Stored upright on Harbor Freight metal cart, indoor shop, unheated, in Deep South. Overall very good indoor environment. Low dust. IIRC the set except tanks is from HF as well. Regulators are always stored purged and then backed out. Little to no uv or other wx exposure. I need to have a...

You folk make sense - I'll replace the hoses, regulators, and connectors. There is a Hobart set on Amazon for $250 or so, not worth the risk using old old rubber stuff. I don't expect the tanks will be refillable without re-certifying so I'm not concerned about that, but I would like to be...

I have an old, 15 years or so, oxygen/acetylene set in my shop over the years. jThe tanks look good, and as far as I can tell both tanks are still nearly full. Is this safe to use, assuming the hoses, regulators, etc. are in good shape? Thanks,

The U.S. has borrowed a huge lot of money, but very inexpensively, due to low rates over the past few years. Have we borrowed too much? If rates do double, or eventually even triple, which doesn’t seem too far fetched, I wonder can the government afford the equivalent rise in interest expense...

I used to get a fair share of my income from fixed income investments - 2, 5, and 10 year Treasury Bonds, CDs, and so on. Rates used to run 4% or better on the safest notes and even higher for not much added risk. No more of course, if you can find anything near 2% good on you. There isn't...

Thanks, guys. About what I thought but worth asking. I did order one of the Grover's belts (e-bay), about $70 with tax and shipping. Pretty stiff for a v-belt. I also found a couple of 5V 166" belts on line but they're about the same price so that's likely as good as I'll get. The 166"...

Hi, I need a deck belt for Ferris IS600Z, Model 5901700, 52". Ferris wants over $100 for this belt which seems way too much The specs are: Belt, Spb/5V-Sect, 166.7 El, Part Number: 5105529 I know it's a 5v belt, but I can't find out which length to order from aftermarket. The 166.7" EI...

The water pump issue I had is corrected. My tractor is a 4320, 2006 model, 950 hrs. I love it. HOWEVER: I still have a leak, around the timing cover. Sealant (no gasket used), has failed. The Deere dealer estimates 16 - 22 rs. at $120 per, or nearly $3000 plus parts (if any). To basically...

2006 model 4320, 900 hrs, that I love has developed a coolant leak around the timing cover. I understand this is a fairly common problem wit this model and is difficult and expensive to fix. Oh well. My question is whether it's risking further damage to wait on this repair for a couple...

Hi all: I have a 4320 e-Hydro, love it. It came with a Howse 6' rotary cutter that is quite heavy, and if the front end is not weighted, steering is not as good as it should be. The tractor also came with 4 ea. 42# front end weights, 168# total, and with these the tractor handles fine. They...

Hi Folks: Does anyone know how to do this on the 4x20 seires of compact Utility tractors? One of the top bolts backs out into the fan pulley and will not clear it, so it cannot back out far enough to be remove to let the pump come off. Ridiculous. To remove the pulley it looks like the...

The Deere books for 4x20 Series Compact Utility Tractors say to clean the hydraulic suction screen at first 400 Hrs., while changing hyd fluid, then periodically thereafter. It is a pain to remove the strainer using the book instructions. The strainer is inside the transmission, but extends...

As title says, I have a. 2006 4320 that i love. But I知 getting older and need to replace the stock seat with something with more shock absorbtion and comfort. Can anyone give a recommendation about what to get that will fit? Thanks, gbw

Can a box blade pulled by a quick hitch be 'canted'? I don't use the box scraper much, but when I do I sometimes want to 'cant' or tilt it using uneven control arms to scrape a shallow ditch - for rain runoff for example. Can this still be done using the Harbor Freight quick hitch? Thanks,

Tractor is JD4320, I love it. I have a Howse 72" rotary cutter along with a box scraper and rake. Received a HF quick hitch that may work, if it's heavy/strong enough. I've ordered 3 sets of pin adaptors (bushings). The pto shaft/clutch assembly is now too short. Must have been marginal at...

Re: HELP with 4320 SCV not re-centering FIXED See photo. The inner spring retainer was rusted and binding on the curl spool (shaft on the right end in photo), holding the spring in it's compressed position so it could not push the spool back to center. Actually I thought I'd find the far...

Hello: I posted this earlier in another, probably incorrect forum, and I'm stuck: I put the fel on my 5 year old 4320 this spring, and the SCV control stick does not try to re-center from left (roll bucket up) position. The other 3 positions work fine and re-center, and the bucket roll-up...

Put the fel on my 5 year old 4320 this spring, and the SCV control stick does not try to re-center from left (roll bucket up) position. The other 3 positions work fine and re-center, and the bucket roll up works, it just will not try to return the stick to center. Is there a spring on this...

Hello: Has anyone changed their trans/hydraulic fluid on a Deere 43x0 series e-Hydro? 2006 model - the book says remove the elbow on the suction side between the trans and the pipe to the filter. This the firwt time the oil has been changed, the tractor has 400 hrs - it doesn't get a lot of...

Hello, I'm changing trans fluid on my 2006 e-Hydro Deere 4320, but I cannot remove the 'elbow' between the transmission and the pipe to the oil filter. (400 hrs, it doesn't get a lot of use but I enjoy it.) Deere book says to remove this elbow to get at the suction screen for cleaning. I...

Hi fellow tractor folk: I have a JD 4320 CUT with an old, very heavy duty (I think) 5' rotary cutter attached. It gets used a good bit. The cutter is driven through a 1.5" input shaft, connected to the PTO via the normal shaft, U-joints on both ends. The 1.5" bore of the U-Joint on the...

Our home has a standing seem type metal (painted steel) roof approx. 16 years old. It seems to be in good condition except some of the screw are backing out. It's a steep pitch (12/12 or so), so it's beyond my ability to repair. Local roofing company, who are supposed to be reputable, say...

I have a 2006 4320 hydro w/loader which I like very much. Don't use it a lot, mainly for mowing and as a pricey toy. Looking at the engine today I saw the placard on the front top of the cyl. head stating power at 39kw@2400 rpm. This is higher than the 48hp advertised for this model and I...

I have a JD 4320, 2006 model w/300 hrs. Used mainly for mowing and bush cutting, FEL stuff and other general tractor duty around the place. I don't really need it but it's a lot fun and I enjoy it. Enormous power, e-Hydro trans, a wonderful machine. Anyhow. It's done for the winter, and...

I have a Generac 5550 gasoline powered generator, B&S standard consumer type gas OHV engine. I seldom use it but I do change the oil every year. The manual says it's best to use 10w-30 Synthetic oil. I don't have any on hand, but I do have Shell Rotella 15w-40 for use in the tractor (Deere...

From a neophyte, on behalf of all neophytes, this question: For a 'normal' tractor if there is such a thing, does the engine have to be running at full power in order to have the hydraulic system at deliver full force and speed? Asked another way, if the engine is rated full power at 2700rpm...

Still pretty new at all of this. Had a Ford Jubilee for years, finally sold it for an '06 JD 4320 (175 hrs) eHydro w/400x, which I really like - man, what power, comfort, and ease of use! Anyhow. I have a question and I hope you more experienced guys can help. For whatever reason the...

I have an '06 JD 4320 eHydro w/400x loader. (Love it). Use it principally as a toy on 24 acres and some mowing and maintenance chores. Does anyone know if it's feasible and/or sensible to add the 'economy PTO' feature to this tractor? It has plenty of power, I think, for using the PTO at...

Does anyone use an aftermkt. supplier for belts, hoses, and such? I need a fanbelt for a JD 4320. This is a simple nylon serpentine belt, should cost $15 or so. Local dealer wants over $50 plus tax, plus I go get it. I understand inventory costs, carrying costs, and so on. And I don't...

I'm fairly new to tractors and such....asking for help! I have a Deere 4320, almost new, eHydro. Also a very old MF 5' heavy duty cutter. No pto shaft clutch of any kind, straight direct drive. The pto engagement on the tractor is fairly violent. So, in the hopes of reducing wear and tear...
