For the mow in reverse switch, I got a giant plastic clamp and clamped down on the switch. Another stratagy is to get a thin metal wire and wrap it on both of the 2 connection terminals to the switch to short it out so it should work
Have had my E120 for four years now. It's never seen any fuel containing ethanol. That's a huge part of longevity. Same story for my pusher, which still starts on first pull every time, even coming back from extended non-use.
Just wire off the switch make contact that all switch does and keep it running it just safe switch and when push it come peat circlet, the foot paled brake circlet and button come peat circlet again !!
Interested in tractor. Decided on the S130 I think. And local dealer got one in this week, only one.. Haven't been able to find it anywhere else for the last couple months. Not sure if supplies will be hard to come by in spring too. So I believe I'll get it. That reverse thing with the mower kind of stinks. The quick oil system looks like it stinks but easily converted. It seems to be the best model for what I need. A step up from the base, to base models.
It's suppliers I was interested in these s140 and talked to my local and he said they had no eta on when they'd get the s140 in but were getting the 120 and 130s in I locked myself in on one
I'd have just put a few cups of gasoline in it for the initial checkout. If you return something, typically they require it back with NO gasoline in it. You like living dangerously. No way I'd have driven it down that ramp, pushed instead with me OFF it. With that hill, probably should get a set of chains for the rear wheels.
Lehew ... if you'd bought this from a dealer, you'd had a lot less new owner problems. Second, had you read the owner's manual you'd had less problems as well. And from what I've seen in this video, don't undo your safety features you need them.
@@LehewTech Still haven't read the owner's manual have we ? I headed up the logistics dept for a 28 store JD dealer group, and on two Saturday's a month sold lawn mowers during the warm NC weather. Your break-in oil is totally used up after just 20 hours, the damage to the engine may already be done. I have older models from JD that use the standard oil filter and use Mobil Synthetic 30 weight, your's, the quick change system, do it soon. And the RIO ... leave it alone, use it. I've seen those who use it after about 6 hours of mowing it's automatic to hit the switch before the pedal.
Uh instead of driving it off, I’m the back there is a L shaped metal lever sticking out and could disengage the transmission for east moving instead of possibly hurting yourself
I just got my S130 a couple of days ago. The oil is good. I checked and it was at the perfect level. Probably because of the easy change deal. My PTO is manual, which I think I prefer. Used the mower for the first time today and my clothes stained the seat. 😕
