Just purchased a used 2021 x730 in August with 46 hours, it took the place of my '93 425, a true workhorse. Anyway, I purchased the X730 after learning my 47" Blower and all the mounting hardware could be used except for the main Driveshaft coming up from the Mid-PTO. I liked the 425, a simple...

Owner of a used X730, found this AIR INTAKE, UPPER X7 HOOD, PN: M166252 (attached) in the driveway after blowing and based on the Parts Catalog pretty sketchy where it's installed or how it's held in place, noticed some melting on the plastic piece around what appears to be a mounting hole of...

Sorry, I know, HVAC question on TBN, hey where else can you find knowledgeable people in all sorts of professional trades. So, doing my 2-year maintenance on my '14 KBN-81 Boiler and all set to replace the Divider Plate Insulating Baffle in the rear of the Heat Exchanger, can't seem to identify...

Recently purchased a used X730 and while doing research I noticed I can use my 47" Blower from my old 425. One thing I noticed right off the bat, the Hydraulic quick connects are on the opposite side so I went through the Parts list, purchased some gaskets and (2) 90-degree couplings since the...

After chasing engine issues over the past 4 months and spending > $3K, I'm throwing in the towel and searching for a reliable replacement. Since my purchase in 2000, the '93 425 with its 60-inch mower deck and Front Mount 47" Blower has remained reliable companion over the years and has met the...

Wanted to share this story for those who own a 425 workhorse. I followed the guidance of the blog and changed out the IGNIITOR and all is grand again. I do have a question for those mechanically inclined, what does an "IGNITOR" actually do, THANKS. I’ve owned this '93 425 Garden Tractor since...

Good Morning, I own a circa '93 425 LAWN & GARDEN TRACTOR SN: M000425A013701 and have kept up with the maintenance, Mobil 1 oil, new spark plugs, etc. I'm starting to have some engine operational issues, perhaps someone can give me some guidance. The engine is a Kawasaki FD620D and several...

Own a 93 JD425 SN: M000425A013701, runs great. Several months ago, I purchased a 05 JD47 Blower with all the correct mounting hardware. Over the years I've used the Upper Steering Column Hydraulic Lever to raise/lower the mower deck so I added a hydraulic shut-off valve and added (4) connect...

Good Morning, Picked up a used 47-In 2-Stage Snow blower coming off a JD425 with all the mounting hardware for my JD425, to date I've only used it for lawn cutting. To lift the lawn deck I simply lift up on one of the two Hydraulic Control Levers that actuates the lift linkage. The 47 Snow...

Good Morning from New Hampshire.... my '93 425 (still going strong) SN: M000425A013701 with ENGINE MODEL: FD620D - AS02 is in need of a major tune-up, looking for the correct Repair Kit. THANKS.....

I'm looking at the 790 in the JD Parts Catalog, in specific the Instrument Panel (790001 -). Since I can't find a picture I believe it's PN: LVU801663 "GAUGE" that contains the Hour Meter. I see the assembly is a plug & play, just wanted to be sure that's all their is to it and that nothing...

Fun times in New Hampshire this morning......The lower bolt to the Thermostat Housing sheered while I was cutting the lawn and coolant started leaking......After removing the Housing I was able to remove what was left of the bolt (thank Goodness). I ordered a new T-STAT, Gasket and the two...

I own a '93 JD425 with Engine: FD620D K-Series. Starting to have issues with overheating with the temps in the low 80s here in NH. The engine is clean, checked air filter, radiator blown-out, radiator full with proper coolant, screen cleaned...? The engine is really getting hot (but the temp...

Need some technical guidance with my JD425 regarding the Mower Deck Linkage. I've attached (1) page from the TM and (2) Pages from the JD Parts Catalog. Situation: One side of the mower deck was dragging and after inspection I found one of the ribbed ends of the Splined Mid-Lift Shaft had...

Time to Remove/Replace my Secondary Fuel Filter, JD PN: MIU800645 (Attached PIC), 3TNE Yanmar Engine. Looks like the last R/R performed at the JD Dealer torqued-it-down-real-good !!!!. I've already tried my Belt Style Oil Filter Wrench and I can see it's going to crush the canister...

Good Morning, I am Mechanically Challenged and here I am again seeking some words of wisdom. I own a '93 JD 425 K Series, V-Twin, Serial # M000425A013701 that has been a workhorse all these years, I make sure I keep up with the Scheduled Maintenance, never a problem and always at-the-ready...

I own an '05 JD 790 Compact Tractor that resides in an attached garage. It smokes when you start-it-up (even when using the glow plug function) and that smell can creep into the house during the winter months + lingers in there for quite a while even with the stall door open. The 790 has a short...

Well, Learned a hard lesson yesterday :smiley_aafz:............I was on another site, configured much like Tractor-By-Net, posted a simple PDF File and WHAM-MOE :eek:..........My Lenovo Hardware Monitoring Software give me an alert "Repairing Hard Drive"....O'Boy....and then, can't logon...

Good Morning, A cool crisp morning in SW New Hampshire BUT PLEASE SEND RAIN........ I'm trying to test out the voltage readings coming to the Stop Fuel Solenoid. I'VE attached the appropriate Wiring Diagram for my '05 JD 790 Production/Serial Number. Wondering if someone could walk me thru...

Last couple of weeks noticed this occurring more and more. At one point I reversed the starting key (25 seconds) to get the glow plug going, still didn't start. I check the Fuel Filter, opened the drain and full of fuel. Purchased diesel within the past month, Shell Brand. Changed the Seat...

Yesterday I had my 1993 JD 425, 2-wheel drive Garden Tractor that I purchased used in '2 out and notice what I thought was smoke coming from the engine area so I shut'er down. First thing I thought of, an electrical short and there goes the wire harness but thankfully just a leak in Lower...

Clearing heavy brush, discovered old stone well, 14'+ depth. :eek: For comfort and safety, need to cover this Attractive Nuisance (by legal terms). A 4 round diameter grate would fit nicely overlapping the stone perimeter. I'd like to be able to see down into the well so a solid concrete or...

:confused: Was using my 790 w/FEL to set stone, you know, the typical New England stacked stone fences you see visitng New Hampshire, loading bucket with single stone at a time to easily set into place, up to 120 lbs. Shut the tractor down, parking brake on, took a short break, came out and...

I thought I'd turn to this site for some sensible feedback. I build an ICF House in 2012-2013, I acted as the General Contractor and thought I had everything covered but recently started noticing some flex in my Aquatic Shower Enclosure not to mention the old water spot in the ceiling last...

Hello, Just returning to TractorByNew after my wife and I physically built an Insulating Concrete Form (ICF) home in SW New Hampshire during 2013. We used 247 cubic yards of concrete and 5.5 tons of rebar. I would be more than happy to share our experiences if you're planning on building a...
