john deere 300

Hi guys, how do I know the capacity of my Hydraulic pump? I have three choices. 6.5GPM, 13GPM or 23.5GPM.

Good afternoon, I recently purchased a John Deere 300 Industrial tractor w/ loader. I have been working through the leaks and have fixed a few. It is leaking from the power steering shaft out the side of the transmission. I found this thread which helped me locate and purchase the correct...

i'll try and keep it simple. 2007 jd 790 with a 300 series loader. Raises and lowers as it should. Then it gets interesting. Move the handle to the left, it dumps, move the lever to the right, it curls up, move it further to the right, it dumps. yeah - does two things by moving the handle to the...

I just got a John Deere 300 Diesel backhoe. It will run on fuel sprayed in the intake. I have replaced the fuel shut off solenoid and it is now allowing fuel to the injector line ports out of 2 of them but not one. The 2 are flowing good fuel but the third is hardly dribbling. Any advice. Or do...

Hey guys, i am in the process of purchasing a jd 300 backhoe. its in decent shape. the two main concerns im having with this unit is for one the injection pump is not working, i believe it to be the electronic fuel shut off. But my main thing is the amount of slop it has in the backhoe. can...

When I fixed the leaking diesel fuel tank I removed and drained the hydraulic tank. Filled the tank back up and filled the transmission to the proper fluid level. Loader doesn稚 work. The stabilizers work fine, some of the backhoe functions but not all cylinders are working. The tractor runs in...

I have a jd 300 with front loader, and box blade, everytime i use to box blade my hydraulics die, but if i take the box blade off i have no issues, i was thinking that my 3 point hitch lift is leaking around the piston in the rockshaft housing, is there a better was to diagnose this?

Hi everyone! I have a jd 300 Industrial tractor backhoe and loader I am having a leak from the pressure control valve I have replace every seal / o-ring on the valve and it still looks like it is leaking from the casting Has anyone had a casting pinhole / crack in that valve before? It...

Hi All I have a leak coming from what I think is the pressure control valve located on the side of the tractor- under the foot rest- above the filter. I watched a video on youtub on this and it was the fitting going into the valve. The leak is coming out of what looks like the side of the...

As noted in a post a month back I lucked into 2 314s for free... Finally got one back together and mowed for awhile.. but as I returned to the shed oil started pouring.. it was the seal behind the flywheel. Installed it yesterday, ran for a few mins..all was good.. went to mow today and nada...

She has a Clark forklift on her and I need a 3pt and a PTO would be nice. Anyone know what tractors the 300 is interchangeable with? Thanks so much. Ron

I have a jd300 diesel with a 9250 back hoe all 1969 birthday. The back hoe swings like crazy back and forth. It looks like the only pin that is not adjustable is the culprit. Has any one delt with this and how involved is it. I was a mechanic and never are afraid to get in over my head. Joe

Is there anyone out there that makes replacement cylinders for John Deere 300 class loaders? John Deere is awful proud of theirs at over $600 each. Tks, Kev.

Any guestimate as to how many hours per gallon I should expect on my '77 JD 300 lawn tractor? (Kohler 16hp) I'm just trying to gauge how it's running. Assume running full throttle. I'm estimating about 1.5 hours based on a Briggs 12HP I have on another LT that seems to run about 2 hours on...

Hi I'm looking for the head and gasket for a Kohler k341 45-522-40 off a 1971 john Deere 300 rider. I had a bolt shear off and ended blowing the gasket and cracking the head all the way through. The cheepest I can find both is $204 through John Deere. Any leads would be greatly welcomed

I have a John Deere 300 Industrial that I think is a 1970. Went to use it in January to push some snow and it would only go in reverse. It has the shuttle shift and when you put it in gear and shuttle forward it engages, but has no power. Reverse works fine. Need to get it fixed so I can...

I have changed oil , filters but no forward motion. it stared slowly and got worst over a short period of time. Help Please a old NAM vet.

I've had my jd300 since 97. Has always worked great. Sometime ago (years) it started leaking trans fluid at the rear hoe controls. No biggy, it still worked fine. Last fall I moved it to where I could use it to move snow. We then got hit by really cold weather here in Pennsylvania. When I...

I have a john deere 300 with a 33 tiller I need to make a pto shaft for it I would like know what size the pulley is . I not going to pay 400 or 500 dollars for it when I can make one

Hi All removed oil pan to remove broken dip stick. found anti freeze in oil. engine was supposed to be overhauled by PO. I have put at least 150 hours on it always ran well.Suggestions ?? should I try to just re torque the head ?? or go for a new head gasket (hoping that's the problem ) I have...

Did anyone else have trouble with equipment failure during the subzero temps that moved through il ? My john deere 300 broke a connecting rod when I started it in below zero weather , but I plowed with it the night before

Any comments

Does anybody have any 300 deere parts or attachments for sale or trade ?

This is the 1St tractor ever owned. I just replaced a hydraulic hose (to power steering I believe).. Now I have 2 additional leaks coming from the housing unit (name unknown) to the right of where the battery is located on this tractor. This unit has about 5 hydraulic hoses attached to it...

Well, bought a used 8' finish mower (LMC 96) and began the restoration. As I was looking for a proper tow tractor, I stumbled on this one 20 miles away. With its super tight turning radius, turf tires, power steering and 43 HP on gasoline, I bought it. Fully restored by a very competent...

Going to look at a JD 300 loader/backhoe Friday. Listed as needing new hydraulic pump asking $4000 oh I. What do you all think? I started a thread in the hydraulic section about the pump. Photos:

Looking for a left battery cover for my 300. Also someone to tell me how to get the brake master cylinder out,(do I need to lift the frame ? )a service manual would be great to have Thanks In advance !!

I have a John deere 300 industrial. The lift is strong but slow. The guy I bought it from put new springs on the rock shaft and all the fluids and filters. Could it need a new pump or is there a valve somewhere that may be stuck open? He said something about a valve that you have to split the...

I am looking at pallet forks used on a Deere 300 Loader. I have a 300CX loader -- will the pallet forks fit my loader? It is a Titan attachment.

I am gonna buy a John Deere 300 but it has a oil pan leak. So it needs a new oil pan gasket. How hard is that kind of a job.?

I have a John Deere 300 and it has a major oil pan leak. It needs a neh oil pan gasket. . How hard is it to fix?

Hello; Is there a way to determine the differance between a Standard 300cx Bucket and a Heavy Duty 300cx Bucket? I don't find any Data plates or tags on them. thanks, nicholas

Post been Deleted Thanks anyway:confused3:: DeepNDirt

got the machine stuck pretty good yesterday. went to get a chain ,came back ,no start,can't get it to turn over any amount ( like it's locked up ) all I get is a buzzing sound from the starter area. like it's trying to engage but flywheel won't move .Ran fine before the lock up ? Any clues ? I...

I have no brakes on my machine. Drained and changed all hydo. fluid and filters. was real ugly grey fluid. put new boots on shift levers.and now keep in the barn out of weather. Tried bleeding them several times. no luck. last time I bled them the fluid was looking milky again after only 20-30...

I've inherited this tractor from my dad. I have a silly question. Below the key/ignition there is a toggle the clicks into 3 or 4 different positions. Is this some type of choke? Unable to track down what this does - when it is in one of the positions the tractors makes an awful noise when I...

I am looking for a hydraulic inner pump for my jd 300 loader backhoe. It is not the outside pump. Can you help with this. I need to find this part

I have a problem with my hydraulics a part under the left side floor board cast number R38323 it has three hoses hooked to it and is cracked i need to find a replacement part for it.

Local cemetery has this tractor with a leaky loader control valve. Shop states that the valve is worn and not repairable. What valve will work as a replacement?:)

I have a JD300 Industrial tractor and when I start it it skips and black smoke comes out of the muffler until it warms up a little. I have put a new float and carb kit on it. I installed a shut off valve on the fuel line and as long as I shut the valve off after use it is fine. Does anyone have...

Hi I am very new to communicating via forum. I have a still working JD 300 with attachments, and would like to sell it. I wanted to know what would be a fair price to ask. Here are the particulars. Collector Item: 1977 John Deere 300 hydrostatic tractor: 48 rotary mower, front plow, Snow...

I have an older 300 JD Lawn & Garden Tractor that won't move, it worked last fall when I put it away. It had a slow transmission fluid leak, which this year I replaced the seal and filled it up, won't raise or lower the deck either, starts and runs fine, just won't move. Any thoughts?

I'm a new member. Not sure if this is the right category for a mechanical question. I'm looking at a JD 300 Industrial loader backhoe to purchase. It has several problems but the one I am mostly concerned about is the shifting problem. This tractor has a manual tranny with two shift levers on...

Hi, I have an old JD 300 loader backhoe. I have a welding business and do mostly ornamental work, but have done much maintenance and repair over the years. I did a big job on this old hoe, and when presented with the bill was told I could wait for my money, or give him a little and own it, as...

I'm looking for advice on how to remove the loader from my old JD 300 backhoe. The manual details how to remove the hoe, but says nothing about the loader. I know I can get it off one way or another, but I'll bet some one out there could save me a lot of profanity and time. Thanks,

I just bought a j.d. 300 loader/backhoe, which I believe is a 1970. I havent had the chance to get it running yet, but I believe it is something simple, it was running fine when I went to look at it before I bought it. I am going to replace the battery, because the old one is dead anyway, as...

My dad has a 1973 JD 300 industrial with loader ad 3-pt hitch. The loader worked ok when it was really cold (Nebraska in January) but got weak when the system was at operating temp. He installed a rebuilt pump (the exterior one in front of the engine). Now the loader only works when the...

My boss here has an older 60's-70" JD 300 (like the 1020 from what I understand) that he uses a few times a year. Recently changed the filter, and a hydrulic hose, and fluid. Everything seemed to be working fine for a few hours, but after sitting outside (Wisconsin winters time) upon starting...

Here is my first try at a loader part. its a pallet fork and/or round bale spear.

Here is the round bale spear i made for my JD's, still need to add the 2nd forks.

I've been following some of the projects here since I bought my new tractor. There's a lot of great information here and some pretty clever ideas. I finally have a chance to give something back. I sold my John Deere 318 tractor after purchasing a new 2305. I kept the 54" snow plow and decided...

Hey guys I just came across your site and wanted to pick your brains on a potential deal I am working on. I am new to the tractor world, and am looking at a JD 300 and not the riding mower. I found a 300 with the bucket loader and backhoe attachments on it for sale. The current owner has done a...

I have a 70's John Deere 300 Industrial tractor/loader (similar to a 1020) with a JD9250 backhoe attachment which has served me well for 15 years of occasional use. Recently, it has developed a hydraulic problem. First, after using it for hours, suddenly the loader and backhoe would not operate...

Hi, I have a JD 790 and am thinking about installing a loader on it. I'm a little tight when it comes to money:D , but Ive always heard good things about FELs. I can get one for about $3000 new. What would you guys do?

Hello all, this is my first post on this site. I'm happy to be here. With that said I recently purchased a 3320 with a new 300x loader. I inquired about the 300cx loader(the one I really wanted). The dealer I'm getting it from said the 300x is the best match for the machine. I don't entirely buy...
