    JD 5045e warning beeps when under load with full throttle

    That's how it ends when you try to save a few buck during your purchase. Did you at least change your fuel filter? It sounds you're starving on fuel under load.

    Massey/Agco vs aftermarket replacement hydraulic hoses and replacement interval

    As long as they are not exposed to sunlight, thats possible. Your hoses were obviously in the engine bay and quite protected. Hoses on the loader are exposed to all kind of threats. Sunlight, physical impacts and constant movement.

    Third Function on 4707 Not Working

    They may have installed just a diverter valve. For that, you need to hold the button and curl/dump the bucket function.

    GC17XX Shop Manual

    I don't know your specific tractor. But quite likely, you have to remove the stub from your rear end of your tractor. As far as I remember, some tractors had a certain spot to store the other speed's stub on the back. That way, the stubs were within reach when it came to change them. The end of...

    I don't want to sidetrack this topic. But how is your general experience with your 2860? I'm looking into that series but there is barely any info out. How does it hold up? Any brake downs? Cold start capabilities? What's your use? Pm me please not to disturb this topic too much. Thanks

    PRIME PRE-FILTER MF 1840

    If it has an electric fuel pump, usually there is no bleeding like old school necessary. Just turn the key on and let it sit for two minutes. That's why your manual doesn't state anything specific. The same with JD. That's the nature of common rail fuel systems.

    Massey Ferguson 175 Hours

    Seems like you confirmed what I thought about the Perkins. They last forever. A farmer once talked about his MF combine to me. He said, as long as there is oil in the engine, you can run them glowing hot and they still keep on going forever.

    Bucket "sticking" when dumping (newer tractor)

    The wording "air pocket" is not quite right. It's vacuum. The rest of your statement is head on. The hydraulic system is sealed. There is no way air could get into the system except there is a leak on the suction side of the pump or the fluid is low in the reservoir. To lessen or solve the...

    Away from more weight to the ground and this resulting in more traction, filling the fronts doesn't do more than that. Depending on the tire size, there might not go much in anyway.

    The pressure in a hydraulic system has no affect how stiff the control handles. If it's cable operated, a drop of oil might help. Plus break in time. Look into a self leveling loader.

    Buying Advice Diesel smog emission stuff?

    Don't buy 39 hp if you use only 24 of them. That's when you run into trouble with the aftertreatment. No matter which brand. Keeping the Rpms above a certain point might help but it doesn't put any load on the engine to keep the systems happy.

    Fuel system issues on NH T4.75

    If your engine has a common rail fuel system, and the code says something similar to "low rail prssure", then there is the possibility of a problem with the fuel supply solenoid.

    2017 Mahindra 2545 dash warning light

    B6200 fueled with gasoline instead of diesel... How screwed am I?

    There is quite a bit of difference between 1977 and now. Different technology so to speak. Yes, that 10% sounds about right. In Germany, the winter diesel standard is set at -22C. If it gets colder than that, manufacturers recommended to add gasoline. It doesn't get that cold anymore.

    The lack of lubrication of gas can ruin diesel fuel injection systems. Specially the newer common rail systems with tight clearances.

    You can not replace a R4 with a R1 using the same rim. R1s are in general slimmer. That's why you possibly can't find a front tire in that size.
