Grain drill or planter press wheel would be a good guess since they appear to have a dirt scraper on them.

Glad you got it back. What did they find?

Pig weed

Some times they will pop loose just by striking the rim straight down next to the wedge a few times. Start at the bottom and put the nuts back on like RickB suggested to keep em from flying across the shop. Tractor wedges are cut to where they usually dont fly out like truck wedges do but they can.

Or the fuel lift pump (priming pump).

Wow. I’d run another brand in a heartbeat if Puckett Machinery took that stance. Heck even Deere (both ag and construction) dealers here bend over backwards to help you get back up and running asap even when that means you yourself diagnosing/programing things on the telephone with their help.

For what its worth, my ec140el was fitted new at the dealer with hyd thumb and no relief valves. I asked two techs about it, both said it didnt need them as the system recyles pressurized oil. I dont like the idea of no relief valves but I watch my guys often over power the thumb with the bucket...

That looks like a cat part number xxx-xxxx. My dealer emails me diagrams whenever I need one free of charge. Try your local dealers main office.

I’m not saying what it is but it sounds like it will be a tower or billboard of some sort if its not just a junction box base. We build a base pad for billboards or towers every now and then. Most all of them only want an access road and a pad thick enough to support the cranes and cement...

Not clicking that link and getting my name put on a list….:ROFLMAO:

Dont feed the trolls.

No way! Tractors are kewl and you can’t put a pricetag on kool. Or spellin. 😜

I wouldn’t say that. Research moly grease a little and make your own informed decision on bearings and moly.

Ok not milky but thin and seems to be making more. Does it smell like diesel? Fuel lift (primer pumps) are bad about leaking fuel into crankcase as the diaphram ages. Since its not a milky emergency, buy an oil scan kit and see what is in it before you start changing parts.

You might want to consult your owners manual as far as moly grease and ball/rolller/needle bearings are concerned. That being said it is a pain in the ass keeping up with two different types of greases and I really don’t think my employees keep them separate at all but I try to keep the moly...

:oops:

Man IDK but I have never seen one angled that tight that didnt act like that. Thats whether they had a load on them or not. My opinion is something changed if you used it before with no driveline noise.

Video number one screams at me to get the ujoint some relief. Video three seems to confirm it as the ujoint is not in as tight of angle.

I see stumps in yards often that my trackhoe cannot load into dump truck but can lift enough to set on trailers so I estimate 10-12k pounds.

Copy and save image. You’re welcome😜

Where’d you leave the strippers?🤷🏻 Asking for a friend.😁

Lol. You have to crank it up to cool down the engine on days like that. 😂

I have an ‘06 spec’d pretty much the same that I use for a fuel and tool truck now. I don’t think I have ever owned a more reliable machine of any kind. My only regret is I didn’t buy it in 4wd. Its been dragged, pushed and/or pulled to the pavement more times than I care to think about. Edit...

Is the draft control lever (lever closest to fender) all the way in either direction?

All I can tell you for a reason about the 90 minutes is that sometimes they act like that, sometimes they’ll cause even stranger issues. 50 years of making groceries with machines has taught me when you lose power, change fuel filters first, then persue other issue if that does not correct the...

Change fuel filters.

We call them Pan Plows locally. Here’s a JD 3 pan made in the 50’s if vid will work. Video wouldn’t work so this is the best I can do for now.

We just put broken up pieces of concrete slabs down. They dont have to line up perfect. They’ll mash down into the soft soil and smooth out over time. Be sure the slabs don’t have wire or rebar in them.

I took two acres of badly rutted crop land and turned it into smooth mowing yard this spring. I disked every week or two until all vegatation had rotted then pulled a drag harrow over it.

Same here. We a deere one on a 4020. That deere blade was made for deere by Degelman (sp). I found this out later when we bought another for a 1486 to push silage with and it was identical but had degelman decals on it. A closer look at the deere blades identification plate confirmed it. I still...

Heck, they pay us to haul em off.

Double H or Twisted X. The Twisted X seem to wear longer and dont really have an uncomfortable break in week like Double H and Redwings. Ymmv

Take the blocks out. Before you raise the 3ph all the way up make sure it doesnt spread the arms back out to stabilize it into the transport position.

Once the rain stops break or scratch the surface of the wetest spots any way you can and it will dry much faster. We clear and build house sites for a living. This year has been the wettest I can remember and it has been a chore drying out sites by turning the clay over 2-3 times a day so we...

Maybe its somewhere its no supposed to be!

It has to have the little prime stmbol by it to be shipped free under $25.

That thought crossed my mind but it has to be tightened against an internal bushing to prevent the straps from twisting outwards.

It is a grade 8 that is broken and replaced with. The 8.8 is the same size with a larger head. Thanks though. I cannot find the 12.9 in 16mm locally.

That was my first thought. It would certainly be the quickest fix. Tail wheels always on the ground when cutting, half to three quarters inch freeplay in sliding joint to allow it to follow countour. The guys at parts counter say, we sure do sell a lot of these, referring to the bushing that...

The broken bolt came from the hole directly below where the new bolt is installed. It is behind the center mast in the sliding joint. A mx7 is way too heavy to have its entire weight supported by a 5/8”/16mm bolt. The cutter was new last october and has cut maybe 30 acres of pretty smooth...

I’d do like OP mentioned, skids with some added temporary cross bracing.

Thats what Petebilt guy said too. I had (deleted back about april) before and after pics of pressure guage but they say impossible. I dunno what was up but they wanted to rebuild but I wanted to try it first. Try as you might but you will never convince me otherwise unless it happens again soon...

Faulty oil filter? Its a long shot but worth a few bucks to rule it out. Faulty oil filter is fresh on my mind because it happend to me on my last oil change with a big caterpillar filter. Pressure normally ran 65psi. Changed oil/filter, it ran 40 psi. I put another new filter on and its back...

It’s normal.

Yes. It seems to waste a good bit of grease under normal use and using the bleed screw to purge air. You’ll waste 1/4 of a tube if you lock handle and try to purge air with the handle.

Try it on flat ground first. Maybe mark out a “trench” with paint and get good at it beforehand. The tractor should do it easy.

Same here. Think it was yeterday that it went back to working on wireless.

Holy crap thats a bad spot. :oops:

If blades are slowing down but not the engine. Something is slipping. The clutch pictured above or the clutch inside tractor. Rare but possible with some rotary mowers, the output shaft on the gearbox has sheared the key but continues to spin from friction of a tapered shaft and tight bolt.

Ive pulled them apart with a chain and tractor before from all the old dried gease. Clean it up nice and shiny and reassemble.

I’m used to driving larger tractors and combines much longer distances and love the 4-lane stretches without worry because of the size. That being said, on such a small tractor I’d do what post#2 said plus a good rear view mirror and have at it.

I do love the old 4020’s, imho it is way to much tractor for your needs. Spend the same $ on a 40-60 hp tractor and never look back.

Heehee. Tailgate latch is hell on those short single axles.

The VR on mine was located inside the hood under the tach. And iirc it had a 4 wire plug going into it. Now this was years ago but when I had my alternator rebuilt it wouldnt charge until I unplugged the VR. The alternator shop had built a self exciting/regulating one for it and forgot to tell...

Lol. Number 148 right here

Have you priced a replacement yoke for the one that is bad? They are usually pretty cheap aftermarket. Or tack it in place and buy a new one next time. Tacks will break first use with the slack you described but will probably hold cups in for some time.

Might wanna adust the rate of drop for the 3ph.

I have been on equipment and tractors since the early 70’s. Now 50 years later after and having made my entire living soley with machines, I am proud to have finally made it to the point where all my machines are cab models and I have a bunch. I hated the hot and cold on open stations. Glare...

X2 The more you use it, the easier it will get and you wont even look at an indicator rod.

My 5075e was delivered to me a full 5 gallons low. I’m going to get an oil scan at 250 hours. I caught mine fairly early. Even though I dont think 3 liters is much, you really should consider getting an oil scan on it from your dealer even if they make you pay for it.

If that stump is anywhere close to 50 inches, you are not going to get it out even if you ever move it. Also the root depth depends on the tree and the soil. Some oaks go very deep here (water/pin oak) and others (white and red) sometimes barely go a foot. My 140 would eventually get that stump...

My hyd shop cuts the crimp off of any odd ball fitting that I take in there and reuse’s the old fitting with a new crimp band.

2x on the thats normal. Gtbensely summed it up. I own two larger machines and run em almost everyday. Too much swing torque would bend the boom/stick so they (swing motors) are sized correctly as to not damge itself. Dont try to knock stuff down swinging. If it cannot move sideways, do not swing...

Have someone sit in the seat and slowly turn the steering wheel back and forth in the slack range while you look at all the moving parts at the front end. Do not stick your hand in there any where. You’ll see where the slack is. More than likely all tie rod ends and cylinder end will have some...

Look in you owners manual about wheel width spacing. There are numerous width’s you can set to by simply moving wheels around to take advantage of the offsets of mounting hardware on rims and the dish offset of the centers. The wider the better up to a point. I wouldnt want it wider than my cutter.

Man I just tried to find what you need online, what a waste of time. My Deere dealer has them as I use the long one on my MX7 and the shorts for most everything else. That was a wild goose chase online. Try a couple local dealers is all I can say.

X2

I’d go with the 6ft. A 7 is going to be a tiny bit much if you have to delay cutting for whatever reason and the grass gets thick, especially on that hilly ground.

If thats a current pic, your tracks are too tight already. As stated above, look under that cover or right around the area behind the yokes to the front idler. That shaft you see behind the idler is the “can” of the cylinder. Some models are found there. You want 2-3 inches of sag. Too tight...

Having been farming, heavy construction, and trucking for the better part of 50 years, all the dealerships know that I will not bother them with minor warranty repairs. Downtime for most repairs is usually more expensive than the repair itself to a man who makes his living with machines.

A 10 minute repair with parts already on hand beats hauling it to the dealer and back. JMO.😜

Thanks. Its a bad connector. I pierced the wire supplying voltage from fuse panel on the supply side of this connector at back of cab and found voltage. This connector is not making contact. I’ll bypass it with a short wire and water proof single pin connector.

Tractor is new, all pins in 7 pin connector do what they are supposed to do except the center pin. It should be hot. I have tried lights on and off, key on and off, engine on and off. Still no power. All fuses are intact, in place and plug is wired properly. I need power to run sprayer. The...

I got my new savage b-mag today. I was very dissapointed in the quality of the rifle. Cheap feeling and looking. Lots of plastic. It shot good on the otherhand although 2 of 25 cartriges misfired. Typical of winchester rimfire ammo. Save your money and wait for a ruger or remington version to...

A year ago i bought a new komatsu dozer that burned engine oil from day one. 3 months ago komatsu put a complete new engine in because of the oil consumption. Said it was a manufacturing defect. Anyway, the new engine is burning oil also so i had the dealer bring some oil out when he came to...

I have a couple of machines that are running a little warmer than they have in the past summers. I have always used cascade to flush out my radiators in the past. But my question to you all is, is there something better out there? What has given you all the best results?

Whats an upper and lower limit value for a JD MT? Its original paint so it certianly shows its age but it has been shedded since new. One owner, well one family the son has it now. Tricycle frnt. 3PH. Runs great. Dry rotted tires but they hold air. I have not examined it closely because of lack...

Does anybody here know how many gallons a 20.8x38 R1 will hold with the valve stem at 12 oclock postion?

Does anyone here know what a yard of size 57 crushed limestone weighs?

I need to make a few vertical welds with some sort of hard surface or wear resistant rods. I want to be able to either stack up the welds or make a big fat bead. I only have an AC welder and vertical is the only position possible. Any suggestions on rods, amps, technique, etc will be greatly...

I saw it mentioned here awhile back but cant find it again. Does anyone here know where I can order a rear tractor tire liner? I have a 20.8x38 tire that has a split in the side. The split is too long for a regular boot. I need a complete tire liner.

I just got a new komatsu D31 for my hired hand to run. Im gonna try to attach pics.

I have a freind with a D31 komatsu with both steering clutches stuck. He has tried to break em free under engine power with no luck. I am going to go see about it soon. Does anybody have any suggestions before I start on it?

My 135 gas with perkins engine is leaking gas from the carb where the electric fuel shut off screws in. The threads in the aluminun bowl are pretty much gone preventing me from being able to tighten it enough to stop the slow drip. Teflon tape has helped some but not enough. Any suggestions...

At what age did you let your kid start driving tractors on their own? How old were you when your dad "turned you loose" on a tractor? Growing up on a farm, my dad had me raking hay at the very early age of 8. I was doing simpler task before that. I am raising 2 sons now on the same farm. The...

I need to do an inframe overhaul on a JD 310A backhoe. It has the same engine as a JD 2550. I will probaly get my kit from shoup parts. I have been pleased with the kits I have gotten from them before but was wondering if there might be a better source. My question is do any of you guys have...

Can someone please explain this to me please. Whats the meaning and reason for these terms I keep seeing here? Such as, thumbsup, rolleyes, licking, drool, and im sure there are some others that I missed....

Why did I start getting email notifications when a new post is added to a susctibed thread 2 days ago? I did not change any settings and I find it very annoying. How do I stop em?
