John Deere S120 Lawn Tractor with 42" Deck
Powerful V-twin engine features full-pressure lubrication for dependability and long life
A 16.4-kW (22-hp) V-twin engine has plenty of power and torque to handle tough mowing, mulching, and bagging:
- V-twin cylinder design for greater torque, lower vibration, and improved sound quality
- Overhead valves for excellent power and fuel economy
- Full-pressure lubrication and oil filter for cleaner oil, prolonging engine life and extending the time between oil changes
Fuel tank
- The capacity is 9.1 L (2.4 U.S. gal.).
John Deere Easy Change™ 30-second oil change system
The John Deere Easy Change 30-second oil change system makes changing the engine oil easy, quick, and clean. Changing the oil is as easy as twisting on a new oil-filled filter. Oil does not need to be drained from the engine.
Everyone who uses the John Deere Easy Change system saves time and avoids the mess of a traditional oil change. In the past, many 100 Series Lawn Tractor owners rarely or never got around to changing their engine oil. With the 30-second oil change, even people who previously would not consider changing the oil themselves can easily do it. The Easy Change system is a no-mess, no-fuss solution the competition cannot match.
Frame made of full-length welded steel for reliability
- Full-length, robotically welded frame design has high-strength steel rails for added strength and long life.
- One-piece, steel fender deck is bolted to the frame.
Cast-iron front axle will not bend
The front bumper is included on the S130 and S140. It is available as an optional attachment for the S100, S110, and S120.
The CargO Mount system is a combination of front- and rear-mounting points providing convenient and easy installation of the sun canopy, rear bagger, and other attachments.
Hydrostatic transmission gives an infinite choice of ground speeds
Appropriate transmissions are used in each model, depending on rear tyre size and tractor performance requirements, to ensure excellent performance and reliability.
Operator station designed for operator comfort and convenience

Wide footrest areas with non-slip, anti-vibration floor mats are provided for operator comfort.

Mower deck height adjustment

Serviceability is convenient with easy-open hood
