My husband has been asked, by a friend, to rebuild his old JD265 engine. (Serial #M00265A161919) My husband does not do the computer so I get to spend my time looking for the specs for him, thus the odd name, Handigranny. He has the owners manual, but nothing showing specs or parts. He has no...

My father-in-law was mowing last week and his FC540V engine did the classic counterbalance "break and throw" about the worst I've ever seen.. It took off the entire front of the engine and even bent the shroud so some even larger parts could make it out ! I was out of the country working so he...

I have a 265 Deere garden tractor with the 46" deck. It has always cut shorter than I would like and with the dry weather we've been having it would be nice to cut a little higher. It seems like with the deck all the way up (in the transport lock even) it only cuts about 3" high. We used to have...

Just got done getting the 265 garden tractor repainted. Power washed the frame, scrubbed the floorboard mats, fuel tank, and tool box. Replaced the fuel line since it was stiff and brittle. Now I'll have to do something with the mower deck.

I am having a difficult time coming up with an asking price for a tractor and equipment package for my JD 265. This thing runs like a tank, starts up first time winter or summer and does whatever I ask it to. I really don't want to get rid of it, but my yard etc. doesn't need all the things I...

Folks, i have a 1994 (i think) John Deere 265 thats experiencing a rough idle. I'm trying to upload a video to youtube so you can hear and see it, but here's what its doing: some kind of wierd issue with the idle. I changed the battery a few months ago in preparation for winter (plowing and...

Why is my lawn tractor so hard to start?

Anyone know what a 265 with a 48" deck and rear dual bagger would sell for? It was given to me and is in great shape, no wear anywhere and clean as a can be. Starts right up and runs great, burns no oil, I only mowed with it 3-4 times last fall.I don't really need it and was thinking of selling.

My JD 265 has 640 hours on its Kawasaki 17HP single cylinder engine. Knock on wood, it runs like a Swiss watch. Does anyone have experience as to the longevity of this engine when properly maintained? When should I anticipate a rebuild?

I have recently come to grief with my '94 JD 265. It is a L&G tractor with a Kawasaki 17HP engine and HST. The engine has about 375 hours. The motor runs great but the transmission is rather spongy. The forward and reverse velocity has diminished about 30%. I am able to spin the rear wheels...
