Been thinking about a few things, and I'm in need of a pic of how a 2011 4x20 Cab machine looks out back with the new EH 4th & 5th Valves...I've scoured the countryside hitting every dealer around...no pics....About the only thing I've been able to see is the 3rd SCV Setup... Anybody have ANY...

I've been wanting more rear hydraulics since I bought my 3520...always wanted to plumb an Solenoid Valve bank into a PB Circuit...I've got a cabbed machine, so I dont have the luxury of some of the super slick Open Station installs I've seen here...Anywho, so now I'm thinking of just biting the...

So now that the snow is almost all gone, its time to start thinking about dusting off the ol Tiller...every year around this time of year I think about the need to make my Sovema RP-180 iMatch compatible...Last spring I had some brackets Plasma-CAM'ed out...thats done. Whats left is to debate...

So I picked up a Kubota GL-6500S Generator in like new shape..BUT it needs motor work. So before tearing into it, I'm just wanting to get a lay of the land as far as money goes...sometimes its cheaper to just remove & replace rather then repair :( What if any is a repower option on a ZB-600...

http://www.mahindra.com/Admin/tmpupload/Yuvraj%20215%20%20set%20to%20revolutionise%20the%20tractor%20industry.pdf All I can say is....Seriously? I'd hate to see one of the "basic" machines....:laughing: I suppose when you count them on a unit basis, yeah, selling machines like this, they...

Here's the scenario... Last week I picked up a 2 bottom IH Fast Hitch C-20 plow..pics attached. At first the game plan was to chop it up and modify it for 3pt use. BUT, my sentimental side kicked in and I am having a hard time bringing myself to chop up a vintage plow which is in such good...

Came up in another thread...so I figured I could start an official thread, just post what you got for "work machines" and what you got for acreage...I'll start: 3520 Cab @ 37 hp F935 @ 22 hp 59 total HP on 2.2 Acres = 29.5 HP per Acre.

Just a thought....Instead of calling this forum the Welding Forum, why not call it the "Metalworking" forum? Seems like we discuss topics ranging from Bandsaws, Plasmas, milling machines, etc...

Recently got this new "accessory" for mine...Love it! Milwaukee/Dewalt portaband modular mounting system.

I've got a larger garden...not a Field my any means....but what I'd consider to be a good sized garden. I spent the day Saturday weeding the bleeping thing (wife is 11 months pregnant so that leaves me as a 1 man band in the garden) and my legs are still killing me this morning :laughing: So...

With all this talk about power beyond it brought up a question I have... Is it possible to utililize the PB while the tractor is in motion? I'm guessing on a PR equipped machine its no problem but how about a eHydro? For the sake of arguement I'll use this example.....I install a valve bank...

Last fall I posted pics of my Power Rake Build ALMOST done...I hadnt had time to build the Barrier and work on the Gauge wheels was in progress...tonight before hooking up the tiller I put the last touches on it... Played around with it a little...works AWESOME. I can see why a PR is so desirable.

What do you guys use for cutting fluid/coolant when using stuff like holesaws, large drill bits, annular cutters, etc...? I've been using Dish Soap & Water, which works EXCEPTIONALLY well.. Using it I can keep holesaws sharp forever even after drilling hole after hole in 1/2" thick steel...

In doing power rake work for a yard, do you guys find any "perfect" General setting for the barrier.... Why I'm asking is I'm working on building the barrier for mine... I can go complex and make a "tool less" adjustable one, or I can go simple and make a "fixed" one which would require tools...

So I'm inching towards pulling the trigger on a plasma....I'm still debating on weather or not its even worth it to me, but I'm at least wanting to finalize what I want if I do decide to go ahead. What I'm looking at... Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster 52 vs Miller Spectrum 875 I was sold on the TD...

Talk me out of this or confirm my thoughts....been thinking because after "fixing" my Sovema tiller to be iMatch compatible I plan on painting it so I figured I'd do all the mods in one shot....what do you guys think about welding a bung to the bottom of the chaincase so I can easily drain &...

Would anybody have any pics of a 246 Broom? I'm in the process of "restoring" one I picked up last fall but the previous owner modified it in a way which I'm not too happy about so I'd like to get it back close to factory. Where i'm stuck is on the angling setup. Mine is for a F-Series front...

I need to modify my Sovema to be Quick Hitch compatible...the Current lower link does not enough space behind the pin for my QH hook... been browsing around and saw pics of a Land Pride RTR1558 and the lower lift link brackets it has... Does the land pride utilize a 2" toolbar? Secondly is it...

I'm 99% sure I found this pic here on TBN a blue moon ago but cant find it again.... Where can a person find a "furrowing shank" or whatever you call it like in the middle of the attached pic? I've got 2 furrowers I'd like to put on my toolbar but cant find shanks... Thanks for any help.

Was looking thru a JD flyer I got recently and saw a pic of an Orbital type (like Optima or the Exide Orbital Select) JD Strongbox battery...searched it and sure enough, looks like it exists: Batteries : Spiral Energy™ Dunno what sizes they have in the "Sprial Energy" series, but it might be an...

My dad has a friend who has an old 3pt/60" Brillion overseeder....been "retired" outside for 5+ years....I dont have pics but looked it over a bit...seems rough, but could be fixed...chains, sprockets, etc all need to be replaced...sheetmetal is banged up but all there... He'd sell it, shot a...

So I spent the day yesterday getting the ol 3520 Cab ready for snow season...dunno if its just me but the 3pt doesn't seem to raise as far as it used to Travel specs are as such (3520 Cab/Large R4's) -Lower Position: 8.5 off the ground to Center of lift link hole -Upper Position: 25 off the...

Putting the final touches and "attachments" on my power rake and was wondering about the rubber deflector/barrier. Common sense (for lack of better terms) has me thinking this is a "set it and forget it" thing...Why would a person want it opened up all the way? I've tested out the rake with NO...

After many months of working "here & there" on it, she's finally "done" to the point of being able to be called a power rake...tested her out and she works beautifully. I still need to build the end plates, gauge wheels and the rubber deflector over the drum, but quite honestly with the weather...

So I'm thinking of getting a trailer....not in a "hurry" just more or less formulating what I want/what I need/what to look for... In my head for the longest time I wanted a 20' or 21' tilt deck.... 16' Tilt/4 or 5' Stationary... Went to local trailer dealer and they only had a 16' Tilt on the...

Doing my 100 hr change of transmission oil, etc...Question on the front axle... Conventional wisdom on gearboxes or differentials is Gear oil is best...I know JD lists the reccomended fluid as Low-Viscosity HyGard as the oil of choice...but IMO isnt that a little thin for a "Gearbox".... I dont...

I'm in the process of deciding what I want for a garage/shop.. something on the order of a 30x40 building of some sort...either Pole or Stick built. Probably the final decider will be cost.. I'm planning on this being a 100% DIY project no matter which way I go... I've been googling for 2 days...

The thread not too long ago about checking your cab air filters got me to checking it for the first time....A/C Was blowing cold so I was just checking it for grins more then anything....filter seems dirty a bit, and even after cleaning it with compressed air it still "Looked" dirty...The filter...

I've got a Woods GB65 which I wouldnt mind repainting...is Identical to the "older" Frontier BB1065 which was made by Woods... Question & Options I see: A) Paint it original Woods "orange" with Woods Decals B) Paint it JD Green with Woods Decals C) Paint it JD Green and use the Frontier BB1065...

Suprised nobody noticed this new addition to the frontier lineup.. John Deere Ag - New Equipment Features for SB21 Series Loader-Mount Snow Blower Nice powerpack setup...

Still working on building my Power rake..its coming along nicely...Question, How necessary are the "end Caps" for them? From a user standpoint who has never used a power rake, I cant see the need for them...but I sit here saying "most of them come with the end caps so they must be...

So I think I've found an affordable 12v Solenoid controlled valve bank to use in my PB Circuit...before buying it I'd like to know what exactly I should be looking for in terms of GPM Flow, etc... Tractor its going on is a 3520

Weather here has been so nice lately, we've been putting the garden in at a record pace....this is the first year we've had a 3pt tiller, and we're loving every minute of it. One thing that is getting old is making the rows by hand...I've seen the 3pt hiller attachments, but what I'm really...

I'm going to be needing to "Expand" my Rear SCV abilities on my 3520 soon and was wondering if this is a viable valve bank for use in such a system..I'm not a fan of the stupid JD Diverter setup, I want "Real" valves...going electric solenoid valves because of the fact I have a cab machine. What...

I'm in need of what is apparently a "Special" PTO shaft/clutch combo. What I'm in need of is a PTO Shaft with an integral Yoke type clutch like this: The clutch end needs to be 1 3/8" with a Keyway ....obviously on the tractor end it needs to be a 1 3/8" 6-Spline QA. Because this is for a...

What exactly are the differences between a Slip Clutch and a Overload "Ratchet" Clutch?

I have the opportunity to purchase a 72" Sovema tiller from a local dealer for $1,000.... Machine looks very cosmetically rough, but mechaniclly seems in sound shape, the tines are in good shape (4 Tines per flange)...of course I dont know if its the 18th set of tines on it, but overall not too...

Some of you may know I'm getting the parts & materials together to build myself a 3pt hitch power rake. I've been debating for 3 months now how to drive it... A) Mechanical Drive - Do like all the other MFG's and go with the good ol fashioned PTO/Gearbox/Slip Clutches etc... Simple & Effective...

Working on a project and I think the ticket to solving the last of my issues is acquiring a Tiller Gearbox...would need the complete gearbox assembly and extension tube/driveshaft for a 72"ish tiller...Any Tiller "Junkyards" or any sources that charge a little less then your first born & a...

Looking at the possiblity of designing a Auxillary Hydraulic system (PTO Pump, Resevoir, etc) which would closely mimic that of a skid steer so I could run attachments like a FEL Mounted Rotary Broom, etc... what would the Ballpark industry specs... PSI, GPM, etc... which encompasses the...

I'm in the market for a 3:1 Right Angle Gearbox for a Scratch Built PTO Powered Attachment I'm building.... I suppose a 2.5:1 would be fine... Thanks

Anybody else hear anything about the JD/Stihl marketing agreement? John Deere Announces Marketing Agreement with STIHL Inc. and STIHL Ltd. I've got my eye on a nice Deere backpack blower and I'm thinking now is the time to bite....

Have had my 3520 Cab w/300cx for 75 hours now...this weekend while plowing I noticed that my loader "Felt" & Seemed loose...when you pick it up or put it down the Mast's seem to tilt inward & outward.... Promptly brought it into the garage and made sure everything was fully tightened to...

Was just wondering....does anybody use a "winter front" or Radiator cover during the winter months to help the engine/trans/etc... get up to operating temp? And in the case of a cabbed machine...help the heater blow hot air that much sooner...

How interchangeable are hoses/hose ends? Reason I ask is in the past I've just gone to my NAPA for custom hoses...they do good work, but man does it hurt the ol pocketbook (78.00 for 2, 3' hoses last time)...Working on my hydraulic chute rotator for the snowblower and i'll need a couple hoses...

Posted this in the Build it yourself forum, but I think It would be better here... Getting stuff together to hopefully build a 72" power rake....got a couple of questions.... -RPM, according to my research, the right angle gearbox used on the JD/Harley/Woods Rakes is a 2:1, and the chain drive...

Getting stuff together to hopefully build a 72" power rake....got a couple of questions.... -RPM, according to my research, the right angle gearbox used on the JD/Harley/Woods Rakes is a 2:1, and the chain drive is a 1:1...could somebody verify this? Land Pride seems to use a 1.93:1 Gearbox and...

How does one determine the correct length for a PTO shaft? Just got my new Blizzard B74 and Want to set it all up...the manual is so confusing.....measure this, then measure that, divide by the day of the month, multiply by you shoe size and then covert to Metric and voila :p Is there a...

After the postal delivery person hit the mailbox for the 4/5th time and finished off the door I decided it was time for a new one...found a "Super Heavy Duty" one made of 1/8" Plate Steel (weighs 34 lbs :D)....I've always wanted a Deere Mailbox but wanted "my own" custom version...so I painted...

Started a welding class last night...I can weld flat beads with no issues, but out of position is a whole other story... Anyway, I was thinking of making a toolbar that I could use for anything...mutliple shank subsoiler, ground drive planter units, disc hillers, etc... Is there a "standard...

Did my 50 hour Engine Oil Change and took the opportunity to take a pic of the Underhood service label... Looks like Deere now says to go 400 hours before doing the Transmission Filter & Oil... 2008: 3520 eHydro Do the other intervals out there jive with this?

Another Conflicting piece of info (Geeze I wish JD would set the record straight)....From the JD Site: John Deere Break-In Oil is recommended for the first 100 hours of operation in new, remanufactured, and overhauled engines. 50 Hour Engine Oil Change...what to change with... -JD Break In Oil...

OK...heres the deal, I've been agonizing over this for the past 2 days and I need some help! :rolleyes: I kinda want to pull the trigger sooner rather then later because of the "Pre season" sales... I'm torn between 2 Snowblowers: -Pronovost Puma 72, $2500.00 (20" Fan) -Blizzard B74, $2800.00...

While we're on the subject of Hydraulic Suction filters....I've got 40 hours on my 3520 so I'm getting ready to do the 50 hour Engine Oil Change...looks like the general consensus is not to mess with the Hyd oil for a little while longer...The dealer told me to change out the Engine Oil, but not...

Ok...heres the deal...working on a diverter setup. I kinda have to use a SPDT switch cause its the only factory switch I could find...working on a DPDT switch which would do away with the need for this post, but having a "Factory Looking Install" Trumps the switch issue..LOL Here's what needs to...

So, after breifly shopping for a 60 or 72" Core Aerator for my 3520 I've come to the conclusion that I can easily make a Super HD Version for way less then any I can find locally... Steel for Frame, Bearings, etc... I can easily source locally, etc... about the only thing I cant find are the...

I was typing out a response to 2YD about his quote on a 3520 and I got to thinking...mostly because it seems every post I make about pricing says "thats a bit higher then mine"....either I got a smoking deal, pricing has gone up, or the reality is somewhere in between... Has JD gone up that...

Is there a purpose to keeping the Tank Return - C on this pic...(Thanks MLIP for the pic on a previous post).... I'm considering the PB and was just gonna plug off the Tank Return...dont see a reason to disable the 3pt...even with a hoe on. If I'm correct, didnt the 955 PB kits only have 2...

So...I got to surfin TBN today at work, looking at power beyond, TnT setups, etc... Not saying I'm gonna do it this week, but I'm thinking about adding the PB kit to my 3520...hand in hand with that, I want to allow myself the ability to splice in another valve bank. Its a cabbed machine so none...

Mainly this pertains to "hydraulic options" such as the Power Beyond and 3rd Function Lines for the 300CX in my case...my 3520 is still freshly new and i've added options I wanted/needed already... Rear SCV went on last weekend, Rear wiper is in the near future, etc.. but for the moment and the...

Went to the dealer to pickup my 3rd SCV Kit and while there I saw a new 3520 Cab had been delivered, it had the 3rd SCV on it so I just wanted a visual on how it would go on mine...while looking out back there I saw a sticker which isnt on mine right by the fuel filler saying "Use Only Low or...

Been out tinkering in the woods...clearing up scrub and such, mostly just to add some more lawn to mow. And I was wondering this last night...is there a bolt on skidplate either from JD or the aftermarket which goes under a 3x20 series machine?

Been looking at adding a Hydraulic Toplink to my machine...In looking at the JD Specs from the parts site: 3.150" Bore 1.5" Rod 6" Stroke Closed Length: 19.25" Extended Length: 25.25" Does anybody out there have pics of the Factory Toplink Cylinder? Do these specs match up to reality? Just want...

In my job I'm often on the road...today I swung by a JD Dealer with which I dont normally do business with...I was looking for pricing on Snowblowers (I like to plan ahead :D ) We talk about a few shortlines like Pronovost which is the one I really want...and hear the best about...He then...

What kinda numbers can a guy expect to get on JD/Frontier Implements? Pay straight MSRP or is there some haggling that can be done? Any rule of thumb discounts? With the knowledge I gained from this site I can sleep good at night knowing I got my 3520 Cab at a great price.... Now I just need to...
