John Deere L110 Refresh 

Just about up to 800 hours on the original engine still!

@@TreeChangeFarmer Bullet proof ✔️

The seat cover I bought from the local John Deere dealer. They have different sizes depending on the height of the seat back. The mower one was easy to get local but I have one for the 2025R tractor and could only get that one from the US. Cheers Dave.

I sent the transmission to a repair shop (not JD). After 25 hours it is now leaking oil, it wasn't before I sent it away! Just about to investigate so there may be a video on what I find soon. The rebuild to the transmission cost nearly $800 a new replacement from JD back then was $1250. If we could get the 'Tuff Torq' rebuild kits here in Australia I would have given it a go myself. For the paint I use a 'devilbiss' gun I bought for car restoration. It is a brazillian made one and is cheaper than the GTI gun. Pressure at the gun head was only 20 psi so not to over blow the paint. Cheers Dave.

Will do thanks for the tip! Cheers Dave

Hello Jay. There was a warranty on the transaxle of one month. About 1 week later than one month, it started leaking oil. Must have lost a bit by now as the groans and noises have returned as before. Will need to pull it out again and have a look. Certainly didn't leak oil before I sent it away! The place that did the service have a fancy website with pictures of what looks like a modern factory complex but when I googled the address it was just a suburban house and the guy obviously works from his home garage. Cheers Dave

@@TreeChangeFarmer well that's no good. Sorry to hear that.

@@TreeChangeFarmer sorry to hear. Hope you can go after him and have it fixed right or a refund of some kind.

@@TreeChangeFarmer Friggin wankers using silly cone or selastic to seal it Tuff Torque sell the seals the RTV goop and a gallon of SAE 30 oil in a kit for these trans In fact their rebuild kit with a new motor and slave motor ect is around 500 bucks Although im not too sure what the shipping would be to OZ But im betting you could of done a better job than the cowboy that did the work Im betting all he did was drain the oil through the vent seal split the cases have a look and maybe clean the inside magnets ? Then bung some silly cone on it bolt it up and fill it using the same vent hole instead of the proper fill plug at the back that has a magnet you remove Then you fill it to 3/4 of an inch below the top with SAE 30 oil clean and refit the magnet bung a new plug on it and your done Its only a case of beer to a buddy type job The main wear in these things is the plates the motors ride on wear down a bit in the middle and can be fixed using some 600 to 1200 grit sand paper and a sheet of glass if there not too bad The other wear is the differential gears in the back Mainly the spider gears This may help ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3D_vtMg-Zxg.html

The good thing about John Deere is the availability of parts. Most times I need bushings, bearings etc, the local dealer has them in stock Cheers Dave.

Thanks for watching! The Kohler engine is still great but my transmission has developed a leak (which it didn't have before) and I will do a video soon trying to track down where it is coming from. Not the seals on the axle so I think when they rebuilt it, they didn't get the liquid gasket maker in the right place. Looks to be leaking from one of the bolts. Cheers Dave.

My transmission began leaking oil only 5 hours after the rebuild. Never leaked before.

There will be an update on this soon as I have found that the transmission is leaking a lot of oil. Hoping it may just be a loose bolt or the sealant has been missed in a spot. Either way it will have to come out so the oil can be topped up. Cheerts Dave.
