Got a cracked John Deere hood? Don’t assume you need to replace it! 🟢🟡

If you own one of the John Deere lawn tractors with a plastic hood, you’ve probably seen this before. As the plastic ages, vibration, heat, and normal use can lead to those frustrating cracks — sometimes running nearly the entire length of the hood.

This John Deere 345 came in with a large crack running through the front section of the hood. Instead of simply gluing it together, I repaired it properly by:

🔧 Aligning the damaged hood back into its original position
🔥 Reinforcing the crack from the backside with hot staples
🛠️ Plastic-welding the crack back together
🧱 Sanding and finishing the exterior to restore the hood's shape

The backside reinforcement helps give the repair strength, while the plastic weld joins the damaged sections back together. From here, the exterior can be finished and refinished for a much cleaner appearance.

A cracked hood doesn’t always mean an expensive replacement!

If your John Deere hood has those pesky cracks, broken corners, or damaged mounting areas, reach out and let me take a look.

This is what “poor running” looked like inside.

This Stihl concrete saw came in running poorly. Once opened up, it was packed with concrete dust, had the wrong spark plug installed, and the carburetor was leaking fuel from clogged passageways.

Concrete dust is rough on equipment. It traps heat, restricts airflow, wears parts faster, and can turn a simple service into a bigger repair if ignored too long.

Don’t wait until your saw, mower, generator, or outdoor power equipment quits completely.

Starts cold, dies hot, then won’t restart?

That was the issue with this chainsaw. It would start and run normally when cold, but once the engine warmed up, the ignition coil would lose spark. The saw would die and would not restart until it cooled down again.

After opening it up, the saw was packed with dirt, sawdust, and debris around the flywheel, cooling area, and ignition coil. That buildup traps heat and can cause electrical parts like ignition coils to overheat and fail.

This repair needed a new ignition coil, cleaning, and inspection to get it back to work.

Regular service is not just about oil, plugs, and filters — buildup inside equipment can cause real failures.

Before and after — another round of equipment brought back to life at JBS Engine Repair LLC.

This week included a mix of outdoor power equipment, including a Stihl chainsaw, Coleman Powermate generator, and Tanaka leaf blower.

Each machine came in needing attention, and after going through them, they’re cleaned up, serviced, and ready to get back to work.

Small engine equipment takes a beating from old fuel, dirt, dust, sitting unused, clogged filters, dull chains, carburetor issues, and normal wear. A little service can make a big difference in how well your equipment starts, runs, and performs when you actually need it.

At JBS Engine Repair LLC, I service and repair:

Chainsaws
Generators
Leaf blowers
W**d whackers
Push mowers
Self-propelled mowers
Riding mowers
Zero-turns
Snowblowers
Wood splitters
And other outdoor power equipment

Services include no-start diagnostics, tune-ups, carburetor cleaning, fuel system repairs, oil changes, filters, spark plugs, belts, blades, chains, and general maintenance.

Don’t let your equipment sit broken in the garage or shed. Get it checked out and back to work.

🚨 **Small Engine Repair Rant of the Day: Electric Motors on OUTDOOR Equipment** 🚨

Who thought putting a poorly sealed electric motor inches above wet grass was a great idea? 😂

These pictures are from inside an **electric mower deck height-adjustment actuator** I diagnosed today. From the outside, everything looked fairly normal. Open it up and… **rust, corrosion, damaged brushes, and water intrusion everywhere.**

And the kicker? This mower is **stored in a shed when it isn't being used.** It isn't sitting outside getting rained on. Normal mowing conditions, wet grass, moisture, and years of use were enough to get water inside an electric motor that's literally designed to live on outdoor power equipment.

Eventually the corrosion caused the actuator motor to fail internally, and it appears the failing motor was pulling enough current to damage the deck-height switch along with it.

Sometimes I really miss the days of:

**Lever → linkage → deck moves.** 😂

No motors.
No switches.
No wiring.
No $100+ actuator ruined because moisture found its way inside.

Electric controls can be convenient when they're working, but putting electronics and small electric motors underneath lawn equipment where they're constantly exposed to grass, dirt, vibration, and moisture will never make much sense to me.

At least this one gave us a pretty good look at **exactly what water intrusion can do inside a supposedly outdoor-use electric motor.** 🔧

Mobile repair takes more than a toolbox.

For larger equipment, I use a winch and ramps for controlled loading and unloading. But for certain repairs, diagnostics, generator lifting, and working off the back of the truck, this lift setup makes a big difference.

At JBS Engine Repair LLC, I’m set up to handle more than just basic mower tune-ups. Whether it’s a riding mower, generator, snowblower, wood splitter, or other outdoor power equipment, I bring practical equipment and repair experience to the job.

Some repairs can be handled on-site, and larger jobs can be picked up and brought back to the shop when needed.

Unique repair in the shop this week.

This Boss Industrial 7-ton electric wood splitter came in completely dead. The customer said when the power button was pushed, nothing would happen.

Another shop had turned the job away because it was electric equipment — but not here at JBS Engine Repair LLC.

With my background in industrial maintenance, I was able to diagnose the issue and dig into the electric motor. The splitter had been left outside, water got into the motor, and rust/moisture caused it to lock up.

I opened the motor, inspected the bearings, cleaned out the rust, dried everything out, tested the capacitor, reassembled it, and got the motor running again.

Back from dead to working.

JBS Engine Repair LLC handles more than just mowers — diagnostics, repairs, wood splitters, generators, snowblowers, and outdoor power equipment.
