My local dealer has a 24 hr 4066R that has the hydraulic valve regen problem. With the boom fully retracted and the bucket sitting on the ground the curl cylinders will not extend to full dump. It won't lift the front end of the machine. The other compact deeres I've checked don't have this...

I posted this a couple of weeks ago in the operating section with no offers. So I'll try here. I bought a BX 2230 with a 60" MMM last winter. THe tractor and deck are in excellent condition with now 52 hours on the meter. I need to trade the deck for a 54" model. Is anyone interested?

I have a new to me, with 50 hours on the meter, BX 2230. The 60 belly mower looks brand new. I would like to trade it for a 54" deck. Anyone interested?

I recently purchased a nice BX2230. I have noticed that many of the light assemblys mounted at the base of the ROPS on these machines end up broken. The first time out mowing I almost broke one while manuvering around trees. I am wondering if anyone has reversed the mounting brackets and...

I have an opportunity to purchase a 2003 Bx 2200 with 96 hrs. Also included is a 60" MMM, a 48" bush hog brand rotary cutter, a front blade and a set of mounted ag tires. The tractor appears to be in very good condition. The owner purchased this new and is asking $6500.00 firm. Does this...

I am searching for some brush guards for my RC100. Posi-tracks and Hahns packages are kind of high and I believe other options are out there. Has anyone fabricated guards for the quick attach plate hydraulic lines and guards for the spaces in front of the battery and hydaulic tank? Also...

Should there be a "Shake before using" statement on the label of oil containers? I cut apart a bottle immediately after emptying it. It was a well known diesel rated brand. I noticed what appeared to be sediment in the bottom of the container. Does anyone know if this sediment is part of...

Although I have spent nearly my whole adult life around green and yellow equipment I still find hours of enjoyment and learning on this site. I am nearing retirement so I am gearing up some of my equipment. I have a 1999 model 4600 power reverser with a 460 loader. I am sold on a Fasse or WR...

Had a little mishap the other day. While in some thick brush I bent the high pressure hydraulic line at the fitting that mates to the pump. I considered brazing it back to stop the leak but decided to just purchase a new one instead. The JDparts website lists a skid plate kit, LVB25452, for...

I have a JD 4600 that is in need of skid plate protection. Has anyone made up their plates or know of a good commercial source? WHat I saw at the dealer did not cover the center portion of the tractor. To me that looked like it could cause more problems if a hard stick wedged between the plate...

I posted this in the JD forum and haven't gotten a response. Maybe someone here will provide some info. THe 3 pt. hitch on my 4600 with 470 hrs. has been dropping and returning. These drop and return cycles occur about every minute or so. The drop is about 1 to 2 inches at the tail wheel...

I stumbled on to this sight the other day. What a great source of info! I have a 4600 with 470hrs. Lately the hitch drops 1 -2 inches and recovers back all within about a minute. Fluid level is good and I see no outward signs of damage. Has anyone experienced this or know the fix?
