john deere gt245

In the midst of cutting and the electric clutch flew off. The bolt is broke in the output shaft. I tried drilling with reverse bit but no luck. The bolt must be strong. Any ideas? Almost to the point of removing motor and do it from a bench instead of under mower.

Hi all. I just rebuilt the carb of my gt245, took deck off for service and when I ran it to test the carb (no deck) there is an occasional knock and it is hard to determine where it is coming from. It didn't do it before and I am wondering without any tension from the mowing belt that maybe...

When I start my J/D GT245 the the mower blades under the deck start operating. They continue to run weather the PTO switch is on or off. I was mowing a couple of days ago, went to cut the PTO off and the mower blades continued to run. Before that everything ran normal. Any help in solving this...

Anyone have a diagram on how to assemble the clutch on a GT 245 lawn tractor? The bolt came off mine lastnight and now it is laying there...help

My JD riding mower has steadily declined the last couple of years to where it barely runs. It will start and run but wants to "choke" out, acting like it isn't getting gas, then in a minute, start running ok again, and repeats this until you don't think it's not going to run at all. I'm not the...

My GT245 just died in the middle of mowing the lawn. It was running perfect, and then died cold. I'm not too technical, but it seems to me that it must be an electrical problem because the tractor is electrically dead. The hour meter doesn't show any data, and nothing happens regardless of the...

What else can I check to increase the road speed of my GT245? The belts are good and not sliping, the forward pedal moves all the way to the stopper. Can the trans oil be old? Thanks Denni

I am considering buying a used 2004 Model GT245 with a 48" deck. The owner posts that it has 120 hours, well-maintained, and excellent condition. I plan on checking it out and giving it a test. Before, I do that, I am looking for your thoughts. I have about an acre of grass on my 1.5 + lot...

I just changed oil in my Kioti CK25 and used the Rotella synthetic for the first time. I was impressed with the immediate difference in the ease with which it turned over, with temps in the 20's, compared to the standard Rotella 15W-40. So since I bought 2 gallons and have a couple quarts left...

I'm purchasing a 2005 GT245 w/ 48" deck that I intend to also buy a snow blower/thrower for and I'd like opinions on which type of weights to get for it. I've used the bolt on wheel weights and generally just keep them on all the time for traction and a better ride. This machine has an...

I'm just about to buy a GT245 with a 54" deck which might be slightly more than I need for my 3.5 acres, but I'm happy with that. I have not read too many comments on the model and maybe that is a good indication, however before I part with my $$$$$, has anyone got a comment on it?

I have an opportunity to buy a GT245, 2002 yr, 61hrs. Has 20 HP Kawasaki, 54" cut. Condition is supposed to be excellent, haven't seen it. Has bar tires on rear. How would they perform on a lawn? MSRP is $5999. Can be bought for $3700, probably less. What are your opinions of the mower in...
