- Always Clean Under Deck When Spinach Clump Builds Up (( NEVER LEAVE IT THERE )) The Fastest Way To Destroy Any John Deere Aluminum Deck Is To Leave The Wet Spinach Under The Deck The John Deere 14SB lawnmower is another quality, classic piece of machinery from the crew at John Deere. This walk behind, 5 speed, self propelled mower has long since finished it’s production run but is still quite a sought after piece by JD enthusiasts.
It is powered by an FC150 Kawasaki engine, that pumps out 5hp, which is really quite a lot of power for such small lawn mower. Perhaps John Deere made a mistake when they were creating this model and gave it an engine that was far more powerful than needed. The upside to this however is that you can easily take on long wet grass without having to worry that the engine is going to cut out even when you are mulching the grass. It also has the advantage of being able to also take a bagger.
The John Deere 14SB has a 21 inch mower deck, which is pretty standard for a walk behind, self propelled lawnmower. While many people remark on the longevity and strength of this model, the only real downside to it is that it weighs quite a bit. But this is due in large part to it’s engine. The great thing about this model though, like all John Deere models is that even though it may have been over 10 years since one has been produced, there are still replacement parts available for it from John Deere.
Some feel that it’s the reliability of the Kawasaki engine that makes this model so great, while others feel that it’s the John Deere parts that make up the rest of the lawn mower that make it so good. The jury is still out. If you own a 14 SB or have ever used one, please leave your thoughts on it in the review section below.
Tony, I replaced the belt on my silver deck, with the guidance of one of your videos….to get the blade brake clutch back on the shaft with the key aligned…, deck on its side and upper engine bolts removed, I could peek between the engine and deck and guide the BBC into place…pulling the engine toward me gave the BBC a straight shot to the shaft….couldn’t have done it without your vid!!!!
I appreciate your kind words Glade it worked out for you 👍
I was recently given a free JX75, the green deck, that wouldn’t run like a deer. It has the same hole, but I assumed it was simply a drain hole so water wouldn’t pool on the deck if left in the rain, or so it could drain the deck after cleaning. After cleaning the carb it fired up on the first pull. New plug and an oil change and this old school JD push mower is ready for the new season. Thank you for this insight.
You are very welcome also your JX75 is a great mower you would really enjoy mowing the lawn.Thanks for swinging by Be blessed 👍
Hello are you the same channel that used to be Archie Bunker for President?
I have a 14sb (5hp) and 14sb tricycle (5.5hp) is is hp the only difference
I just picked up a 14SE silver deck. Kawasaki engine. Mine says 4.5hp on it and it's rwd with blade clutch. Missing the battery compartment cover sadly. I do want to get a mulching plug for mine tho.
Flea Bay AKA ----> Ebay 🤣. I always liked the 14SE But the only flaw for me is it does not have a 12v charge stater recoil to keep the battery charged while mowing You always have to plug it into a wall socket to keep the battery charged That is the only flaw . If it charged the battery while mowing I would have bin owned a 14SE 😢
@@TonysLawnCare215 I'm honestly going to be removing the battery and all the wires for it besides the starter on it. I have no use for a key switch lol. Unless I try using a dewalt battery to start it 🤔🤔
