Ta Da!! Got the Original Cab Co. softside cab and installed over the holidays........

Does anyone know where Deere hid the Warning Light Flasher Relay? :confused: I want to replace with a low amp trigger flasher & upgrade lights to LED. I looked around and could not find it. It is not in the fuse block either. The 3 relays there are for other things. I looked at the JD...

The Society of Tribologists published the following API Base Stock Group definition table, so I am repeating here. Otherwise got to pay API $125 for the full standard (API 1509)........ No doubt Mobil switched from Group IV (PAO) to Group III (hydrocracked crude) base stocks sometime in the...

Coming soon........... What would I add/change? My boys available to put it together for me!

Here - have a look at this lovely sample of diesel fuel around the U.S. Note the widely varying lubricity provided from the pump fuels. Same with cetane level, etc. Sorry, this supports conclusion diesel fuel in U.S. is crappy compared to Europe & Japan, hence we use additives........ There...

I was re-educating myself on the sorry state of synthetic engine oil base stocks last week. Since SAE got out of the 'synthetic' definition business, and Exxon bought Mobil (1998), it seems the race to cheapen synthetic engine oil base stocks continues. Not that I think there is anything...

Stump loses!

Hi, Has anybody tried to retrofit Deere's front dethatcher attachment for Lawn & Garden tractors to a 1000 Series Deere SCUT tractor? :confused3: We looked at it this weekend and the bracket on the dethatcher is identical width of the tractor front hitch bracket so it can not slide inside or...

Finally, a photo! I didn't give up. Unfortunately, no 'action' shot - everybody else was busy doing something, besides I was in a cloud of dust most of the time. :cloud9:

np, RG1 - I can do better than that, I can attach the 1000 Series Tractor rear lug nut part specs right from Deere's parts list website..... Keep in mind they show two styles of bolt, tapered head & ball head. Well, my tractor ONLY takes the ball head, so I don't know what they were trying to...

I got a tilt meter too.......... No more dicey mowing this year!!

Thanks TripleR & bigtiller. Now why didn't I think to simply contact them? The Polar Vortex gots my brain! (6 degrees with howling wind....again)

Members, Has anyone added wheel spacers to John Deere's 1000 Series SCUT Tractors? (1026R, 1023, 1025) Mowing on some of my slopes is a bit dicey, I am wondering if there is an aftermarket kit that would help. I looked in Attachments Menus, but the recommended vendor stopped at the 2000...

I don't care if there's still 2 feet of snow on the the ground! I'm getting the hydraulic angling kit & driveshaft kit to convert my 52" Deere Rotary Broom to fit my 1026R SCUT tomorrow!! :irked: After a top 100 winter in recorded history, it's time to move on. Drives & streets are chocked...
