John Deere Owner Check-In --- Read This First!

[m4p]

Hi all,
New to the forum and new to lawn tractors. We just got a D130 and started it up for the first time today. Still trying to figure things out from the manual and hopefully we can get some help here, as we need all the help we can get.

Thanks for a great forum.

Hi, I have a 1983 John Deere 318 with 1530 hours and running strong.

I also have a 1986 John Deere 318 with a 44 loader which I added brush forks to.

Just purchased a JD D130 to replace a 10 year old Cub Cadet. That replaced an older JD lawn tractor that lasted 20 years. Unfortunatly there were no JD sales places near me when I got stuck with the Cub Cadet.

Howdy all,
Just joined found and joined this forum. I have a couple of mowers, one of course being a JD 345.


Not a bad little mower, wife really likes using it, as well as Daisy Mae.

I just bought a 2008 LA 165. good looking and running machine..The problem I am looking at is the steering..Seems like the pinion and gear plate are not meshing when in a tough turn.. I think the bushing is bad..and was just wondering if yall had this problem? Looks like an easy fix..How did you JD owners fix this
