CargO Mount™ system makes installation of rear bagger and other attachments easy




The CargO Mount system is a combination of front- and rear-mounting points providing convenient and easy installation of the sun canopy, rear bagger, and other attachments.
The Edge™ cutting system gives superior performance


The Edge cutting system has been trademarked to emphasize the advantages of the John Deere mower deck designs. They give the mower superior convenience, performance, and reliability.
The 107-cm (42-in.) two-spindle, three-in-one mower is constructed of 13-gauge, 2.3-mm (0.090-in.) steel for long life:
- The mower deck has a rolled lip to provide greater strength and protection.
- The deep-deck mower design lifts grass for a clean, even cut.
- The smooth underside of the mower prevents grass buildup and evenly disperses grass clippings.
- The rolled outer edge of the deck provides extra strength and protection.
- Dual-stage E-coat and powder paint coatings provide extra protection from rust.
- No tools are required to go from mulching to side discharge to rear bagging.
- The blade-to-spindle design provides a unique mounting system for the mower blade that provides extra safety and convenience.
- A mulch cover is an optional attachment that can be installed without tools to allow mulching with the standard mower blades.
- A high-performance mulch plug is an optional attachment that includes a mulch plug and special mulching blades for excellent performance.
- A cut-and-throw, 229-L (6.5-bu) rear bagger is sold separately.
Mower wash port


A wash port is provided to make cleaning the underside of the mower deck easy:
- A hose connector is included with mower deck.
StarLock™ blade design

The StarLock blade design keeps the blade bolt at the correct torque for easy removal.
Optional blades for difficult mulching or bagging conditions are available.
Mower deck height adjustment

A spring-assisted, low-effort, ergonomically-designed lift lever simplifies setting and adjusting the mower cut height:
- Increments of 0.64 cm (0.25 in.) allow the operator to fine-tune the cut height from 2.5 cm (1 in.) to 10.2 cm (4 in.).
- The lift handle is shaped and located for easy use, and is out of the way of entering or exiting operators.
Serviceability is convenient with an easy-open hood


The one-piece hood opens easily to permit checking and servicing the engine:
- Important service points are located within easy reach.
- A service interval decal is provided inside the tractor hood for convenience when servicing the tractor.
- Hourmeter includes a service reminder feature that flashes for two hours when a lubrication or mower/engine service interval has been reached.


The engine fuel and oil filters, the oil check/fill tube, and the oil drain tube are exposed for serviceability when the hood is opened.
The seat tilts up and out of the way to make adding fuel easy.
The 100 Series Tractors are covered by a 2-year/120-hour bumper-to-bumper warranty*:
- Premium features of 100 Series Tractors allow for this long warranty period.
*Term limited to years or hours used, whichever comes first, and varies by model. See the LIMITED WARRANTY FOR NEW JOHN DEERE TURF AND UTILITY EQUIPMENT at JohnDeere.com or JohnDeere.ca/TUWarranty for details.
Instruments and controls are easy to find and convenient to use


Instruments and controls
The contoured dash has clean, attractive styling:
- Controls are color coded and labeled for easy identification by the operator.
- Controls are logically placed and easy to reach.
- The hourmeter makes it easy to tell when oil changes and other maintenance should be performed.
- The service reminder feature will indicate that a general lubrication or mower/engine service interval has been reached.
- When service is required, arrows will periodically flash for two hours.
- Functional design of the controls provides good appearance and a comfortable feel.
Mower deck height adjustment

A spring-assisted, low-effort lift lever simplifies setting and adjusting the mower cut height:
- Increments of 0.64-cm (0.25-in.) allow for fine-tuning the cut height
- Cut height is adjustable from 2.5 cm (1 in.) to 10.2 cm (4 in.).
Parking brake control


The parking brake control is conveniently located on the tractor pedestal for easy access. It holds the brake pedal securely in the locked position.
Manual power take-off (PTO)

The mower deck is engaged with the easy-to-see and easy-to-use yellow lever above the dashboard. Its placement on the right side leaves a lot of room on the left, the entry side of the tractor, for the operator to get on and off the tractor.
Operator station designed for comfortable operation


The operator station is designed for operator comfort and easy operation:
- Controls are positioned where they are easy to reach and easy to use to control the tractor.
- Steering wheel is positioned and angled to give the operator plenty of room and steering comfort.
- Seat is tilted back at the optimum angle to provide the most comfortable operator position.


Controls are easy to see and use:
- Large, three-spoke steering wheel for greater operator comfort and control
- Ignition switch is on the dash for starting ease
Wide footrest areas with non-slip, anti-vibration floor mats are provided for operator comfort:
- Footrest area is designed for optimum operator comfort
- Debris-removing channels help keep the footrest area clean and dry


The operator station is designed for operator comfort and easy operation:
- Controls are positioned where they are easy to reach and easy to use to control the tractor.
- Steering wheel is positioned and angled to give the operator plenty of room and steering comfort.
- Seat is tilted back at the optimum angle to provide the most comfortable operator position.

Two long seat springs give plenty of seat travel to smooth out the ride, keeping the operator comfortable while operating the tractor.
Seat can be tilted forward for protection from the elements and to provide easy access to the fuel tank.
Cast-iron front axle will not bend

The front axle is constructed of solid cast iron that will not bend:
- Automotive-like steering system with sector and pinion steering gears and single drag link with a tie rod provides a very strong, low-effort, and tight-turning system.
- Three grease fittings, on both steering spindles and center pivot, allow for regular lubrication to help maintain easy steering and minimize wear.
- Large, 1.9-cm (0.75-in.) diameter wheel spindles provide excellent durability.
Powerful engine features full-pressure lubrication for long life


A 13-kW (17.5-hp), single-cylinder engine has plenty of power and torque to handle tough mowing, mulching, and bagging conditions:
- Electronic ignition for fast starts
- Spring-return feature to ensure the operator will not mistakenly leave the throttle lever in the choke position
- Cast-iron cylinder liner for long engine life
- Overhead valves for excellent power and fuel economy
- Anti-vibration system
- Full-pressure lubrication and oil filter for cleaner oil, prolonging engine life, and extending the time between oil changes
- More effective when operating the tractor on an incline
- Large fuel filter for trouble-free operation

The no-tools oil drain valve is easy to access when changing engine oil.
Automatic transmission makes it easy to choose the exact travel speed for each operating condition

The automatic transmission allows the operator to easily choose the desired forward or reverse travel speed by simply depressing a single foot pedal; this is similar to the way the driver of an automobile with automatic transmission changes speed when depressing the accelerator.
Whether a slow speed for trimming or faster speed for open-area mowing is desired, the operator can easily adjust by how far the foot pedal is depressed.


With the brake pedal depressed and the forward/reverse lever in the center position, the engine can be started. Once the engine is started, it is not necessary to use the brake pedal when selecting forward or reverse. Simply move the forward/reverse lever to select travel direction, and then press the automatic foot pedal to choose from an infinite number of travel speeds.


With the automatic speed control pedal, the operator can choose from an infinite number of speeds forward or reverse:
- Forward: 0 to 8.9 km/h (0 to 5.5 mph)
- Reverse: 0 to 5.1 km/h (0 to 3.2 mph)
Frame made of full-length welded steel for reliability


The solid one-piece frame is constructed of 12-gauge, 2.66-mm (0.105-in.) steel:
- Full-length, robotically-welded frame design has high-strength steel rails for added strength and long life.
- One-piece, steel fender deck is bolted to the frame.
