Hi Everyone.. I tried to post this in the marketplace but for some reason there is no "post new thread" button. Maybe I was just blind? Anyway, I have a NOS JD BM18046 rear hydraulic kit for auction on eBay. According to the instructions, This kit fits 770, 670 and 55 series machines. John...

So I managed to get it all figured out and I figured I would document my findings here for anyone else who wants to put R4 tires and wheels on their 1070. The 1070 had 2 choices for tires. Turf and R1. R4 tires were never an option from JD for this machine. Mine came with R1. It turns out the...

I am mainly posting this for google posterity in case anyone else ever runs into the situation and needs this part. On the JD 1070, there is a short stub axle/pinion that feed power from the rear differential to the final drive planetary gears. The JD part number for this part is M804666. This...

In my quest to find out how to get some R4 tires on my 1070, I found out that wheels from a 990 and a 4005 will fit on the 1070. Apparently some Kubota wheels will also fit but no one seems to know which ones. Anyway, this is somewhat good news since R4 tires were an option for both the 990...

I was noticing my new to me 1070 has 2 rockshaft levers. I suspect one of them is for draft control. Is it? If so, how do you use it? It is useful for keeping a box scraper level over undulating ground? Thanks, Michael

So my new to me 1070 has R1 ag wheels and tires. I'd like to find a set of turf wheels and/or tires with the eventual goal of putting R4 tires on them. Anyone have an extra set of 1070 turf wheels? Or is there a better way to do this that I am not aware of? Maybe a source for aftermarket...

Hi Everyone.. So I finally have a solution for the NLA right side sun shaft on my 1070. My local dealer managed to get the information from Deere to cross reference and get a part directly from Yanmar. Now that I have that sorted it out, it's time to fix up a few things on this "sweat equity"...

Hi Everyone! Longtime lurker, first time poster. I currently have a JD770 and I'm looking for a step up in size and power. I came across a Kubota M7500 for sale about 3 hours from me. It actually may have *too much* power but hey, maybe not! :) Anyway, this FEL is interesting. I have not seen...
