    what weight bracket is this?

    Picked up for my little 830 mowing tractor, wonder what models it was originally for? JD or aftermarket? It fits perfectly and will make a great bumper.

    Unknown part on 2018 bat wing mower

    Picked up a model 2018 20' shredder. The mounts for the wing lift cylinders have a part bolted on that doesn't appear to serve any purpose. The part is sort of an L shape, really more like a question mark. I can find no mention of it in the operator's manual. JD parts calls it a strap, part...

    Diagnosing hydraulic problems - long post

    I recently picked up a JD 830 (3 cylinder) as I needed a small utility tractor with a horizontal muffler for bush-hogging near trees, mowing near the stock tanks, etc. It is a 74 model, hours unknown, good tinwork and rear tires, fair maintenance. I bought it from the son of the original...

    new load shaft seals are leaking

    New to me JD 830 (3 cylinder), load shaft seals were leaking and the whole load shaft was in pretty sorry shape, noticeable wear where the seals would ride, threads stripped, etc. So I wanted to fix it right, got all new parts from JD, load shaft, bushings, seals, etc. Cleaned out hydraulic...

    Finish mower ID

    Came with a recent tractor purchase. No ID tags I can find, but built pretty heavy. Any idea who made it?

    School me on load shaft seals

    I've seen lots of posts on here about the problems with them on 4020's and others, and since I have a 4020, I figured I would have to do that fix sometime. As it turns out, I picked up a 3 cylinder 830 that needs new load shaft seals, so I guess the time has come to tackle that job. I've...

    Power steering rebuild in 830 (3 cylinder)

    Power steering is leaking fluid, believe it is all from the top right under the steering wheel, but not sure that is the only source. How hard is the rebuild? Is it just replacing seals, or can it be more involved? Any special tools? Are all usually needed parts available? Assume the...

    303 oil replacement

    OK, I know that 303 hydraulic oil had legal problems, and I guess it is not available anymore. 303 was the spec oil for my JD 4020, and I need to pick up another 5 gallons to have on hand. I stopped by the local tractor supply place figuring that the new hydraulic oil would say whether it was...

    15' versus 20' mower

    Old batwing mower is on it's last lap, frame is cracked in several places and I'm shopping around for a replacement. My pastures are pretty flat, but do have some low places where water drains, some terraces to control water flow. My old mower was 13 1/2', so looking at used 15' mowers. I...

    touchless front end alignment check

    OK, not strictly tractor related, but tractor front ends need alignment too. Daughter took her Toyota in for service, they have a new Hunter alignment checking system. They drive the car over a device that measures alignment with lasers and immediately gives a report whether your car needs...

    hay processors

    I've seen the videos of people feeding cattle in the winter with hay processors that can carry up to 6 bales, it looks like a great time saver. But curious about what happens with the twine or net wrap on the hay, I assume the grinder just chews it up. Even if you tried to remove it, it's hard...

    4020 air filter problems followup

    Last week, I posted looking for the Donaldson part number for the rubber baffle plate in a 4020 diesel dry air filter. I finally found that a Donaldson P105050 should sub for a JD R39828. But by the time I pay shipping and sales tax, it is about the same price as the JD part.

    4020 air filter problems

    '67 diesel 4020 powershift with dry type air filter. I believe it is a Donaldson. The rubber cup that fits into the metal bottom has crumbled due to age, and I need a replacement. My parts manual says it is a R 39828 dust cup baffle. JD online shows that part number to be an isolator and it...

    whatizit?

    Bought some equipment from a local power plant that was shut down, and a bunch of these were in a box. Some kind of latch, but any idea how or where it was used?

    tubeless valve core

    One of my tractors has tubeless tires on the back, and yesterday I broke off the end of the air valve. It has the TR618A type valve cores where you can add fluid. The valve stem is not seated on a flat part of the rim, but rather on one of the profile steps. So the rubber grommet is profiled...

    Proper windshield adhesive for skid steer door

    Broke the glass front door out of a JD 317G skid steer. It had a rubber molding / door seal around the glass that was attached with some kind of adhesive. I've got a new glass ordered, but salvaged the old rubber molding and plan to re-use it as it is in good shape. The old adhesive was still...

    Time for new injectors?

    '67 4020 powershift, hours and prior history unknown. I've had it for 11 years now and has been a good solid tractor. It probably gets used an average of 100 hours per year. Primarily used for running bat wing mower and moving hay bales and brush with the front end loader, so an alternate of...

    4020 tach in spanish?

    Notice the labels for gear / marcha and hours / horas (partially obscured by the tach needle). Does this mean it was intended for Mexico? Maybe standard issue for tractors shipped to Texas? I bought the tractor near Waco, don't have any idea of the history. 1967 4020 powershift, no other...

    Tee posts

    Growing up, I don't recall steel tee fence posts being used much, then at some point, they were very common. When did they become commonplace? Maybe it is a regional thing?

    Darned feral hogs

    For those of you complaining about snow and cold, at least you don't have to contend with the damage the feral hogs cause. Photos of the damage usually don't do a good job of conveying how bad it is, but I took some over the weekend that were better than usual. As a bonus, just as I got the...
