Belt Inspection: Regularly inspect the mower deck belt and drive belt for wear, cracks, or fraying. Replace belts every 2-3 years, or sooner if needed, to maintain optimal performance.
Blade Sharpening: Sharpen mower blades at least once a season, or more frequently if you notice tearing of the grass instead of a clean cut. Dull blades stress the engine and reduce mowing efficiency.
Filter Changes: Change the engine oil and filter annually, or every 50 hours of use, to ensure proper engine lubrication and longevity. Also, clean or replace the air filter regularly to maintain optimal engine performance.
Seasonal Storage: Before storing your John Deere L105 TRACTION for the winter, stabilize the fuel, change the oil and filter, and disconnect the battery. Store the mower in a dry, covered location to protect it from the elements.
