John Deere LG240 Maintenance Kit

What It Is

The John Deere LG240 Maintenance Kit is a pre-assembled set of genuine OEM filters and oil designed for a single oil change on select John Deere lawn tractors, including the L100, L110, L118, L120, L130, and LX series. It’s meant for annual or 100-hour service intervals.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Models: Fits John Deere L100, L110, L118, L120, L130, LX172, LX173, LX176, LX178, LX186, LX188, LX277, LX279, LX280, and LX288. Also compatible with some Sabre and Scotts models using the same engine.
• Engine types: Works with Briggs & Stratton 12.5–20 HP single-cylinder engines (typically 17.5 HP and up) and Kohler Courage 17–20 HP engines.
• What’s included: One oil filter (AM125424), one air filter (M110551), one fuel filter (M806598), and one quart of SAE 30 oil (TY24405). Confirm your engine uses a spin-on oil filter (not a cartridge type) and that the air filter shape matches your housing (some LX models use a round vs. rectangular air filter).
• Check before buying: Verify your mower’s deck size (42", 48", or 54") doesn’t affect filter access, and measure the air filter slot—this kit’s air filter is rectangular, not round. If your mower uses 10W-30 oil, you’ll need to buy that separately.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: All parts are genuine John Deere OEM, not aftermarket—fits perfectly and lasts the full season. No cross-brand compatibility issues.
• Installation difficulty: Easy for DIYers (15–30 minutes). Requires basic tools: oil drain pan, socket wrench for oil filter, and pliers for fuel filter clips.
• Common gotchas: The fuel filter has a directional arrow—install it pointing toward the carburetor. The kit includes only 1 quart of oil; most engines need 1.5–2 quarts, so buy an extra quart of SAE 30 or 10W-30. The air filter is pre-oiled—don’t wash or re-oil it.
• Storage: Kit comes in a resealable box; store unused filters in a dry place.

Should You Buy It

If you own one of the listed John Deere tractors and want a hassle-free, OEM-quality maintenance kit without sourcing parts individually, this is a solid value at $55.72. It’s ideal for DIY owners who change oil annually and want guaranteed fitment, but if your engine uses a different oil weight or a round air filter, you’ll need to buy those separately.
