This is a quick explanation to a John Deere D105 transmission problem. My mower suddenly stopped moving during operation. The engine was running but depressing the pedal, nothing happened. Turned out that a small washer on top of a pulley in the transmission system failed. I could not find many resources on how to fix this problem so I decided to make my own to try and save some people from major headaches and fees. I’m not a licensed mechanic of ANY sort and your decision to follow this “fix” is your own liability in the end. If I could go back in time and purchase a different mower I would have.
PLEASE READ BELOW FOR A FEW MORE STEPS/TIPS!!!
Sorry guys but I missed a few points in my video. If you have any confusion send me a message or leave a comment.
-When you begin to drop the transmission there is also a small electrical box/wire setup that comes out from the frame to the transmission assembly on the passenger side of the mower. This box can (and should) be detached by depressing it from the backside of the box.
-Once you have loosened the transmission bolt mounts you must start disconnecting the drive belt (which goes above the transmission belt). To do this there is a small guide post that keeps the belt in the pulley track. The post is on the passenger side and hardly visible from underneath. Use an 8 (or 10mm?) socket to remove the bolt that holds the guide into the transmission assembly. If the belt is tight you can engage the parking brake and it will give the belt some slack.
-When reassembling the transmission to the frame, lift the transmission about half way up and then set your belt back in the pulley track with the v side to the inside of track. Again use the brake to give it some slack. Once it’s in the track you can put the guide post back in and release the parking brake. If you don’t put the post in at this time you won’t have much working space when the transmission is back in its top spot.
-When you depress the spring to reinstall the washer assembly I’d highly recommend wearing some goggles. The more lighting you have to do this, the better. I found it easiest to use my strong hand to depress the spring and I used a long torque screw bit to start the threads on the screw. Once I was sure it had caught I cautiously removed my hand as slowly as I could then promptly tightened it by holding the pulley in place and tightening the screw with a small wrench. Take care not to cross threat it!
Hopefully this will clear up some points and help some people.
