I have a JD3720 tractor and am not sure what to do. Then problem tire is an R-4 8ply 27X8.50-15 NHS bought in 2010 and 1300 hours on it. No fluid in the tire. I rolled the front tire half off, removed it from tractor, wire brushed the rusty beads, took it to a tire dealer and had it...

I have had a RMD2584 for 11 years and it works fine and has maybe 500 hours on it right now. I am considering changing to gear case oil in it. I can't figure out how to empty the gear case as there is a dipstick hole on the top and a hole in the side for the level, but nothing on the bottom to...

I have 2 fairly heavy duty gas weed eaters. They worked okay until a couple years ago when I got fed up with trimming. My problem is I have some viny long weeds in deep ditches. The viny stuff gets wrapped around the shaft along with weeds and after un clogging the head a few times I just...

I have a JD Garden Tractor that used a 18x8.50x8 front tubeless tire. It has two old plugs that are slightly leaking. I need to add air every other day. I bought a new tube on Amazon and came in today but the size I ordered was correct but I received a 18x8.50x9.50R8 with TR13 valve (...

I have a Land Pride FDR2584 rear finish mower. I have maybe 400 hours on it of medium duty use. In my operators manual there is no mention of changing oil but for some reason I have penciled in to change oil at 200 hours. Does it need to be changed? I was going to change it today but how in...

I acquired a Bush Hog and have no idea of the manufacturer. I beautified it but want to change the gearbox oil but am at a loss. Can you give me some direction as to type of oil. I am thinking 85 w 90 possibly.

This is my target stand for shooting. The pic shows up small for some reason but is 2.5' wide and 6' high. The bullets blow through it and hit a hill or lawn in a wooded safe area. I have a wooded 75' foot hill on both sides of the lawn. One side has houses on top. It works fine so far...

I want to weld light steel and maybe heavy sheet metal and have it look fair. I have a 220 volt stick welder for much / most of my heavier welding needs but want a toy, basically. I went to TSC but would I want a flux core wire or do i need a gas or argon setup? I am not sure if a 110...

Pricing batteries for my 02 GMC Duramax. Group 78 1000 CCA @0 850 Ca@32 Napa $140 + core Walmart $94 + core Then I found a place online "Drive Sales Mall" for $75 with free same day shipping. The price is good for the same battery as Walmart. Online instruction says bring core back to store...

I am in the beginning stages of making a few windmills sort of like this one. The question I have is, what kind of wood should I use? Everything will get painted with a sealer and then a colored latex acrylic topcoat, maybe. I want to use pine of some sort for cost sake. But I question...

I am in the beginning stages of building a 12x24' bridge across a gully. I have 6 8" 20' I-beams I need to make 24' long. That means I need to cut another one into 4' sections. I don't have a torch, bandsaw, plasma cutter or anything fancy. I do have 4-1/2" grinders and chop saws and a...

Sadly I backed into a tree with my finish mower and broke my 3pt draft link, and worse yet I had to tell my wife. Regardless, I either need to buy a new one or weld this one up. I could take the easy way out and just order one, but I want to try welding it. I wouldn't have a problem just...

I need, or want, some liquid that works good for cleaning the fins and tubes of an AC condenser and evaporator coils. Also needs to be effective for cleaning tractor radiator and truck radiator. Any idea of what brand would be a safe and effective but easy kind of cleaner where I can spray in...

I normally don't pay attention to Halloween BS but driving past my neighbors house I came close to stopping in to help him out. I slowed down anyway.. A few weeks later I did stop for the pictures that I thought were cute.

I am hauling maybe a dozen 20' 6,8 and 10" I beams on a 28 gn trailer. How is best to tie them down? Lay them flat on trailer or on 2x4s? Circle them with chain to bind them together and then chain over the top with heavy chain and binders? I have a location for a scale to make sure it is...

I have an 2009 X740 with 3 cyl. Yanmar and it started nicely even in an unheated pole shed in Wisconsin when the temp would be down to 0 deg F or even colder. I changed the battery a year ago when starting took longer than a couple seconds in medium temperature. I got a Wally world battery...

I have a 2010 JD 3720 and have a hydraulic concern. I changed the hydro oil and filter according to the manual. The manual says the capacity is 7 gallons of Lo Vis Hygard. When I drained the oil I found I had about 9 gallons drained and when replaced it took 8.5+ gallons to get it to 1/4"...

I was adjusting my air ride seat on my JD 3720 and came across this little thing in the front edge of the seat. It is about 1.5" long and the tube spins freely spinning it with a finger; no resistance. Does anyone have a clue what it is and does, if anything?

I have a Landpride 84" finish mower and used it for 4 years with no problems at all. The discharge is all open in the rear so clippings I assume were to be dispersed evenly out the rear. But now I am seeing what seems like grass clipping accumulating on the right of discharge. And then I get...

I have a propane Duromax 10k generator for 2-3 years and always run on propane. I have about 32 hours on it today, Do you have any idea how often those generators need oil changed. The oil still looks fairly clean. Thanks

My house has an open porch with a 5-6/12 pitch roof with metal roof and 5" seamless gutters. How in the world can I lean an extension ladder up against it to get on the roof without crushing the gutter. I had to climb up yesterday half a dozen times and the gutter is getting pretty beat up...

I was sawing a a log pile up on my lawn today and when I went back after dinner I noticed that a ton of bees infiltrated a center portion of some chunks.:eek::eek: The cameras didn't pick them up because I took the picture late in the day. I don't know what to do with them other than to run...

A question on the operation of these legs. The operation of these legs should be straightforward but is there a trick to adjusting these spring loaded legs? To set them downward I need to get on my hands and knees to operate them. When I pull the lever out they slam upward and I almost need...

Majic Clear Coat High Gloss Laquer, Clear, 1 gal. - For Life Out Here I ran a cross this today and was wondering if anyone ever used this enamel. I painted my RFM a few months ago with their Majic paint and was wondering if this clear enamel would accent it a little more and help the paint...

I have 3 4x16' cattle panels to be used for tomato cages. They are to end up being 16" square by 48" tall. I could cut them up and wire 16"x 48" pieces together to get the job done but I was considering just trying to bend a 64" piece 3 times to make a 16" square cage. Wiring them...

I am installing a hardwood floor in the dining area, or trying to. 3/4"x 2-1/4" unfinished oak. Other stuff may be easier but I want this down. The question I have, and googling many sites don't answer this, the nailing procedure. I know there is a fancy air nailer where you smack it with a...

I had misgivings about working under a raised FEL and was looking for a way to make it somewhat safer. Ideas from others were to put it up against a tree, put a stand under it, something with boards under it and some suggeested putting cometjhing on cylinder shaft, so I did that. I made two of...

I changed the engine oil and antifreeze the other day in my JD3720. For flushing I put cleaner in then mowed lawn for an hour at recommended PTO speed. Drained and refilled etc. Fairly smooth lawn that was mowed all summer driving with high RPMs for an hour. I took care of the radiator but...

I have JD3720 on my trailer right now and was wondering where to hook the front chain to. I understand crossing the chains and using binders etc. In times past I have already just put a chain around the front axle and tie down to the respective side rail, but that pulled out on the front...

Why in the world am I getting Korean posts with Korean print. Must be for the Kubota users.

I added an attached garage to my house approx 27x40 average with 9' and 10' ceilings. One part drops down a little bit. Approx 1100 sq. ft. It is getting rather warm and sticky in the garage and I want to put a wall mounted AC in. We have a food processing area in a third of it with sink and...

I have a 6x10 single axle homemade trailer I want to haul medium diameter oak logs with. The wood is located 6-7 miles from home on back country roads. The axle is rated for 6,000# but the springs are rated for 3500#. A few years ago I changed out the heavy springs so the trailer would ride...

Left or Right Brain Test I followed these 31 quick questions given by psychologists and I am 73% left brain dominant. That seems to be the more analytical area. I don't think I am nuts but sure am not into the arts and instinct and emotional part. Give it a crack. I found it somewhat...

I have a LP and gas generator that I have run off little 20# LP tanks used for grilling with the hose and connection supplied with the generator. It works great. With storms coming I want to hook it to my 500 gallon tank. The small tank has no gas regulator and I don't know the pressure. The...

I have 2700 sg ft. of exposed aggregate concrete driveway, garage and front porch. I don't think it has ever been sealed and I want top use an acrylic sealer to try to beautify it a little bit. My boy lives in a nice subdivision near Nashville and said all his acquaintances in the...

My wife planted a few seeds from a muskmelon pack, but this is what is coming up. Do you have any idea what this is? It almost looks like a squash, but I don't know what to do with it at harvest time. Thanks

I have a 1300' driveway built around 1996 possibly, with sections that look like the back of an alligator. I never had a blacktop driveway before. The driveway is approx. 8-9' wide and the bad sections are from the edge toward the center about 2-2-1/2 foot in and sometimes 20-50' long in a...

The situation is; I just bought a house with a 20 year old 50 gal tank LP Power Vent heater in a tight closet. It works fine now but am concerned about a leak then I have to scramble to replace. It will be a bear because the door frame is smaller than the tank. I have a 3/8 coiled copper tube...

I have added a garage/tractor storage to my house. I am putting an overhead heater in; no problem. I want to put a wall AC unit roughly 18000-24000 BTU/H. I don't have a unit picked out yet, but expect it to be 220V. What size amp draw would that size AC take for 220. I understand it is all...

I am putting new brake backing plates on my campers 8000# axles. The 1/2" grade 5 bolts were almost impossible to get off, but I finally got them. I got new fine thread grade 5 bolts and nuts but am unsure if I should put a lock washer or Lock-Tite or Never-Seize on them :confused3:. The old...

I know I should probably trash the grinder but I am kind of attached to it... I had this 14" HF chopsaw for 12 years. I put new brushes in it 3 years ago, and yesterday I was sort of horsing it through a piece of 5/16 x 5.5 flatstock and I melted the switch. HF doesn't sell those switches...

I have a pretty new trailer, 2-7000# axles with 12x2 brake shoes. It has 2 Rockwell American axles with electric brakes. I rode it pretty hard for a year and am redoing the brakes now. One time the ripcord pulled out and I pulled it for 12 miles before I realized what was happening so it got...

Trying to move some stones after a wash out I cut a tire on the stones. The front R4 loaded tire has a small cut about 1/2" long between lugs but only goes through the tire a very little bit. Enough for a smallish pencil lead stream of RimGuard to leak out. I have the fluid out and was...

2010 3720 with 300 CX with 400 hours on it. Historically the bucket lip dropped very slightly until a week or so ago. Now with the bucket and especially with the forks on, the curl will drop all the way down in just a matter of seconds. I can lift a decent load, but within 2 seconds as I take...

:confused3::confused3::confused3::confused3: My desktop computer can access any of those icons because they are highlighted. My laptop and cell phone cannot access any of them because they are not highlighted. Any idea why? My profile is somewhat accessible but I cannot find anything to...

I am trying to get the LP out of this 1/2 full tank and don't have any fittings that fit it to bleed the propane off. This tank has been hanging around my place for 40 years and I want to get rid of it. I didn't call a gas company yet to get their take on it. I did set it up and blast it with...

I sold my 47" Snowblower and still have the PTO shaft and was thinking about selling that. Is there any uses for it that would warrant me keeping it for my tractor? :dance1:

For the last week or so, the Home page, todays posts, new posts, alerts, my home etc. icons at the top of the page are not high lighted so I can't pick one and go there. The only way to get into this forum is Forums, and the scroll down the list of things like Owner/Operating, Attachments etc...

Purchasing property and the owner has a Ford 3430 with finish 66"I think" mower and would like to buy it from him. I searched the net but can't find any. Does anyone have any idea what they are worth. I don't know the hours or the year so it would be subjective but it looks nice and he uses...

I am in the process of finding a trailer for a move from Wisconsin to Tennessee, but I haven't bought a house yet but plan on looking in 3 weeks. For moving, I have a full house of furniture and a Pole Shed with JD 3720 with 600# box blade, weight box, rear blade, dirt scoop etc. plus a X740...

I was sent this by a friend who works at the Horicon, WI plant that makes a lot of the smaller stuff. This shows the manufacturing and testing process that goes into John Deere smaller units. See How We Run JohnDeere.com

I have a 22 Ton log splitter and am trying to find a covering for the hoses. I saw a metal coil on some hoses one time and am not having any luck finding any like that. It looked like a small metal slinky covering the length of the hose. No doubt it was a stainless coil of some sort. If you...

Has anyone ever welded valve stem protectors on tractor wheels while there is fluid and pressure in the tires. I broke a couple off a year or two ago and am trying to take a proactive approach to this before I have a mess again. I have seen videos of tires blowing up but I can't see a spot...

I am sick of filling my tractors with 5 gallon cans. The fuel tank fill on my JD 3720 is not easy to do. I acquired an old 100 gallon round fuel oil tank. I sanded it down a little and painted it and cleaned out the scale and flushed it. Now I am trying to figure out what to do with it and...

:tree::muttering: My neighbor wanted his nice shag-bark hickory trees cut down so I cut them into logs about 10-14' long, generally as big as I could handle them. I have a pile of about 30-35 logs. They are 2-3 years old right now. They range from 12" to 20+" in diameter. I got them for...

NEW TECHNOLOGY (AMAZING) - YouTube I saw this u-tube and I just have to get one for my couple acres. :thumbsup:

I want to change the fuel filters on my JD 3720 and the owner manual says to change the filter only when the tank is low. What is the deal with that? Will the tank drain out? What do I have to watch out for besides fuel all over? Thanks for any tips. Chuck

I am working on moving a berm from my property to another area to make some lowland into lawn. I have approx. a couple hundred yards to move so I modified this old steel trailer I had. I put a mobile home axle under it to raise the bed and then centered to axle so it would flip up better, and...

I have a 2010 JD 3720 and I read a few posts of people tipping tractors or getting oil in the engine and not being able to shut the motor off. The diesel would continue to run even after the switch is turned off. I finally decided to try to shut down my tractor as if it had a run-a-way diesel...

Just passing on a memorable experience. Over 10 years I noticed my pole building roof was getting dirty from overhanging dirty trees and farm dust and a little mildew. I wanted to wash the mildewy walls of the building for 5 years but the side walls are 14' so I kept putting it off, until a...

My tractor is just off the warranty and am wondering what kind of manual to get for adjusting and fixing and calibrating problems as they arise. Hopefully it will save a trip to the dealer to offset the cost of the book. Service or Technical manual? Are they the same book?

Lately I am having an error code 08 pop up often. In the manual, it says, "Description; Throttle sensor" "Problem source;Voltage signal out of range or not calibrated" "Machine Response; No anti-stall function, loss of performance" I started the tractor, waited a couple seconds and stepped on...

I have a trailer with two mobile home axles. I changed one old, old axle to a more resent mobile home axle a couple years ago and changed the other old, old axle a month ago. The question is, are they directional? I'm trying to get all the brakes to work properly, but don't know if I have...

On TBN, Looking through posts and I get to an interesting picture someone has posted, I look at it and whenever I hit the arrow on top of the page to return to the article, it jumps back to the post at the top of the page instead of the post I am currently looking at with the picture. Is that...

I was given a 150 gallon round fuel oil drum with about 75 gallons of home heating fuel in it from about 20 years ago. I looked inside and the fuel visually seems alright. It is still potent because I threw a gallon on a bonfire and got the singed hair to prove it :D The drain to the tank has...

I know this is supposed to be about tractors, so just pretend it's for a tractor part. You folks are good judges of this and I don't want to get sucked into a scam. I have a tanning bed for sale for $550 on CL and I received this message. Do you think it is a scam. I copied his response from...

I am seeing conflicting ideas towards whether 4 " wheel spacers hurt the rear axles or housing on narrower tractors such as 25-60 HP. The dealer won't give me a straight answer as to if it will hurt bearings or anything else. Attitudes toward this is subjective, but there are enough people on...

Does anyone have any idea why this 7018 H4R type of rod don't work on my AC welder? Are they DC rods by any chance? They were new almost and are 3/32 gauge. I don't have any problem with 7014 from the store, and maybe a little with 6013, but these I can't strike an arc at all. Maybe a little...

Recently I was part of a thread that beat up Cleary Buildings pretty bad. I can't find it now so I am starting one to update my experiences. Someone else started the thread with a gripe and I chimed in with my own complains and added a couple pictures of discrepancies. After some time past...

Young Buck attempts to mate with teen remix - YouTube This is a video of a teen age deer. Love it.

On a 2010 JD 300CX loader, there is a 1" solid round between the arms near the bucket. It has zerks on both ends that I really had to put a lot of pressure on the gun for them to work. They almost seemed plugged, I greased them maybe 30 hours ago and they seemed much better. Does that seem...

I received for free a 2000# cap. axle with hubs. It had a bend in the center portion of the axle so during a welding class we straightened it and put a square tube over it. It is very straight. After storing it for 15 years, I decided to dig it out and put springs on it make a small trailer...

Just wondering, if i find a thread that is interesting, is there a way to keep track of it without having to hunt it down through a search or adding a comment to it so I will be notified of any additions :)

I have a 3720 with a 300cx FEL. I am wondering if the curl function for the bucket is strong enough. People on this forum always talk about how strong their curl is, and I am having doubts about mine. For example, I lifted a 1500 # weight box with my pallet forks that was sitting on a pallet...

I have a 3720 and I had replaced the big plastic pan underneath the seat and where all the controls go through such as the 3PT control and the FEL control and parking brake and all of those things to operate the tractor. Since I did that I noticed after I got home with the tractor, wouldn't you...

I have a compressor for a John Deere garden tractor and is mounted in the front of the tractor. I am just getting it out of mothballs after 40 years of storage and it needs oil. It says to use 20 weight oil, non-detergent. I use to hear of that type of oil decades ago but never really knew...

I have a John Deere 20 Front Mount Air Compressor that is supposed to be mounted on a 110 Garden Tractor. I have a 110 but was wondering if you think a 5 HP Briggs Motor would handle that thing. It is a brand new motor, never started, and I was going to try to hook it up after I find out about...

I have a medium duty John Deere box blade and pull it with a 45 HP 3720. I can't level out rough dirt very well and was searching links and there are a few ideas of people putting tag wheels and other things in the rear to try to alleviate the dumping of the dirt when the tractor rears hit a...

Does anyone have a better way to prop up a FEL that is on the tractor and extended totally up than with a 2x4 propped up and jammed in a certain spot. It sure makes it easier working under the hood with it up. I have safety concerns because I'm the one walking underneath the thing and I have...

Maybe one of you can shed a little light on my 3720. I get an audible knucking sound when idling, wheels turned to right or left, Idling so I can hear easier. Wheels straight, it seems fine.I tap the hydro pedal to go forward or reverse, and let off the pedal I hear a sound that comes from the...

To all my friends that think kids riding inside a cab of a tractor is as safe as a car (and I did), think again. In southern Wisconsin yesterday a farmer was allowing his 3 and 5 year olds to ride with him while plowing with a cabbed tractor. They hit a bump and the 3 year old steadied himself...

I have a 37' 15000# fifth wheel camper with electric brakes. Am I suppose to be able to lock them up when I step on the truck brakes hard? I do know that if the emergency cable gets pulled out accidentally it stops on a dime, so I know the trailer will lock up, but I never was able to lock...

I have a 3720 with a CX 300 loader and heard arguments both ways for heavier or lighter forks. Stronger vs. lifting capacity. If forks are heavier, you can lift less. If forks are lighter, they bend easier. The question is; If you have a tractor approximately my size and you have either a...

I have an old JD 110 with faded green paint and I want to spray it with a quart type sprayer. Does anyone know a good way to get the viscosity correct so it paints well right away. I always try to paint with thick paint and it plugs everything up. Then I am trying to figure out on the fly the...

Hey, Great to find this site. It looks like there is a lot of good ideas on tractor stuff. Hopefully I can learn something and even throw in some dumb ideas once in a while. :drool::thumbsup:
