Follow up: the JD 25A is together and back in operation. Pretty basic job once I got into it. My wife made a quick video of the overall process. Here's a link for anyone interested: As a general note, this video isn't meant to be a detailed how to, just an overview. For example, pictures...

Thanks leonz for your reply. I've checked with Cazenovia Equipment and Landpro Equipment, but not O'Hara.

Thank you to leonz and Tractor Tech for the help. Here are a couple of pics of the flail when I brought it home a couple of years. Actually, better shape as I cleaned it up quite a bit. leonz - as I've said that I have limited space and animals. As you can see, the unit is really clean and...

TractorTech, I do really appreciate your effort to help me! Yes, I have seen both those posts. The last link is the situation that I have on my flail. I saw leonz's post and then frankydp's post but frankydp never came back with what happened when he removed the bearing support and plate. No...

Thanks again for the reply. I've searched on this forum and others on the JD 25A drum/rotor bearing removal and it appears from the pictures that individuals are doing just one side at a time. That's why I'm looking for feedback from someone that has actually done it. Maybe I'm wrong? The...

Thanks for your reply. The bearing and support are in the inside of the frame. It looks to me that I have to loosen the bolts holding the bearing support bolts surrounding the bearing #20 in the attached diagram, then remove the bolts holding the large frame plate #8 and hopefully pull enough...

Looking for some advice and tips from individuals that have replaced the rotor/drum bearings. I read thru several threads and posts on the subject. Looking for a little more detail. I bought a really nice used JD 25A (2013 model year) several years ago and have only used it a couple of time...

Need to change the fuel filters on my 1754. Apparently, according to the dealer, there are two filters. Same filters fit a 1736 to 1759? Anybody changed their filters? Comments or advice? Thanks.

Looking for someone that has actually done their own hydraulic fluid service. Trying to remove suction filter #52 in the attached picture. Can't get it to clear the lower brace. Looks like the flange #50 has to be removed to get the suction filter to clear? Selling dealer doesn't know, never...

This is my first hydro tractor as I've always owned geared tractors. I've had some issues with the tractor's hydro operation. First, the tractor was overfilled when it arrived to my property by 1 1/2 gallons of hydro fluid. After a couple of hours of operation the tractor would buck in...

Going thru the manual it states to run the engine at full throttle for the first 50 hours? Obviously, you don't want to lug the engine but, running at full throttle seems both a waste of fuel and not necessary. I've always varied RPMs when breaking in a new engine. Thoughts please. Thanks.

Looking for the Massey part# for the subject rim paint. Thanks.

Took delivery of my new 1754 Hydro early yesterday afternoon. Did some loader work, so far, this thing is awesome! We run turf tires and dealer installed rims with valve stems on the inside. Inside valve stems not a problem but, the end of valve stems only clear the top of front axle housing...

Waiting for the delivery of my 1754 tractor. Dealer waiting on different tires and rims from Massey for the tractor. Apparently, Massey is really slow in shipping tire and rim packages!!! Brush guards on new 1700 series tractors seem pretty wimpy compared to my 1643. Dealer has been pretty...
