sorry, it is a 42" deck. i didn't know that there was something smaller. I see with and w/o tension handle. I don't think I have a tension handle just that bracket in the middle with the spring on it. It has a hole for a 3/8 square drive. I'm going to look around in yard again to see if...

I'm having problems with replacing my mower deck belt on a JD X300. The original broke. I measured it and it measures 141". All the replacements I find are 146". I've tried one of them but it twisted and hopped off. I suspect the extra length was part of problem. Googling I see lots of...

Not wanting to start a brand war here, but I am wondering if replacement parts for other tractors Kubota, Mahindra etc are just as expensive as JD? I just removed a fuel pump that looks like about a $25 part on any other engine. The JD OEM is $140. Fortunately, there are aftermarket sources...

thank you for that p/n. I see them listed on ebay for $40. Now I am thinking that pump is actually a lift pump to get the diesel up to that mechanism above it that is actually the high pressure diesel pump. I was thinking I'd find a lower price by finding the same engine used for marine...

Time to start a new post "where to get the best deal on a new fuel pump or repair kit for a Yanmar" first I connected my marine primer bulb hose kit to the pump and squeezed. As I squeezed the bulb it coughed which is a bit more action than previously. Next I bypassed the FP and connected...

I read those other posts. The man that was successful by blowing air thru the lines. I am wondering if that means loosening the lines going to each of the injectors or just purging up to the top of the pump where fuel is on the way to the injectors. Or worst case loosening injectors where...

I tried all the suggestions. Couldn't find any restrictions or vent problems . I think I will disconnect the hose from the filter assembly to the pump and try pumping fuel into the line with a pump bulb I have used for syphoning. the bulb is from an outboard fuel line kit. Of course there...

Lately my JD will run ok doing some shredding or belly hanger mowing. However, after about 15 minutes power starts falling off fortunately I can make it back to the shop when it stalls and will not restart. I've changed the fuel filter although it didn't look clogged. Then it restarts and...

You can find gross problems with a volt/ohm meter like totally open circuit, but lets assume you have just a poor connection of .05 ohms which most meters can't measure. Assume 200A starting current and you get .05x200=10 volts drop in that connection and your starter will only click if you are...

Yes, its called ohms law. V=I x R, so if you have some resistance if the load current, I, is very small then the voltage drop across that poor connection, R, is very low. So under a low load your multimeter will show full voltage. As soon as you turn on something, light bulb, starter etc...

I had a similar problem on my jd2210. Seemlngly starter not strong enough. I think I caused the problem by using FE loader to lift some heavy stuff out of balance. It put the tractor into a twist. Due to that twist the gnd connection thru the frame was less effective. In the end I installed...

I agree with you. If you look at many cars you will see 2 neg cables. A smaller one goes over to the car body/frame and then another thicker one goes over to the starter so that the heavy starter current does not have to flow thru the body. On this tractor there is only one small short...

An update on my starter problem. I decided to take apart the starter to see what might need repair. Only thing I found was that the commutator was loaded with graphite which is kinda normal I think. Nevertheless I cleaned it and put it all back together. Put it back on the tractor and...

If all else fails try heat. Just a little at a time. If you have one of those infared temp meters (looks like a pistol) you can slowly heat it watching the temperature. Little by little. Start off low, like 200deg F. I think what happens is that the heat breaks the corrosion. If...

New one is $315... ouch, I have the most expensive starter for tractors it seems. rebuild $125- 185 local rebuilder who says that they have most denso parts. It is pretty difficult to rotate the starter gear must be a gummed up bearing inside. There are some interesting little covered vent...
