300 Fender-Deck Install Questions

nick, for the rear jd parts calls it an isolator part# m73249. it's a rubber spacer with a stud sticking out either side of it. alittle over 5 bucks a piece from the dealer.
for the front jd parts says bushing and lists a few different part numbers depending on what model you have.

if you use your own bushing for the front make sure they keep the fender deck up high enough or you might run into clearance issues with the double brake pedal hitting the fender deck.

Nick,
I measured the front spacers on my 316K project, and they are just 1/2" diameter tubing, 1/2" tall.

Just started this today. My JD 105 dies when brake released. Does not matter if in gear or not. Where should I looking for problem? Any help is greatly appreciated.

First, welcome to WFM, Garland. Second, I don't know diddly about a 105, but think you will find help here.
I would be looking at the seat safety switch first and possibly the RIO (reverse) switch. I suspect either one could cause the problem. The brake switch would seem to be doing it's job.

Garland welcome to WFMs. Are you sitting it the seat when this happens? It is definitely one of the safety switches. If you are not sitting in the seat it should happen. Did you buy the tractor new? Has someone messed with the wiring to do something like like try to remove the RIO switch? Roger
