what makes the world great! Love this!💕

This is how you build up great kids. He’s already getting to be a fine problem-solver. Hope you guys have lots more projects together.

Great video, I recently got the same model John Deere and been fixing her up in my spare time. Your video gave me a new todo list to get my mower purring. Thanks for the vid.

Taking out the carb for a quick cleanup would have been the final step to make the repair complete imho. Never the less, great explanation to the future mechanic who has half your dna. I'm excited which project will show up next to your garage. Greetings from West-Germany

Always connect to the positive terminal first if you can help it. From starter motor, cdi, volt regulator, ignition coil, spark plug, even loose wire connection can be the problem

Wow, Malcolm is such a big guy now! Clever and overall a great helper. I loved this video, Andy! Will play it to Igi too :)

Tengo un tractor con este problema un Jhon ddere 185, tiene el mismo problema de que no arranca, muy buen video.

[@RESO_44]

have you consideres paving the road that leads to the shed ?

[@denisnelson4250]

I have a John Deere 185. I had a no spark no start problem. It was the $100.00 plus igniter part from John Deere dealer. Cause of the igniter failure was JUMP STARTING the tractor. Only attempt starting this model of tractor with a fully charged battery.

Great video I have the same mower, a link to the parts used would be nice though

[@srxfishinghunting7879]

Just picked up a 185 hydro myself runs good and everything but can’t seem to get the fuel light to go off any ideas

[@samajier2566]

Great video

[@toddburton5548]

Did you turn the gas back on😅

[@gottago9063]

There’s a button / leveler under seat to move the mower
