Thanks slomo !;-) That's what our ignition module looks like. And I was wondering if that's what's often also referred to as coils - on mowers/tractors ? Semantics?

Seeing that reminded me of some fond memories . . . I grew-up archery hunting, well, dinking around since 9~10 yrs old, but I think we had hunting permits at 15 yrs old. My dad, a Boeing Engineer, made my first several bows for me. He and his buddies used to actually make recurve bows in our...

OP — Hope you don't mind me interjecting a pretty dumb question. [insert inexplicably missing *embarrassed* emoticon] Dear slomo — While it's embarrassing to show my ignorance, I must admit that everytime I read forum posts mentioning 'coil's on lawn & garden tractor forum threads... I usually...

Very similar symptoms happened with our GT225 garden tractor, after it had sat for a long while, even though our battery registered 12.1~3 volts (with no load); as well, after charging & jumping the JD STStrongBox battery— that looked to be in great shape, with good electrolyte levels —there was...

Have you checked the voltage on your battery? I've read about discharged batteries causing the same symptoms as you've described. A fully charged battery should be 12.6v+ ; moreover, having your battery 'load tested' reveals the true condition of your battery, and many auto parts stores will...

Hello and welcome aboard, fellow 'Forum Newbie' =)) I've only been here for 13 days, but I figure that's long enough to welcome others !=)) I've read several times, here on this forum as well as at others, that it's never recommended or a good idea to disconnect, 'disable' and/or bypass the...

Thanks again, got it ;-) I really appreciate your help.

Thank you very much, Scrubcadet10 !;-) Oh too bad it's deactivating later this year. I logged-in as guest; CV15S-41571 doesn't match anything, but I'll explore until I find it.

Thanks very much for reply, Scrubcadet10 ;-) I'm seeing a different diagram and parts list at: partscatalog.deere.com , but I can see where the valve lifters are specified as: 'LIFTER, VALVE HYDRAULIC' - for our CV15S. So at this point I won't be pulling the valve cover off, thankfully. Where is...

. . .These threads that just end like this drive me nuts ! :rolleyes: Nonetheless I really appreciate being able to read all the replies & suggestions & advice given - as it can help us all. Scrubcadet10 — If you see this, how do you tell if the lifters are hydraulic and therefore not in need...

Back to current problems . . . . yesterday, after installing a cheap fuel shutoff solenoid —that I unscrewed from a cheap $20 carb that I inexplicably ordered last summer via amaz, and wiring the connector— our engine started right up and ran as great as it's ever run for over an hour— my wife...

That's interesting. Have always wanted to visit Australia but alas it never quite worked out. =( One of my daughters visited several times whilst she lived for a year on Papua New Guinea. Hearing of your Kogerah Bay.... reminds of that very moving and haunting song I've always really liked...

Woo-wee! Gosh, that is a warm winter! Those are the same as our mid-summer temps in our Pacific Northwest !:-0 Hopefully you'll get more rain and lots of it, but not too much (unusually catastrophic floods seemingly happening all over the planet currently), so that your drought and fire season...

Ahh yes, makes good sense. Nice to know you're down under! ;-) How's your winter going down there this year? I have a friend -on a forum in the UK- that lives in Perth. Up here in MI, USA, the JD dealer wants $65 for the wheel-to-wheel connecting tie-rod w/the all-in-one-piece ball joints.

Hello farmermark, I'm new here too and just wanted to say I enjoyed reading your re-introduction post, and will be looking forward to reading about your restore project over the winter. As I would love to do the same, someday, with our 20 yr old GT225. So I'll be watching for your future posts...

Thanks again for info. Just today I was wondering about that rubber end piece; wondering if our ex solenoid did have one, and if it disintegrated over time and/or did come off and may still be stuck up in there. So thanks for heads-up on that; I think I glanced in there once or twice—when the...

Hey, no need to apologize ;-) I just really appreciate all your help & suggestions !;-) I feel kinda dumb for not knowing what I'm talking about. I should've looked closer at them, but connection is still solid; wheel control isn't loose; it was just that I noticed that both the black rubber...

Maybe I'm not referring to the correct thing. What I was asking the JD parts guy about...was (what I called the tie-rod) that connects from wheel-to-wheel, at the inside tab part of the wheel that accepts the ball joint studs. It was in between that wheel tab - and the tie-rod ball joint end -...

Wow! Great to know that info. Thank you very much, StarTech !;-) I've seen those 25 757 25-S kits at a few online parts sources, but they look quite a bit different than our ex solenoid, and they all have that black bumper/seal thing at the end of the vertical piston rod, which ours doesn't...

Oh okay, thanks very much for those suggestions !;-) The photos were in computer; the image .jpg file properties show: Dimensions 3624x2448 / Horiz Res 72 dpi / Vert Res 72 dpi / 3.43 MB ...and displays at approx 9" wide x 6 3/4" high - on our 15.6" notebook screen. And when I right-click an...

Amen ! ;) Although I'm not really sure what you're talkin' about. But Amen for attitude! I hear ya! ;) Our 2003 GT225 hasn't had that problem, nor any rust, but Amen again on the wisdom and foresight of accumulating critical and/or 'simple' spare parts.

Have realized, recently, that I should've started buying spare parts 3 or 4 years ago ! What's your favorite JD parts suppliers? Ours is a: GT225 lawn tractor w/48" deck— w/Kohler CV15S-41571 15hp OHV engine w/Walbro carb # 75 3349 1205393 Needs: Fuel Shutoff Solenoid Mower deck spindles (two...

This thread has seat info: https://www.lawnmowerforum.com/threads/recommendations-for-a-suspension-seat-for-gt235.62687/#post-383817

We forked over the moolah for a new seat from JD back in 2017. They look nice but of course they sure aren't comfortable; takes me several steps before I can straighten-up and walk right ! ? But at the time, and still presently, there were many on ebay that looked authentic for half the JD price.

Hello to all here. Looks like a nice forum. Have been trying to play mechanical nurse to a 2003 John Deere GT225 lawn tractor w/48" mower deck over the last 4 years. The quality of the cut is still beautiful, even though 2 of the 3 spindles have some big cracks and chunks missing. :~\...
