What Normal Maintenance Should I Perform On My John Deere Riding Mower?
I own a LT133, that was conveyed with the house I recently bought.
Anyone have Owners Manuals or any other advice for this 4 year old lawn tractor?

Change the oil every 25 hours, if equipped with a oil filter, its OK to change it every 50 hours. Change the airfilter (do not blow it out or try and clean it if its paper) once a year, more in dusty conditions. Be sure to check the oil regularly, check and sharpen/replace as necessary the blades. Grease any grease zerks about every 3 or so years, this isn’t too critical though. And if its a hydro transmission, have the fluid changed!. Now, keep the tires aired up for a good cut…. if they leak a little, slime tire sealant is a great help for leaks. Gap and clean the spark plug once a year…. I replace em when they start to get hard to start, but probably replace it every 5 years.

John Deere doesn’t offer old Owner Manuals on their website, but they do offer a general maintenance kit…oil, cleaners, spark plugs. See the link to John Deere kits…

Mainly you just want to replace the oil and oil filter once in awile , and replace or clean the air filter , If the air filter gets to dirty the machine will run rich and or not start properly , its a good idea to have a spare spark plug as previously stated but they rarely go bad hope this helps m8
