Hello all, I have a 1998 Deere 770 with MFWD. I purchased it used 15 years ago with original R1 rears (Firestone field & road 12.4-16) and replaced the fronts when I bought it with Carlisle 6-12 farm specialist R1s. The fronts are starting to fail, and the rears are finally dry rotting, time to...

Wife has said she wants to ride while I mow - not sure if that's a good thing or not... But we are also likely to have foster kids in the house soon and some tractor time for them might be a good thing once in a while. I don't really need or want a full-size ag tractor - I do alot of trail...

Not sure if this is good news or not...but my wife has asked me how big of a tractor I'd need in order to get a 2nd seat so she can ride around with me when I mow, etc. My first reaction (which I suppressed) was to say no way - that's my tractor time you're messing with here... But I'm also...

Hello, I have an old JD 513 shredder that I never tested the PTO slip clutch until yesterday. It was totally bound up, so I pulled it off and separated all the parts. They came apart pretty easily. I've watched some videos about reassembly, and it looks like alot of guys polish these discs...

Hello, Getting read to take delivery of a Woodland Mills chipper for my JD770. I've used my tractor for mowing, box blading, post hole digging, and always hated the process of mounting attachments on the cat 1 3 pt. Just tedious, and a lot of banging / skinning knuckles. Has anyone used a...

I need to replace a piece of junk riding mower for mowing around house and barns, driveway, etc (about 2 acres). Mostly level, although I do have a few gentle slopes to work around. I use a JD770 for pasture mowing and really hilly terrain. My budget for this is $3000-$5000, of course cheaper...

Howdy, I have about 6 acres of timber (mix of hardwood and cedars) to maintain on 12 acres in central TX. Have riding trails cut throughout so I知 constantly stacking brush, small trees, etc (usually 4 or less in diameter). I had a old craftsman chipper shredder that I just sold off so I could...

Hello all, Can anyone tell me what a fair price is for a 1983 317 mower with a 33 tiller? Tiller seems to be in good working order, plenty of life left in tines. Old engine was replaced with a Kohler KT17 Series 2 with full pressure lubrication system. Appreciate any advice.

Hello, I have a JD770 with rear hydraulics installed. A friend has offered to help me build a hydraulic splitter for firewood. Anyone have a design (or even a photo) they can share? Needs to be smallish so I can lift it with my 3 pt. Thanks!

Will be receiving a bunch of sod soon for a new lawn. Any 770 / 790 / 3005 owners have pallet forks that you like? 3 pt or bucket mount? Pics would be great.

Hello all, I'm going to replace the trashed seat on my 770. Easy enough to get the replacement from Deere, but is there a better option out there for a 770 / 790 / 3005? Perhaps one with armrests, etc?

Hello, one of my front wheels on my 770 just won't hold air. After I bought the tractor I had new R1s put on the fronts. Tire shop had a hard time getting one of them to seal up because of a previous weld repair on the inside lip of the rim. It's still not holding. Any idea what part # is...

Hello - try to get a feel for what my 770's limitations are. Couldn't find anything in owners manual to tell me how far my 770 can tilt without rollover. I'll probably be operating with 70 loader and 5' rotary mower most of the time. How far can I go without a near- death experience? On a...

I recently bought a 770 4x4 for mowing, brush clearing and loader work. It needs new front tires. Any recommendation? Pictures would be great!

Hello. I've been doing some mowing with my new (to me) 513 mower. The back wheel on the mower isn't rotating freely so it's dragging when I turn and making ruts. I tried to grease it but couldn't get grease to go in. Took out the zirc fitting and it's ok. I think it's just jammed up inside...

Hello. Still reading manuals about my new (new to me) 770. Apparently this tractor was sold with an optional rear work light. Anyone have one? Does it require any electrical modifications? Are they still available? Pictures would be neat if you have one. Thanks!

One more question - after I purchased this tractor, I called the dealer who sold it with the serial number to see what they could tell me. Dealer says that this tractor has "dual SCVs," which they say means it was delivered with the rear hydraulics already installed. I'll be darned if I can...

Hello, Just purchased a '98 770. Runs great, but I need to replace some parts and don't really want to pay dealer for new parts. Anyone out there have a dead 770 for parts? Also looking for parts for a 513 rotary mower. Thanks! Nick

Hi, Just bought 11.5 acres, need a utility tractor for mowing, drilling fence posts, moving round bales, etc. Just saw a 2006 Mahindra 3525 with 230 loader, 6 foot shredder, post hole auger, bail spear and box blade for $9,500. No apparent damage, 255 hours. Owner says hasn't had any...
