    WC, WD gearbox interchangeability

    What I really need to find out is if the distance from the differential face to the engine is the same between the two tractors. I have a WC that was converted to a forklift by John's Mfg. It has an aux frame for the forklift mast mounting. Engine went bye bye on the WC last spring and it had...

    WC, WD gearbox interchangeability

    Is the distance from the engine face to the differential face the same between WC and WD? Can the gearboxes be interchanged?

    4020 needs front weight. Is aftermarket double good part?

    I need about 800 Lbs up front of my 4020 to counteract the weight of my 3pt tedder. I was thinking of the factory starter pieces and the after market double weight bracket. Is this after market bracket cast and is it a good part? No history of breaking? Thanks.

    John Deere switched filters and it doesn't look good.

    I don't think you can say "no bearing". If the filter can if half the size, you're not going to get the same amount of filter media in there. Yes you'd have to cut them open and measure the square inches of the media, but a can so small is definitely or at least very likey going to have less...

    John Deere switched filters and it doesn't look good.

    So I have an 855 Compact utility tractor that I've had since the late 90's probably. Just used for mowing on the farm, still in very good shape. I've always used the JD M801002 oil filter. Well in the last 1- 2 years they no longer carry that filter and the superceeding number is M806416...

    Recommendation for shop air compressor

    I use a D1000 New Holland medium/big square baler ( a Dinosaur) and it's important to blow out the knotters especially. The lube and chaff and knot cut offs. It needs to be clean when you start to prevent issues. We just changed a billhook on the #2 string that has worn much more than others...

    Much too far to connect using one.

    Recommendation for shop air compressor

    No, no sandblasting. That requires way too much flow. I remember a lot of compressors had a bad rep back in the 90's with Aluminum pumps instead of cast iron. The line to day may be blurred a bit between consumer and farm use. The thing is I have a 7.5hp Champion two stage cast iron...

    Recommendation for shop air compressor

    Yes I have Milwaukee and Stihl leaf blowers, but you still need compressed air to dislodge a lot of stuff especially if mixed iwth some grease and in tight areas. I did find this article which indicates 2 stage compressors better for farm shops due to separation of water from the oil. They...

    Recommendation for shop air compressor

    I need an air compressor for blowing out my baler and running a few tools in my equipment shed. It is not heated, but I don't see it being used between November and March much at all. It has to be single phase, which probably limits me to 7.5HP I'm thinking. How big a tank should I have, and...

    Need dimensions to Swap my WC driveline for WD in my forklift conversion

    This kinda started in this thread My John's forklift WC Well we've figured out that my John's forklift conversion was done with a WC. The engine just took a dump on me. It started stumbling and I tried to get it back in the building and then it beltched black and blue smoke and died. I...

    Can I refill the oil here?

    I'm on day 2 of the flu right now, but when I go out again I'll take some more pics. The transmission is under the fuel tank like a WC, but the rear end I think is stamped and not cast. Most WC's I've seen have cast rear ends. Maybe late ones had stamped? Or maybe they used a later rear end...

    Can I refill the oil here?

    There is a hand brake as you can see in the second picture along the right fender. I don't know it that lever is original or modified by John's. The machine has brake pedals to control left and right brake, but that was likely made by John's MFG.

    Can I refill the oil here?

    I'll check it out. thx. You can see that the gearshift is right in the way of your legs getting on and off. it's between your legs when operating. Very different from my Farmall BN John's forklift. But it's actual shifter is much farther forward, giving space between the seat and shifter.
