    JD 1026R Light Flasher Relay Location?

    Does anyone know where Deere hid the Warning Light Flasher Relay? :confused: I want to replace with a low amp trigger flasher & upgrade lights to LED. I looked around and could not find it. It is not in the fuse block either. The 3 relays there are for other things. I looked at the JD...

    Synthetic Engine Oil Base Stocks

    I was re-educating myself on the sorry state of synthetic engine oil base stocks last week. Since SAE got out of the 'synthetic' definition business, and Exxon bought Mobil (1998), it seems the race to cheapen synthetic engine oil base stocks continues. Not that I think there is anything...

    Mowing  1026R Wheel Spacers?

    Members, Has anyone added wheel spacers to John Deere's 1000 Series SCUT Tractors? (1026R, 1023, 1025) Mowing on some of my slopes is a bit dicey, I am wondering if there is an aftermarket kit that would help. I looked in Attachments Menus, but the recommended vendor stopped at the 2000...

    Fuel Additive - Optilube Comparison Chart

    The winter that won't end led me to create a comparison chart for Optilube's diesel fuel additives. I got an advertisement in my e-mail, so thought I'd see what the differences are in one document. I didn't include shipping costs ($4.95 per gallon, not bad). Here's a link to for those that...

    Potato Supplier Quality

    Been growing boiler taters for many years. A number of years ago, I started to see Colorado Potato Beetle infestations. I tried rotating crops, using preventive insecticides, nothing worked to rid myself of the annual plague. Several years ago the supplier I had been using for many years...

    Cabs for JD 1023/5/6 Series Tractors

    Members - anybody know the more common aftermarket cab makers for JD SCUT's? What I'm after is a removable winter weather enclosure. I searched the TBN sites for "cab" & "enclosure" but didn't really find a list. I see Curtis has a premium cab (hard & soft side), CoverMyTractor a wrapper...

    JD 1026R Photo (finally)

    Bought this JD 1026R SCUT in June from leftover 2012 inventory to beat the EPA changeover from Nonroad Tier 3 --> 4 on small diesel engines. Finally got around to posting a photo.

    Nissan Diesel Pickup Truck Announced w/ new Cummins 5.0L V8 Engine

    Home - Cummins Engines My read of this situation is that when Chrysler declared bankruptcy & were bought out by Fiat, Fiat negated plans for this engine in the half ton pickup (see thread about Fiat diesel in Ram half ton pickups) so Cummins found another pickup truck OEM. Sure wish it would...

    Deere or Frontier? Advice from members appreciated...

    Diesel Fuel Additive for Yanmar Engine

    Members, I haven't owned a diesel engine in quite a while. I just bought a Deere 1026R SCUT with Yanmar 3cyl 1.1L diesel engine, so need some advice from you. I work for a major OEM of generator sets that uses diesels, so I've kept up to date on engine design, etc. But - I am unsure what the...

    Brush Fork/Grapple for Deere 1026R FEL

    Does anybody know if there is a smaller brush fork and/or grapple attachment for the Deere SCUT 1026R FEL H120? It sure would be nice to have for picking up tree branch slash to move to the burn pile. I currently have Deere's 53" wide materials bucket on the FEL. I don't need to pick up much...
