I can fab a bit with stick welder and some cutting. But I am not the best.

Correct, trying to figure out the best way and if the newer JD style would fit my pins with the older 146?

Yes it’s jd146 loader. Pin on style. I don’t have the jd4300 anymore.

I would like to keep it as cheap as possible! LOL Sure, send the link. Thanks. Was hoping JD made a part or could get some take offs from newer JD, but not sure if the carriage will fit.

I've seen some of these, but was hoping a lesser expensive option.

Hello all, I have an older 2240 with 146 loader. The bucket is pin style, but would like to convert it to quick attach to I can get some pallet forks, as I use them more. What would be the best route to covert? Thanks.

So picked up the tractor yesterday. It does not have the hi/lo on the left side. Looks to have just throttle on right of steering wheel, hi/low/reverse on left and gears on right stick. Anyone happen to know the shifts patterns?

I don’t see a left lever of the steering wheel in the pics they sent. But will find out tomorrow.

I can post video when I check it out. From everything Ive seen online, i see 2 sets of shifters. So guessing it has hi/low gearing? But wont know for sure until the 28th.

Hey all, Looking at a '79 2240 4wd with fel. Tractor is about 3 hours away so I want to be on my toes checking it out. He sent me a video, but that's hard to tell. Said no leaks and everything works as it should. Said spent about 5k replacing some hydraulic lines, clutch, seals, etc. I have a...

I know right! 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️[emoji51]

Thank. I bought it used from a owner 6 years ago out of town. Tractor doesn’t get used too much and has been deff over due for flush/change. I am thinking it’s from someone trying to change gears (A/B/C) while it’s in motion as it’s a Hydro. I’ve let buddies borrow it and heard it grind before...

Not 100% on hours. I’m second owner. Maybe 1500 hours or so. The meter doesn’t work too well. First time I have serviced myself. No one ever mentioned it before.

So I went to change out all hydraulic fluid today. When I got to the screen it is a bit concerning as there are shavings and chunks of metal! Lots. Should I be concerned? ‘01 JD 4300 hydrostat

I tried the test today. Unfortunately, its still so wet out and I dont have anything close to load. But I drove the tractor up and down the drive with the forks on it, as it seems to be heavier than the bucket. It didnt seem to move much. But once I started hitting the bumps it started to...

Thank you. I will most def try this out and see what happens!

Hey all, Going to change out the Hydraulic and Transmission fluid shortly and figure I would maybe try and rebuild the bucket cylinders. The bucket tends to drop as soon as it has a load it in, or not, but faster with load. It is the bucket's curl that drops, not the lift. However, I dont...

I believe/hope it’s the rubber manifold. Have one in order. Thanks for all them reply’s.

Hello, I have a 2001 JD4300 and have developed a leak, but cannot pinpoint where it is coming from. I am attaching some pics, as if some of you are better inclined and may have had the same issue. Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. After posting I checked the tire pressure and it was a bit low. After I aired them up, the “canter” wasn’t as noticeable. I will play with it some more this week as time allows.. was just nervous as I lifted a heavy load the other day. Thanks

Was looking at the tractor today and it looks as if the front tire is not straight. Are these tractors to have a slight pitch to level out when load is on? Please advise? It the “passenger” side .

Well took the forms off, looks ok for first time ever pour concrete. Ps., Had a couple buddies over who helped decorate it, lol.

Well I ended up making a box 27x26x16. 6.5cuft, used about 11 80lb bags of quikrete. The calculation says abit over 800lbs.

OK, I want to make a cement ballast box for my JD4300. I have this older 3pt attachment that Im going to use. However, how big and how many bags of quickrete will i need to disquiet ballast? Thanks.

Hey all after searching and reading and more searching and reading, i would like to purchase some forks. But I am leaning towards the Titan forks as it wont break the budget. I see most 42-48" tines are out of stock.. Any one else know where to purchase? Thanks.

I normally don't do these kinds of things, but I am trying to help my Mother-in-law out the best I can. She has always been there for my wife and kids, and now she needs our help. I started a GoFund me page to help out with her bills, as her dog and husband, just passed away last week within...

attached are the pics. One from the outside and one from the inside.

I purchased a home with a 24'x32' pole barn with stone floor. The barn is only 5-8 years old and was built up in the back to accommodate being level with the driveway. The other day i was spraying around the barn and to my surprise some of the 2x6 tongue and groove is already rotting. Since...

Wanting to make a ballast box for my JD4300. Going to use some old 3-point parts I have laying around. Thinking about just boxing in the 3 point hook-up and adding cement/wire/rebar etc. My question is, how big and how many bags of cement do i use? I am not the greatest mathematician, nor...

I can get a killer deal on a MF4850 tiller. Problem is, it is setup for smaller tractors. Can I retrofit this to fit my JD4300? Thanks.

I can get a killer deal on a Massey 4850 tiller. It is setup for smaller tractors. Can this be retrofit to fit a JD4300?

Here are some pics of it after it was fixe the first time. This time it broke off further down in the threads.

I have a used 4300. The rear says it should be able to pick up about 2,200 lbs.? Well this is twice now the left lift linkage has broken on me. I had it welded once and now it broke in another spot. Both times in the threads. I was only picking up my disc at this time. Anyone have problems...

I have a JD4300 with the 420 loader. My hydraulic seems to fall rather quickly and leak come fluid on the bucket or curl cylinder. What is needed to rebuild or replace seal maybe? Please advise. Thanks.

Here are a couple after weld pics.

Hello all, I am new to the forum and somewhat to the tractor world. I have a Ford Jubilee for a couple of years that I am trying to sell. But I picked up a used 4300 with loader, scaper blade and box blade with trailer for a reasonable price (I believe). I have never owned a diesel...

Hello all, New member from Indiana. I have currently a Ford Jubilee and a JD 4300. Looking for great information here.
