Thank so much for sharing that information. It’s 94 F , outside, and I found this video after 2 hours of trying to compress that spring. Saved me a heat stroke and my marriage.

I’m glad you showed how to compress the spring. Thumbs up

Thank you !!!!
I wish there was a way for me to make your video at the top of the list for this D105 !!!!
My JD ride on was never fast from day 1 about 11 years ago !!!
But it got worse. Barely crawled on flat ground !!! It would not even go up my driveway anymore !!! And !!! That’s after a new drive belt,  a new deck belt and a new manual PTO cable  !!
I believe all the new belts made it slower !!
Thank You !!! 2000 thumbs up sir !!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼

Thanks, for figuring out a way to compress the spring, every other video has you dropping transmission.  So much easier your way!, I'm back in operation.

Awesome idea and saves time. I just bought a new deck kit and transmission kit. Mine is about 7 years old and I want it like new. All new belts, pullies, variators, Safety switches, battery starter, the works. I would rather rebuild the one i have then spend 4k on a new one.

After 11 years it only has 150 hours on it and was garage kept…. !!
Thanks again 👍🏼👍🏼

Way to go, great video thank you.

Had a broken spring and no cap on my elderly friends jd.
Wouldn't have been able to install the new spring without your compression trick. Luckily  I have small hands, too😊. Fixed it while it was on the ground. Only busted 1 knuckle 😂. Thanks!

Very informative video. I'm going to check mine tomorrow. Thank you so much.

Thanks

That looks like the spring I found on the ground and the cup washer that goes over the top. I could not engage forward gear and seen the spring on the ground. I’m guessing  there is a nut over that , I can not find the nut but the cup washer was sitting on the yellow deck with part of the broken spring. I’ll need a nut and a new spring.
Thanks for showing this and hope it fixes my problem

Had my d105 for a a few months, bought second hand, and at first the accelerator pedal operated as it should, but with today max engine speed, idle wouldn’t move mower forward like usual and a full depress of the pedal yielded 1-2 mph only. I found the belt rubbing the spring as it was routed incorrectly making contact with it. I’m hoping that replacing this spring and the belt will fix my issue. Thanks for the video.

I just put new clutch belt on s240 jd rider must be the spring on it now it's hard get my lil hills on my property

My D105 selector switch is tough to get into reverse, but it will go in reverse and move but the selector switch will not go into forward and it does not move forward. What should I look at first? Thanks.

I cannot find that cap anywhere onling to compress my pulley

Do you have a part number for that spring? Thanks.

Is this the same issue for slow moving mower.

Is this the likely cause of it loosing moments on inclines even when pedal fully depressed

were you able to find just the spring? All I have found is the whole kit with the pulley. Do you have a link?

I guess you removed the deck  did you remove rear wheels ,  where did  you  put the jack stands?  That was a out standing repair
