    Directional Control Valve-who rebuilds

    HI, We got the name of a man who runs a one-man shop within about 40 miles of here. My husband took it down today. This was actually a Cross brand that has 4 holes, but one has a pug of some sort in it and three levers. It is mounted upon the fender and has 4 remotes attached to it. You turn...

    Directional Control Valve-who rebuilds

    Hi, we just purchased a John Deere 5510 that has a Cross Directional Control Value that operates the rear Hydraulics. It is leaking terrible, and will either have to be rebuild or replaced. Does anyone know where to send one and have it rebuilt reasonable. I found one new on EBay for $445, but...

    Hesston 5540 baler-tying problems.

    Hi, We bought a used Hesston 5540 baler in early spring. It had been gone thru with new belts, etc. Works really good on larger hay, but having trouble on shorter, finer hay. The twine wraps too many times on the side before it will get over to where it cuts. We are wasting a lot of twine, and...

    OT strawberries

    I planted some this year myself. I actually planted two different kinds. The ones that are everbearing will last about three years. Then, I think you can rejunivate (spelling may be wrong there) and they will go again. The June bearing kind, will last several more years I think. You can Google...

    Leaking Hyd. fluid around steering wheel JD 2030

    A big job then? It may have to leak for a while until it gets worse. Thanks

    O/T: Racoons, Eagles, and Coyotes, Oh My!

    Could you tell me what the O/T stands for? I am fairly new to this forum, and I have seen it often, but don't have a clue.

    O/T: Racoons, Eagles, and Coyotes, Oh My!

    We started out with 8 a couple of years ago, and are now down to 4, and one of them has a permanent limp. Had a turtle get one. We found where the turtle bit its neck when under water. I guess coyotes got the others, as they had started venturing out in the field for grasshoppers and bugs...

    Leaking Hyd. fluid around steering wheel JD 2030

    Hi, my tractor is leaking fluid around the steering wheel. I think I would only need to order the first o-ring and seal. This is a 1972 JD 2030. Seems like someone told me on here a while back that it didn't take much to replace it?

    2030-starter or flywheel problem??

    The new starter came in today (at my office). My husband picked it up and put it on. He just called me and said that you could not ask for a new tractor to start any better. We have decided it was the wrong starter to begin with. The Delco part number on it showed to be a MF when I searched it...

    o/t bull holes

    Over the years, we have owned Black Angus, Hereford, Shorthorn, Brahma, Santa Gertrudis, Charlois, Red Limousin, and now a Black Limousin. Black Angus has always been the worst about fighting, etc. This Black Limousin minds his own business and takes care of business. We bought him about 2...

    I'm guessing they are Black Angus?

    2030-starter or flywheel problem??

    My husband used the dremel to dress the flywheel, but to no avail. I have a new starter ordered. Hope that fixes it. Will let you guys know. Thanks

    2030-starter or flywheel problem??

    I have found a starter on EBay at a bargain, and just waiting to see if dressing the flywheel will help. My husband keep thinking that the starter is doing what it should, but who knows. My luck with this tractor, it will be both. I like this tractor, but seems it has lots of problems. The tac...

    2030-starter or flywheel problem??

    Thanks. The time we pulled it; the tractor caught us off guard. We had no ideal that the starter (or flywheel) would just quit. It was no choice but to pull it enough to start it.

    2030-starter or flywheel problem??

    The ring gear is not loose. It is funny that when it quit, it just quit. It will not even attempt to catch and turn the motor, and when we roll the tractor a few inches in gear, it is absoutley no different. It is like the starter is just spinning in mid air. Not telling my age here, but over a...
