Do i need special tools for?
what tools can i use to sharp the blades?

Best answer:

Answer by gands4ever
a wrench or a good sized socket and ratchet. a 2×4 wedged in between the blade and deck to keep blade from turning. as far as sharpening them you will need a hand held grinder you can do it with a good file but it takes a while if your blades are bad.

Question about throttle position when starting a John Deere riding mower?

Chris — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 03:15:35 +0000

Question by sofar2gob4dawn: Question about throttle position when starting a John Deere riding mower?
I just got a new John Deere LA 115 riding lawnmower. It’s a different brand and more advanced than the one I used to have. I had trouble starting it according to the directions which is to start it when the engine is cold with the throttle pushed to Full (rabbit). It will not start with throttle pushed all the way up, but it does start easily with the throttle halfway.

Is this normal or does it indicate that there is something in the motor isn’t adjusted right?

Best answer:

Answer by J B
My Ariens 1540 is the same way when its cold. I have kholer engine I give it a few minutes to warm up and mine cuts 2.5 acres with no problems. You might want to change it out but I wouldnt

How do I disengage the RIO on a X520 John Deere mower?

Chris — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 12:33:27 +0000

Question by DT: How do I disengage the RIO on a X520 John Deere mower?

Best answer:

Answer by BRILLIANT!
Why would you want to disengage this.It is so you can mow in reverse?.There is a detent on you ignition,where you put the key in,you have to turn the key to that position,to make it mow in reverse.To “disengage it” simply turn the key back to the run position.It will show a symbol of a “piston and crank”.You are probably not doing this and I’ll bet the mower cuts out on you when you want to go foward again.

Q&A: How do I idle up a John deere push mower. It has a very low Idle and does not cut very well?

Chris — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 21:18:11 +0000

Question by thekarpetguy: How do I idle up a John deere push mower. It has a very low Idle and does not cut very well?
6.75 hp 190cc self propelled push mower
Ok, this is a mower that SELF ADJUSTS the idle on it. there is no place to move a handle to make it go faster. Does that make a difference?

Best answer:

Answer by renpen
On top of the carburetor there should be a small screw with a spring on it. That would be the idle stop screw. With the mower running screw that screw slowly clockwise until it is idling as fast as you want it. Not cutting well probably has more to do with the blade. Maybe it needs sharpening.

my dad showed me how to a couple weeks ago but now i cant figure it out it wont start or do anything at all what am i not doing right?

Best answer:

Answer by Somethingtotry
Hold the brake pedal with your foot. Press the start/run switch all the way forward, turn the key. When it starts, put the start/run switch in the run mode. If it doesn’t start right away, put it in run mode, turn the ignition key, push the start/run forward for an instant and then return to run position.
