The 42-in. (107-cm) Accel Deep mower deck is a stamped-steel, deep, flat-top design that delivers excellent cut quality, productivity, cleanliness, durability, and versatility. Optimal performance and dispersion of clippings is provided, even at faster mowing speeds:
- 4.97-in. (12.6-cm) depth throughout the entire deck shell for optimum mowing, mulching, and bagging performance
- Optional lever-action or electric one-touch MulchControl attachment for superior mulching performance and versatility
- Stamped-steel design eliminates sharp edges and corners where material can build up and diminish mowing performance
- Mower deck suspended from the vehicle for a smooth and level cut
- Adjustable mower wheels, positioned just above ground level, for reduced scalping
Excellent cut quality
Deep mower-deck stamping gives excellent cut quality. It allows the cut and suspended material room to exit the deck without getting recut:
- Reducing the amount of re-cutting enables more power to be used to cut incoming grass, which greatly improves mower capacity.
- Helps maintain excellent cut quality at faster mowing speeds
- Clean flow of material out of discharge area prevents cut material from interfering with cutting the incoming grass, making it possible for the blades to cut incoming material cleanly.
- Even in mulching mode, cut evenness is improved compared to other designs because the additional depth allows for continuous circulation, optimal re-cutting, and an even distribution of clippings.
Productivity - gets the job done fast
Deep mower-deck stamping gives high productivity, which gets the job done fast. It allows the cut and suspended material room to exit the deck quickly, reducing the amount of re-cutting so more power is available to process incoming grass:
- Greatly improves mowers capacity to maintain excellent mowing performance in difficult mowing conditions and at higher speeds
Large discharge opening is both high and wide to handle more material:
- Gives a smooth, even discharge of clippings at all mowing speeds
- Reduces the chance of plugging, especially important when operating in wet, thick, or dense grass and when bagging
- Cut-and-throw chute has a large, optimized inlet which aids in collecting material by using airflow from the large deck opening
Cleanliness - for the mower and the operator
The flat-top shape of the deck stamping is optimal for keeping itself and the operator clean:
- There are few places to catch and hold material on top and underneath the deck.
- Top of deck stays cleaner, reducing time and effort needed for cleaning and service
- Underside of deck is self-cleaning to maintain optimum performance without buildup of material to interfere with the flow of air and clippings
- Less need to clean and remove buildup of material from underside deck
- The depth of the Accel Deep mower deck minimizes the amount of material that escapes from the front of the deck
- Limited amount of material to drift onto the operator and mower deck
- Even flow of material discharged out the chute, less re-cutting results in larger pieces that are less likely to end up on the operator
- Mulching prevents the discharge of material completely and a MulchControl attachment makes mulching a practical solution for most mowing situations.
Cleaning a mower deck, both top and bottom, is one of the most frequent maintenance activities:
- The flat-top design reduces places for material to build up and makes material that does collect easy to remove.
A wash port is provided to make cleaning the underside of the mower deck easy.
- Hose connector is included with the mower deck.
- With the lever-action MulchControl attachment, the MulchControl handle on top of the mower deck is used to engage or disengage mulch mode.
- The operator is required to get off of the tractor in order to engage or disengage mulch mode with the lever-action system.
- With an electric one-touch MulchControl attachment, an electric switch on the tractor dash is used to engage or disengage mulch mode.
- Changing from mulching to side discharging or vice versa takes only a few seconds.
MulchControl is well-suited to the following mowing situations:
- Usually mulch, but side discharge when grass gets too long
- Usually side-discharge, but would like to be able to close the chute to control clippings
- Always mulch a main lawn, but often side discharge secondary lawns
- Bag clippings, but want to go farther before emptying bags
Superior durability is designed in
The 42A mower deck has strong spindle pockets, to keep the blades aligned, even after years of tough service:
- Ribs in the deck shell add strength where it is needed.
- The 42A has a 16 percent heavier overall weight than the Edge™ Xtra 42-in. (107-cm) mower deck.
Mower wheels are double-captured:
- Provides greater strength and durability for longer, trouble-free life.
- Single-bolt adjustment makes setting wheels to the correct height for the cutting height quick and easy.
Low-tension belt-drive design reduces the side load on the engines lower bearing and mower deck bearings for longer life.
Rolled outer edge of the deck provides extra strength and protection.
Dual-stage E-coat and powder-paint coatings provide extra protection from rust.
Versatility - easy to change between side discharge, mulch, and bagging modes
The 42A Mower Deck is designed for excellent versatility:
- The mower's cut-and-throw design allows bagging with just the addition of the bagger chute, once the special bagging blades have been installed.
- The 42A cut-and-throw chute is easy to install and securely held in place at the front and rear to provide a tight seal between the mower deck and the chute.
- The rear latch is adjustable to allow for the optimum setting for easy use and a tight seal.
- The bagging blades can be used for side discharging also.
- The 42A cut-and-throw chute is easy to install and securely held in place at the front and rear to provide a tight seal between the mower deck and the chute.
- With an optional lever action or electric one-touch MulchControl attachment installed (along with the special mulching blades), changing from side-discharging to mulching or vice versa is done with the simple flip of a lever or touch of a switch.
- The rear bagger can be used with the MulchControl blades installed.
- The front baffle, either the one included with the rear bagger chute or the one included with MulchControl (B), can remain in place for side discharging.
- For ultimate side-discharge performance this baffle can be removed.
- An optional MulchControl attachment includes a rear MulchControl baffle (A), held in place by two carriage bolts, at the rear edge of the discharge opening. This baffle:
- Must be removed for installation of the rear bagger chute, a 13-mm (0.51-in.) wrench is required (the bagger chute cannot be installed without removing this baffle)
- Can remain removed for side discharging material
- Must be re-installed for mulching
MulchControl lever action or electric one-touch options
A MulchControl attachment for the 42A Mower Deck makes mulching more practical for many mowing situations because it not only does an excellent job of mulching but it also allows the mower to be easily converted for times when it is more desirable to side discharge the lawn material. Advantages of mulching grass clippings include:
- A beautiful looking lawn
- Grass clippings not blown onto the operator, driveways, or flower beds
- Less fertilizer use
- Elimination of the effort needed to dispose of clippings
How MulchControl works
MulchControl is an innovative, simple design that is easy to use and maintain:
- The MulchControl attachment includes baffles to control the flow of material under the deck.
- When the MulchControl baffle is open, most of the material passes through the discharge opening.
- When the MulchControl baffle is closed, the material stays within the deck and gets chopped into mulch and deposited in the turf.
MulchControl limitations
While in the side-discharge mode, MulchControl will still mulch about one third of the material. Therefore, the side-discharge mode is essentially a partial-mulch mode. This can be an advantage when side discharging or bagging, as it helps to reduce the amount of material being discharged. Other times this could work as a disadvantage:
- When cutting strong southern grasses, such as Zoysia and Bermuda
- When cutting in wet, high-growth conditions, such as those found in the Pacific Northwest United States
- When optimum bagging and lawn clean-up is desired
- 42A Mower Deck requires a MulchControl baffle be removed to install the bagger chute; see explanation in the Versatility section for more information
Mower blades
High-lift bagging blades are included with the bagger chute. They provide optimum performance when bagging in difficult conditions, such as when the grass is moist, dense, or long:
- High-lift bagging blades also work well when side discharging material.
Mulching blades are included with the MulchControl attachment. They can be used for mulching, side discharging, and bagging in most conditions.

MulchControl advantages and benefits
MulchControl enhances versatility and productivity. A mower deck equipped with MulchControl not only does an excellent job of mowing and mulching, but it can also be quickly converted from side discharging to mulching or vice versa:
- In mulch mode, it controls clippings dispersion in unwanted areas (driveways, landscape beds, near buildings, windows, parking lots, etc.).
- Reduces cleanup time needed to dispose of clippings.
- Reduces the amount of material entering a material collection system because, even in the side discharge mode, MulchControl will mulch about one third of the material due to the additional baffles under the mower deck and the unique design of the mulching blades.
Electric MulchControl has the additional advantage of being controlled from the tractor seat by a switch on the dash to operate an electric actuator that moves the baffle to close off the discharge area of the mower deck.
- Operators can convert between modes without interrupting the mowing process, making it practical to change between modes as conditions require.
- When approaching clean areas like driveways or flowerbeds where clippings would be undesirable
- When a breeze might blow clippings back onto the operator
- For side discharge mowing only the areas of the property where grass is too thick for mulching
- With 48A and 54A Mower Decks, for collecting only the areas of the property where grass is too tall or thick for mulching
- With 48A and 54A Mower Decks, the MulchControl baffle can be opened or closed with the Power Flow™ blower installed. The Power Flow blower will run without material when the baffle is closed.
- Models equipped with a 42A Mower Deck require a MulchControl baffle be removed to install the bagger chute; see 42A Mower Deck versatility explanation for more information.
- Changing from one mode to the other takes only a few seconds.
How MulchControl works
A mower equipped with a MulchControl attachment delivers unprecedented levels of productivity and versatility. The operator has the ability to quickly change between side discharging and mulching. A heavy-duty baffle opens and closes to convert the mower from side discharge mode to mulch mode or vice versa.
MulchControl is an innovative, simple design that is easy to use and maintain:
- The MulchControl attachment includes baffles to control the flow of material under the deck.
- When the MulchControl baffle is open, most of the material flows freely out the discharge deflector or into a material collection system.
- When the MulchControl baffle is closed, material stays within the deck and gets chopped into mulch and deposited in the turf.
MulchControl is well-suited to the following mowing situations:
- For operators who usually mulch, but side discharge when grass gets too long
- For operators who usually side discharge, but would like to be able to close the chute to control clippings in some areas
- For operators who always mulch a main lawn, but often side discharge secondary lawns
- For operators who collect clippings, but want to go farther before emptying the material collection system
MulchControl puts the operator in control of the clippings. The operator can have all the benefits of mulching with the ability to easily change to side discharging when desired.
Advantages of MulchControl include:
- Performance is improved.
- Mulching is beneficial because it returns the clippings to the ground as fertilizer, which promotes lawn growth.
- Clippings are much smaller, which allows them to fall into the grass and be removed from view.
- Unsightly grass clippings are not blown onto driveways or into flower beds.
- Fertilizer use is reduced and provides associated environmental benefits.
- Uptime is increased.
- Operators can convert quickly between modes, making it possible to change between mulching and side discharging as conditions require.
- Mulching heavy, thick material can significantly reduce mower productivity. The ability to switch from mulch to side discharge mode ensures productivity, especially in grass too tall or thick to mulch effectively.
- Cost of operation is reduced.
- Controlling clipping dispersion reduces cleanup time.
MulchControl limitations
While in the side discharge mode, MulchControl will still mulch about one third of the material. Therefore, the side discharge mode is essentially a partial mulch mode. This can be an advantage when side discharging or bagging, as it helps to reduce the amount of material being discharged. Other times this could work as a disadvantage:
- When cutting strong southern grasses, such as Zoysia and Bermuda
- When cutting in wet, high growth conditions, such as those found in the Pacific Northwest United States
- When optimum bagging and lawn cleanup is desired
- 42A Mower Deck requires a MulchControl baffle be removed to install the bagger chute

- Provides storage location for Exact Adjust tool and deck-leveling gauge (tool and depth-leveling gauge not shown in photo)
Cup holder
A cup holder and tool tray are located on the fender for operator convenience:
- The cup holder holds a variety of container sizes.
- Tool tray provides convenient storage.
- Cup holder and tool tray are constructed of durable acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic.
Removable plug for optional 12-V outlet
A removable plug on the console, in front of the operator, provides a convenient location for the optional 12-V outlet and makes installation easy.
- Convenient for plugging in cell phone charger and other electric devices
- Can be used to operate electric rear equipment, such as a sprayer or spreader
12-V fast connector
A mid-vehicle, 12-V fast connector, located under the tractor’s fuse box, is included as standard equipment to reduce initial installation time for some attachments that operate on 12-V power from the tractor:
- The four-cavity connector includes battery, ground, and key switch terminals and is turned on and off with the ignition switch.
The one-piece hood opens easily to permit checking and servicing the engine:
- Important service points are located within easy reach.
- A service-interval decal is provided inside the tractor hood for convenience when servicing the tractor.
- The high-quality engine used in the X300 Series does not require an 8-hour oil and filter change because improvements in the manufacturing process and quality of parts, components, and oils have eliminated the need for the short interval oil change requirement.
The engine fuel and oil filters, the oil check/fill tube, and the oil drain tube are exposed for serviceability when the hood is opened.
Exact Adjust ports and onboard deck-leveling tools make precise deck adjustments easy
A mower deck must be level side-to-side and properly adjusted front-to-rear to give the best cutting performance. A removable onboard deck-leveling gauge and a hex-key tool are provided to make adjustment easy. They are securely stored under the tractor seat.
Exact Adjust leveling ports are provided on each side of the operator platform above the mower-level adjusting bolts. With the hex-shaped tool, they provide convenient access to allow quick and easy adjustment of the mower for the best-cut quality of cut.
The Exact Adjust feature is standard on all Select Series™ X300 and X500 Tractors:
- There is no need to reach under the fender deck while making the mower-level adjustment.
- Onboard deck-leveling gauge, Exact Adjust ports, and the hex tool work together.
- Level the mower deck side to side
- Set the correct amount of rake (front-to-back deck orientation)
- Calibrate the cutting height to the cut-height adjusting knob setting
- Exact Adjust simplifies leveling the mower deck if equipped with a Power Flow™ blower.
- To give the best cut, mower level should be adjusted if alternately mowing with and without blower installed. The Exact Adjust feature makes this easy.
Consult the operator's manual for the correct adjusting procedures for each tractor model. Basic adjusting steps to properly level the mower deck include:
- Park the tractor on a level surface.
- Inflate tires to the correct pressure.
- Consult the label for the cutting-height knob that is located on the console of the machine. This label shows deck-leveling position and location of deck-leveling adjustment points.
- Set mower cutting-height knob to the correct deck-leveling position.
- For X300 models, use position 2.75
- For all other models, use position 2.5
- Adjust mower wheels as necessary so they do not contact the ground surface.
- Remove the onboard deck-leveling gauge that is located under the seat.
- Using the Exact Adjust ports and tool, adjust mower deck side-to-side level so the deck-leveling gauge just slips under the left and right lower deck rim at the designated adjustment points. The location of adjustment points will vary slightly between decks.
- Left- and right-rear adjustment points are under the deck rim near the rear mower wheels, if equipped.
- Adjust mower deck front-to-back level, if necessary.
- Loosen rear nuts equally on each side of front lift rod.
- Turn front nut equally on each side clockwise to raise front of mower or counterclockwise to lower it until gauge just slips under the front adjustment point.
- Tighten rear nuts after adjustment is complete.
- Return the gauge to its storage position.
NOTE: The adjusting tool supplied with the tractor is an 8-mm ball-hex key, part number M162737. The rounded end allows for some misalignment with the bolt as the deck is adjusted.
Keep a John Deere riding lawn mower running its best and know how it mows with the John Deere MowerPlus app. Simply scan the lawn tractor’s barcode to get custom information. The app helps determine the best time to mow, communicates expert pre-mow tips, offers maintenance reminders, and provides walk-through guides.
Look for the MowerPlus app on the mobile device’s app store.
The app supports residential lawn equipment such as 100 Series, S240, X300, X500, X700, Z200 through Z600, and many similarly-sized older products. It does not presently support tractor models numbered 1000 and larger, such as 1025R.
NOTE: Some product image variation may exist.
Also available is the John Deere MowerPlus smart connector (sold separately).
The John Deere MowerPlus smart connector wirelessly links a Select Series™ X300 or X500 Tractor to the MowerPlus app on a mobile device. The smart connector transmits engine usage to the app, making it easy to track maintenance intervals. It also transmits the fuel level to the app—when thinking ahead about Saturday morning mowing, the operator can make sure the tractor is fueled and ready to go.

Accessories and Attachments
Carts
Every owner of a John riding lawn and garden product is a potential customer for a high-quality, affordable utility cart. Utility carts can be used to haul a variety of materials including firewood, lawn debris, sand, dirt, mulch, garden tools, plants, and bushes.
Utility carts are designed, painted, and decaled to be compatible with other John Deere equipment.
NOTE: For proper braking and operation, the loaded weight of the cart should never exceed the weight of the tractor, or other towing unit, plus the operator. The loaded weight of any equipment towed by an EZtrak™ or ZTrak™ mower should not exceed 250 lb (113.4 kg). See the appropriate vehicle pages for the weight of the vehicle and the mower deck.
- The cart has a premium molded, high-density polyethylene box construction.
- Compression molding process allows polyethylene to be the optimum thickness in all areas for superior strength and durability.
- Polyethylene body will not rust or dent; it stays looking new longer.
- 0.75-in. (2-cm) x 2-in. (5-cm) stake pockets are molded in to make the addition of side extensions easy.
- Two vertical 0.75-in. (2-cm) molded channels on each side allow easy use of dividers to separate the box into two or three compartments.
- Ribs in the box bottom add strength and prevent the shovel from hitting bolts when emptying the cart.
- Sloped tailgate design makes emptying the box easier; there is no tailgate to loosen or remove.
- Styling is compatible with other John Deere equipment.
- Pneumatic tires provide turf tread for good flotation, shock absorption, and minimal rolling resistance.
Wheels
Wheels are mounted on a solid, one-piece axle for durability.
Iron and Oilite® wheel bearings with grease fittings provide lubrication for long life.
The pneumatic tires offer the following:
- Good flotation
- Minimal rolling resistance
- Shock absorption
Sloped tailgate
A sloped tailgate design makes emptying the box easier; there is no tailgate to loosen or remove.
Tractor hitch
A large-diameter hitch pin provides plenty of strength:
- Fast, easy attachment to the tractor hitch
- Spring pin to ensure the pin stays in place
Tilt latch
An easy-to-use, spring-loaded dump latch allows tilting the box for easier unloading. A steep dump angle makes emptying the cart easier.

10P Utility Cart
Order number: LPPCT10JD
Oilite is a trademark of Beemer Precision, Incorporated.
Every owner of a John Deere riding lawn and garden product is a potential customer for a high-quality, affordable utility cart. Utility carts can be used to haul a variety of materials, including firewood, lawn debris, dirt, sand, mulch, garden tools, plants, and bushes.
Utility carts are designed, painted, and decaled to be compatible with other John Deere equipment.
For proper braking and operation, the loaded weight of the cart should never exceed the weight of the tractor, or other towing unit, plus the operator. See the appropriate vehicle pages for the weight of the vehicle and the mower deck.
Welded box construction provides maximum reliability:
- Requires less setup time than the bolted construction.
- Box sides and bottom are one piece and have rounded corners and no hardware for easy cleaning.
Wheels and tires
Wheels are mounted on a solid, one-piece axle for durability.
Iron/Oilite® wheel bearings with grease fittings provide lubrication for long life.
Pneumatic tires offer:
- Good flotation
- Minimal rolling resistance
- Shock absorption
Turf-tread tires are used on the 13 Utility Cart.
Deluxe tailgate is hinged for easy emptying and can also be quickly removed without the use of tools.
Easy hookup and tilt-dump latch
A large-diameter hitch pin provides plenty of strength:
- Fast, easy attachment to the tractor hitch
- Spring pin to ensure the pin stays in place
The easy-to-use latch allows tilting the bed for easier unloading:
- Steep dump angle makes emptying easier.

Mcs Chutes
The rear bagger chute for the 42-in. (107-cm) Accel Deep™ Mower Deck (42A) is required for use of the two-bag, 7-bu (247-L) rear bagger:
- The chute is a two-piece design to allow easy installation at the mower deck, without the rear of the chute being encumbered by the hopper.
- A convenient handle is included on the top section of the chute to make installation and removal easier.
- The top section of the chute slides into the flexible hose that is attached to the hopper and is held securely to the bottom section with an easy-to-use bungee cord.
- A fill indicator tells the operator when the bags are getting full.
The rear bagger chute attachment includes special bagging blades, a toe guard (A) with features for installing the bagger chute, and a front bagger baffle (B) to direct the material rearward into the bagger chute:
- The replacement toe guard is intended to remain on the mower deck and to be used for any mower application - bagging, side discharging, or mulching.
- A baffle to narrow the side-discharge opening (where the bagger chute is installed on the mower deck) and direct the material into the chute is provided with the rear bagger chute and needs to be bolted underneath the deck at the front.
- This baffle may remain in place when the bagger chute is removed for side discharging material, however for ultimate side-discharge performance it could be removed.
- This front baffle included with the bagger chute attachment is not required if the mower deck is equipped with the MulchControl™ attachment. The MulchControl front baffle can remain with the gate open for bagging and serves the same purpose.
Installing the chute is easy:
- First, slide the front mounting pin into the tube that is on the front end of the toe guard.
- Next, swing the chute toward the back and lock it in place at the rear.
The bagger chute is securely held in place at the front and rear to provide a tight seal between the mower deck and the chute.
The rear latch is adjustable to allow for the optimum setting for easy use and a tight seal.
When a mower deck is equipped with both the optional MulchControl attachment and a rear bagger
The operator's manuals provided with the rear bagger chute and the MulchControl attachment should be used as the primary guide, however these tips may be helpful to keep in mind:
- Both the rear bagger chute and the MulchControl attachment come with a baffle that bolts inside the mower deck along the front edge to narrow the discharge opening, which has been optimized for side discharging material, and direct the material into the bagger chute.
- If the mower deck is equipped with MulchControl, the front bagger baffle included with the bagger chute is not used.
- The front baffle, either the one included with the rear bagger chute or the one included with MulchControl (B), can remain in place for side discharging.
- For ultimate side-discharge performance this baffle can be removed.
- The optional MulchControl attachment includes a rear MulchControl baffle (A), held in by two carriage bolts, at the rear edge of the discharge opening. This baffle:
- Must be removed for installation of the rear bagger chute, a 13-mm (0.51-in.) wrench is required (the bagger chute cannot be installed without removing this baffle)
- Can remain removed for side discharging material
- Must be re-installed for mulching
Mower blades
High lift bagging blades are included with the chute. They provide optimum performance when bagging in difficult conditions, such as when the grass is moist, dense, or long:
- High-lift bagging blades also work well when side discharging material.
Mulching blades are included with the MulchControl attachment. They can be used for mulching, side discharging, and bagging in most conditions.

Mcs Hoppers
The 7-bu (247-L) hopper provides an efficient means of collecting grass clippings and leaves using either the cut-and-throw rear bagger or the Power Flow material collection system (MCS):
- 38-in. (97-cm) and 42-in. (107-cm) mower decks use the cut-and-throw system.
- 48-in. (122-cm) and 54-in. (137-cm) mower decks use the Power Flow system.
The hopper design provides modern styling, great bagging performance, cleaner operation, and easy-to-empty bags.
The 7-bu (247-L) MCS features:
- 7-bu (247-L) capacity
- Easy-to-attach lower chute (ordered separately)
- Handle on chute
- Air exhaust duct
- Convenient spring-latch
- Airflow fill indicator
- Quik-Tatch mounting
- Sealed hopper top
- Loose-knit bags available
A loose-knit bag is available as an option for use with 7-bu (247-L) cut-n-throw rear baggers and Power Flow™ baggers:
- Two loose-knit bags are required.
- The loose-knit bag allows more air to flow through and provide more complete bag filling in wet and heavy grass conditions.
Dump from the seat capability for X300 Series Tractors
The MCS 7 attachment is designed to provide dump from the seat grass collection/expulsion for John Deere X300 Series Tractors equipped with the 2-bag material collection system (MCS). The MCS attachment eliminates the need to get off of the tractor and empty the bags. As a result, it will increase both efficiency and cleanliness in the mowing process.
The aluminum body is lightweight and easy to handle. Conveniently located hand lever and smooth release and latching system are easily accessed from the tractor seat. Because it is engineered specifically for the John Deere MCS, installation is a breeze with simple hand tools.
Features:
- Lightweight aluminum construction
- Designed for full material expulsion
- Easy access self-latching spring tripped handle
- Ships almost fully assembled (5 minute handle assembly)
- Installs in seconds (after initial assembly)
Benefits:
- Easy - Convenient Access to dump handle directly from seat

- Has corrosion preventers
- For lawn and garden equipment and other gasoline-powered vehicles
- Ensures quick starts in all two- and four-cycle engines
- Use in gasoline, gasoline-oil mixture, and ethanol blends
- Use to treat gas cans at each fill-up or use at every fill-up of vehicle
- Keeps fuel fresh for 12 months
- Contains a fuel injector and carburetor cleaner
- 1 oz (29.6 mL) treats 2 gal. (7.6 L)
Always use fuel stabilizer in gasoline.
Fuel sitting in gas tanks or gas containers for more than 30 days begins to degrade. Also, blended fuels and water in gasoline can form acids that corrode fuel-system components. Protect the investment - use John Deere fuel stabilizer with corrosion preventers and prevent hard starting, surging, lack of power, poor idle, flooding, and will not run or stay running conditions caused by poor-quality fuel. Ask a local John Deere dealer or visit JDParts.
Helpful tips:
- Add fuel stabilizer every time fuel is purchased.
- Deere gasoline-powered equipment is recommended to run on a minimum of 87 octane gasoline.
- John Deere Fuel-Protect for gasoline is safe to use in all types of gasoline, including gasoline/oil mixtures and blended fuels containing up to 10 percent ethanol.
- Use plastic fuel containers to store fuel; ask a local John Deere dealer.
- For best results, use a spill-proof gas can that automatically seals the gas can vent.
- Store fuel in a cool, dry, dark place in a sealed fuel can.
- Fill tank to the top every time the machine is put away.
- Make sure tank is drained if stored for the winter or treated if left for prolonged periods of time.
Please refer to the operator’s manual for additional recommendations and warranty information.
Fuel related issues are not considered a warrantable condition as there is no defect in the materials or workmanship of the machine.

Mulch Kits
MulchControl advantages and benefits
MulchControl for the 42-in. (107-cm) Accel Deep (42A) Mower Deck makes mulching more practical for many mowing situations because it not only does an excellent job of mulching but it also allows the mower to be easily converted for times when it is more desirable to side discharge or collect the lawn material. Advantages of mulching grass clippings include:
- A beautiful looking lawn
- Grass clippings not blown onto the operator, driveways, or flower beds
- Less fertilizer use
- Elimination of the effort needed to dispose of clippings
How MulchControl works
MulchControl is an innovative, simple design that is easy to use and maintain:
- MulchControl includes baffles to control the flow of material under the deck.
- When the MulchControl baffle is open, most of the material passes through the discharge opening.
- When the MulchControl baffle is closed, the material stays within the deck and gets chopped into mulch and deposited in the turf.
- The MulchControl handle is located on top of the mower deck and used to open and close the discharge baffle.
- The operator is required to get off of the machine in order to engage or disengage mulch mode.
- Changing from mulching to side discharging or vice versa takes only a few seconds.
MulchControl is well-suited to the following mowing situations:
- Usually mulch, but side discharge when grass gets too long
- Usually side-discharge, but would like to be able to close the chute to control clippings
- Always mulch a main lawn, but often side discharge secondary lawns
- Bag clippings, but want to go farther before emptying bags
MulchControl puts the operator in control of the clippings. The operator can have all the benefits of mulching with the ability to easily change to side discharging when needed.
MulchControl limitations
While in the side-discharge mode, MulchControl will still mulch about one third of the material. Therefore, the side-discharge mode is essentially a partial-mulch mode. This can be an advantage when side discharging or bagging, as it helps to reduce the amount of material being discharged. Other times this could work as a disadvantage:
- When cutting strong southern grasses, such as Zoysia and Bermuda
- When cutting in wet, high-growth conditions, such as those found in the Pacific Northwest United States
- When optimum bagging and lawn clean-up is desired
- 42A Mower Deck requires a MulchControl baffle be removed to install the bagger chute; see 42A versatility explanation for more information
MulchControl advantages and benefits
The 42-in. (107-cm) electric one-touch MulchControl attachment enhances versatility and productivity. A mower deck equipped with electric one-touch MulchControl not only does an excellent job of mowing and mulching, but it can also be quickly converted to side discharge or mulch mode with the touch of a switch:
- Easily converts while mowing from side discharge mode to mulch mode or vice versa
- In mulch mode, controls clippings dispersion in unwanted areas (driveways, landscape beds, near buildings, windows, parking lots, etc.)
- Reduces cleanup time needed to dispose of clippings
- Will reduce the amount of material entering a material collection system because, even in the side discharge mode, MulchControl will mulch about one third of the material due to the additional baffles under the mower deck
How electric one-touch MulchControl works
A tractor equipped with the electric one-touch MulchControl attachment delivers unprecedented levels of productivity and versatility. A convenient, dash-mounted switch provides operators the ability to change between side discharging and mulching. A heavy-duty discharge baffle opens and closes easily with the touch of the dash-mounted switch.
A dependable electric actuator is used to close and open the discharge baffle. The mower deck can easily be converted from side discharge mode to mulch mode or vice versa in a few seconds by activating the switch.
MulchControl is an innovative, simple design that is easy to use and maintain:
- MulchControl includes baffles to control the flow of material under the deck.
- When the MulchControl baffle is open, most of the material passes through the discharge opening.
- When the MulchControl baffle is closed, the material stays within the deck and gets chopped into mulch and deposited in the turf.
- The MulchControl electric switch used to open and close the discharge baffle is located on the tractor dash.
- The operator is not required to get off of the machine in order to engage or disengage mulch mode.
MulchControl is well suited to the following mowing situations:
- For operators who usually mulch, but side discharge when grass gets too long
- For operators who usually side discharge, but would like to be able to close the chute to control clippings
- For operators who always mulch a main lawn, but often side discharge secondary lawns
MulchControl puts the operator in control of the clippings. The operator can have all the benefits of mulching with the ability to easily change to side discharging when desired.
With electric one-touch MulchControl, operators can convert between modes without interrupting the mowing process, making it practical to change between modes as conditions require:
- When approaching clean areas like driveways or flowerbeds where clippings would be undesirable
- When a breeze might blow clippings back onto the operator
- For side discharge mowing only the areas of the property where grass is too tall or thick for mulching
Advantages of MulchControl include:
- Performance is improved.
- Mulching is beneficial because it returns the clippings to the ground as fertilizer, which promotes lawn growth.
- Clippings are much smaller, which allows them to fall into the grass and be removed from view.
- Unsightly grass clippings are not blown onto driveways or into flower beds.
- Fertilizer use is reduce and provides associated environmental benefits.
- Uptime is increased.
- Operators can convert quickly between modes, making it possible to change between mulching and side discharging as conditions require.
- Mulching heavy, thick material can significantly reduce mower productivity. The ability to switch from mulch to side discharge mode ensures productivity, especially in grass too tall or thick to mulch effectively.
- Cost of operation is reduced.
- Controlling clipping dispersion reduces cleanup time.
MulchControl limitations
While in the side discharge mode, MulchControl will still mulch about one third of the material. Therefore, the side discharge mode is essentially a partial mulch mode. This can be an advantage when side discharging or bagging, as it helps to reduce the amount of material being discharged. Other times this could work as a disadvantage:
- When cutting strong southern grasses, such as Zoysia and Bermuda
- When cutting in wet, high growth conditions, such as those found in the Pacific Northwest United States
- When optimum bagging and lawn cleanup is desired
- 42A Mower Deck requires a MulchControl baffle be removed to install the bagger chute; see 42A versatility explanation for more information
Compatibility
This electric one-touch MulchControl attachment is field installed and compatible with a 42A Mower installed on an X300 Select Series Tractor.
NOTE: Model year 2016-2017 X300 Series Tractors (serial number 10,001-50,000) require replacing the tractor wiring harness and dash panel to use an electric MulchControl attachment.

Tire Chains
Protect your driving surface. TerraGrip Traction Belts offer enhanced traction on snow, mud, dirt, wet asphalt, and wet concrete surfaces. They will not scratch or chip concrete, asphalt, or aggregate drives or walkways. The proven reliability of the traditional steel chain attachment system is used and combined with the performance and durability of reinforced rubber slats. The rubber slats wrap around the tire so only rubber touches the driving surface. The result is aggressive traction without the risk of surface damage, that can happen with traditional chains.
Features:
- Rubber slats surround the tire and will not damage driveways or sidewalks.
- No steel touches the driving surface.
- No-tools installation utilizes a traditional steel chain attachment system.
- Traction is improved on all surfaces, especially loose material (snow, dirt, mud, sand, etc.).
- TerraGrip Traction Belts are approved for John Deere X300, X500 M-T, and X700 Series Tractors.
Additional information for 4-wheel-steer tractor models:
- X700 Series – requires wheel spacer sold separately
- X500 Series – requires wheel stop adjustment
- X300 Series – no additional requirements
Chains are recommended for extra traction when using attachments such as a snow blower or front blade.
One pair of chains is included in each bundle.

The 42-lb (19-kg) Quik-Tatch can be used to counterbalance a heavy front or rear attachment and/or provide greater stability, especially when operating on hills.
This weight is constructed of cast iron and weighs approximately 42 lb (19 kg).
Some vehicles have built-in front and/or rear weight brackets to hang the weights on; others require a weight bracket that must be ordered separately.
X400/X500 Heavy-Duty Garden Tractors and X700 Series Tractors require the following parts when weights are installed on the front of the tractor:
- One M147986 weight retaining rod (Parts)
