I have an older Shaver HD8 post driver hooked up to a Ford 4000 that is not working. The cylinder does not want to extend on its own. If I push up helping it a bit and pull single spool valve lever back the cylinder will lift slightly, approx. a couple inches to a foot. After that when I push...

I have both a JD 5300 and 5210 both with a single rear remote. The 5210 has float but the 5300 does not. Does the 5300 valve only need the longer cap to allow spool movement for float or will a longer spool be needed also?

I have a 1980 Ford 1100 diesel 2wd compact tractor. I started it up the other day to move and left it to warm up. When I came back to it it was leaking engine oil from the front of motor down onto front axle and dripped to ground. I haven't dug into it yet but was hoping someone here would...

I have the factory 7 pin round trailer/implement plug on the back of my 5210. I am looking to get 12V from it from one of the two accessory pins but there is no power at them. Does anyone know where the relay is or should be located for this? Thanks

I was flail mowing a few acres (2 hrs) of field yesterday with my 5210 sync reverse trans. and was temp outside was about 80 degrees. When I was done mowing I took a short road trip back home. I noticed I had no brakes. The pedal would just push in with no brake whatsoever. Was not like this...

Does anyone have any photos of their Curtis Cab with soft doors on a JD 42/43/4400 model tractor? I bought a 2001 JD 4200 with this style cab but the front lower window above the hood is broken out of it. I would like to either replace or make a window to fit this spot but it appears to have...

Is there anything wrong with running a standard flow attachment with the hi-flow circuit IF the attachment specs are within machines hi-flow flow and pressure? Some attachments just say Minimum Flow 13 GPM in the spec. So could this attachment run off either std. or hi-flow circuit?

Does Bobcat have an online source to look up parts?

Neighbor of mine has a JD 750 and he pulls a finish mower behind it. When he turns the PTO on the tractor will not drive. If the PTO is disengaged, it drives slowly. Is this a burnt out clutch disk?

Does anyone have any experience wiring in a 7-pin electric brake/light connection on a 1995 Ford L8000 dump truck? I'm not even sure where to start on this truck.

Looking to buy a 6ft Harley Rake for a skid steer. Hydraulic angle. Looking in PA, NJ, MD

I have a Sullair 185 compressor and have a few questions about. I hope someone here can answer them. I have two photos. One of a aluminum piece that goes inline with the air line that says Lubricator on it. I dont know what it does or how to use it. The other of the cylinder looking piece...

Has anyone with a 110 TLB ran a Harley Rake with the loader? I am probably going to purchase a Harley Rake 72in to use on the skid steer and it would be nice to run it off the 110 if need be.

I am looking to buy a small 1 ton dump. I have been seen a few newer Chevy/GMC 3500HD with the 6.0L gas motors. What, if any, downfalls are there with the 6.0L gas in this size truck? I plan on pulling a 12K trailer with this dump from time to time.

I purchased a brand new 2011 John Deere 110TLB and it was delivered this morning. Very nice machine. Hydraulics front, back, rear remotes, qtach buckets.

I have a 2005 NH LS170 with 750 hrs on it. The last few days when I get it out to move snow it starts up, warms up, then I take it out and after a couple minutes it looses power and motor turns off. It will start right back up and then will do the same thing. Any opinions??

I am having problems with my 430 loader on my 4300. When raising the loader up in the air I leave off the joystick for a second the loader drops. Then when playing with the joystick a bit I noticed that if I pull back on the joystick slightly the loader will actually begin to fall instead of...

Found a 2000 JD 4400 just under 400 hrs., HST, loader, mid mower. What would be a good deal on this tractor?

I have been posting a few topics recently about a JD 110 TLB. I have been looking at a 110 that is without a backhoe. It has all the front and rear hydraulics, 650hrs, Top N Tilt 3pth, R4s, and a 2005 model year. I think over time I could find a backhoe attachment for it. Is 15K a bad price...

Currently I have a '96 Ford 545D industrial loader with 3pth and Bradco 611 backhoe. I am thinking of downsizing to a '05 JD 110 TLB with 650 hrs. Mainly because it is a pain to move the Ford around at 12-13K lbs. They are basically the same style machine just a big difference in specs. I...

I went to look at a used 110 today. While going over the hydraulics, I had to question a noise that was present. This 110 has the AUX hydraulics front and rear. The two solenoid rocker switches below the joystick. One with (l O) and one with (A B). When I switch the (l O) to (l) a noise...

I cannot get my JD 4100 to start. When I turn the key it just cranks. If I play with the PTO switch on the dash a bit, I can start it occasionally. I could hear the fuel solenoid right before I crank it and starts. When the tractor was working properly, I could here the fuel solenoid all the...

Looked at a used NH LS170 skid steer on dealers lot this weekend and have a question. It has aux. hydraulic line on the boom. How do you activate the hydraulics? The right hand control has a rocker switch with a picture of a cylinder and a 2 on it and the handle pivots in toward the operator...

Looking at a LS170 with 640hrs. I think it is an '04 or '05. No cab, aux. hydraulics, needs tires? Is $12,500 a deal or not?

I had to replace the throttle cable on my Exmark Lazer Z. It has the kohler 27hp motor, right hand throttle lever. I took the old cable off and replaced with the new cable. Now when I engage the CHOKE, the choke binds with the THROTTLE cable at the carb end. Next the motor wants to run fast with...

I have a Curtis snow plow that attaches to my FEL. It has a crossover relief valve from the factory. I contacted Curtis for the valve relief setting on my plow. They said that it is set at 1500psi at the factory. I then asked them if it could be adjusted. They said that I could turn the...

If anyone is interested, I called a local Deere today to see if Deere still make the BW14715 bundle for the 430 loader 3rd function. They claim that is a good number and is available. i read on here that Deere stopped making this for the 430 loader.

I have to replace the seals in one of the lift cylinders on my JD loader. I think it is due to lack of use. I was using it the other day for the first time in a while and it started leaking. Would it be a good idea to replace BOTH lift cylinder seals at the same time?

I plan on routing two hydraulic hoses from my rear remotes up to the cross-member between the FEL arms for a grapple and power angle snow plow. My tractor specs the max flow for the rear remotes is 8 GPM. Should I use 3/8" hose with 1/2" QC's or 1/2" hose with 1/2" QC's. Either way the hose...

I have three 12V lights that I am mounting on my tractor canopy. I would like to supply power to them via 1 wire up ROP and then 3 separate wires. One to each light. What is a clean way of splicing off the power supply to 3 different lights? Something like a terminal block or is there...

I am attaching a Meyer snow plow to my Ford 545D loader. So far I have a Euro quick attach frame built. The plow pins to that frame. I plan on adding crossover valve for my cylinders. My FEL does have the float option in the valve but I would rather the plow blade float (the loader arms...

I have a couple attachments for my 430 loader on my 4300 and plan on making a snow plow soon. I also have been thinking about upgrading to a 5000 series tractor with loader. So, I would like to add the two lower pins for the JD quick attach when I build this snow plow. I notice that there are...

Going to look at a 2003 JD 5105 4WD this weekend. I would like any comments good or bad about this model. Overall the 5105 doesnt seem too bad of a tractor. The only thing I am on edge over is the transmission. This particular tractor does not have a loader. I plan on using this tractor...

I purchased a trailer with electric brakes and would like to pick it up soon but I do not have a brake controller in my truck yet. What happens if I plug the 7 flat connector into my truck and pull this trailer? Will everything work except the trailer brakes or will the trailer brakes lock up...

What would be a good price range for either a 54in or 60in mid mount mower in good to excellent condition for a JD 4100?

My JD 1050 has been getting stuck between two gears when I shift and tractor wants to stall out. I have to take the shift lever cover off and align/adjust the shift forks by hand then all is well until it happens a number of times in while snowplowing. I replaced the detent ball bearings and...

Anyone know what front mount snow blades fit the 4100? Need the one that is quick interchange with the snowblower. Are the blades from the 700 series garden tractors the same? Can I reference a serial number anywhere online? Also would like to know how a mid-mount mower for the 4100 is...

I found a set of rear tires and rims from a Deere that are Firestone 14.9x28 with 13" Deere rims. I would like to fit them on the rear of my JD 1050 (standard: 13.6x28 on 12" rims). Anyone running that size know on their compact utility?

I have a cylinder from a dump truck bed that I mounted to a dump trailer. The cylinder has hose connections at both ends of the cylinder and a breather plug at the one end. Could this cylinder be either single or double acting? If I want to hook this into my rear tractor remotes, should the...

I would like to route compressed air along the walls of my shop (24'x30'). My air compressor (80 gal. horizontal) sits on a concrete slab out back on the other side of the back wall of the shop. Any suggestions on how to route the air into garage and what materials to use? I would like to...

Has anyone did anything to improve the hydraulics for the loader on a 950/1050? My loader (#80) just moves so slow. I know the pump is only putting out 6 or 7 i think GPM. I have changed the hydraulic filter.

My 1050 wants to pop out of reverse unless I keep my hand on the shifter. I took the cover off and found that that reverse shift rail does not want to slide all the way into position like the other rails. The fork appears not to be bent, the detent ball bearings are new as well as the springs...

I have a 918H flail mower that I am trying to change the flange bearing on the one side. I had to use a puller to pull the old bearing off the shaft. I thought the flange bearings were a slide on fit. The shaft dia. measures 40mm on the money, so did the old bearing. I bought a new 40mm...

My Ford 545D has been starting with absolutely no problems ever since I put a brand new battery in it. The other day I had to jump it to start it. The multi-meter was showing me less than 12V at the two battery posts while running. The alternator I think was putting out 19V. The dash light...

I am trying to figure out how to raise the 3pt hitch all the way up. It raises so far with the normal 3pt control lever to the right then I have to raise it the rest of the way with the small lever behind the seat. Once I get it fully raised with the small lever, it goes about half way down and...

When I put my JD 1050 into reverse and leave the clutch out the tranny pops out of reverse. If I hold the shifter in the reverse position, the tranny will stay in reverse but as soon as I let go pops out.

I need to replace the clutch in my 1050. The PTO clutch seems fine, though I will be replacing that clutch disk also while I am in there. I never fooled with a dual stage clutch before. My plan is to replace the tranny clutch disk, pto clutch disk, pressure plate, bearings. Are there two...

I have the opportunity to buy a John Deere 1050 4wd compact utility with No. 80 loader for less than a $1,000. The tractor needs a clutch for sure. The motor starts and runs good. The loader operates fine also. Besides the clutch needing to be replaced, the sheet metal front nose is pushed...

I am looking to buy a new trailer to haul cars and equipment. Not sure if I want a skid steer construction trailer or a car hauler type. The car hauler usually has dovetail, which causes a problem when exiting from my driveway and I am not a fan of the pullout type ramps. The skid steer...

Will plowing 10 acres of NEPA soil with a 3 bottom plow hurt the transmission in my Ford 545D with 8x8 shuttle transmission?

Is it common for the swing cylinders to 'leak down' like the boom cylinder does after a while of no operation? I noticed my backhoe had swung to the one side while parked sideways on a hill.

I finally received the mounting brackets for my Bradco 611 backhoe. Here are a couple pics on the Ford 545D.

I recently purchased a Ford 545D loader and have been plowing snow with it a couple of times. Today while driving it the 8x8 shuttle tranny cuts out and tractor stops moving. All I have to do is press the pedal to the dump valve and release it then it will move. This happened quite a few...

What model Gresen valve sections (V20 or V26) are in the Bradco 509, 609,511,611 backhoes?

One of my main concerns when looking at tractors with loaders is the loader lift capacity to full height. I see that most compacts have on average 1000# to 2000# lift capacity. I ask myself is 2000# enough. Oh, and I am aware that these machines are not full size pieces of equipment. What is...

Does New Holland make a TN series tractor that is comparable to the older Ford 545D tractor/loader. I know my 345C is built like a rock and seems that anything I do will not break it. Loader specs and Hp are my number spec to compare, 5000# lift to full height & 60ish Hp.

Can someone with a 32LA loader measure the boom width at the bucket mount? Maybe an inside dimension as well as an outside dimension. Thanks.

I just ran my flail mower (bought used at auction) for the first time. It cuts 91 inches. It is surprisingly loud compared to my JD 5ft rotary mower. As far as know while running it nothing is hitting or binding. It cuts really nice too. I figured that the flail mower would run quieter than the...

Can the hose from the PB port on my loader valve be replaced without the loss of all the hydraulic fluid in the reservoir? I am assuming that as long as the tractor is not running, there is no fluid in that hose.

The seal on the dipper cylinder is squirting fluid when I move that cylinder. The backhoe is a Bradco 11HD. How harf they to replace? Could I do it or should a shop?

I need to get a PTO shaft for my Ford/NH 918H flail mower. I bought it with half the pto shaft missing. Max Hp for the mower is 70hp. I will be using it with my 52hp Ford. Before I measure for a shaft should I add a slip clutch or is it unlikely that I will need one with a flail mower. Also, can...

I took a job spreading stone and digging a few rocks from a house a couple miles down the road. I am a little nervous because I will be using my Ford 345C TLB. As some of you already know, I split one loader valve and broke one hydraulic pump with the addition of the Bradco backhoe. I have since...

I have a Cross 2-spool valve with power beyond that I fit to my tractor loader. When I raise the loader up into the air all the way the valve makes a squeal noise and I could feel it in the joystick. Why is this? The original valve (w/o PB) just made the noise of the engine going under load...

Does anyone have a movie of your backhoe attachment in operation. I just got my Bradco 11HD running off my Ford tractor. I have ran full size backhoes before but the Bradco seems as though it cant do some things. It really has a hard time swinging side to side when bucket is on the ground or...

OK, I bought a new hydraulic pump for my Ford 345C and also a new loader valve after breaking both in the process of adding a Bradco bh to this tractor. I replaced the pump and that is buttoned up. Now I am awaiting my new Cross 2-spool valve with power beyond to come in (I got TOP porting for...

After replacing the loader valve with a new loader valve with power beyond on my Ford 345C to run my Bradco backhoe, I added a selector valve to the system. Well not ten minutes into operating the backhoe the front mount engine hydraulic pump shaft broke from the pump. What the heck is going on...

I am trying to figure out how to route hydraulics for a backhoe attachment for my Ford 345C tractor. I attached some photos of the loader valve, which I would like to run some sort of 'Power Beyond' setup cause the pump is pumping 26gpm and the remote cover that is on the top cover of the...

Does anyone know what a Bradco 11HD backhoe attachment is worth or a good price for one? The condition is excellent to good, comes with 24" and 12" buckets, has flow control for swing, grouser pad stablizers.

Is there normally state sales tax on tractor attachments bought from a small used equipment dealers?

I have a Ford 345C tractor loader with a 26 GPM hydraulic pump to run the loader. I would like to carry that to the backhoe with a power beyond setup through the loader valve. My dealer tells me that the 26gpm flow is too much for a Bradco backhoe attachment. Is this true?

Does anyone know what Ford backhoe model fits on the Ford 4500 TLB's?

Here is my Ford 345C that I want to mount a backhoe to but cannot figure out which brand I want. I really want a Bradco 611 but I seem to find plenty of Woods 1050 models near by. If I were to get the 611, I would have a subframe fabbed up for it. If I got the Woods I 'think' that I can attach...

I just got a set of pallet forks for a skid steer quick attach and want to convert them to fit my JD 4300 with 430 loader. What is the best way of doing so?

I am wanting a backhoe that I can attach to my tractor, a Ford 345C. I am leaning toward a Bradco but have the Woods 1050 in mind also. What brand do most of you feel is the best made for hard work? The whole three point hitch mount or sub frame mount is not my concern. Let me know what brand...

Can a 2wd Ford 345C tractor be converted to a 4wd with bolt on parts or is there something majorly different?

I have a Ford 545C industrial tractor/loader. I am looking at getting a backhoe attachment for this tractor. The backhoes that I am looking at are the Bradco 609 and Woods 1050. These weigh around 1800lbs. The tractor weighs around 7000 lb or a little more. I know that the subframe system is...

I have read that hydraulic PTO pumps are preferred for backhoe attachments rather than remote hook-ups. My 345C has a 26 GPM pump for the loader. That is way more than the a 10-12 gpm pump on the PTO. Is it possible to get that pump to pump fluid back to run to a backhoe attachment?

Can backhoe attachments that are setup for skid loaders be converted to a subframe of a tractor easliy? I guess I am asking if the skid steer mounting plate unbolts from the backhoe frame to reveal the hookup for a subframe. I see that Bradco claims that certain models fit both skid steers and...

Does anyone have a Ford model 764 or a 753 backhoe attachment that could explain how it is mounted to their machine. I have a 1990 Ford 345C (new to me) and would like to find a backhoe that fits on it. I have seen the older 445 and 545 with what looks like a Ford 753 full size backhoe on it. I...

What might the value be of a 1990 Ford 345C loader tractor. It is diesel, 2WD, 1130 hrs, real good shape, has good tires, loader, PTO, drawbar, and 3 pt hitch. How much lift capacity do the loaders have and what is the Hp of the 345C? Does Ford make a backhoe for the 345, 445, or 545 chassis?

Does Frontier make pallet forks for the JD 430 and 460 loaders or does JD make two different styles? I have seen two different designs of pallet forks that claim to be JD brand. One, the forks slide along round bar and two, the forks adjust by specific notches cut into flat bar. Does anyone know...

Are the mounting brackets on the snow plows for the JD 400 series tractors the same as the 300 series tractors? In other words, will a snow plow from a 400 series fit on a 300 series tractor and are the hydraulics the same?

I have an opportunity to buy an International 260A backhoe with a D239 engine and hydro tranny for around $1900. I only want it for around my small farm. I am told that the diesel motor has antifreeze in the oil pan but runs, the backhoe only moves up and down not side to side, and the front...

I've been having a problem with my 4300 syncrev. When I push the lever forward and let the clutch out the tractor either doesnt move or creeps forward until I push the clutch pedal again. Then the tractor will jerk and seem to be okay. The reverse is fine though. I stopped at the dealer today...

Does anyone know where I might be able to get a whole new seat suspension assembly for a 4300? I really dont want to go to the dealer and get a brand new one. I have been looking on ebay.

I was driving through some of my open fields where the ground was quite bumpy and my seat suspension completely gave in. It seem that there are plastic threads on the seat comfort adjustment and all of the threads sheared off their shaft and now I have piece of wood under the "scissor" brackets...

Will a Bradco 609 backhoe attachment fit on a JD 4300?

Every time I pull out in Forward with my JD 4300 the tractor jurks. When I select reverse and let out on the clutch, it moves fine with no jurks. I did adjust the linkage for the SyncRev lever down on the right hand side near the clutch. I adjusted it in favor of the forward position. Sometimes...

I am looking into buying a tandem axle trailer to haul my JD 4300 around. Some trailers that I have been interested in the seller has stated that the trailer has brakes but they dont work. This problem has come up on more than one trailer that i have called about. Why do so many trailer brakes...

What problems would I have running a tiller that is recommended for a tractor Hp rating of 15-25hp and 540 pto on a tractor with 35hp with a 540 pto?

When I push the SyncReverser lever forward and leave the clutch out on my tractor it sometimes does not want to move. I have to tap the clutch one more time and it will grab and will then move the tractor forward. I have no problems when pulling the lever back and going in reverse. So, I would...

Does JD make a cover for the mid PTO on the 4000 series tractors? What is the part number? Before I bush hog anything, I want to have my mid pto covered. I have seen two Kubotas used for cutting in tree fields ruin their mid pto from high grass getting tangled around the pto.

I just notice tonight when the sky got dark out that my JD 4300 was shooting sparks out the exhaust. I was doing some loader work around my garage and noticed every once in a while a couple sparks shooting out with the exhaust. What is going on here?

I have a 16Hp Briggs opposed twin motor on a late 80's Simplicity. I finally got the motor to start and now I cannot get the thing to run smooth. I have followed the manual on how to adjust the carb. i first started at 1-1/2 turns out and adjusted more lean and it runs a bit more smooth. But...

How much should I expect to pay at a dealer for a JD 48 backhoe for my 4300? I plan on buying new. I have PowerBeyond on the tractor already. Should I let the dealer install it?

I have a 2.5GPM pressure washer with Honda 5Hp motor and DeVillbiss pump. I turned it on to use and it worked for 1 min then the pressure quit and only sprays mist. I took everything off that I could to check for something clogging it and found nothing. Im not sure how i would tell if the...

I have been thinking about buying a 48 backhoe for my JD 4300. What is a good price for one NEW and USED? I have the power beyond on the tractor already. Who makes the John Deere backhoes? Bush Hog look to be the same thing. How are their prices NEW and USED? I have heard that one maker offers a...

I just bought a Dearborn 19-42 loader (jungle gym type) and was wondering if anyone has one or one like it on their Ford N-series. Mine looks to be strong and heavy. I never had a loader on my 2N yet and i am wondering how it will handle it.

I cannot get the motor to start. I have 100 lbs of compression in both cylinders. The carb was rebuilt with the kit from briggs. The fuel pump is pumping gas. There is good spark. I can only get the motor to start by placing my palm over the top of the carb with choke applied and turning the...

My friend uses his 316 with 49 blower on his gravel driveway and it is constantly sucking up gravel. The gravel is at most 1/2 inch in size. The hydraulic cylinder on the lift seems like it can only pick the blower all the way up or lower it all the way down. It takes some time to get the blower...

I have a 10 gallon tank sandblaster that DOES NOT work. It has the ridiculous little valve for a gun. Is there something that I might be doing wrong. It blasts for one second and stops. The tip is not clogged. I have a 26 gallon air compressor at the other end. Anyone know of a good but fairly...

I have the rear hydraulics on my 4300 for the backhoe setup. I was wondering if I can use that hookup and run hydraulic lines up to the loader for use with a snowplow or grapple. I think the mid mower uses that to lift. If not what is the easiest way to add hydraulics at the front of the loader.

I have a Simplicity 5212 lawn tractor. It has a 5 speed sliding manual tranny. When I put it in gear it doesnt do anything for a second or two after I let the clutch out. It also jumps out of gear when moving. Is the tranny shot or is there something else?

I have seen many JD 4000 series that have the front wheels mounted with the offset closest to the tractor. Making the width from wheel to wheel longer. Does your wheel placement matter? Could this hurt the tractor in any way?

I have a Quick Hitch on my Jd 4300 and I can't use it with some of my implements. I would like to modify my implements for the top link to fit. Did anyone else do this before?

I just bought a John Deere 503 5" rotary cutter to pull behind my Ford 2N. When I raise the 3pt hitch while using the mower, the pto shaft hits the top corner edge of the mower. Is this common? Is there anything I can do? As of now I can only raise the 3pt hitch to max when the pto is...

I just stopped by the loccal tractor supply yesterday looking for a 5 or 6 foot finsh mower. I saw both sizes made by King Kutter. I have to say, they dont look too durable. Neither do any of the implements by King Kutter. Anyone have any comments?

Are the loader buckets on the John Deere 430 and 460 FELs the same. Do they mount to either loader?
