Why does our D100 keep throwing belts? It has about 30 hours and mows about 1 tenth of an acre of back and front yard. Anyone else have this problem?
Which belt? I assume your referring to the deck belt. The flat piece of steel that the tensioner is mounted on, where the mounting bolt goes through the brakes, it wallows out and just a tiny bit of play around that bolt allows the pulley - which is mounted on the opposite end- to move up and down 2-3 inches thus being out of alignment with other pulleys and BLAM...it's off.

My mower starts ok but will not go when I put it in gear what could the problem be please
New drive belt needed and ask for you brake assembly to be checked on transmission maybe dirty
Can I run my D100 with the backup safety switch removed? Because of an injury I cannot turn around and hold the switch in. Is there a way to adjust the seat safety switch so I can sit on the edge of seat and not have it turn off
Discount the electric plug beside the gear shift shaft on top of the transmission
How much is the D100 now and where can I buy one please
Hi buddy. Discontinued model. Honestly look at different brands. I’ve had nothing but drama with my D100. Traded in for a Toro. Awesome machine.
My blades used to shut off immediately when I turned the lever down. Now they just slow to a stop when I disengage them. What's could the problem be?
JD D100 when put in gear goes at half the speed.
There are brake pads on each spindle that press against the spinning spindles pulleys on the top side of the cutting deck when you release the cutting arm for mowing, these ware down or are out of adjustment making the blades spin slowly down until they stop
Went out to an started mower drove about 200 feet it sounded like I ran over something stop checked it out found nothing hit notice belt is really lose an now it owing start is it because belt is loose or is there another problem?
Added a small amount of 10-w30 oil before using mower, about 10 minutes later it started lots of white smoke coming out muffler. Never missed , kept running good. Oil level a 1/8 in above full line What's up with this? Thank you
Mine has white smoke and smells like something is burning for the first few moments of starting but clears and runs fine. It is burning some oil off but not sure where the leak is or why a less than 1 year old mower would be leaking.
Oil Level is too full, better to have a little under full on the dipstick...let it sit for at least 15 minutes after running it. make sure it is on level ground, then check the oil again. whenever you add oil to a lawn mower engine do it on level ground and never over fill it.
Was riding along and it stopped. Tried to restart, just get a click or two. Battery tests as full. Any help?
If its not turning at all, the motor has probably seized. They are having a problem with the 19HP Briggs engine and its pretty common in the D110 actually. This is exactly what happened to mine. Good luck with it. Still get it checked though.
Why does my 17.5 Briggs Engine smoke when engage the blades?
How to engage my blades on my John Deere 100 series riding mower without switch?
Don’t quite understand your question,why would you be trying to engage the deck by not using a switch, that is it’s sole purpose, on the smaller JD’s the cutting blades are engaged manually with a lever, up market ones are engaged through a switch to a solenoid, if the cutting deck is not engaging with the switch turned you may have either a blown fuse, faulty switch or solenoid, I would check power supply first, I assume belts are intact?
My mower blocks every time I use it. I empty it as soon as the hopper full light comes on,or before but it always blocks and spews out the cuttings. Is this a common problem?
Broke mower belt, replaced now it wont start or even turn over, like no power to the key. Help! Its only 2 years old. Any ideas?
My JD100 lawn tractor will not engage 100% when put in gear.
It slightly grabs but no real engagement.
What is wrong?
Thanks
I have a D100 manual ride on, yesterday it was going well and bang it stopped. The motor is still running however what ever gear I put it in its still not going. Smoke was starting to come from underneath. Is it my transmission?
Sounds like a broken drive belt - hence the smoke. Have a look underneath and see if it's still intact!
Thks I will.
Hello ..While I was cutting my grass ..I heard a pop and then my mower blades stopped working...But the engine was still running..I turn the PTO lever off and on mower blades will not turn..The Mower is a John Deere D-100 and I bought it new 4 years ago..Its been a great mower..What can I do? Thanks
Take the mower to your nearest JD dealer for repair
Sounds to me like you blew out the belt that runs the blades. It's easy to replace yourself. It will be easier if you can remove the deck.
I replaced my blades and belt. Now when I start mower the belts spin all the time. Even with the lever in there is position. Why? What do I have hooked up wrong?
Sounds like you've hooked up to the drive pulleys
why do the blades keep turning when the pto is in the off position on my John Deere D100 lawn mower?
Because your brake pads are worned for your spindles.
