    3130 Friction Disc removal

    The throttle on my 3130 tractor won't stay open and springs back to idle There is a broken friction disc. I'm trying to remove the disc to replace it; I took out the cotter pin... but both the top and bottom disc (see 25 in diagram) are not going anyway. Are they seized, or is there something...

    488 Haybine bad design?

    Well, we found an old drawbar from another unit. It’s got a lot of reinforcement and welds at that joint as well. Notably, this one did not have a cylinder attached to it. We installed it… And so far everything’s good. The one thing about this drawbar as well as my other one is that I find...

    488 Haybine bad design?

    You’re correct.

    488 Haybine bad design?

    Yes, mine has a spring pin. I suspect the reason the previous owner put a cylinder on this is that manually moving it forward or backward doesn’t seem to move the position very easily at all.

    488 Haybine bad design?

    Ya, that’s a hefty cylinder for this unit. So I’ve had to use it very sparingly just to move the transport. When it broke and fell, it pulled the cylinder out. I’m not sure what’s going on with this thing as the metal in the drawbar seems rather thin in my welder’s opinion.

    488 Haybine bad design?

    This is my first season with a 488 haybine. The tongue that goes from the unit to the tractor keeps breaking at the haybine. So, I stole another tongue from a parts machine, and I see that it's been welded and reinforced too. What the heck? This looks like a poor design to me with all the stress...

    Yes, there's one there, and it turns over great. Thanks for the tip, though!

    2130 tractor suddenly won't start...

    Well, this is unbelievable. There is a cable running underneath the shift cover that is a simple connection. My foot must have pulled it out. 5 minute fix. Oy. Worst of all, I had to call a JD tech to come analyze it this morning. About $1k in total for this simple mishap.

    2130 tractor suddenly won't start...

    Alright, I'll look into this, thanks. Next question: I was unable to get the bottom bolt in on the new starter. Physically impossible because the casing blocks the special tool I'm using. So, I sawed the head off of a bolt and screwed it in as a stud. But the question I have is there going...

    2130 tractor suddenly won't start...

    Yes, you're right. Sadly, I talked to a JD tech who gave me some steps to test, which led me to believe it was the starter. We were wrong.

    2130 tractor suddenly won't start...

    My 2130 just suddenly refused to turn on. I called JD and they said it's a pretty simple starter system, and that it's probably the starter. Well, after going through hours of agonizing pain changing the starter (that's another story with that bottom bolt), the tractor...

    JD 6410 starter removal

    So, here's my idea. Cut the head off of a longer bolt and thread that in so it acts like a stud. Put the cable on top of that. Then, insert the starter over the new "stud" and bolt it to the top stud, which an engineer was smart enough to make accessible. And then cross my fingers that the...

    JD 6410 starter removal

    How did you get the bolt back in?? I have a 2130 and it's nearly impossible to get that bolt in, even. with my special extension tool. There's a ground cable that the bolt goes through and then both have to be guided into a hole you can't see, all the while the bolt magically staying on the end...

    JD 2130 Starter Removal

    This has to be the most insane if not impossible thing. I managed to get the bottom bolt out (because the last guy to put it in only threaded it a quarter inch). But putting it back? I can't see the hole, there's a cable connector the bolt has to pass through, and then these need to be threaded...
