FEATURES

Powerful engine features full-pressure lubrication for long life

A 17.5-hp (13.0-kW), single-cylinder engine has plenty of power and torque to handle tough mowing, mulching, and bagging:

• 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

Eye-catching styling built upon a dependable full-length welded steel frame

Light emitting diode (LED) headlights complement modern styling

The 100 Series Lawn Tractors are equipped with LED headlights that:

• Complement the tractor’s modern styling
• Use less power and are far more durable than incandescent light bulbs
• Provide a natural light quality that increases visibility in low-light conditions
• Light the field of view evenly

The hood used on 100 Series Lawn Tractors is made using the mold-in color process. The hood reduces sound, will not rust or dent, and provides resistance to UV light. Side openings let in plenty of cooling air while keeping the sound level low.

The solid one-piece frame is constructed of 12-gauge, 0.105-in. (2.66-mm) 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.

Snow removal is a strength of lawn tractors

An advantage of lawn tractors is their ability to use equipment for snow removal. Lawn tractor owners can add a John Deere snow blower or front blade to make quick work of moving snow whenever the need arises. Weather enclosure and tire-chain attachments add comfort and performance.

Equipment available for snow removal includes:

• 44-in. (112-cm) Snow Blower
• 46-in. (117-cm) Front Blade
• Tire chains or TerraGrip traction belts
• Weather enclosure
• Weights
