*Important note* on checking the oil level. Here's what the manual says: _"Install dipstick in tube but do not tighten. Allow dipstick threads to rest on top of tube and rotate cap counterclockwise until it 'clicks' or drops into place."_ Credit goes to *OTNimble* for bringing this to my attention.
Thank you so much for this video. I bought mine used and no manual...... Watched this several times, went up to the barn changed the oil, plus the air filter and shew wee my little tractor starts right up and purrs!!!! Was well past dew! Rebecca
Thanks for your note. Here's what the manual says - "Install dipstick in tube but do not tighten. Allow dipstick threads to rest on top of tube and rotate cap counterclockwise until it 'clicks' or drops into place."
Nice video. Thanks. I just got my X350. The decks are green now :) The only thing I would do in addition is wipe off the dipstick cap and the tube some in order to remove some of the dirt to lessen the chances of dirt getting into the engine. Probably not needed but that is just how I roll. Brian
Christopher, did you just get the oil and filter, and not the air filter, fuel filter, and 2 spark plugs? if not, that is a good price for oil and filter. thanks for the video!
@@chrisdungeon Are you sure that's right? According to the manual, I'm looking at it right here - "crankcase with oil filter (x350, x354, x370, x380, x384, x390, x394) - 2.1L (2.2qt)".
I’m going to stick with 2.2 quarts and add more if necessary just to be safe. The dealer told me 2.2 qts and so did the manual. Thanks for the video. It’ was very helpful to see it done.
The link you posted for the John Deere kit (oil, oil filter etc. ) states all the models it’s compatible with. Sadly, the x350 isn’t listed. Every other model is. Is that an oversight? Can this kit be used on the x350?
The link is correct. I personally used it for this video, and you can see the x350 listed in the answered questions. They also list the engine type which you can cross check.
I just bought this mower with 21.5HP Kawasaki engine. JD dealership told me to change the oil and filter after 6-8 hours, then follow normal guidelines for the life of the engine. That’s actually a pretty standard recommendation for brand new engines.
For a performance engine, sure... but not for one in a lawn tractor. Pretty standard recommendation from a dealership trying to milk you for unnecessary maintenance.
How did you get your tractor to run without being seated on the tractor? All of my other John Deere had a shut off switch when you dismounted the machine.
