This is a bit of a necro thread, but might as well keep all this great info in one place. My venerable JD Z425 that I got (used) way back in 2009'ish is in dire need of new rear tires. It came with, and still has, the original Innova Cayman IA-8030 tires, size 22-9.50-10. That size is not...

Yes, yes, yes, and yes. Fan not coming on. Fan tested OK. All wiring tested OK (jumpered at thermoswitch connector, fan comes on). Installed new thermoswitch. Idiot light and sensor tests OK. Water pump OK. Hoses OK. Thermostat also brand new and tests OK. New radiator cap (did not pressure...

Has anyone already solved this problem? Hoping to not reinvent the wheel. I'd like to replace the idiot light sensor with an actual temperature gauge. Thanks!

Winner, winner, chicken dinner! I think this is the real culprit. If you go back and re-read my original post, I said specifically that picking up the hitch just enough to take the slack out cured the problem perfectly. I will investigate if angling the blade more forward (I'm not going to...

Cool idea! I've got no circuit for it, though. However I've been wanting an extra rear circuit for a while, now. Maybe two circuits. Ok, that's going on the project list for next year! :)

Running an iMatch setup, not that that matters. I just like to be efficient ;) I might adjust the top link to find the right angle, but then it's going back to where it was and spacers will be cut to match that. And not just "No", but "Hell, no" on plowing backwards!!!

:) I've had it for ten years now. For the winter I wish I had a 4000 series, but for everything else I do the 3520 is a much better size. Plus when I bought it the budget said "4000 conventional or 3000 with a cab". Obviously I'm glad I got the cab!!! There are 6" wheel extenders on the back so...

Good idea, Tom, except that the upper link works perfectly for all my other attachments as is, so I'd rather not adjust it, i.e. I'd rather carry any adjustments on the implement itself, if possible. Noise is fine, chatter is not. Perhaps I should have said the thing was frankly hopping, which...

Photo of my setup below. JD3520 with Frontier 60" mid-PTO driven blower on a front hitch, and Frontier 72" rear blade on the back. The last couple of years have thrown a lot of ice, freezing rain and slush at us, and of course the blower can't deal with any of that. So for this year the 800lb...

Looking to augment my 60" Frontier front mount snow blower and up my slush removal game. We've been getting a lot of wet snows lately and the blower can't handle the last couple of inches of slush, of course. I can do the math easy enough. I've got 4" wheel extenders on the JD3520 so the rears...

Hi all, First time post to TBN. If this is the wrong sub-forum for this question please move the post as required and spank me! I've got a John Deere 3520 cab tractor. SWMBO has requested a PTO driven broadcast spreader for Springtime. This will be primarily used to put down granular...

So I'm lubing up the 3520 the other day and most everything is taking like 3 or 4 shots (pumps) from my Milwaukee electric grease gun, i.e. completely normal. Then I get to the rockshaft. Each side took 20 and I still don't see where it's all going. How much should it take? Yes, there's still...

I am a fairly new tractor owner. I'd like to tow a small utility trailer I have to carry brush, etc. I am able to find no end of 2" receiver units for 3 point hitches, but the attachment that would seem to be a no-brainer, a 2" receiver that either bolts to or replaces the drawbar is not to be...
