JD E110 eating deck belts

[38racing]

Maybe it is revision not listed on the IPL and may have to get a JD dealer involved.

If Serial numbers contains:

Model year
J = 2018, K = 2019, L = 2020

Which area it was for
A = Canada, C = California, E = 49 States and Australia

I'll check ser. Should be canada. His is a 2015 I think based on engine code.
Numbers of the original ones were
Gx22645, gx24908
I ordered the idler arm today.

Is there a way to edit the thread topic. I just realized it says e120. He has e110. I am looking up e110 for his parts.

Actually I just pulled up the e110 background and it appears to have started in 2018. I thought 2015 but I might have had a 5 in my head. 2018 would make it 5 years old. I'll recheck engine code. 5 years old seems right. I got his kubota t1400 and 5 years seems right for me using it.

I edited the original post and all previous posts will still have E120 but any entered after the edit will reflect E110. I just don't feel like editing all the posts subjects. Also if you quote a previous post you need the subject line to reflect the corrected model number.

In this case the decks are the same.

Attempting to download service manual. Currently getting "File not Found error code". Email sent to find out what the problem is. Once I get it I will file it on the Google Drive. Probably won't help in this case anyways.

The SM is now available for download for cleared forum members. File name: JD E100 - E180 Service Manual TM151119 21OCT19

I looked it over and it definitely has very limited info on decks.

So I changed his idler arm. The pivot hole was worn along with spring hole. Made no difference in engagement issue. Everything moves fine except when belt is in place. Brake moves off enough to disengage but only because most of brake is worn off. My sense is that if belt was slightly longer then lever would move farther but belt is oem and extremely loose when disengaged. I actually think the deck shifts forward a as it's lowered as brake moves slightly more off as deck lowered but I really don't like the' feel' when cutting below the halfway on lifter. It's complicated by fact there's play in right spindle and bearings didn't fix it.
