We have a John Deere Lawn Mower model number L118 42" deck. It is cutting unevenly on one side. The blade on the right side cuts fine but the blade on the left scalps on the left side and leaves a long rough cut on the right of the blade or in the center of the mowing path. We put on new blades, but that didn't help. The blades look even. What else could be wrong?
Easy, either the deck is not level, or the spindle on the left side is worn out. To level the deck, check the tire pressure, 14psi r, 10 psi f, there are two leveling bolts that attach the deck to the lift. On a level surface, set the mower to the correct cutting height and then using a tape measure, check the height of the blade tips with the blades perpendicular to the mower. Turn the nuts on the leveling bolts to level the mower deck. Also check that the front-rear leveling is correct. The rear of the deck should be 3/4'' to 1'' higher than the front. Use the deck leveling bolts and the front hanger.
If the spindle is worn out, there should be a distinct scraping sound when you run the mower.
Take the mower to your local John Deere dealer and they will be able to fix the problem.

1: check and see if there is a diagram on the deck.
2: Check on the back of your new belts sleeve
3: Call the nearest John Deere dealer or the John Deere 800 #

I cannot find an adjustment screw on my Kawasaki 12.5 hp engine and it only runs well on full choke and when you idle it down it surges and runs poor. Any ideas?
Trouble shoot from simple to complex first. 1)make sure that you have a clean air filter,2)enpty float bowl(bottom of carb, if water is in there it won't let gas flow right.) 3)check to make sure that spring return for carb/choke is working.
I have been working on small engines for years and I find that taking the steps outlined will fix 90% of problems. Good luck.
I am a female and I inherited a John Deere SRX75 lawn mower and would like to sell it but I don't know anything about it. Can anyone help me out on this. Thanks so much!
