john deere 260

New to the forum with a pretty basic question but can't find anything on-line to help me with it.... Have a John Deere 260 Disk Mower with a foot/stand pin that won't lock in because the locking mechanism (foot/stand locking pin - see attached photo) is stuck and won't pop out (I'm assuming it...

Battling with some roots from a large stump I pulled the bucket to the left and heard a loud snap! A friend saw the picture and thought the weld wasn't complete and offered to try and weld it back. The replacement part LVA14995 is $500.00 (SWING CYLINDER ST150490). Anybody have an idea how to...

First time posting here guys... I have a 2002 JD 260 B series (says B on SN plate) that is having a drive issue. It's a 2-speed with only 2100 hours on it. I bought it a few months ago on auction and, initially, the right side felt like the brake was hanging up. You could feel and hear that...

John Deere 260 skid steer. On the right side steering the wheels turn at a slower rate than the left side. If no load you can compensate by letting off on the left side a little to match but with a load there is no power and they slow down even more so you just go in a circle. Any ideas on...

I purchase an old John Deere 260 disk mower a few years ago. The first year we used it, it occasionally left strips of grass uncut and the cut was ragged, but you could cut at speeds of 6-8 mph. We changed out the blades and that seemed to help, but it still cut fairly rough no matter what we...

What is the best way to obtain a repair and spec manual. Are there free sites? If not I own an older 165 and JD has no info anymore.

Does anyone have one of these? If so how does it work? I have the hardest time figuring out how and where to store my Backhoe when not on my machine and this looks AWESOME if it is durable. Stumbled across it when looking at the tooth bars hoping for one for my 1025r Backhoe Storage Dolly...

I found a "good deal" (I think) on a 2002 John Deere 260 skid loader. It seems to have much better visibility and cab accessibility than the Bobcat, which is much harder to get into than the Gehl 6635 I had. (The 260/6635s are larger machines than the 773 so I am not faulting Bobcat) The Deeres...

I've got a 260 mechanical self leveling loader on a 2940. Someone (who didn't know what they were doing) mounted this loader on the tractor and has been running it with the tractor's remotes. The top mechanical leveling linkages have been damaged and after some investigation I can see why...

Any suggestions on making it easier to hook up JD 260 disc mower. This thing is offset on the stand with hookup points offset and uneven. I adjusted my three point to match up but it doesn't travel good that way. I end up man handling and get in and out of tractor too many times.

Hello everyone: After reading a lot of opinions, I ordered a 260 backhoe with 12" bucket for my 2305 this week. Also ordered ripper with trencher and bolt-on thumb from Richard at Bro-Tek. I am having the dealer install the 260. I expect to use it for the first time by June. There is no...

My brother was told his recently acquired used 260 skid loader has a high and low flow hydraulics. He needs to use it with high flow. It there a lever and location to change this? Thanks

I am posting this in several JD sites here for assistance. My brother has a 260 skidloader and was told it has high and low flow hydraulics. He needs high flow, is there a lever to change/adjust the same? Thanks

My brother has a JD 260 skid loader he got recently. He was told it has high and low flow hydraulics. If that is the case he cannot locate any lever to put it in one or the other. What he needs to oprerate needs the high flow. Any ideas/suggestions for him? Thanks

I need to replace a transmission pully on a John Deere 260. In order to purchase the new pully, I need to know the location of the transmission number. I have been unsuccessful at my attempts to locate it.

Hello, Never owned a disc mower before, always used a swather or sickle bar. From what I gather disc mower is the way to go for my needs, the question is which one? Looking at a New Holland 616 and John Deere 260 both going for $4,500 at local dealers. Plan to pull it with our Ford 5610...

I'm looking for cheap street pads for my backhoe. I have considered screwing a 2x6 onto the stabilizer feet and then attaching an old tire to that, but I wondered if anyone had a better idea. This needs to be built or bought by next week to complete a project I've been doing for my brother-in-law.

I've just completed the first pass design for a backhoe ripper I'm getting ready to build. I would like opinions on it before I go into production. The goal is to build a better ripper than the brotek that everyone seems to be using for the JD 260 backhoe. I want to be able to cut through...

All of the sudden the belt that runs the PTO to the deck started throwing the belt off. Bought a new one and it got destroyed within 5 minutes of cutting. Anyone know what's going on here?

Hi I was just at the John Deere 'parts' website, and I was advised that the John Deere part # BM19556 "Street Pad Kit" for my JD 260 back hoe is NLA. I guess that I'll have to make some? Has anyone made their own, and if they did, what did they use? Thanks...

Comments, pro and con, on a John Deere 260 skid loader with 2000 hours. Thanks.

Those of you that have the 260 model, pros and cons and any general comments. Looking at one with 2000 hours. Thanks

I have a late 80's JD 260 lawn tractor that I mowed with last week. Over the past few months I noticed that I would have to wiggle the shifter lever to get it to start. It just wont crank at all. I assume it is the neutral or PTO saftey switch. I just cant seem to find them or access them in...
