The John Deere LESCO WL83B has the same engine as the John Deere LESCO WL80B. However, it’s mower deck is 4 inches bigger, having a cutting width of 36 inches. This 36 inch mower deck is fabricated from 7 gauge steel which won’t let you down and deform or crack even after repeated bumps and knocks. The mower deck is engaged by an electric PTO clutch. For obvious safety reasons, the JD LESCO WL83B has a operator presence system built in, so if you do let go of the pistol grip handles, the blade will stop and the engine will shut down.

The John Deere LESCO WL83B is not started with a key start ignition but rather with a pull cord recoil starting system. This starts the gasoline powered Kawasaki FH381V engine which provides 13 hp to power both the drive train and the mower deck. The engine is air cooled and uses a dual element air filter to make sure there is no particulate matter in the air-fuel mix when in the combustion chamber. As the LESCO WL83B is mostly used by commercial enterprises, it has a large fuel tank capable of holding up to 18.9 liters (5 US gallons) of gasoline.

The John Deere LESCO WL83B comes with reverse assist, to make turning the machine quicker and easier. While the cutting width of this mower is 36 inches, the total width of the mower is 48 inches when the discharge chute is down.
