While the assembly instructions are not good, the mower assembly isn’t difficult to figure out by anyone familiar with a socket-set. A check-inspection as if you are the factory final-quality-inspector is a good idea. found a couple of loose items, but nothing difficult. Overall, this is a good value for the price and does a fine job of cutting my 20 acres of turf aircraft runways. One rwy was overgrown and probably should have used a rotary cutter first, but this FH-FM180 did fine first-pass, second-pass made it golf-course quality. WARNING: Blade bolts are LEFT HAND. Use 80/90 gear oil, 1 qt in gearbox. Grease 3 spindles, and two zerks in PTO shaft U-joints. No-scalp wheels are not greaseable, and their longevity will be interesting. Warranty support is GREAT! I had a center spindle seize after ten hours and their new parts-guy ROCKY is FAST and knowledgeable. Thank you!

This PTO driven finish mower seems to be very well constructed and heavy duty. Betstco had the best price with free shipping. It arrived promptly, well packaged within a steel angle iron frame, which one end piece unbolted to allow mower to be carefully lifted out. There wasn’t any assembly instructions included, but a good picture on the front of the operation and parts manual was sufficient. I spent a couple hours assembling and tightening all bolts. The gear box takes 1 quart of 80w-90 gear oil which needs to be purchased and installed before use. I had to shorten the supplied drive shaft 5” for a proper installation length.My initial trial cut set with all spacers at bottom of axle spindle, which is the highest setting, was a touch too high. So with each 1” spacer moved above, to spindle clip side, made a beautiful cut down around 2 1/2” range. This I being used to cut a 5 acre horse pasture, which has been 99% cleared of rocks and has a slight rolling terrain.I had been using a 54” craftsman garden tractor for the past 15 years. I should have purchased this 15 years ago, because this unit took me about 2 1/2 hours, instead of 5 hours and I was not a green furry looking monster when done. And didn’t have to spend another hour cleaning up my lawn mower and myself.I’m using this FM180 behind a MT2201D Mitsubishi, which just cruises right along, no bogging down, just cutting grass and taking names. The rear discharge keeps the blades free from clogging and bogging down. After using the first 2 1/2 hours I just hosed the top and bottom down, blew it off, dried it and greased parts. I also pulled belt covers just to check for adjustment, which were snug before first use. I found they now needed a slight snugging as they must have “set in”. I adjusted the belt drive back about a 1/4” after making a mark on housing in original position. I also pulled the blades to refresh the cutting edge. (Note: the blade bolts are left hand threads and take a 13/16” socket)I highly recommend this unit from Betstco, as after a ton of research, found this to be the best deal you can find on a heavy duty, well built finish mower. Many of the reviews on the King Kutter were not good and were considerably more money.Thanks so much to Betstco!Stevereno

Instructions are inadequate. The mower comes in a steel frame metal banded to a wooden pallet. Mower and accessories are securely wired to the frame. Unpacking was uneventful until I tried to remove the mower from the frame. I had to hacksaw the frame apart. The assembly instructions are laughable as the say to refer to the exploded view.Unfortunately it is low quality and inconsistent with the picture. This made assembly of the 3pt top link attachment a challenge. There is a note that says oil has to be added to the gear box. while it calls out 90 weight, it does not say how much is needed. There are clearly labeled access points for the blades. But there are threaded holes, but no xerk fittings. :-(. Finally, the PTO drive shaft would not slide on the splined shaft because there was a very big burr in the spline directly in front of the spring loaded lock. I had to file down. Finally, the plastic safety cover on the gear box is so small I can’t get my hand in to press the lock button on the drive shaft.

The overall quality of the mower appears to be good. To be a really good product better however, unpacking and assembly instructions are needed. Either install the missing xerks or supply them. And supply better information about the gear box oil requirements.

The John Deere Easy Change™ 30-Second Oil Change System

Never drain engine oil again.

We’ve changed the oil change. Revolutionized it really. See how fast and easy changing your oil can now be on 100 Series Riding Lawn Tractors with the John Deere Easy Change™ 30-Second Oil Change System. Only from John Deere. Included on the E120, E130, E150, E160, E170, and E180 models.

Step One. Take it off.

Lift the hood. Make sure the engine is cool, then, twist to remove. It’s that simple.

Step Two. Twist and lock.

Grab the new Easy Change™ Canister, twist and lock into place. Make sure the arrow on your Filter System aligns with the arrow on your engine.

Step three. Done.

Close the hood and mow. John Deere recommends the Easy Change™ 30-second Oil Change System every 50 hours or at the end of your mowing season. Don’t drain engine oil ever again.

Draining engine oil is so 2017.

The engine modifications and new technologies are in. The re-envisioned oil filter with a media designed to resist breaking down in oil over time is here. The thousands of hours of testing are done. The end result is an all-in-one, oil and oil filter system like no other. The first of its kind. And thanks to the new John Deere Easy Change™ 30-Second Oil Change System (“System”), you’ll never have to drain the oil from 100 Series Riding Lawn Tractors again.

finish, mower, wheel, assembly

Here’s why: The new System captures contaminants and recharges your engine with nearly a quart (0.8qt) (0.76 l) of new oil. In fact, this System increases the amount of oil in the engine by nearly 40%. 2 Your engine likes that.

What do you mean, I will never have to drain oil from my engine again? How is that possible? The answer is simple. We have developed a better filtration system and filter design for our 100 Series Riding Lawn Tractors 1. This fully synthetic filter media has greater surface area which increases its capacity to hold harmful contaminants. What’s more, the filter media is designed to resist breaking down in oil over time. Which means you’ll get a cooler running engine. And a cooler running engine and better filtering helps increase engine oil life. John Deere’s recommended oil service for 100 Series Riding Lawn Tractors 1. is to change the System every 50 hours or once a season, whichever comes first. Remember, the System replaces a portion of your engine oil. And that’s plenty.

The System uses John Deere Turf-Gard™ Oil. Using John Deere Turf-Gard™ Oil ensures you are using the exact oil specified by John Deere engineers.

Testing. Testing. Testing. Thanks to thousands of hours of rigorous and extensive testing, you can feel confident your engine will run for years to come.

1 The John Deere Easy Change™ 30-Second Oil Change System is available on E120, E130, E150, E160, E170 and E180 Lawn Tractors today.

2 Compared to similar V-Twin engine models that do not have the John Deere Easy Change™ 30-Second Oil Change System. That includes equivalent Deere 2017 models and 2018 models without the System.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is new with John Deere Riding Lawn Equipment?

We are excited about the exclusive John Deere Easy Change™ 30 second oil change system. Exclusive to John Deere and only available on certain models of the new 100 Series Lawn Tractors. These tractors are designed for ease of use for both operation and maintenance. The John Deere Easy Change™ System (“Easy Change”) allows the user to easily complete the recommended engine oil and filter maintenance in 30 seconds.

What is this new oil change system?

We changed the oil change. The all-in-one oil and oil filter system gives the owner the ability to change a portion of the oil and the filter in less than 30 seconds.

What happens to the rest of the oil in the engine when the Easy Change system is replaced?

The Easy Change system replaces.8 quart of oil. The remaining oil in the engine is refreshed by the charge of new oil included in the replacement Easy Change system. Combined with 40% more engine oil capacity, improved filtration and cooler running temperatures which help extend oil life, it is no longer necessary to remove and dispose of all the oil in your engine during service.

What makes the Easy Change system unique from other filters?

It is not just a filter. It is a newly developed technology system that allows a new “filter” to come already charged with oil and allows you to remove an existing filter and the contaminants inside without tools and without making a mess. Beyond the filter, technology within the canister and on your engine makes this possible.

Models with the Easy Change oil system use a fully synthetic filter that has more capacity to trap and hold contaminants. The larger surface area of the Easy Change canister acts like a radiator helping the oil to stay cool.

Does the Easy Change system somehow decrease the life of the engine?

The John Deere 100 Series lawn tractor models, with and without Easy Change, are specified for the same lifetime and are rigorously tested to the same standards to ensure the life of the tractor meets expectations.

Can I add the Easy change system to an existing tractor?

Because this system also requires unique features within the engine, the Easy Change system cannot be added to an engine that was not equipped with it at the factory.

finish, mower, wheel, assembly

Can I change all the oil if I choose to?

You could if you wanted to. There is an oil drain plug. It is not required for maintenance.

How often do I need to change the Easy Change canister?

Every 50 hours or once a year. The 100 Series Lawn Tractors with and without the Easy Change system have the same maintenance schedule.

What type of oil is recommended?

We recommend only John Deere Turf-Gard™ 10W30 Oil. The Easy Change canister comes pre-filled with John Deere Turf-Gard™ 10W30 oil.

How do I recycle the old oil?

Many local government recycling programs, authorized retailers, auto repair stations, and auto parts stores will puncture and recycle used oil filters and oil.

Do I ever need to add oil?

Yes. Consistent with our service recommendations for this product, you should check oil level daily and add oil if required.
