Thanks Bro, I have a JS30 that while it was in storage had the belt chewed off of it. I asked everywhere for the routing diagram and nobody had it, I asked 3 John Deere dealers and a local small engine repair guy. Thanks a TON !!! Now my mower has drive again !!!!!!

I Have this mower and i LOVE IT...It Is A Beast...i live in S. Louisiana where if you miss a weekly yard mow you could be in trouble if all you own is a weak lawn mower....the JS20 can damn near Bush Hog if you lift the wheels all they way up.....

You're not lying about that! I just got a free JS30, needs a new drive wheel, and maybe a belt. This thing starts first pull every time, it's a beast though, needs the self propell working.

Thanks! I have the same lack of engagement but began at the levers, which was not a good way to get started. Then I looked underneath but still don't know. And actually, I did begin removing the cover as you did, then stopped and looked underneath but haven't figured out the problem. Now I will try your approach. 😊

Thanks for the video. First, John Deere did not make these mowers, and their dealers will not work on them. They licensed their name to Lowes and another manufacturer so that Lowes could sell a "John Deere" mower. They run great as long as you never use gas containing ethanol. The ethanol absorbs water which turns the zinc casting of the carburetor into zinc oxide, which gums up the carb. Use 100% pure gas. www.pure-gas.org Not necessarily the brand Pure, but stations of many brands that sell pure gasoline without ethanol added.
