FAQs

What type of fuel should I use for my John Deere D170 lawnmower?

Your lawnmower is designed to run on regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Avoid using gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol as it may cause damage to the engine.

How short should I cut the grass?

When the grass is longer than 4.5cm, the grass should be cut. The ideal length is between 3 and 4.5cm.

Why is my John Deere D170 lawnmower leaving uneven stripes on the lawn?

Check the blades to ensure they are sharp and not dull or damaged. Also, check that the deck is properly leveled and adjusted. Avoid mowing too fast or overlapping the cutting paths excessively, as this can cause uneven stripes.

Why won't my John Deere D170 lawnmower start?

First, make sure the fuel tank has sufficient fuel and the fuel valve is turned on. Check the spark plug to ensure it is clean and properly gapped. Also, check the battery to ensure it is fully charged and securely connected.

How often should I change the oil in my John Deere D170 lawnmower?

I have no tension on my power bagger belt, and there is an extra spring from the previous owner. Unsure of its placement. The deck has tension, but not the belt connected to it.

Today, I received the S170 with the Quick Change oil system. Upon checking the oil, there was no oil present. I added a quart of 10W30, which now shows an overfull reading. I suspect the Quick Change system does not accommodate oils like the previous system. What should be my next course of action? Should I drain the oil? Can it be drained? Have I made a costly mistake by wasting an expensive filter? The manual does not provide information on how to resolve this issue.
