I ordered a bran new 3046R with cab, the dealer hopes to see it by the middle of February. Sold my 4310 to the first guy that looked at it. Wrote me a check and ask if he could leave it in my barn for a week, and told me to go a head and use it. I won't run it at all unless it's an emergency.

The JD manual doesn't say anything about using synthetic oil in the engine. I been using JD 15w-40 and would like to switch to Shell Rotella 5w-40 synthetic for easer start ups when it's cold out, plus I think synthetic oil is much better for an engine. I use synthetic oil in just about...

It's getting that time of year again for the cold weather. This question is for my JD4310 Ehydro. Do any of you guy's use one of those magnetic heaters on the rear axle on their tractors to pre heat the hydro oil? Last year I could run the tractor for an hour before you could feel any heat...

Time to change the Ehydro oil and filters in my JD 4310, If I raise the FEL all the way up will the oil drain out of the cylinders? Or does it matter, I would like to get as much of the old oil out as possible. Hate to mix old with the new. Thanks

I have a log splitter with a 6.5 Hp engine, it has a 11 GPM 2 stage pump on it that has gone bad. If I were to replace the pump with a 13 GPM pump, would it speed up the movement of the cylinder, and would the engine be able to run the bigger pump? Or should I just replace the pump with an 11...

Just want to let everyone know that TSC has their bar oil on sale 5.99 per gallon. Bought a couple to try, I've been using Stihl, but getting tired of paying 10 plus dollars for a gallon.

I've noticed that when I use my 2350 the front axle builds pressure, wondering how hard that is on the front seals? After cool down it has a vacuum, maybe I should quit checking fluids so often. Thinking about drilling a very small hole (1/16) through the side of the plug and then drilling up...

I've looked at the front axle pivot and there is not a grease zerk that I can find. Does it not have one, or am I just not finding it? Tractor is a 4310 EHydro 4x4.

When I open a thread it just takes me wherever, why doesn't it start on the first post of the thread? This is the only forum I ever been on that does that, what setting can I change to resolve this problem? It's a PITA if I click on a thread and it takes me to the 20th post. Thanks

Can anyone give me the low down on using a box blade to get my driveway nice and flat? I had a sink hole when the weather broke, and it got so soft that the only thing I could get through it was the 4 x 4 truck or the tractor. I have a box blade, but not real sure how it's used best. I would...

I have a JD 4310 E Hydro and I'm getting ready to change the trans oil, the dealer sold me Hy-Gard low vis for year around use. After looking in the manual I see that this oil is only recommenced for up to 80 degrees. Is this right? I can use just plain Hy-Gard, but not sure about winter use...

I have a 4310 E Hydro and I can't seem to get the hand throttle to hold where I put it. I've adjusted it 3 different times, it works for awhile than it'll float back down while running and loose RPM's. The service manual that I have doesn't give a good brake down of this part, does anyone know...

Can anyone tell me if the hydro fluid flows through the system with just the engine running, or does the tractor need to be moving to get flow through the system? Tractor is 4310 JD E Hydro

I was looking through the manual for my 4310 and ran across this: Engine oil pressure light should go out within 5 seconds. NOTE: Set engine speed at full throttle if indicator light does not go out after 10 seconds. This doesn't seem right to me, am I the only one thinking this way?

I went and plowed snow with my 4310 and worked the tractor for about an hour, we had some friends drop by so I stop to visit, probably another hour. When I went back to my plowing the tractor would not move forward or back. I let it run for about 4-5 minutes, and everything started to work as...

I always warm up my tractor before use and was wondering about the hydraulic fluid, how long does it take it to warm up when it's cold? Does it hurt the hydro unit to run it with cold fluid, like below 0 degrees Fahrenheit? Tractor runs fine when cold, but I don't want to damage it in any way.

I'm thinking about getting a cab for my 4310 tractor. I would like a hard cab with a heater, if anyone makes one. Any suggestions? Who makes one that will fit? Or would I be better off trading my tractor in for one that already has a cab with heat?

Looking to install a coolant heater in my 4310, looked through the service manual and the owners manual to see where they mount to the engine, and the manuals don't show anything on them. I'm wondering if the directions that come with the heater is easy to follow? Read on another forum about...

I want to change the hyd oil in my log splitter, how do I get the oil to come out of the hyd cylinder? There is no drain plug in the tank, but I have a vacuum pump on a tank to remove it from the top side. I just want to get as much of the old oil out as possible. I was thinking I could put...

I posted this in the repair section and didn't get any reply's, so I'm trying it here. This is on a JD 4310 tractor I've done the test that is in the service manual for the fuel gage, remove the orange wire and gage goes to empty, touch the orange wire to the black and gage goes to full. On...

Fuel Gage, Need Help The fuel gage on my JD 4310 stays at 3/4 all the time, no matter how much fuel is in the tank. I'm thinking the sender has gone bad, and was wondering if anyone here had any ideas where to start testing?

How long do you guy's think I should warm up my JD 4310 in the winter, when say it's below 0 out? Also does the hydraulic fluid move through the system any time the engine is running, even though the tractor is sitting still? This is an E Hydro tractor. Thanks

Does anyone know what the HP cut off point is for the 3 cylinder in the JD tractors? I guess I'm wondering at what HP do they go to a 4 cylinder engine? I'm talking diesels here.

I've read about the roll overs and near misses on here to the point I'm almost afraid to use my tractor. I've been using tractors for a lot of years without problems, I guess ignorance is bliss. Also can someone tell me how a tractor can flip over backwards by going up hill? I know there not...

I've seen a few posts on here about broken plastic parts on your tractors. These can be repaired to like new with ABS pipe glue, the repair will only work if the broken pieces have never been glued before. Glue the pieces back together with the glue and let dry, this is important. When the glue...
