All of a sudden, the lift handle on my JD 5203 is very stiff, almost frozen and will not go all the way up. I have kept it lubed regularly but someone told me that the grease fittings there aren't for the handle operation itself. I can raise the 3PH with the draft handle but not the main...

I've been looking for a good used FEL for my JD 5203 tractor for some time now and finally see an ad for one in the "Market Bulletin.'' It is a Bush Hog model 2400 QT and I was wondering if anyone on here is knowledgable about that model/brand's compatibility with my John Deere tractor. I...

I am looking at a used Koyker Model K5 Front End Loader with bucket and forks. I am wondering if it's compatible with my JD 5203 tractor, 2WD? It is availiable for around $1800 and looks in good shape. Any thoughts/answers are appreciated.

Hi all, I am trying to finish up a screen porch project I started two years ago and have just completed adding a small kitchen in the sheltered end. It's mainly 10' of countertop with nice oak cabinets which will have a 20''x20'' sink but no cooptop. I plan to purchase a very nice, high-end "hot...

First of all, let me say that I know very little about tractors, since I was raised around mules, not tractors. Anyways, I have a JD 5203 for 2 years now and love it but still learning. I have been slowly clearing a 2 acre strip by my house which was covered with mostly scrub oaks and large pine...

I am finishing the inside of my new screen porch with cedar tongue-n-groove siding, Tight Knot Select (TKS). I was wondering if anyone has any experience with a good sealant to apply to the surface. I have used Cabot's "Austrialian Timber Oil" on the decking and I really like this product but...

Hello, I need some adcice on gas logs. A few years back, I bought a manufactured house, basically a double-wide but with a 7/12 roof pitch and I have added a full porch on the front and earlier this year, about 1000sf on the back to include a 240sf expansion to my den. I bought the house with a...

I need a swinging drawbar for my JD 5203 and my local dealer tells me that it's $200.00. That seems exceptionally high as all I need is the drawbar, not the whole kit. I see where TSC and Agri-Supply carry one that is a Cat 2 30'' drawbar and less than $40.00. As near as I can tell from their...

I posted this in the ATV forum by mistake, posting here for better exposure. There's a guy in my area who has an almost new WR Long 4n1 UJ172, 6' FEL for sale. He bought it and mounted it on his Kobota (around 45-48hp) and found out that it's too heavy for his tractor. He's asking $2000 but...

Wrong forum, sorry, pls disregard. ?

I am looking at a used 6' JD Flail mower in decent shape. The only numbers I could find on it are F-2200, could that be the model number. The guy actually has two of them, one with a little more rust damage than the other but the other one needs a bearing ***'y on one end of the roller. He's...

I had to go under my house yesterday (crawl space) and came within about two feet of a huge snake, solid green background and black stripes longitudinal. The snake was curled between the cavities of 3 eight inch cement blocks. I last saw this kind of snake when I was growing up. I do believe...

I am going to raise the floor level of a concrete deck on an addon that I am doing to my den. I intend to use 2x4's flat and then upright. I want to glue the flat 2x4's as well as fasten with 3/8 tapcons and some ramsets. What is the best construction adhesives to use on this, would Liquid Nails...

I am doing an addon to my house which includes an expansion to my den. I had a 15x16 foot concrete deck off the back of this room so I built a roof over the deck and tied it back in to the house/den. Planning on taking wall out so will be one huge room. I had the deck built on concrete footers...

I have a JD 5203 with about 160 hours, I bought it used at 137 hours and was told "all fluids are ok." Well, I want to establish a base line and go ahead and change at least the oil and filter. I have heard and read a lot of good things about SeaFoam and went and bought some. I read on their...

I am new to tractors and equipment but I am learning. I tell people (the truth), I was raised around mules and not tractors, so bear with me. I bought a 20x16 6' Leinbach HD harrow and like it a lot but have a problem with the deep furrows it leaves. Someone told me that I could install...

I was talking with a guy last nite who has a 6' slightly used bush hog for $850 and he said he thought it was a Bush Hog brand but wasn't sure. He did say it is a "Tiger Cub" and I googled that and came up with a lot of Scag equipment. I was wondering if anyone knows of this bush hog and if it...
