My John deere d140 lawn tractor runs fine and the pto engages fine but it will not move when I step on the pedal. Why doesn't the transmission engage?

There's a transmission disengagement lever at the rear of the tractor over the axle. This lever is pulled out to disengage the transmission in order to move/tow the tractor if the engine isn't running. If the lever has been pulled out, the hydrostatic transmission will not operate. Locate the lever and try to push it in. If the lever is pushed in, the transmission is now engaged, and the foot pedals should activate the transmission forward and reverse.

The drive belt may be broken, or it may have slipped off a pulley.

SOURCE: john deere 2010 tractor. pto grinds and wont engage

The PTO usually has a clutch that has to be engaged so that you can select the PTO rotation setting. I had a problem like that on my tractor and all it needed was a little adjustment on the PTO clutch lever, so it could disengage the PTO gearbox properly.

SOURCE: Fuse blows when engage blade

The electro-magnetic coil side of your PTO is shorted out.On the 318 it is very easy to replace,just under front screen.

SOURCE: problem with John Deere L120 tractor

Park brake switch is the most likely culprit,any other would cause the tractor to not turn over in the crank position.

John Deere D140 PTO clutch tries to engage but fails. Why?

Try the following test. For safety purposes remove spark plugs. Now with engine off and key in run position turn PTO on. You should hear the clutch engage (clunk). Grab both sides of the clutch pulley and try to rotate the pulley. If the clutch is properly engaged you will not be able to rotate the clutch pulley without turning the engine.

GOOD MORNING, I HAVE A D140 JOHN DEERE LAWN MOW,IT RUN WELL WHEN NOT MOWING BUT WHEN ENGAGED IT SLOW DOWN AS THOUGH IT HAS TO CATCH IT'S BREATH LESS THAN THREE YEARS OLD

Make sure there isn't anything binding the deck belt or blades. Check the spindles for free movenent. If all that is good then it might be the linkage that is supposed to adjust the throttle when the engine is under load or it might be a carb issue...especially if you run ethanol gas in it.

D140 Belt won't engage. Replaced Switch. Still doesn't work. Any Suggestions?

does it have electric PTO ? if it does then you should be able to hear it click with ignition on and engaging pto switch if it does not then you have to look for a bad safety switch located under seat and brake pedal try unplugging pto clutch and putting 12 volts dc to one wire and grounding the other wire if it clicks its ok if it does not then safety switches are the probable cause witch is causing an open circuit.

X595 john deere pto wont kick in

These John Deere Garden Tractors have a RIO (Reverse Implement Option) on the PTO. If your PTO is engaged and you back up, the PTO will automatically stop. To reset it, depress your PTO engagement switch to the OFF position. Take your foot off the reverse pedal. Pull up on the PTO engagement switch. The PTO should restart. To use the RIO feature, pull up on the PTO switch for a second or two just before you step on the reverse hydrostatic pedal. The yellow RIO indicator light should come on your dashboard and you can now back up with the PTO still running. Works great for snow blowing when I don't want to keep resetting my electric PTO clutch to keep restarting my snow blower.

If your PTO will not restart, you may have a PTO switch starting to fail, or a likely logic problem in your electric PTO control module, or one of your forward/reverse indicator switches, which is linked to your PTO control module along with the overtemp circuit, is stuck/faulty.
