    JD300B

    I have a 1971 JD300B with a "reverser" type transmission. It goes okay in reverse but not in forward. In forward it can't climb up even a small incline but I can turn around and climb that same incline in reverse without a problem. Does anyone have any suggestions? What might this tractor be...

    JD 300B tranny problem

    My tractor has very little power going forward and only slightly more in reverse. It has a reverser. I hope I can get some helpful feedback as to what To look for and any possible solutions. I really hohpe there's an adjustment I can make. The fluid is full. I am wondering if the main pump...

    JD 300 Diesel won't start

    I do have two batteries and I use a high output booster/charger when I start it. Today was cool outside and it would not start. I used my torpedo heater on the engine to warm things up and it started well. I will try the negative cable idea though. It did seem weird to me that they would mount...

    JD 300 Diesel won't start

    I know that ether isn't a good idea but sometimes it's the only way I can get it to start. I'm not sure how fast it's supposed to turn over but I'm going to have the starter rebuilt and see if it helps. I certainly hope so.

    JD 300 Diesel won't start

    Thank you. I do believe that cold weather was PART of the problem as it wasn't turning over fast enough. I also found that if I cut pressure to the hyd pump it turns over faster and starts up. Thank you

    JD 300 Diesel won't start

    Okay I got it running again. I noticed that the cranking slowed down after the first few cranks. I shut off the pressure to the Hyd pump and it started fairly quickly. It may be that the starter needs a rebuild. Thank you to everyone that offered assistance. It's all good advice. I removed the...

    JD 300 Diesel won't start

    Well, I removed the cover and checked the movement of the metering valve. It moved freely and it didn't seem like I did anything but after putting it back together, it started right up. I shut it off and did what I had to do with the hydraulics and it won't statr again. I'll do the same thing...

    JD 300 Diesel won't start

    Okay great. I'll open the up tomorrow and see if that is the problem. I certainly hope so. Thank you for the tip. I'll let you know how/if it works out. Looks like a good possibility.

    Must be the DB. The connection is held tight with a hex nut on top. How do I remedy that one?

    No glow plugs. I'm thinking not enough fuel. ?

    JD 300 Diesel won't start

    Yes it's turning over as usual. I'm thinking it's not getting enough fuel?
