John Deere X304 owners manual-Jensales?

I bought a x304 riding mower last week and looking for a manual. Anybody have experience with Jensales and are they a good manual? If anybody has one I’m in the market, JD ones are pretty pricey. Thank you

Isn’t the on line manual sufficient?

It probably is, but I prefer print. Are JD digital manuals free to read? I didn’t see those, Are they on JD website? Thanks Eyekatcher

Holy cow, when I put a simpler search in google a munch came up reasonably priced.

I use the manuals and parts diagrams all the time.

$24 on E-Bay for the print X300 series service manual

How do you like the all wheel steering?

I just bought a Deere x354 this spring. Best freaking mower EVER. Close enough to a ZT mower for me but with none of the disadvantages.

Grouse, I like it but the steering will take some getting used to. It feels like my butt is slipping out kind of like losing traction in the old rear wheel drive hot rods. It’s one solid tractor though! Only used it once so far but I like it a whole lot better since I figured out how to hotwire that lever that stalls out the PTO if you don’t pull it when cutting in reverse.

Holy Crap Rocky! Good morning Mark
Thank you very much for the message. The X304 service manual (OEM-S-JDTM2308) is manual that we special order, and is not currently listed on our website. This manual is available, and is $350.95. I have the table of contents below.

Please let us know if this is something you are interested in! Jensales Team

Yeah, that BS “feature” lasted all of 1 mowing before I deleted it as well.

I think there may be som confusion with service manual vs owners manual. A service manual is for the mechanic and is going to go through all kinds of highly technical repairs that an owner is highly unlikely to ever need or attempt themselves even if needed.

A owner’s manual covers routine maintenance and basic troubleshooting as well as attachment procedures etc.

I work on a bit of equipment and only very rarely do I need a service manual.

Btw if your Deere has that lame never change oil system , delete it and go back to a proper oil filter.
