I have had my 4100 since 1998. About 5 years after I bought it, I had started to have starting issues. When I turned the key on, the glow plug would not go on. I traced it to the glow plug relay. I replaced the relay and the problem came back a couple of years later. I rewired the glow plugs to...

Update for the pto shield. What I was trying to do, was to lube the u joints on the pto shaft without removing the shaft. This spreader is used to clean 60 horse stalls twice a day, so it does not allow for much down time also it is 10 degrees out so fingers get a little cold. Today, I was able...

I am trying to retract a pto shield between a John Deere 3032E and a Frontier manure spreader. The labels are worn off so I can't identify the manufacturer of the shield. I have googled shields. Everything so far shows shields with 3 lock tabs with different methods of removing the shield. The...

Possible fix: Had to put the Gator on the back burner yesterday to deal with a water issue in one of the horse stalls. When I first looked at the Gator on Wednesday, I turned the key on to see what was working. All the dash lights lit up. The glow plug light came on then off after about 6 to 7...

I,ve towed horse trailers for 40+ years. Had one come unhitched once on a rough road with the lift tab style hitch. Not fun. I converted to a bull dog hitch and never lost one since. When I unhitch, it just takes a couple taps with one of the safety chain hooks and the sleeve moves back. It may...

The ft axel is designed to run slightly faster than the rear to allow the driver to shift to 4wd while moving at speed. If both axels were geared the same, you could not engage 4wd smooth. Awd vehicles have a limited slip between ft & rear end. On vehicles that have lock up function on awd they...

While moving snow this week, I could smell diesel fuel. I shut the engine down and looked around the engine. The number 2 injector is wet. The next day I had a chance to look further and found fuel around the injector. I looked at the tec manual for the injector r&r and found that the...

I am new to this list so bare with me. I have owned this tractor since new in 1998. aprox 650 hrs on it. Up untill this year, I had never used the float position on the loader. To tell the truth I never new what it was. When I tried it, it seemed to work fine. The next day I used it again...
