I have a brand new JD open station 3046R tractor and I have installed a Summit Hydraulics rear and front remote kit. I need advice on the best place to tap into 12v power. The kit came with a device called " add a fuse", but my fuse block has a sealed cover and the is no entry from the back of...

I haven’t used my 641 for about a year. When i fired it up recently, it started and ran fine but the lift arms do not move until the lift lever is about half way through its stroke. For the last half of the stroke it is fine. Hyd level is fine. Any thoughts on where to start?

I am looking at the Kubota RTV-X900 to use for cleaning a cow barn, horse barn, and a goat barn on a small farm. The large majority of what we clean ends up being pine shavings that we use for bedding. I would like to increase the dump capacity with sideboards because the pine shavings have more...

Good morning, Can I put rear chains on my 749 all steer without rubbing issues? Thanks, Bob W

This is going to seem like a weird question but I have a 2017 X738 with the Kawasaki motor which stinks when I start it up. The exhaust smell is so nasty, I will not start it up in my shop. It is better once it has warmed up but still really smells. It has 40 hours on it and has smelled since...

I recently started doing volunteer work at an animal sanctuary and they have 2 tractors. A JD 2520 Hydro and an oldie but goodie JD 950. People will start these tractors and put them right to work with no warm up. For example, it is -6 F here this morning. How long do you folks let your...

I have bought a New To Me L3400 with FEL and want to add a 2 spool remote valve. I have a pretty good idea where and how I will mount it, but I need help with the plumbing. I would appreciate help from anyone out there there that has installed the OEM remotes or has done an aftermarket install...

Front tire chains on X738 I bought a new X738 with the 47" snowblower at the end of last winter. I works very well but I am looking for more traction. I have rear chains and built a weight box. Has anyone out there put on front chains? Thanks, Bob W

Good morning, I cannot figure out where these bumpers go from looking at the CNH parts page. Could someone snap a picture of one of these bumpers on their tractor? It will be much appreciated. Bob W

I also have an issue with my 861 Lift Arms after rebuilding the lift cover. The original issue was that the lift arms did not lift very far and in position control, the arms just bobbed up and down. I pulled the lift cover and found that the cam follower pin was worn half way through. I...

Hello, I am looking at a JD 445 with SN 50193. I believe that makes it a 1997 model. My concern is the issue with the plastic cam gear in the Kawasaki motor. Is there any hard info on when the gear was changed to steel? The unit comes with a dual stage blower, it has 991 hours on it and comes...

Can a JD 4210 be fitted with Power Beyond and a rear set of remotes? Thanks, Bob W

My " new-to-me" 1960 Ford 861 appears to have a carb issue. It will start OK, but when I try to give it any throttle, it just tries to run away, with regards to high RPM. I took off the carb and disassembled it and cleaned it, and, no difference. I was first thinking it was a governor issue but...

I just bought an 861 and spent the day changing fluids and doing a little clean up. I noticed an oil leak at a spot on the block just to the right of the dipstick. Some previous owner had tried to put some epoxy over it but it was still weeping. I cleaned the entire area thinking it might be a...

I can get up from the seat while in gear and the motor does not shut off. I can also get off the tractor with the PTO engaged, snd the motor does not die. I have checked the seat switch and it seems fine. Any ideas? Thanks, Bob W

I have my 641 in my shop for a winter project and after pulling out the junk battery box I started to clean up the throttle linkage. I noticed a spring on the New Holland parts list that is missing. It is #20 in the pic and it is called a " Throttle Control Governor Compensating Spring". My...

I am going this weekend to look at a Kubota L3750DT which is in parts and pieces. The owner says that it needs a new motor but the old motor comes with it. If I buy it and have to find a different motor, can any of you Kubota folks tell me what motors will fit this model. The engine model that...

I have a Ford 641 and would love to have advice on whether or not it is practical to try to put this loader on it. The loader is on craigslist and I haven't called about it yet. The add says it came off a Jubilee. Any and all comments appreciated. Bob W

Morning, After a piston pump rebuild I would like to check how much pressure it is putting out. Where in the system can I check it? My plan was to plump a gauge into the plug on the side of the pump but I am not sure that will show full pressure. Thanks, and happy new year. Bob W

My new to me Ford 641 has a very odd hydraulic oil level issue. When I brought the tractor home I changed all the fluids and used UTF for the transmission, hydraulic reservoir, and rear end. After a couple of months of use I noticed that the hydraulic dipstick showed that the fluid level was...

I looked at an 841 today and I need advice on what it is worth. The 3 point lift works fine, even cold. PTO works fine, it is very greasy and dirty but nothing that cannot be cleaned up. It is priced at $2700 with a Ford loader. The loader has a dedicated pump, hyd controls, and hyd reservoir...

My 641 blows a lot of blue smoke so I just checked the compression. All cylinders are right around 115 lbs. The shop manual I bought lists the cylinder compression as 205 PSI @ 1000rpm. 205 seems really high for a motor that old. Can someone tell me if the 205 # is correct? Thanks, Bob W

I just purchased a Ford 641 to use as a dedicated chipper tractor and I have an issue that I need to get fixed. The former owner said that if the 3 pt hitch would not lift, partially remove the threaded plug on the Hyd pump to remove the air. Sure enough it is an issue. If I purge the air, it...

Hello, I am looking to buy a second tractor to use just with my Salsco chipper and I have found a "72" Ford 4000 for sale at a local tractor dealer in an "as is" condition. It is a diesel and starts and runs OK, it has a FEL which has a bucket that is completely rotted out, the 3 point hitch...

My manual for my 3320 recommends that my rear's ( R4 15x19.5) be inflated to 20-31 lbs for unloaded, unballasted tires. My tractor is always ballasted and my tires are loaded with Rim Guard. What pressure should I be running? Thanks, Bob W

I have some type of Drive issue going on with my 3320. I changed the hydro filter and oil in the fall and I had the feeling something was different but couldn't really put my finger on what it was. Between the oil change and now i really haven't worked the tractor until this weekend trying to...

Does the JD 4105 CUT have an aluminum rear end? My 3320 does and I am thinking about trying to get away from aluminum. Thanks

I am getting ready to change my hydraulic oil and filter and am wondering if there is a "suction screen" that needs to be cleaned on my model. I asked a mechanic at the local JD shop, and he said he didn't think my model had the "suction screen" that other models have. I also cannot find any...

I would like to put inline flow control on my backhoe stabilizers so that when I bring them up, I can control how fast they come up so that I shock the rear end less. I tend to bring them up quickly and since my 3320 has an aluminum rear housing it makes me nervous. Bob W

I live in Central ME and if we have another open winter like last, I would like to try to get some wood out of my swamp. My JD 3320 has the R4_15X19.5 rear tires so can I hear suggestions on what type of chains would work best for me and where to buy them. Thanks :)

I am going to buy a skidding winch for my JD 3320 and it has come down to the Farmi 351P and the Wallenstein FX65. My local dealer has quoted me $3955 for the Farmi, including 3 sliders and 3 chokers. The Wally is quoted just $150 less. With so little difference between the quotes, I am leaning...

It is time for my second Hydraulic oil and filter change and I have a question. I have read other posts about the hyd change and folks talk about cleaning the " suction screen". I never did locate it on my first change so could someone chime in and tell me where it is. I spent some time on JD...

I took delivery on a new 48" W. R. Long OBG2 with extra bottom tines about 2 weeks ago and after trying it out using my 3rd SCV valve for the grapple function, I went ahead and installed a rear remote 12v Diverter Valve so that I could keep my HTL hooked up all the time. Even though I do...

Once I can get at my backhoe I am going to start a hydraulic project which will require 12 volts back at the backhoe control. Can anyone give me some advice on how to easily pull power off the ignition circuit on my 3320. Bob

I am going to look at a USED Salsco 627 on Saturday morning and am wondering if anyone can tell me anything about the drive train in it. Is there a drive belt involved to increase the flywheel speed? I was unable to find a parts list online but I really would like some info about it before I lay...

Up here in Maine, it just keeps snowing, and my 3320 just keeps piling it up. Boy have I had some seat time this winter!!!

Can anyone tell me how much a JD 300CX bucket weighs? I am looking at a 4-in1 bucket and am curios how much lift I will lose. Bob

I have a JD 3320 CUT and had made the decision to purchase a Long 4-in-1 bucket in the spring and now it appears that I am having second thoughts. I will try to outline what my tractor / land goals are and I will appreciate any and all opinions. I own 30 acres of wooded property in Central Maine...

Was Power Beyond an option on the 4010 CUT. I traded my 4010 for a 3320 but am curious about the 4010 because my dealer told me that PB was not an option on the 4010, but I am now very curious about it. Thanks, Bob

I am posting for a close friend who has a MF235 with a Continental motor that has a bent distributor shaft. He was able to buy the entire assembly for a MF motor but cannot for the life of him find part # 1047026M91 (distributor assembly ) for his Continental. The entire motor was overhauled...

My Deere 3320 has many 12mm cap screws marked "BM/HT" on the head.Does anyone know the grade cap screw they are for torquing?

Is there an easy and safe way to stop a log splitter cylinder from retracting all the way. My splitter is made for 24" wood and I cut mine 14-16". I would like to save the time of the cylinder going ALL the way home.

I changed the front end oil in my 3320 at 137 hrs. and the oil I drained out apeared dark and cloudy. There did not appear to be any machining chips in the oil but I was able to use a magnet and get some metalic sludge. After a call to the dealer we agreed I would redrain the fresh oil after 50...

I switched my Woods BH-80X manual thumb to a hydraulic thumb which runs off my 3rd SCV remotes. It works awesome but I do have one question for the guru's. When I swing the thumb out about 1/2 way and then curl the bucket to meet it, I can move the bucket backwards if I swing the thumb towards...

So here it is, I crawl underneath my 3320 today to start my first Hydro filter and oil change and low and behold, my Woods backhoe sub frame is about 1/2 an inch in front of the filter cover. It comes across at an angle and I think I can get at the cap screws holding the cover in place but I can...

Can someone tell me what I should have for a charging voltage when my JD 180 lawn tractor is running. I cannot determine if the battery is bad or if it is not getting a high enough charge voltage. Any help will be appreciated.

The parts manual for my 3320 lists 2 hydraulic filters. One is an inline filter, part #LVA14167, and my question is about this filter. Do folks normally change this filter when doing a hydraulic oil change? Is it just associated with the power sterring? My local Deere parts counter said they had...

I am lookoing to adapt a front mounted snowblower to a springtime lawn sweeper but I need to find a round brush that is about 3 feet long and about 2 foot in dia. with steel or nylon bristles. Any ideas?

In the spring I want to add a top link hydraulic valve to my 3320 and I need to ask a few questions. I apoligize ahead of time for using incorrect technical terms. I bought the tractor with a backhoe so it has live hydraulics already plumbed and I also bought it with the factory installed 3rd...

I just did my first engine oil change on my new 3320 at 66 hours and even though the manual says it holds 5.1 qts with filter change, it only took 4.5 quarts to bring it 2/3rds of the way between the dipstick hash marks. Anyone else run into this? Seems odd to me to be that far off.......

After trading my JD 4010 with front mounted snowblower for my NEW 3320 and then hearing the price of a new front mounted snowblower I came up with this solution. I read every thread concerning the FEL plow debate and worked with Northernmainer's design and came up with this. The beauty of it is...
