In Reply to: Value of John Deere Model 420 lawn and garden tractor posted by Art Renfro on Friday, February 04, 2005:
I've had a John Deere Model 420 since 1995. Very few problems, if you keep it serviced. I had the engine rebuilt a couple years ago. It had over 1900 hours on it before the rebuild.
Today, I have a problem.
The deck blades won't start turning whne I engage the mower. I don;t find a problem with the shaft drive or the blade belts. The light come on to show it's engaged but nothing happens. My wife told me that the last cope of times she used the mower, the blades would engage the first but if you disengaged the mower for any reason, they would not engage again until the mower sat for a couple hours.
I feel it's probably a sensor but don;t know where to look. The connection on the seat looks to be fine.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. would be helpful.
Thanks,
Joe
