The tractor is powered by a John Deere iTorque™ power system, a combination of engine features and an exclusive hood design providing superior lugging ability, even cooling, and durability. Key engine features include:
A flywheel alternator provides plenty of capacity to quickly recharge the battery and power electrical equipment, such as lights or a sprayer:
The frame is made of heavy-duty formed and welded steel, reinforced in critical areas for even greater strength:
The front bumper holds up to four 42-lb (19-kg) Quik-Tatch weights.
The 48-in. (122-cm) Accel Deep Deck uses the latest in three-spindle mowing technology to raise performance to a higher level:
The 48-in. (122-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:
Deep mower-deck stamping gives excellent cut quality. It allows the cut and suspended material room to exit the deck without getting recut:
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:
Large discharge opening is both high and wide to handle more material:
The flat-top shape of the deck stamping is optimal for keeping itself and the operator clean:
Cleaning a mower deck, both top and bottom, is one of the most frequent maintenance activities:
A wash port is provided to make cleaning the underside of the mower deck easy.
The 48A Mower Deck has strong spindle pockets, to keep the blades aligned, even after years of tough service:
Mower wheels are heavy duty:
Low-tension belt-drive design reduces the side load on engine lower bearings and mower deck bearings for longer life.
The 48A Mower Deck features a 5/8-in. (16-mm) diameter solid-steel rod side bumper that provides extra strength and protection.
Dual-stage E-coat and powder-paint coatings provide extra protection from rust.
The 48A Mower is designed for maximum versatility, providing the greatest ease in changing from one mower discharge mode to another:
A lever-action or electric one-touch MulchControl attachment for the 48A 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:
MulchControl is an innovative, simple design that is easy to use and maintain:
MulchControl is well-suited to the following mowing situations:
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 or bagging when needed.
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:
An optional 7-bu (247-L) rear bagger material collection system (MCS) is available. It provides an efficient means of collecting grass clippings and leaves:
Larger 14-bu (493-L) and 19-bu (670-L) MCS are available, in addition to the 7-bu (247-L) MCS, for specific X300 and X500 Series Tractor models.
The 54-in. (137-cm) Accel Deep Deck uses the latest in three-spindle mowing technology to raise performance to a higher level:

Lever-action or electric one-touch MulchControl attachment is available for Accel Deep™ 42-in. (107-cm) (42A), 48-in. (122-cm) (48A), and 54-in. (137-cm) (54A) Mower Decks used on X300 and X500 Select Series™ Tractors.
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:
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.
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.

The operator station is designed for operator comfort and convenience in operating all controls. The controls are easy to use and color coded for quick identification.
The 15-in. (38-cm) open-back seat (X570, X580) features distinctive styling and is designed for comfort:
The 21-in. (53-cm) high-back seat (X584, X590) provides additional comfort and support for the operator.
The seat suspension is easily adjusted to make most any operator comfortable:
The optional 21-in. (53.3-cm) professional two-piece seat, four-bar suspension, and slide shipped on Signature Series X700 Tractors is available as an upgrade seat and suspension for all X500 Multi-Terrain Tractors (model year 2006-). Key selling features for this seat include:
Armrests increase operator support and comfort, thus reducing fatigue and improving productivity, especially when mowing for extended periods of time. Armrests are adjustable to suit the operator. This armrest attachment is designed for the optional 21-in. (53.3-cm) professional two-piece seat.
Rubber foot pads make the operator more comfortable:
A cup holder and covered toolbox are conveniently located on the fender next to the operator's seat.
Handles on each fender are useful when getting on and off the tractor.
A 12-V outlet is standard equipment and provides a convenient plug-in for electrical equipment.
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 contoured dash has clean, attractive styling and ergonomic controls for easy use:
Instrument display has the look and feel of a modern automobile. A power-up sequence cycles lights and gauges to indicate they are working:
Twin Touch foot pedals control the speed and direction of travel:
Cruise control is standard equipment:
A rotary dial knob makes adjusting the mower cut height quick and easy:
Storage for the onboard deck-leveling gauge and the Exact Adjust tool is provided in the storage tray under the tractor’s seat:
Deck-leveling gauge is placed at the appropriate location under the left rear, right rear, and front of the mower deck as the cut height is adjusted using the Exact Adjust tool and front draft arm adjusting nuts.
Pushing with the foot to raise the mower or implement is less strenuous for many operators:
A lift-assist spring is provided on the tractor to minimize lift effort:
Convenient hydraulic lift lever makes raising and lowering the mower or implement easy:
Depressing the brake pedal applies force to internal wet-disk brake (which provides excellent durability and long life) for safe stopping.
Parking brake control is conveniently located for easy access; holds brake pedal securely in locked position.
NOTE: In the schematic above, the solid line refers to a four-wheel steer tractor, and the hashed line refers to a two-wheel steer tractor.
Four-wheel steering provides very significant maneuverability and trimming advantages over two-wheel-steering equipped tractors (the following numbers correspond to the schematic above):
1. The uncut circle diameter is greatly reduced, eliminating or greatly reducing the need to back up when trimming around trees, shrubs, etc.
2. Interference from the mower and tractor wheels is eliminated because they are several inches away from the object being trimmed around.
3. The outside turning circle is reduced, reducing the time spent turning and increasing mowing efficiency.
Hydraulic power steering is standard equipment to maximize the benefits of four-wheel steering with both tight turns and easy steering:
The four-wheel steering system is designed for tight turns, leading to greater mowing efficiency:
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:
Consult the operator's manual for the correct adjusting procedures for each tractor model. Basic adjusting steps to properly level the mower deck include:
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.
The one-piece hood opens easily to permit checking and servicing the engine:
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.
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.
An advantage of lawn tractors is their ability to use attachments for snow removal and other yard-care chores. Lawn tractor owners can add a John Deere snow blower or front blade to make quick work of moving snow whenever the need arises. Weather enclosure and tire-chain attachments add comfort and performance.
Equipment available for snow removal includes:
Rotary tillers are real time savers for preparing seedbeds, controlling weeds, and other tillage jobs.

John Deere Fuel-Protect gasoline stabilizer is a unique formula developed to ensure optimum performance and protection year-round:
Always use fuel stabilizer in your 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 your 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 your local John Deere dealer or visit JDParts.
Helpful tips:
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.
For more information on fuel, visit John Deere Groundscare.
M152726 is an approved alternative to M143520, standard side-discharge blade. M152726 improves cut-quality performance in certain grass conditions. It will increase the amount of lift or suction under the deck. It will be most beneficial for customers who are experiencing cut quality issues with the standard blade, especially in limp grass, typical in early spring and late fall.

The MulchControl attachment for the 54A 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:
MulchControl is an innovative, simple design that is easy to use and maintain:
MulchControl is well-suited to the following mowing situations:
MulchControl puts the operator in control of the clippings. Now the operator can have all the benefits of mulching with the ability to easily change to side discharge or bagging when needed.
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:

The 40-in. (102-cm) Tractor Shovel expands the usefulness of any John Deere Select SeriesTM X300 or X500 Multi-Terrain Tractor by allowing it to pick up and move material. It utilizes a high-capacity electric actuator that provides lift, lower, dump, and down force functions. No front blade is required.
The tractor shovel takes the back-breaking labor out of jobs like moving mulch, spreading gravel, ground grading, and more. It installs using the tractor's existing frame holes. After initial installation, it can be removed or installed without tools.
The innovative opening design of the tractor shovel, combined with the lift height, assures complete emptying of material. The tractor shovel can also be used for scraping and grading by locking the shovel in the raised position.

Key features:
Compatibility:
The unique design of the 40-in. (102-cm) Tractor Shovel allows an operator who has a Select Series™ X300 Series (including X300R and X350R) or X500 Series Multi-Terrain Tractor to use the tractor shovel for lifting and moving material as well as for typical blade functions (without blade angling), such as blading, leveling, and scraping:
The tractor shovel is operated from the tractor seat with the use of a control rod and an electric switch.
An electric actuator provides power to raise, lower, and empty the shovel.
To raise or lower the tractor shovel, use the electric switch on the tractor shovel panel.
Depress the bottom of the switch to raise the shovel and depress the top of the switch to lower the shovel.
To open the shovel for emptying, raise it completely and then pull the control rod to the yellow area of the rod and press the upper end of the electric switch.
To close the shovel, press the lower end of the electric switch until the control rod releases to the black area of the rod.
To use the tractor shovel for blading, use the handle on the right side of the shovel to raise it and then use the locking lever to lock it in the raised position.

NOTE: The photo above shows the earlier AM136691 winter grille cover on a pre-2014 X300 Tractor. AM145350 winter grille cover replaces AM136691. It is similar in appearance and designed for use with the earlier hoods as well as the 2014 and later hoods used on X300 Series Tractors (SN 280,001-) with the newer styling.
Winter grille covers are available as an accessory for Select Series™ X300 and air-cooled X500 Multi-
Terrain Tractors:
*The winter grille cover is recommended only for air-cooled tractors; use of the winter grille cover on a
liquid-cooled tractor may cause the engine to overheat, which will cause the power take-off (PTO) to disengage.
NOTE: To avoid engine damage, the winter grille cover must be removed when outside temperature reaches 40 degrees F (4 degrees C) or higher.
The purpose of the winter grille cover is to seal the side vents on the hood; they need to be blocked completely. The cover must be aligned properly to accomplish this. If the sides are not sealed, carburetor icing may still be a problem.
Symptoms of carburetor icing:
