Does any one know what the proper torque for the head bolts are for this engine? It's a Yanmar 3TN75RJ. Rocker arm torque would be helpful too. :) Z

Is there a secret to cleaning out a post hole after you dig it? It seems like you have to dig about a foot deeper than you need the hole to be to allow for dirt to fall back into the hole. That is fine for shallower holes, but when you need to dig a 4 or 5 foot hole, maxing out the lenghth of...

I have an 09 4720 without the sight glass bowl on the bottom of the fuel filter. The manuel says to drain the filter then turn it a quaurter turn counter clockwise and pull down to release it. when I turn it(CCW) it only moves about 1/32 of a turn, not a full 1/4 turn. I have not drained it yet...

My 2010 DK45HST w/ 130 hrs on it has a problem with the 3pt. lift being very slow to rise after it is warmed up, aprox 30 minutes of working her, have to rev the engine up to get it to lift, and even then it is slow to respond or to lift. The speed of descent is OK. All other hydraulic functions...

Does anyone know the proper procedure to replace the knuckle seal on an 09 JD4720? I'm assuming that's what it is called, it is the pivot point where the front wheel turns, not the very outer wheel seal. This seal is about 4" in diameter. Just don't want to take anything apart that I don't have...

Can anyone confirm what the engine horsepower is on a 4720? There seems to be some confusion if it is a 58 or 66 HP engine :confused2: My owners manuel says it's a 58 HP, the John Deere web site says it's a 66 HP, Tractor Data.com says starting in 2009, the 4720 went from 58 HP to 66 HP at...

Just bought me an 09 4720 tractor. What a bad ***** machine:). Can ya'll tell me on the 3rd scv (or rear remote) there is a detented position on the forward position on the lever. It does not just hold the valve open like you might expect it to. The manuel says it is a float position and "it...

Anyone making plans to attend the National Farm & Machinery show at the Kentucky Expo center in Louisville Kentucky? It runs Feb. 15th thru the 18th. I will be going there and if any of ya'll will be there it would be nice to meet and say hello to fellow TBNers.:D

Can anyone tell me if Kubota makes or has made any hydrostat trans models with twin pedals vs a treadle pedal?:confused:

Does anyone know what is involved to replace the o-ring seals for the brake actuator lever at the rear differential? Do you just have to pull the lever off and there they are? Or is it more difficult and perhaps have to remove the housing on the differential and access them from the inside? Any...

My 09 CT440 creeps backwards when in gear without the reverse pedal being applied. Anyone know if this is a simple adjustment or something more serious:confused:

Does anyone know of a good and reliable tractor value guide? I found "the official tractor blue book" online, but want feedback from anyone that has used it. I also found Iron Solutions Inc. but they only do large ag tractors. I'm looking for something to appraise late model CUTS in particular...

I was contemplating buying a 2010 DK90 (Perkins engine) from a dealer with 190 hrs on it. One problem however, he states that it smokes on start up and also when under heavy load. Concerened about this because it is his own personal tractor, he contacted a Kioti rep about this condition. The rep...

I've been eyeballin' 50 hp cab tractors lately and noticed a large difference in the 3 pt. lift capacity 'tween the Bobcat CT450 and the Kioti DK50SE. The Bobcat specs out at 1870 lbs 2' rear of pins and the Kioti specs out at 2493 lbs 2' rear of pins. These tractors are suposed to be "twins"...

I pulled off my front wheels on my CT335 to drain out the front axle fluid for it's scheduled service, and lo and behold, all 12 lugs (6 per wheel) came off super hard as if the threads were stripped or stretched!:mad: Upon further examination it appears that the shoulder of the lug stud...
