John Deere 24HP VTwin Hydrostatic 48" Riding Mower Questions & Answers
My x320 will not fire. I changed gas , plugs and
Is the Sparkplug cable getting fire? To check it pull the cap off of the plug. carefully pull the cap back to expose the snap ring. hold the wire part with insolated pliers (it will bite if hot) close enough to the head (metal part) to get about a 1/8 in gap between sparkplug snap and the head While in a poor light area or dark. have someone turn key. you should get a bluish spark. if not check for a burnt inline fuse. fuse is good then replace sparkplug wire, voltage regulator and coil. best to do all 3 because if one is bad the working parts were over working while the failing part was weakening. Good luck!
Engine surges won't run with out choke and
If the engine surges and won't run without choke it is starving for fuel. Best place to start is the fuel filter. After the fuel filter, pull the fuel line off of the carburetor and place a container under the fuel line to catch the fuel. Crank the engine over and watch for the amount of fuel being pumped through the line. There should be a good stream of fuel with each pulse from the pump. Chances are the pump diaphragm is getting weak and it cannot keep enough fuel in the carb to run proper. Check those items and let me know if it helps, Daniel.
How to hold btushes in to put on rotor
I tie the brushes in using threads then cut and remove the threads after it is assembled.
This assumes there is gaps to get in after the assembly. If there none there should be 2 small holes in the housing that allow pins or very small rods to be inserted past the brush when it is fully depressed holding it in its holder. The pins are removed after assembly letting the brushes seat.

While mowing
check the connecting rod to the tranny. follow the gear handle and you should find a rod connecting the handle to the axle make sure you're in neutral and adjust the rod until the handle starts to move
How can I get a
Elbow grease. You might even have to put a gear puller on it an put some pressure on it then tap with a hammer. Try to clean it up as good as you can.
Mower blades froze up
Have you greased the bearings on the mower deck recently? Is there something jamming the blades?
Remove the deck and see if you can move the blades by hand. If you insist on not removing the deck to do this ... make sure the belt that drives the deck is not on the drive shaft of the motor to prevent accidental starting of the motor and instant mangling of your hand. If you can move all the blades, look for a faulty or worn out pulley on the deck. If the blades are frozen in their bearings, get replacement towers at your John Deere dealer or from a FixYa.com advertiser. If one is faulty or rusted ... replace them all ... as they are probably at or near the same condition. Do this job one time and do it correctly.

I have John Deere L100 new battery and new clutch safety switch won't roll over turn the key it does nothing.
There are several possible causes for this, such as:
A loose or disconnected spark plug wire
A faulty or dirty spark plug
A clogged or faulty fuel system
A broken or chafed wire from the starter
A bad voltage regulator or battery
A malfunctioning safety switch or ignition switch
You wll have to check each one of these, clean what is dirty, replace what is broken or clogged, make sure the spark gat is .76 mm if you change the plugs. You will need a multimeter to check the voltage regulator.
- Disconnect the three-wire connector from the voltage regulator.
- Connect the jumper wire from the negative battery terminal to the black wire terminal on the voltage regulator.
- Connect the red probe of the multimeter to the red wire terminal on the voltage regulator, and the black probe to the jumper wire.
- Set the multimeter to measure DC voltage and turn the ignition switch to the ON position. You should see a reading of about 12 volts. If not, the voltage regulator is faulty and needs to be replaced.
- Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position and disconnect the multimeter and the jumper wire.
- Reconnect the three-wire connector to the voltage regulator and the negative battery cable to the battery terminal.
