So, I got a good deal (well under a grand) on this nice low miles 2017 John Deere D105. She has a 17.5 B&S single cylinder OHV (my favorite riding mower engine), 42" cut, manual blade engagement (which I prefer) and push pedal transaxle with forward/neutral/reverse lever. Mowed with it today and I'm impressed. It's not going to replace my 1990 Murray that's still in service, but will definitely get some use with about 3 acres total I keep mowed.
So, what can you tell me about it? JD says it has an "automatic" transaxle, not hydrostatic. Is it a true automatic with a torque converter? Do these machines have any known trouble areas? The older and bigger members of the family eye it suspiciously from the shed!
