[@beboboymann3823]

Good video Rick...thanks for posting. There is a trick I do to keep the oil that runs out of the oil filter from getting all over the frame and that is to take about a 10" piece of cardboard and bend it in a semi-circle and push it back against the engine under the oil filter. Then when you loosen the oil filter the oil that spills out will run out on the card bo0ard to your catch basin and not get on the mower frame. If we share ideas like you are doing then at some point all of us will know all the little tricks. Thanks again.

[@RickMammana]

+beboboy mann Thanks for the tip! I'll do that next time. And Thank you for watching.

[@ericamorrin9085]

First time home and mower owner here. Thanks so much for this. So helpful.

[@MrIdasam]

Just know that this particular model is going to crap out on you at some point, more specifically the transmission. The transmissions are made entirely of plastic and it is going to fail. I had a D105; John deere did a recall on the transmissions because they knew that they were flawed by design. My local Deere dealer replaced the transmission with a new one and it failed right at 8 hours of use. The tractor had less than 20 hours on it. John Deere refused to fix it; a new transmission costs nearly $500. I sold it at a loss of about $800. The "D" and "E" series of lawn tractors are garbage and John Deere knows it. They sell them to compete with other low-end mowers on the market primarily at Lowes and Home Depot, and Deere will not take care of or support this demographic of customers. I was told this by my local John Deere dealer, and I know from my own experience dealing with John Deere. Best of luck to you.

How’s the UK doing now

[@scetchport]

A little late to join the comments ,but I'm old now ,lol, ive always used the bush technique if access is possible by hammering a long screwdriver or pointed bar right through the oil filter at an angle that gives maximum turn before it hits a frame for instance. Might have to do this a few times in a confined area. Never failed. WOOPS ! It's been mentioned already, but enjoyed your vid .

[@frankscalise7139]

Here is a great tip. When adding more than one qt if oil, always use the first bottle to put the partial amount, then add the other bottle as a whole quart. This will prevent any over filling.

@@RickMammana do not use two-stroke engine oil because there is a risk that the engine could seize

[@vin-r5384]

Same difference

[@brandonkick]

@@vin-r5384 yeah really.... that tip doesn't prevent over filling at all? Not sure why the order matters or what it prevents if the partial is first or second? I'm "guessing" that if you accidently pour too much of the partial quart in... you can correct by not adding the entire second quart? These are splash lube systems, not pressurized... so long as you don't WAY over fill it... being a little over full is better than under.. especially if you have hills where the oil isn't going to be "level".

[@totaldevastation2470]

Glad he said to make sure the filter ring didnt stick to the mower,I made that mistake once and lost all my oil as it didnt seal correctly..It actually happened on my car but same principal..

[@garyki4014]

I had the same problem with my oil filter after my first change. Was a pain to get it off.

[@BigTymer0007]

The filter on mine was super tight too. If you don't have a filter wrench just stab a screwdriver all the way thru the old filter and you can lever that to twist it right off...

[@RickMammana]

+Ian Woodford Yeah I used to do that with my old cars! :)

[@BigTymer0007]

Ha, after watching your video I thought I could muscle it off by hand. Nope! You weren't kidding. Awesome video thanks man, love your style.

[@RickMammana]

+Ian Woodford Cool! Thank You for watching!

[@hunter7476]

Good job most people don’t change the oil but Thai guy does good job did you change the air filter and spark plug

[@flyingdutchmanwa]

Great video but one tip: no need to tighten the oil filter as much as you did; it'll only make it more difficult to remove next oil change. There is no real high pressure in the lubrication system; the oil drain plug and oil filler cap/dipstick not being tight at all is proof of that. Best way to install an oil filter in indeed to oil the gasket first (neat trick, using the old one to mate), screw it on handtight, then tighten another half-turn. That's all it needs.

[@tonynewman777]

I was wondering if anybody was going tell him that... Hahaha.... It was driving me nuts watching him... Never need a tool to get it off... I'll take it go back-and-forth tighten and loosen until I get it just right feels tight but not over tight.... I've had to absolutely destroy the oil filter dear God. Can be dangerous to with the metal all tore up.

[@johnbelvin5216]

Over filling oil may cause plug fouling, but bigger consequence can be blown seal(s), as over filling too much increases crankcase pressure.

[@kimberlywells5358]

[@helenaboba7133]

Had a Husquevarna which served me well for 16 yrs. and servicing it was much easier. Now have a J. Deere and I wish you had shown how to get the close out panel off on my D130 so I can access the oil filter.

[@Wannagobackto1980]

It's not hard. Can't remember the size socket but I believe there are 2 or 3 bolts to loosen. I love my JOHN DEERE but that was pretty stupid of them to put that in the way.

[@MashedPotatoes4FunAndProfit]

When hot pliers are a good idea.

[@alfredobenavides8175]

Nice tats Rick you da man.

[@RickMammana]

👍😎👍

[@MrIrishalley]

a tip that could save you some trouble is the oil drain cap unscrews clockwise and tightens counter clockwise. i just replaced a motor some other idiot just changed the oil in and he turned the cap clockwise to tighten it. it worked and lasted a few weeks but the oil was slowly dripping out and the old lady who was cutting grass never checked on it. it only took two weeks for it to blow up. $650 (not including labor) later and she has a new motor

[@ReeferGil]

You're da man.

[@GeorgeBonez]

Man I just bought a brand new John Deere E140 and I thought it had the new 30 sec oil change system but when I got the mower home I realized that it didn’t have that new feature. Oh man I was disappointed but I love the tractor so much that I got over-it pretty quick! Lol

[@craigweida801]

I always use briggs and stratton oil. It's 1.5 qts. In one bottle so it's fool proof. Take your filter to any auto parts store and they'll hook you up with a new one a hell of a lot cheaper.

[@BigBadJohnDiesel]

I noticed that this is a Briggs and Stratton Intek engine with John Deere badging and thought the same thing! Been using Briggs oil for years.

[@dslpwr]

Fun video as always!! I enjoy little projects like that as well.

[@RickMammana]

Yeah. I like taking care of it good.

[@richardkatzman2066]

Good job. If your tractor is anything like my John Deere 125, when you go to change the sparks plugs the first one is easy to get at. The second one is a killer!! It’s buried under the engine cover. There is no way to get it unless you take the the entire engine covering off. It is definitely dumb engineering. The next time I have to change the spark plugs, I’m going to cut a whole in the engine covering to make it easier to get at the spark plug number 2.

[@RickMammana]

Hey Richard, That's a good idea to get the second plug out. My D105 only has one cylinder, 17.5HP. So it will be easy for me but less power than yours. Thanks for watching!

[@murdogordon3091]

In the UK they call this mower the x105, put a smaller engine in it (13hp) and charge nearly £2000 for it. I bought one today but would have preferred the next model up with the hydrostatic transmission.

[@RickMammana]

+Jeff Kitchen Hi, The battery must have been sitting long in the store. Get it started again and let it charge itself by running. Then try to start it the next day. If it doesn't start you'll need a new battery. They really don't like to sit for weeks without a little charge.

[@erichvonmolder9310]

I saw the new 2018 oil change should take 30 seconds. You screw out the old oil filter and screw in the new one - they say it is that easy, it looks like it too. Anyone know anything about it? It cost 50 bucks, but no mess.

[@chrisl2090]

Yeah its a "consumer" type Easy-Install filter that only has .8 quarts of oil in it. The 30 second oil change doesn't even change half the oil in the engine. Its a fail in my book. Get the conversion kit and go back to changing it the right way.

[@matthewsmith284]

A Fram 4967 oil filter is 2.3 inches long, a Fram 3614 is 3 and 1/2, and a Fram 3600 is nearly 5. All should fit 17 horse and above lawn tractors... They also cost a lot less, around $2.50 vs $10 for the OEM ones... Amount of oil should be around 64 ounces, two quarts exactly, with the 3600.... I use Shell Rotella T5 in 10W-30...

[@RickMammana]

+Matthew Smith Thank you very much for that advice!

[@nickwoodruff3321]

That is correct. In fact I use the napa gold 1516 (Wix 51516) on the 26 hp Kohler v-twin in my craftsman GT. The 1516 is direct replacement to the fram 3600.
