John Deere 1130 SE
Original Message   Jan 7, 2009 1:07 pm
I did a search and found a few references to this machine but no answers.  Any one have one of these?  15.5 snow max engine, heated hand grips, 30" wide.  I can't find a listing for auger diameter or impeller diameter.  I called John Deere and the guy that was suppose to be the snow thrower expert didn't know either. 

What is the Easy Steer drive system?  The literature says: 

  • Easy Steer® drive system giving continuous power to both wheels and auto speed adjustment
  • Is it similar to the Ariens auto differential? 

    I've heard that the units are built by B&S which translates to Simplicity.  They do have cast iron gear cases like the Simplicity.  The chute control is different than the simplicity and so is the turning method so they are not exactly the same.  I'm trying to compare the Simplicity L1530E to the JD 1130SE.  Any help would be appreciated.

    By the way, I made a maintenance record chart for all of the common things that need done for the 1130 so I can keep track of what I have done and when.

    I love the red light idea!  I'll probably do the same with mine.

    If we do end up mounting a light on the top of the cab, we can run the wires through the frame to hide them.

    I just looked at ebay.  They have 24 and 48 red LED brake lights that look interesting.

    LED would probably be better.  I noticed that the headlight does dim a bit anyways when I turn up the heated grips.  Adding another light wouldn't help any.  It could probably use a LED headlight too to reduce the draw on the power as well.

    I just ordered the 24 light version.  It was $6.94 with shipping.

    Can you post the link for the one you ordered?  I'm on eBay now.

    Now I'll get the mount ready and wires routed while I wait for this thing to be sent from China.
