Hey guys, I was driving my JD4300 which is stored outside under a tarp and has had very limited use this summer. Started up fine, drove it approx. 100 feet and it just stopped driving. Lost the hydrolics to the bucket as well. Doesn't move at all. You have to forgive me as I know next to nothing...

I have a JD 4300. When I take the bucket off the loader arms I notice one arm retracts and extends much slower than the other. I unplugged the quick release plugs and wiped them down (didn't spray with WD40 though). Should I redo that and try again, or other thoughts? Thanks! Les

I've heard both ways now. Could someone tell me which is the shear pin on my Puma64 3ph mount? I purchased my Puma 2nd hand without any manual. Guy I bought it from had a grade five 1/4" bolt in the shaft closest to the blower. I've just read that it is not supposed to be a shear pin there, but...

I've searched and tired of reading through posts. SO... this is my problem. I have the Pat's Easy Change system on my JD. I don't have the instrucions for them. To release, you have to pull up on the lever. As you lift lever on easy change up, the piece that holds the implement in place is...

""3 PT DRAWBAR "HANDI HITCH" TELESCOPING BOOM POLE COMBO"" Anyone heard of these? I saw it on ebay and it really looks like a great idea. It has several other attachments they sell that attach to it too. Shorter boom, tool carrier and I believe there was a couple more. Here is a link to the...

Just checking to see if anyone uses axel straps to tow tractor. I know many that use them for cars and love them. I'm looking for a way to set up D rings or something that won't scratch the paint off the tractor. These seem like the perfect option. They are designed for towing vehicles that...

I tried searching but came up with nothing. I hooked up my bush hog and noticed that the blade was spinning slowly when I started tractor. I engaged then disengaged, but pto kept turning(pretty slowly, but doesn't stop) Any ideas what to do? I'm thinking this might be a shop fix, but hoping not...

I know you guys have a bunch of innovative ideas for tractor storage and workshops. I have to leave my truck outside for now. I'd love to see what everyone does with their tractor and also your workshops! "note" The intent of this thread is so you can show off your ideas. Oh yes, it is also so...

Everything works fine on bucket most of the time. Every now and then it will stop several inches shy of a fully dumped position. If I move it around for a minute it will clear up and dump fully. Anyone have a similiar thing happen?

With Propane and Oil prices rising like they are, I'm considering buying an outdoor wood boiler. I have plenty of land to cut wood, but I was wondering if anyone had any good / bad experiences with one. I'm not sure what brand yet, I have only looked at wood doctors. Combined last year, I spent...

I'm just curious what those of you do who work your tractor for a job. Do you have an LLC and a form of liability ins, or just a liability insurance.

I posted a question reference battery issues with my Dad's JD L110 under lawn equipment. I didn't want to double post (though I'm not sure why they frown on that) but didn't want to miss anyone here that would be able to help. Thanks!

My dad has a JDL110 new last year. -took battery out last fall -put battery back yesterday -No power to L110 -bought new battery today and installed it -still no power My question, is there a switch he has to hit before powering up battery? Is there a secret? He doesn't have owner's manual

I had some branches scrape across the hood and leave a few scratches. They are not real deep, but they don't wipe out. I was wondering what everyone does to buff out their scratches? (or am I stuck looking at them until they annoy me enough to buy a new hood) What type of wax works best for...
