I have a 4300 that needed some work. In the process of fixing everything I disassembled the seat base to paint it. Unfortunately both bolts snapped off in the powdered metal pieces that slide in the channels. I've soaked them in PB blaster, WD40, etc for weeks and drilled nearly the whole...

Thankful my tractor came with the 430. Not sure we could have gotten Frosty's head on with a 420!

I recently picked up a basket case Lesco commercial zero turn mower for cheap. Allegedly it had been sitting a couple years because the right hydro pump had died. They had the pump out already before I got it, and they couldn't find the pulley, fan, key, and nut to go with it. No big deal I...

I'm in the process of fixing my 4300 diff lock and while it's torn down I'd like to knock the rust off and re-paint the back end (maybe the whole tractor if the back goes well). I see that there are 2 (or more) types of JD black paint available, gloss and Blitz Black. John Deere Black Paint...

Hi guys, long time lurker first time posting. Last year I bought a 4300 with a loader. Then I started looking for a backhoe for it since I'll be building a shop soon. I ended up finding a 4400 with under 500 hours in better shape complete with a 430 loader, 48 backhoe, mid PTO, foam filled R4...
