OT 66 Thx. I found the install manual in my file. That is it LVU24187A! Linda t. This is Part number. I did a parts look up but it did not come up. Good luck I could not find my invoice but same installation manual as OT 66 used

I assume you mean "unstuck :cool: What year is it? My 4720 is an '07 and the day I bought it (with only 215 hrs) and unloaded from the trailer I had trouble with it. There is an upgrade kit that goes on without too much trouble. I don't know what year this kit made it to production on new...

GD Both my wife and I had two Moderna shots but had not had a booster. I felt fine but was scheduled for a cortisone shot in my knee and when I got a screening call with the usual questions, I said I'm fine just I think my usual fall cold coming on. They canceled my appt. so that afternoon I...

Hah..makes me feel better

Well guys thx for comments...and sad fact it IS me! Took saw to friend a lot younger than me and he started it on second pull. I am 80 and two years ago at age 78 I could do what most 58 year olds could not do. Then in Nov 21 I tested positive for covid. Did not bother me until 4-6 weeks...

I have an 036..wife and kids bought it for me in like 1990-over 500 bucks then. Anyway been a good saw but now when I go to start it, almost like engine is frozen. Never had a fuel issue where I was too light on oil mix. New versions have a compression release but not this one. Been...

Have you given any thought to front tires only-obviously I'm assuming you have 4WD

Guys- just a follow up on this.. Used my Duraliner for first time the other day with demo from a kitchen counter rebuild. Glad I made that choice..throw sharp edged counter panels in with no concern about cutting.No doubt not as clean a look as a Line X but for my needs a better choice. Thx...

I do the $315 "Class IV Trailer Hitch- both plugs in bumper they give you a connector plug with 4 wires that I assume go to whatever off the shelf controller you buy. But I did see on You tube a guy setting up a 22 150 but mine is a late one 10/22 build and nothing like this guy had on his...

Hah- on same note Friday a pal is telling about me about someone who did a spray in on a good sized dump trailer. Quickly discovered that depending on material, cleanout is a problem. and I would imagine again depending on material your dump height may get higher as the load does not start...

Well guys a lot of opinions and a lot of pluses and minuses for spray ins-both brands -as well as plastic.. I was all set to go with Line X (I have a booked date in June) and then I thought about my aluminum bed 150. I frequently am moving a heavy PTO Valby chipper as well as a grapple and the...

(y)

Got my Line X Price..$625...scheduled for 6/29! Must be a good business:cool:

Guys..thx very much for all the replies...I'm getting pricing tomorrow on Rhino and Line X..I'll post . And I do like the idea of a mat over the liner. Not very expensive and expendable

Have to get a liner for F-150. Thinking spray in...Rhino or Line X . Any opinions?

Well I have wrestled with this for years. Any opinions on pros/cons of using skid shoes-circular or the square variety. Once my common drive (asphalt millings) has frozen, not an issue..but like this winter? We have gone from 13 below to days in the forties. and the frost is out of the surface...

Thx again guys- Max-24, I will send that to my PC. Still no response to my previous message. My PC is part of a big practice-at times I think too big-but the Portal they have is a good tool. Usually the PC's nurse or NP screens the messages and will follow up for more info

Guys, thx for your comments. I lost my wife to covid 11/24/21. She tested positive like 4 days after I did and was gone in 16 days. Me? it was nothing until about a month later when all of a sudden the lack of energy etc hit. She by the way was a bit of a health nut- had to get 10,000 steps...

Can't believe the money spent advertising this stuff. Anyone on TBN using it? I was thinking the other day...remember when TV spots were always pushing beer, smokes or detergents? Now it is one thing or another that is going to kill all your aches and pains or make you feel 20 years...

Well guys if TBN has an award for "dumb A.. of year I win. I pulled switch and confirmed switch not issue-rear work light lead was hot-and by the way front work lights worked. I then happened to notice on right consul the rear work light switch was "Off"!. I have always left that on as those...

Hoss, I got them thx but when I log on I get the website with a big you tube blurb in main body I have to get to threads in a round about way and then everything shows up in small print But in any case your first schem shows the work light as a separate switch. I'm not good with electric...

Guys, I am having trouble accessing siote. When I bring it up I get a reference to you tube...and a very small screen. If anyone gets this, is site working normally and if so then I guess I have a problem on my end

Hoss, 5030 Thx guys for your response. Schematic a big help. As for corrosion, given this thing has always been under cover I think that is a lesser....than mice in the barn:unsure:

The rear work lights on my 4720 are out. Fuse is good as is the relay. Anyone have a wiring diagram that shows the wiring path from fuse/Relay block?? Appreciate any suggestions.

For sure a loss..just caught up with this. Always a positive guy.

It amazes me everytime I see someone running a loader or TLB with the bucket elevated so he is looking underneath it. Apparently these people have no clue what center of gravity means when it comes to making turns. Or better yet, roading a piece with the bucket elevated-I guess they think it...

Agree 100% with this. You will be frustrated trying to work with big stone like that and the only thing you will likely do is wreck your equipment.

Your best advice? Whenever dropping loader, do it on solid surface-concrete or asphalt. Amazing how quickly the loader gets "crosswise". And by the looks of your Mahindra, with only one center grounding point it makes it even worse IMO

Guys, Thank you all for your opinions. As always, TBN is the best site when you need a lot of different views. I ended up ordering the Evo 380. More money than I wanted to spend but figured maybe one of my grandsons will appreciate it some day.

Lou and Code 54...which model? There currently are two..one has a stamped deck and the other is cast and with a bit more of a detent system to set for angles...at a premium of $100.

2-rks Which Evolution? I see some models have a cast base and others have a stamped base-as always you get what you pay for. As for the band saw the biggest thing I have against them is the size.

cold cut

After running to my pals shop everytime I need to cut some steel I've decided to buy a chop saw. Looks like the Evolution S355CPS has good features for price ($379) Of course its made in China..probably no choice there Any opinions?

Never found the opening on my WildKat to be an issue. Typically I approach pile then raise grapple while rolling down so I'm not chasing pile but rather compressing against ground as I close on it. By the way, not sure which one you were referring to but I think you mentioned it was...

My two cents. Loader in my avatar is a Wildkat 48" I bought it for my 3320 and when I sold it and bought a 4720 I continued to use it-so went from a 35HP JD to 58HP. It has held up well although I had to do a little welding on it due to my negligence in trying to pry a half buried big rock out...

Anyone have experience with land planes? Specifically the ABI 7'. I from time to time take care of a couple of gravel common driveways that are basically gravel or graded base (3/4 bluestone/stone dust). Usually I use my Land Pride Power rake-old school model with 3/4" wear bars on the...

Thx for responses guys. I ended up going to Lowes snd getting a Ariens Classic 24 920025. Very basic- I do about 50' of side wallk-everything else gets done with 4720. I have to say seems like .."cheesy" is word that comes to mind- I always thought Ariens was a top shelf product but never...

Any opinions. Looking at Husqvarna ST 224, Ariens and Toro

"K"-Thx-I would imagine the 955 is very similar to all in the "55" series

Got a text message from a neighbor (widow) who has a 755 and the right front knuckle is leaking-my first thought is "how bad"-oil is cheaper than seals but before I give an answer any opinions as to how many hours that would be? Local Deere "Mega Store" hourly rate is 120 bucks!

guys update! Have probably used it about two hours now blowing leaves. My friend told me I "might" be able to clean up head without damaging rings cautioned against forcing piston travel as that would in fact damage rings. I guess I was lucky as it doesn't smoke and doesn't use oil-at least...

Tom, Jaydee, YES! finally. Once I got everything back on, started on 2nd pull. You saw the picture of the crud that was in that motor. I don't know how that could happen. Even if it was left outside all the time how would water get in it? Didn't spend a lot of time today after I got...

I think we are on same page and I "mis-spoke". When you are at TDC and rockers are slack, that to me is both valves are closed-springs are keeping them down- and it is about to fire-the power stroke-then next stroke up is exhaust and you are again at TDC then intake opens on down stroke...

Well I took recoil off so for sure I'm looking at the "notch" that is supposed to be TDC when it is 90 degrees from horizontal. I also have a small screwdriver that is resting on piston and that confirms piston is at TDC. If both valves are tight against rocker arms, that tells me I'm at TDC...

At TDC as determined by screwdriver resting on piston. Lock the setting in place then crank a few times and bingo, rocker is flopping around?

Well guys, finally got back to this, got it all back together and before I attached the blower to it I tried to fire it up. Cranked like the compression relief wasn 't working so I pulled valve cover off, and even though this thing hsn't fired since I reset valves (.006 intake, .008 exhaust)...

"T"- I used a small wire wheel on top 3/4" of bore and then used a crocus cloth-cleaned up so it would hit TDC-it was "locked' at about a half inch from TDC. I'll take pix in AM. It still would not rotate and I could not see what the obstruction was-took the cover off the fan and it now...

Guys-thank you all for comments. Pulled the front case off. Everything looks good. No parts in bottom of pan. I pulled camshaft, looks new. Tappets dropped down so nothing frozen. When I first got this treasure-remember it was out on road with a "free sign"- guy in neigborhood died and...

Ahh--wasn't thinking-correct! I'm getting "Intake, compression", or "power, exhaust" and I wasn't sure which side was the one that was working. so what can be broken that is precluding full rotation?? Would have to be lobe?

Well guys finally had the time to pull the head. Valves intact. Push rods straight. I last worked on this in May and poured PB Blaster in spark plug. top of piston was crudy. Like sand. Again crank turns but will go forward and backward to TDC but will NOT rotate 360 degrees. As one...

correct

GC- only rotates about 270 degrees! then stops

for sure-next step

Yes-latest thing I did-pulled plug and confirmed-piston is functioning as it should.

For sure!

No clue- I was just turning from nut on assembly that recoil connects to. I guess I will pull the head in next day or so. I did do a You /tube search and came across a guy that bought "Sten" brand complete head assembly with valves for $105

NO-valve stem and pushrod are where they should be.

Well guys an update. I pulled plug and shot some WD in it and then took recoil off and put a socket on crank. Should have done that first. Turned easy as can be-for bout 270 degrees. then I pulled valve cover. One rocker moving as it should while no movement on other-other then the rocker...

TG thx- seems all replys are onto same thought -regardless if Marvel Mystery Oil, PB or WD a lot of suggestions to avoid pulling it apart. Stay tuned

Agree 100% on the angle comment. I have very heavy 72" box with 7 scarifiers. My draft links are adjustable so I've tried unlocking the left one but that gives me like about two more inches of length- hardly enough to make any kind of an angle. I've thought of welding up some sort of...

SR-No clue- The air cleaner looks good- oil level up and clear and bright. the recoil was hanging off of it. bolted it back on and cord will not budge. Maybe I'll pull recoil off and see if I can turn it.

I posted this question before and now can't find it so apologize. In anycase I have a GX 390 Powered Fradan walk behind blower. Previous owner passed away and his kids put it out on road to dispose of it. Full of oil but it is seized. Any suggestions? One I have is to pull plug and pour...

thx Arto-good info-first time I did a google search this did not come up

no

Thx guys for the comments...stay tuned. As for Arto's comment I have heard that those chineseknock offs are pretty good. Why not, they copy all the good designs:(. But I have never been in a China Freight Store. Then again, what difference does it make right? Sad state of affairs.

Well I one of my neighbors left a Fradan Vortex push blower out on the town road as a freebie. It is powered by a 13HP Honda GX 390. And if you don't mind pushing a heavy blower these things will move a lot of leaves. I have borrowed one from a friend of mine. Bottom line no oil in the...

Well my local Deere guy started out working for the dealership in 1985. Ended up buying it. Then about 8 yrs or so ago he built a brand new store on another piece of property. Then since then he bought out two other locations in the state. Well he finally got an offer he could not refuse...

Well for what its worth I have had a 48" Wildkat Economy grapple. I got in on ground floor 9 years ago and paid 700 bucks delivered to Mass. Only issue I ever had was I was trying to "hog out" a buried bolder by opening all the way and digging with teeth while trying to roll back with grapple...

Well guys- I gave up on the Goodfeet Store idea as a high priced alternative to Dr. Scholls! Now I'm looking at an electrical treatment system called Sanexas. Basically an outpatient system that involves electrical stimulation of the nerve endings. Anyone have any experience.

I see Carhartt is advertising boots big time. Anyone have any experience with them?

Well guys my 4720 is not giving me any heat. Still have my coolant leak, but don't want to pull it apart in the middle of snow season so I'm just living with that and keeping proper level in tank. But it is just blowing cold air while engine temp is in proper range so i'm guessing t-stat is...

So just wondering, over the years I've spent a lot of money going to Podiatrists and I'm convinced, the only thing they want to do is sell you arch supports. My condition is genetic for sure, I was born with flat feet. But the older I get the bigger the problem. My balance sucks, one of my...

My 2007 4720 has 1892 hours and after a heavy session running my chipper a few months ago I noticed a slight coolant leak. It was dropping down on tie rod and could not really see the source. Plowing snow this morning and it is getting worse. with engine running I can see coolant being blown...

Friend bought a very nicely restored 444 Case garden tractor today. My memory is these things were bullet proof. He wants to build a loader for it. Figures finding a used one would be like a needle in a haystack. And this guy is an electrical contractor and very capable. Anyone have any pix...

If money were no object, I would get a Honda/Honda. As cost is a consideration- A Honda is like $2200. then again all kinds of junk for 500 bucks. HomeDepot carries a Generac for like 700+. Says it has a "generac" motor-translation-Chinese motor. I have 5000w Honda (EGR 5000) that I...

My 2007 4720 (Deere power) has always shown an overfill on dipstick, in spite of fact I follow refills per spec. Recently I was really doing some heavy chipping for an extended period at 540 PTO speed.. Tractor not parked on completely level ground-tractor a bit higher on "curb side" but...

Guess this is as good a thread to post this as its a HD diesel issue. My town has a 350 KW genset powered by a Deere 13 or 14 liter engine. It is on our joint fire/police station and is probably8-10 years old (building was new then) Mind you the facility is that old and all of a sudden we are...

Thx guys for responses...here is door When you program and no delay, close door and it starts- open door it starts. Select delay value, close door and it starts accordingly per time selected. No clue where switch is-possibly in door?

I have a Jennair JDB1105AWB dishwasher. When you hit the program keys for the functions you want, and hit "start", it starts cycle with door open instead of starting when you close door. Anyone have a clue?

Any opinions on value. Very clean, 3 remotes

Well guys we had a total of 15" of the slickest snow you can imagine here in Central Mass last two days. I have R-4's, loaded tires and a 550 pd weight block but I spent lot of time spinning my wheels on this stuff. I'm pushing a 6.5' Fisher plow. Anyone have any experience with chains on...

Friend of mine just bought a 4600 with 1300 hrs on it. It was a corporate auction-major govt. contractor. Excellent turfs, slightly faded, smashed hood-obviously they had picked up some bulky object and it came back over onto hood. So today he asked me to try it out at his shop and he had a...

Well guys this thing runs for a bit and then quits. I'm told its the carburetor float and instead of screwing around with it, cheaper to just replace the carb. SHOCKER- Kohler part on Jacks Small engine is like $175. I have guys telling me.."20 bucks on ebay". Obviously China knock offs. If...

Well guys for the second time in 29 years since I built this house my drain from kitchen sink is stopped up. It is a sched 40 1-1/2" PVC and it drops 3" in 29'. The first time it clogged it did have a bit of a belly in it and I ended up cutting out a section and it was jammed with typical...

With 1700 hours on my 07, figure it is time for a flush and change. Coolant still looks good but I'm sure it owes me nothing. any words of wisdom? Machine has always run in proper temp range-no issues-winter or summer.

Guys, Anyone have a clue on the weight of a 4720 Cab, 400X loader, R-4s. Its a 2007.

Friends of mine have a B2410 and are complaining that brakes seem to be partially applied-like tractor is laboring. Brake lever is in "off" position. tractor does not pull to either side so not a question of one side or other. Any opinions? I asked if all linkage looked normal and response...

My son has a 2520 with R-4's and he is thinking of converting to Turfs-don't ask why-he doesn't mow with it-in any case same wheel sizes?

Again guys thx for the comments. So I pulled the engine and hauled it to my pals shop (He has been featured on American Pickers-you can imagine!) Hopefully this picture will upload. I guess spring broke and I was not getting the benefit of the ACR-coupled with a weak battery. As to comment on...

Well I bought a very clean LT 155 lawn tractor for the wife to tow a cart with. Had a mower and I had the guy take it off. ended up with a charging problem and I replaced a couple of the magnets and that took care of that. Lately you would hit the key and it would spin briefly then stop-but...

Having a huge problem with deer getting into gardens. I have 3' green mesh fencing but they just step over it or reach over it-tomato plants topped off! Anyone have a recommendation for a battery powered alarm? Lights alone work or do you need noise? appreciate any recommendations

A friend has a ZG127S Kohler and they had a problem with it hesitating typically on turns.. Took it in and was told.." Fuel pick up screen in tank-15 bucks for parts and 200 labor charge. -they delivered it to dealer and picked it up. Any opinions?

Anyone have any experience with this system. Just got my annual bill from my alarm monitoring co. 300 bucks! At first glance at these cameras they appear to be cost effective. My current hard wired system is an FBI any thoughts?

Well for a couple of years now I have been maintaining some long gravel common drives utilizing a heavy 65" box blade with 7 scarifiers as well as a 72" Land Pride Power rake. The land pride does a good job of "milling" the graded base (in this neck of the woods graded base is a mix of...

I am considering replacing my adjustable lift link with a hydraulic cylinder. While there are plenty of hydraulic "top links" on the market, I don't see any that are specifically identified for lift link use. then again, any reason why an appropriate top link could not be used? Using a box...

I was thinking of getting a hydraulic top link for use on my 72" box blade (tractor is a 4720 Deere) Then I thought might be nice to have a hydraulic side link so I could cut swales vs jumping on and off to adjust manual links. anyone have any experience with the Summit multiplier? I went on...

Well guys another boot question. Anyone have any experience with PW Minor boots? USA made -priced right up there with USA Red Wings ($256 for 8" boot) I need a 13.5 and as I was told by shoe salesman at Cabelas.."Only place you are going to find half sizes about like 10 is on line. So I...

Just wondering-anyone out there have any experience with Thorogood boots. I was on Mid Western Boot site and then discovered it is same as Thorogood. Been wearing Red Wings for years-the made in US models-but finally came to conclusion-mayber my feet are changing in my old age-13's are too...

I have a friend who is looking for a good homeowner saw. I'm a Stihl guy but I doubt they want to spend that kind of money. Any opinions on a decent "bang for the buck saw in today's market? Thx

Ok guys, here is my problem. Bought a piece of property that has a very nice kitchen-but the wife wants to change the color of the solid Corian Counter top. anyone have any experience doing that. There are "kits" out there to do that but am not sure they work well with corian. Hate the...

Have a buddy who is looking at a 3032E that was rolled over. Any notable downside to these. I assume this took place of 3320? I had one of those-great tractor. appreciate any insights

Well after losing all my new e-mails and old emails for second time in a little over a year. Ithink its time to cut the 15-20yr old cord. they restored stuff first time and I went on ine with them a week ago to get latest restored-they sid 3-days-still hasn't happened. and by the way...

Guys, The coyote situation around me is getting worse-we have one that routinely travels my property and looks at you like..."what's your problem pal?". If I pulled out a shotgun and blasted away cops would be here in a minute. I'm thinking maybe a 177 pellet gun would be the answer to get...

Well bought almost 9 grand worth of new Jenn- Air appliances 2/09 including a 3000 buck double oven. Wake up one morning last week and upper oven outer door completely shattered. Oven had not been used night before-no explanation. In any case, call to dealer- "sorry, part no longer...

Guys, I bring my 4720 (cab) to fairgrounds and use it for trash duty (I made a 6' x 4' x 2" box that I fashioned from a 40 x 48 pallet-slip forks on and box clamps to factory fork uprights with two "U" bolts I fashioned out of rod-works great-guys collect trash with bed equipped golf carts...

Well I have a single McCoun apple tree that two years ago had an unbelieveable crop-never sprayed it and the tree was loaded-pick the fruit and hardly a blemish. Last year nothing. This year we had a wet spring and the tree was loaded with blossoms and then forming fruit. All of a sudden...

So one of my neighbors asked me to help them out as they were doing a project and had no way to get the pine from the saw mill. I have a 14' Pequea skid steer trailer but if I have any weight to haul, always borrow a pick up rather then use my 2004 FX4 Ranger. These folks have a 2005 f-250...

well like a dummy, I was going to give the machine a good power wash and PM last week (including fixing leaking fuel filter which was subject of prior post) but figuring this would drag on for a week or so, did not want to drop loader on asphalt driveway-so dropped it on dirt at barn. I should...

Well yesterday I thought I smelled fuel. Took 4720 out of barn this morning and noticed fresh stains-then all of a sudden heavy drip on right side. the primer pump on the fuel filter was the problem so called dealer and as luck would have it that top section on filter that contains the...

Well the info that comes out of this site seems endless so here goes another shot in the dark. The dryer has suddenly started to keep running when the door is opened. Next thing it runs to the end of its timed run, shuts off, but you would continue to hear the timer motor running. Then it...

Well guys my problem this week involves a deere Ztrak twin that is running on one cylinder. I confirmed the dead cylinder had spark, then pulled valve cover and valve train works fine. So I'm guessing carb-had no carb cleaner handy-its my sons and I had stopped over today and got one of...

I have a Land Pride 2572 power rake- the drive sprocket lost some teeth-apparently I did not maintain right chain tension-so in process of repairing I was unsure as to proper fill level for 90W gear oil. I sent Landpride an email and a tech quickly called me and told me to use flowable grease...

Any opinions out there? seems like your choice is a cheapie for 25 bucks or 245 bucks on the other end. I have an inexpensive Miller that aI think I paid under 40 bucks for about 5 years ago but I think the solar activated battery is getting tired-time to upgrade.

Just curious-any opinions out there on realistic longevity of the 4 cyl turbo Deere motor? I have 1300 hours on my 07. No issues, no oil consumption, just wondering what the typical life expectancy of this motor is.

My 4720 has 1320 hours. today while out moving snow I glanced down and it looked like left front tire had some wobble or play in it. So raising the front end off ground, I checked it out and there is some play right/left. Right wheel tight-no slop what so ever. Rotating wheels-again front end...

In this day and age when often times "customer service" is a buzz phrase, I thought it worth mentioning an instance where I was actually impressed. I have ordered work gloves from Galeton in the past with good luck-a bit more than what you would pay in the "big box store" but decent quality...

Anyone have a method for figuring what you are going to get out of a log in terms of cord measurement. form example a stacked cord is 128 cu. ft. But that number includes the volume of the voids between the pieces. So let's say I have a log that measures 10' x 2' average diameter. that...

How about it-anyone have any experience with those logs you put in your fireplace..."every 60 burns" and they take care of creosote build up? How about anyone use them in a woodstove? I have a Vermont Castings Defiant in my basement. House has a center chimney, two story with a 10/12 pitch...

Well I started my 036 Stihl, locked the clutch and left it running while I picked up a log with the grapple. Before I could get out of the deere, I noticed white smoke coming from the saw-like around the drive sprocket. Byn the time I got to it it had stalled-fired a bit but would not run and...

Yes John I have done my share of handling rock with this thing. IMO, very versatile. I don't see how these "Root" grapples with their short lower tines/teeth can effectively get significant rock out of the ground. Also as for stump removal I find the long lower tines are very effective for...

an opinion guys. Now that Landpride has ben purchased by Kubota, any price advantage they may have had is gone. I have had a Wildkat 48" Mini E series for about 4 years and I have to say to me it is the best value out there. check it out at MSattachments.com. One of its advantages IMO is...

Old guy here. Worked my way through college in construction running among other things, a Ford 840-41?loader backhoe that had a driving front axle. It was an aftermarket item and I'm trying to think of the brand. Eranco? Elanco? Aranco? ring any bells? Powered by shaft that came off left...

Years ago (Like 1986!) I bought my first Deere. A 317 that according to the dealer was owned by "the village idiot" and he blew the motor up. It was offered for sale with a new out of the box Kohler that was the upgraded engine that solved all the problems these earlier Kohlers had. I had...

Thx- I have a 2572 that I use for maintaining gravel common drives in the neighborhood-20 houses built on 120 acres with five gravel drives-longest of which is 2400 ft. The LandPride with the bar design vs. "spikes" as on a Harley does a great job. Bought it last year for $2500. Just had to...

Anyone have any firm opinions on proper Calcium chloride (flakes) application methods. I'm treating common driveways that are mostly what we refer to around here as "graded base"-which is 3/4" crushed stone (trap rock or "bluestone") combined with stone dust (the fines from the same crushing...

I have an LT-155 (Bare tractor, no deck) that I bought used for the wife to pull a small dump cart around the yard. Doesn't have many hours on it but I bought a new battery not long after I got it in September- probably no more than five hours on it then it died. I've been fooling around...

Guys, One of my sons has an issue with his 2520. I told him to write it up and send to me for posting. Here it is: Hoping someone on here can help or provide suggestions... I have a 2007 JD2520 and i'm having trouble with charging system. Battery keeps on dying... tested and charged battery...

Couple of years ago I got tired of shoveling snow away from barn swing doors so I replaced with an OH with operator. Today I'm backing Deere out while listening to tunes on iPhone-Iheart radio. I'm paying attention to rear tires at door jams when I hear a crash, look forward and see door...

Well I was a hero when I bought the wife her "own" tractor. Something to just haul a dump cart with and also pull the grandkids around in. I've lost my hero status. Starting issues, So far, I ran a hot lead to the terminal on the starter totaling by passing the rest of the starting...

Every now and then you need a wake up call. got mine the other day when I've got the 27 ton splitter in vertical mode and I'm in "high production"- one hand on the handle the other rotating the log-once it's at a manageable size. Well in a nanosecond my thumb was where it shouldn't be- Picture...

Well I needed a pair of male quick couplers for the rear 3rd valve connection on my 4720 Deere. I go to Parts and ask for males to match up accordingly and don't pay any attention-until i install them, hook up hose and one of them won't lock on. All the couplers on the machine and 400Xloader...

Well I did a 500 hr service on my 4720 (hydro) hydraulic system. By the book- loader was off machine, changed big filter, pulled and cleaned the screen that goes in the side of the transmission, and pulled and cleaned the inline screen. Allowed plenty of time for drainage. Put the exact...

Well helping the neighbors out with their gravel drive that has a drainage swale on the side that was heavily silted in-to point it was no longer effective. I had access to some junk chain link so I made a screen 6' wide by about 8' high. Frame made of 2 x 2 square stock with galvie top pipe...

Anyone have an opinion as to the relative accuracy of the Google Earth elevation figures? +/- ??

Guys, I'm building a screen frame about 6' by 7' to reycle 4-6" rip rap that is a silt screen on edge of drive and has-guess what-silted in. I using chain link fence and verticle frame is 1-3/4"galve sq. stock that is used typically for hi way signs. cross bars are 1-7/8 galv pipe-typical top...

MoPioneer- that you were and one who influenced me to buy mine. As I have said in this thread-great value-attached are some pix of the damage I inflicted through what was a plain dumb *** move on my part. couple of pieces of 1/4" plate, good as new!

The valve controlling the rate of drop for the 3 pt. hitch on my 4720 has always been very difficult-I should say more like frozen when I bought the tractor with a little over 200hours. I finally decided to see if I could free it up and I discovered there is a big packing nut on the control...

I'm looking at a 72" Land Pride Power Rake. to those familiar with these rakes, the "cutter ribs" on the roller are 3/4" square stock when new. This one is worn down to about 1/4" in height which says it is not going to move much material per rotation. I've never done any "hard facing" and am...

Not sure if this is right place but anyone have any experience rebuilding one of these three piston pumps? A replacement pump is over 300 bucks so before I do that, just wondering how difficult it is to rebuild? The model I have is a XMV 3G25

A friend of mine has an L35 TLB and has decided after this winter of almost 100" of snow, he wants a snow plow to replace his bucket. I'm trying to convince him that for sure he wants a power angle plow but was just wondering if there is some easy (inexpensive) option to get a hydraulic circuit...

Just thinking about the snow removal issues in the Boston area the last couple of weeks and in particular the inability to clear tight city streets in residential areas. Not a fan of rear 3 pt hitch snowblowers, I was wondering if anyone made a loader mounted blower for compact tractors. Well...

My 4720 has loaded R-4's and about a 550 lb concrete weight block I use a 7' Fisher power angle plow (junk yard cast off that is starting to crack where the two swing cylinders attach to the blade. I could roll a 1/8" steel plate and weld it onto the front, then again it has a poly cutting...

UPDATE! Well guys we finally got some plowable snow. thing works like a charm. On my main common drive-asphalt millings- letting the blade float as usual. On the paved leg that goes up to my house used it to back blade away from the garage doors. Best of both worlds. And I have a poly...

Well 25 years ago I built my house on a piece of land that had been planted every year-most recent crop was pumpkins. Well I finally came to the conclusion that if I had to find my well in a hurry I could not as the amount of cover that has grown back was very heavy. We helped the situation...

Not sure if this belongs here but given wealth of knowledge out there here goes: we have a GE cooktop that is out of warranty (purchased 2/09 for 1400 bucks) It is "black glass" variety and has a stainless frame with the control panel in the middle and all the numbers relative to heat...

Attached is a shot of my 7' Fisher. I'm thinking of eliminating the lifting chain and replacing it with a solid steel connection so I have down pressure vs floating blade. Any opinions out there? I plow on asphalt, asphalt millings, and gravel.

Anyone out there have a clue as to an aftermarket hyd filter for a 27 Ton Troy Bilt Splitter? Troy Bilt part no. is 723--0405. Go to their website and thjey will sell you this spin on for a mere 27 bucks! could not cross reference It's a 10 micron unit.

Not sure if this is correct forum but has anyone had any experience rebuilding the Annovi Reverberi triple piston pumps. I have a Honda powered 2400 PSI unit that is about 15 years old and has had a tough life. Second pump just died (new in 2007) Replacement pump (model XMV 3G26) is about 300...

Not exactly a tractor issue but I'm hopeful some of the knowledgeable people who view these threads might have an idea. I have a 1956 B-61X Mack Dump that has what I believe is the original hoist that was installed when the chassis was new. I replaced the body a couple of years ago with a new...

Well the 400X loader on my 4720 appears to have some packing issues on the loader boom cylinders. In a little over two hours, the arms dropped 8". Three days later, from a height of 48" the bucket is now on the concrete floor.. Any clue as to what typical cost is to replace packings? Not...

IMO, asphalt "MILLINGS" should have no dirt. If this guy says he is getting it off driveway jobs I would be a skeptic- he is using a reclamer, not a milling machine. A milling machine is about a 700,000 piece of equipment that does just that- it grinds an inch or two off the surface-although...

A buddy was asking about what options he might have for putting a back hoe on a 755. I told him I did not think anyone made anything for the 55 series but I would raise the question on TBN. Any ideas? Does anyone make a unit that would drive off the PTO?

Point of clarification, "Graded base" to me is a mix of crushed stone and the resultant fine "dust". "Dust" is just that-only the fines, without any crushed stone. GB is typically sold around here with either 3/4" minus stone or 1-1/2" minus stone mixed with dust I've always used graded base...

I had someone tell me that the MX-5 brush hog has a bad rep in terms of gear box life. Anyone have any experience?

Agree 100%-although there are many whom have posted on this subject that insist its an over application of hydraulics. Speaking from EXPERIENCE, I wrecked mine by doing something it was not intended to do- I had rolled the top grapple onto the edge of good sized boulder and was trying to drag...

Forgot the "action shots"- typical of what I do with this "light econo" grapple' And do't forget, every pd. of impliment weight is one less pound of payload. That oak log by the way is probably about 1800 pds.

Wow do i feel guilty- I'm one of the wildkat 48 boosters who has published many "endorsements" on this site. My point- **** of a value. I paid under 700 bucks delivered to Mass. And guess what? I broke mine too! Not wildkat's fault- my fault. A lot of good comments here by CalG, Puckginder...

Isn't the picture of the vinyl seat in a Cab?? As for axle, attached picture (dirty but this thing has moved a lot of snow past few weeks) is my 07-maybe my imagination but it looks heavier

Let me try that again! first shot with forks. sure wish I had the inventory some of you guys have!

Well you were right on as far as washing out the halogens. I installed an LED on one side while the halogen was hooked up on other side-case closed. First picture is with originals, next picture is two LEDs. Pictures don't do justice to the superior power of the LEDs. these are 1550 lumens

Jess-Love those classic flaps-we are on same page! good luck with new 450!

I bought a pair of Tuff 4" LED lights to replace the factory cab mounted halogens. I noticed that these things only draw 1.9 amps. Any chance I could keep the two halogens (point them to the sides) and utilize the LED's as the driving lights? The cab worklight circuit has a 30 amp fuse that...

I have a friend who is having cold weather starting issues with his 755 Deere. Unit is parked in unheated garage. I told him to get a halogen work light and just set it on the floor under pan but in checking Amazon I noted all these Kat heating pads-looks like battery pad heaters are popular...

Check out Wildkatattachments.com. I have their 48" Econograpple. Works well with my 4720 and with that power (57HP) no problem. Other side of the coin my son borrows it and it works well with his 2520-not that heavy

Any Apple experts out there? All of a sudden, I can't open attachments with my MacBook. Say i get an e-mail with an attachment. I click on the attachment, and the scree immediately goes back to the e-mail list. Seems like I must have hit some setting by accident? Appreciate any help:confused3:

Never thought you could hydrolock an air cooled engine but I did-on gasoline! MY Honda GX 160 on a 27 ton Troy Bilt splinter wouldn't crank-finally got it to turn over and smelled gas. Popped air cleaner cover off and gas poured out. filter element saturated. Pulled spark plug, and changed...

Congratulations! Never did much shift work except early in my 44 years but did have to put up with the..."no problem BUT..." phone calls nights weekends. Been out 3 years now-like you, time now for grandkids and toys including attached. Enjoy!!

How is this for a Worcester County Mass Bobcat. One of my neighbors got this last winter with her trailcam in back of my house. We do have a couple of lucky housecats

Seems to me the cab lights on my 4720 are marginal at best. Anyone have any experience with replacing these with an upgrade? When you raise the bucket to clear the hood lights you quickly see how ineffective these roof lights are-IMO

Ad my vote for the grapple. I have a 4720 and a 72" HD bucket and a Wildkat 48" Econo. Great grapple for the money. Wider ones may have some benefits like when you are doing brush but they cost more and weigh more. I also had a 3720 and I would say the 48" Wildkat would work equally well...

How about it guys. Anyone have any experience with a System 2000 oil fired heating system??

Beez-thxfor comments. And for starters we are on same page- I view spraying as a process to just get the coating from the can to the surface-it then needs a brush for the complete job. As for jumping back and forth, what I mean is as a section gets sided, I will follow up with the prime...

Any opinions on these? My son has a Graco Tradeworks 150. Used it on my barn last year applying c Cabots solid water base stain. Worked well -from time to time- but always had to make adjustments and cleaning is a PITA. I'm having my house resided now with preprimed cedar clapboards. I'm...

Last October I put down a couple of inches of millings on my driveway. Product was not the best, had a lot of "2in.+" material in it. I spread it with a 96" Landpride power rake and rolled it with a small vib roller. It has held up well but I have some areas that did not bond -probably...

Whenever I have a heavy load on my 400X loader, raising/lowering while trying to "slip" the bucket control is difficult whenever I am handling a heavy load. Anyone have any clue? Obvious question-am I experienced? Yes. Also, can anyone tell me what this plug is? It is rear of the trans...

The wife's 2010 Explorer has a heavy factory tow package but I see no mention of an easy brake controller add on circuit. Anyone have a clue? I though all late model vehicles with factory tow packages had an easy plug in to add an electric brake controller???:confused:

Is it me or are there issues with the display screens. I have superimposed images, and thread titles are displaying as half lines.

How about it. Anyone have an opinion on a good value in a deck umbrella. we have had at least three of the Home depot/Lowes variety (100 bucks) and the end result is always the same-little bit of wind and one of the ribs ends up bending. My suspicion is they are allmade by the same gang in...

Anyone have any experience with these? My wifes 2010 Explorer does not have one and she decided in her old age she needs one. I went on line and I see there are a ton out there. As always, nothing like someone else's experience.

A friend of mine is looking for a 3 pt hitch boom sprayer-primary application is Round Up. His tractor is a JD 5063. Any opinions?

Has anyone done the conversion of the stock underhood exhaust to the verticle pipe? Before I spend 200+ bucks for the "kit" any opinions? tightness? Or i9s it something that constantly vibrates/rattles? Besides the "ego issue"-looks good, and the elimination of the blackened loader-I'm...

Well my 48" Wildkat Economy grapple is a year old. No issues and as many have noted- a great value. While we are often quick to complain about "junk" nice to have something good to say about a product. Shot from this weekend handling a nice piece of red oak, about 25"+ in dia. by about 6'+

After spending too much money on bird seed and after seeing the rodent squirrels start to eat our feeders, I bought an airsoft pistol. A Crossman, spring loaded for 15 bucks in Walmart- truly a waste of money. No accuracy at 15'! I have other "hardware" but the wife doesn't want to kill...

Doing a neighbor a favor this morning after her normal plow contractor gave up in trying to deal with the 20" heavy snow we had Thurs/Fri and went down to plow her drive. 2000 ft gravel drive is not well marked and just after crossing a little bridge I didn't realize stream bank was so close to...

I'm in the process of cleaning out an elderly uncle's property. He has two gear drive 3210V's He says they both run. Any clue on a fair value for these things? I look at them and I say "these were built"-unlike the cheesie Home Depot Deere/ Husky's etc. appreciate any opinions.

Shot in the dark. I have an 04 Ranger 4 x 4 Super Cab FX-4 Level II package. Truck has 58,000 easy miles on it. At 65 MPH it would start to vibrate to the point you thought the bed would come off. Tire wear has always been good-no uneven wear. Original BFG 31 x 10-50-15's. I had them...

My two cents- I think you are getting a lot more than a tiller- most versions have a power angler left and right, some have adjustable scarifiers in front of the roller and they are rugged. I've used a friends old Harley on grading and it works like a charm. I did my driveway with asphalt...

Has anyone done business with these guys. I placed an order last week (Thursday) and of course my MC shows an immediate charge to it. When I check the order status, I find nothing in terms of shipping info. When I call the toll free number, I get the .."all customer service reps are busy"...

Anyone running chains on a R4 4x20 cab? If so what are they. I use a 7' Fisher on my loader and with light stuff like we had last big storm (24+"), no problem- but when it gets heavy, tractor will go sideways for sure.

Any opinions out there: Northern Model 193020-2206 current catalog price 129.99 Oregon Model 108181 current Northern catalog price 199.99 (cheaper on Amazon) read the respective reviews on Northern website and you wonder if these guys have the same machines as one guyb says.."best thing...

My 4720/400X (440 hrs), has a frequent "stutter" when raising the loader. Doesn't do it all the time-will also notice it from time to time when raising the 3 pt. That says to me a pump/filter issue? The oil/filters are original- oil looks clear and bright but I do have the oil/filter on hand...

Dave, Nice plow- What brand is that? And if you don't mind, $$??. I'm getting tired of my "junk yard dogs" Attached picture shows front of Fisher-I think its an "H". A buddy gave me a set of new skid shoes (Bought a new F-250 and doesn't use the shoes) so I fabricated up an attachment point...

My son has a 757 Z with about 1200 hrs on it. He had a "lazy" drive motor so he took it to the dealer and the diagnosis is the pump failed and shot metal chips in the system damaging one of the drive motors and in all likelihood the other is likely to fail as well. Their solution is 3200 bucks...

I bought my 2007 4720 with a little over 200 hrs on it and it still had the original cable parking brake release. The day that I picked it up I had a tough time getting the brakes released to get it off the trailer as the previous owner had bent the cable and never did anything about it. Well...

I bought a used MX-5 mower and do not have a manual. Can anyone tell me what the proper fill level is in the gear box. When I pull the filler plug there is about 1/2" showing on the stick-as the stick is about 2 or 3" long, that leaves a lot of potential fill capacity. Also 80/90 gear lube??? Thx

How about it? Anyone converted their underhood exhaust on a 4000 series-3000 for that matter too- to a vertical pipe?

I have a 2007 4720 cab which I bought with 215 hours- I now have 350. Shortly after I got it in January, I was plowing and got back on the machine and turned all the lights on. Engine shutdown immediately-like key was turned/fuel cut off. I monkeyed around the fuse panel and after a few...

Well after spending a lot of money on drain cleaner to correct a slow shower drain, I tried "Liquid PlumR" by Clorox. The stuff works. I guess the tip off is the container is divided down the middle-so the components don't work until you dump it in the drain. And let me tell you, I had been...

Myhouse which is 23 years old has 4" cedar clapboards that were installed incorrectly-smooth side out, with less tbhan a 1/4" of overlap and 7d. galvanized box nails. In the last 23 years It was stained at least twice by myself (using oil based Cabots) and two years ago I had it done using...

My son has a 757 Ztrak with about 1200 hours on it. He started having trouble with one of the drive motors having a "lazy" response. Finally took it to the dealer and they say.."pump failed, chips got in both motors, $3500!. Kind of scary, 1200 hours and you get a $3500 repair. I'm not sure...
