John Deere WON'T START !! No Crank / No Start - D125 Lawn Tractor - Let's Fix it !!

- Join me as we diagnose this John Deere D125 with only 37 hours on it, and find out why it won't crank or start. Turn the key and nothing happens. Fortunately, it turns out to be an easy fix. Thanks for watching Buck's Small Engine DIY, Putting the "Do" into "Do-It-Yourself."

My mower won’t start, and one headlight doesn’t come on… and my fuse is blown too. This is definitely an easier fix than I was expecting 👍🏼
Check this out. Bought this from someone the other day. I found these exact wires melted in the exact same damn place. This fixed it for me. I did notice the wire before but thought nothing of it.. thinking to myself "Oh just the headlight connector" Crazy how this would give you a no crank no start! Excellent video and thank you very much.
Always good to know. Was hoping for a solenoid or starter fail test but always nice to know. Thanks!
So - my issue turned out to be not the battery, not the engine - but the sensor beneath my seat (an auto shut off if the lawn mower thinks it is in gear). It got loosened evidently when i adjusted from my wife's setting to my own. Once i firmly pressed it back in -- mower started right back up!
Cool. Glad you got it all sorted out. Thanks for the update.
Thank you for being a good example for us to emulate. "Go for the simplest explanation first." I was thinkingn I needed to replace the starter, but now I'm going to check the rest of the machine, especially the peripheral electrical system with my voltage meter. I noticed something that seems to be coming from the starter that has a box on the end that connects to "NOTHING?" and has two slots at a 90 degree angle, forming a "T"... do you or does anyone else here know what that is for and what it is supposed to connect to?
I have worked on machines , cars mostly , and had blown fuses that I never could find a reason for. Replaced the fused and the new one wouldn't blow. Ask the owner if they would let me know if the issue came up again and never did. Sometimes a blown fuse could be the only problem I guess. Maybe a manufacturing issue of sorts? But you did well finding this mowers issue. Aside from using shrink tube to help in both insulating the new connection and supporting it as well that fix was like I'd do and should last years and years. Excellent work.
Thank you, sir, for the info and kind words! I appreciate it!
Or it just doesnt touch bare wires again out of luck or a jiggle.
Cranked good yesterday. Ran out of gas. Put gas in mower but it wouldn't start again. Battery is new
Same thing happened to me yesterday. Ran out of gas, and now when I turn the key the lights go on but not a noise from the starter.
Nice fix, thanks for the vid, 👍👍
Thank you
This worked like a charm 👍
Awesome! Thank you for watching and commenting.
A Voltage test and getting 12V does not ALWAYS mean the battery is good. AMPS are what does the work and you need another Battery or Battery Tester to be sure.
Good catch. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
thanks Buck - same issue. fixed
I have a d105 and we constantly have to jump it it's very frustrating
Should have used shrink wrap. It’s much better that black electrical tape.
We have the same mower, but doesn't start. We change the battery, all 3 filters, spart plug, and it still doesn't turn on and check the fuze it looks fine.
I wish I could be on site to help you out. Hard to do so remotely. When you turn the key what happens? Does the starter motor engage to spin the engine, that is, crank? Or not? If not, do you hear a "click" sound at all from the starter solenoid when you turn the key?
Hi Buck, I hit rock or something with my JD D130 and the mower and stopped and I’m getting zero when I turn key. Batteries fine, fuse is fine, gas is in there. No leaks. Any ideas?
Does the engine crank/spin when you turn the key, but just doesn't start? Is that what you're saying?
Hey i have a d 170 you have to take air filter and hold your hand over air intake and it cranks then remove hand when it fires from it to run. Any idea.
Sounds like the choke mechanism is not working correctly, or choke plate does not close fully. With your hand over the intake you're essentially choking the engine manually. Verify that when you move the throttle lever to the choke position that the choke plate on the carburetor closes fully. If not, adjust it so that it does. Good luck.
I've got an old Murray where the headlight wires came off as the front headlight was missing so there was only the ground wire and the power wire from the ignition and they were floating around in the engine bay. We did cap them off so they're not grounding out to anything, but there's still not even a click. Any thoughts? Just put in a new solenoid, 4 post
Does the electrical system have a fuse? If so, check it. Next I would test for 12 volts on the small terminal of the solenoid when the key is turned all the way to the "start" position. This would be the wire coming from the key switch to the solenoid. If there is no voltage there when the key is turned to the "start" position, then you'll have to work backwards to find out where the problem is. It could be safety switches, or the key switch itself. I assume you've checked the battery for voltage, have it hooked up correctly, and with good connection at positive and negative terminals. Good luck.
@@Buckwsr did replace the fuse with another 15 amp fuse. It's weird because the mower was working a few weeks ago my son turned off and now there's no click. We have a good battery. It seems like the terminals are loose on the fuse connector so maybe I should replace that but not sure how to test that. Thanks for responding, I subscribed! Much appreciated.
My son's tired of watching mower and solenoid videos but I figure a few dollars in parts and time is cheaper than a $3,000 riding mower.
@@DefensorFortis ok. Do the test that i mentioned previously. See if you can get a wiring diagram for your mower. That would help, I think.
Somebody jump started that mower with a running car. Will blow that fuse every time and probably fry the stator too?
Did you watch the video? The blown fuse was caused by wires shorting out after melting on the hot muffler. There was no jump starting....
Awesome job! Hope that's my problem too! Thanks
Just recharged my John Deere mower. Now cranks, but won't start. After watching your video wonder if it is a blown fuse .
If not, could it be a bad spark plug? Trying to fix the problem myself without calling for neighbor's help.
Thanks
If the starter mower is turning the engine (that is, cranking), then I'm sure it's not a blown fuse. A spark plug can go bad, but that is seldom the reason for a no-start situation. Give me some more details on what model John Deere you have, and what engine is in it. That might enable me to give you some more things to check.
Maybe 370 hours on the clock, not 37?
IS that the one that have the plastic transmission.
No. That plastic transmission is in a small Craftsman tractor I have. This JD belongs to someone else who called on me for a little help. Thanks for watching!
I'm surprised to see that those wires melted even though they were heavily insulated. That is crazy. 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤷🏿♂️
Well, those mufflers get pretty darn hot....
@@Buckwsr if those mufflers are getting hot to the point that they are causing wires to melt, that is a design flaw and it needs to be addressed. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤷🏿♂️
junky briggs engine
Just as good or better than a Kohler.
