The John Deere 102 ride on lawn mower is the smallest model in the 2006 John Deere 100 series of lawnmowers.  Bigger models include the John Deere 115 lawn mower and the John Deere 125 lawnmower. The JD 102 has a Briggs and Stratton 1 cylinder engine. It incorporates their Anti Vibration System (AVS) technology allowing it to operate very efficiently. This 0.501 liter engine requires 1.4 liters of oil to be fully filled and allow for complete and efficient lubrication of the engine. It produces 17 hp to power the wheels and blade. The 12 volt battery used to start the engine is charged by a 9 amp battery once the engine is running.

The John Deere 102 is built on a 4X2 2WD chassis offering great support and strength. The frame has been built from robot welded steel, meaning that there is no potential for loose connections. Power from the engine is transferred to the wheels via a Dana 4360 transmission that gives the JD 102 5 forward gears and 1 for reversing. This transmission gives the lawnmower a top speed of 8 kph (5 mph). The fuel tank can hold up to 7.9 liters (2.1 US gallons) of gasoline. The total weight of the machine comes to 200 kg (442 lbs).

It has a wheelbase of 1.24 m (49 inches) and width of 1.31 m (52 inches) when the mowing deck is attached. This makes it quite steady, allowing you to operate on hills and inclines. The mower deck itself has a cutting width of 42 inches and is made from 12 gauge steel, helping to prevent damage and deflections from occurring. You will also find the turning radius is very reasonable at just 0.5 m (18 inches). When buying this mower new, it came with a 2 year warranty.
