John Deere LA115 Specifications & Technical Data (2008-2010)

Check pulleys for wear and worn out bearings. A pulley rides on bearings that allows it to spin freely. When a pulley doesn't spin freely, friction is created between the pulley and belt, causing the belt to break.

Engaging the mower at anything less than full throttle can throw the belt off. The next thing that will cause this is an IDLER pulley beating that is dry. Over a period of time, these idler pulleys will wear out and the grease goes away. You CANNOT grease these bearing so you will just have to replace them.

Signs of a bad lawn mower belt: Fraying or cracking on the surface of the belt. Excessive stretching or looseness in the belt. A rumbling or squealing noise when the mower is running.

Free Spinning Pulley – Spin the pulley with your fingers. Does it spin more than 1-2 revolutions? If it does, the cause is a lack of grease in the bearing, a sign it will fail soon. Seized Bearings – An indication that the pulley will lock up.

While mower belts don't have a set expiration date, they exhibit wear signs indicating the need for replacement. Here are the key indicators to look out for: Cracks: Mower belts can develop small cracks over time, especially if exposed to heat and frequent use.

A loose belt can also lead to premature failure of the belt itself, as well as the bearings. For this reason, it's important to watch out for common signs of a loose belt to avoid belt slippage and misalignment. These signs can include: Belt cracking or pieces breaking off.

The proper tension for operating a V-belt drive is the lowest tension at which the belts will not slip at peak load conditions. For applications without a variable frequency drive (VFD) or starter, and the motor is “ran across the line”, the tension must be able to handle the increased motor torque during startup.

How do I tell what year my John Deere mower is? ›

How do you tell what year a John Deere mower is? You can find the model and serial number on a tag under the seat or under the hood or someplace on the mower. Write these numbers down and call a J D dealer and the dealer will tell you when it was built, and if you can still get parts for it.

The first Model “G” was probably built in May 1937, but its exact build date is unknown. The serial number, G-1000, was scrapped and became G-2810. The second “G,” number G-1001, was built on May 10. The next few years saw many changes to the John Deere row-crop tractor line.

1949–1959: diesels and post World War II production. After years of testing, Deere & Company released its first proper diesel engined tractor in 1949, the Model R. The R was also the first John Deere tractor with a live independent power take-off (PTO) equipped with its own clutch.

To determine the year of manufacture for a tractor with a six digit number use the following formula. Take the first and the fourth digit, and subtract three to get the year. For example, the serial number of 395602 would be: 36-3 = 1933.
