    JD 7510 AC issues

    So I just bought a 10K houred JD 7510 to help do the feeding chores in the winter, and haying in the summer. It's basically a twin to the one we have, which has been one of the best tractors we've owned. After getting it here from Kansas, It's got a couple problems- First one, is the front...

    Last 4630 built? part 2

    Don't know why, but the thread below won't open? The new to use 1977 Quad Range Has a late SN of 31145, and all I've been able to find online is the last one was supposed to be around 30245- Does anyone have any literature with an ending serial number for this model? Just wondering how close...

    Last 4630 built?

    Hi all, Been awhile since I've been on. Purchased another 4630 QR that TimS already knows about. It's been doing a great job so far with little issues except for a bad remote out of the box- (robbed one off the 2520 for now) Question is, I know the serial number is a late one, I quick...

    4630 Quad Range PTO Won't Disengage

    Have a local guy with the tools to setup the perma-clutch. He's done a few of them, and done work for us reasonable before, so I'm going to take it to him tomorrow. Besides having both perma-clutches replaced, and most likely the PTO brake, anything else that should be inspected/replaced while...

    4630 Quad Range PTO Won't Disengage

    Hey Tim, Sorry I missed your call back- Was out at the shop doing some testing. As soon as I hit the key the pto moves. which got me thinking the clutch pack is welded- got out, put a pry bar through the U joint on the pto and got it to move, but with more resistance than it should've...

    4630 Quad Range PTO Won't Disengage

    Hey all- Have this 4630, serial #025132 Quad Range tractor that we use daily for running a bale processor- Today after feeding it failed to disengage the pto. Didn't seem like the brake failing to hold, but more like a valving issue. I know when I had the trans pump replaced last year they...

    The Deere Expendables

    I'm not sure why people say they weren't fuel efficient... compared to what? any other tractor that dyno's at around 185 hp is going to use 11-12 gph under that kind of load. When these tractors are hooked up to say a drill, or a rake, baler, or hydroswing they get right around 3.5 gph...

    The Deere Expendables

    Beautiful tractor Bob! I prefer the PS over the quad range every day (at least this older quad range) until I get out in the field- Then the quad range tractor really shines with all of it's gear selections and less power loss through the trans. Also nice for mowing hay, easy to find the...

    The Deere Expendables

    Thought you guys might enjoy this video I shot yesterday on the 4630s... First one we bought I thought was an old piece of junk when we brought it home, I wanted the 4640 we looked at (which was twice as much money) with not many less hours. since we bought the first one back around 2009...

    4630 brake pads

    had brakes done on one of my 4630s here a couple years back. I believe it was right at about $750. He figured it would be only $250 per side, but he said it was quite a wrestling job with the outer wheel/axle hub sticking out and their forklift to get things maneuvered out and back together...

    JD20 spec HYD oil preferance?

    Just wondering what you all have found to be your preferred brand choice for the JD-20 hyd oils. JD oils have been vacant from any of my tractors for about 10 years. I cannot justify almost $100 per bucket for oil. I have noticed that the Harvest King oils seem much less viscous than say the...

    Remote problems $800 to rebuild?

    Sounds like I need to send it to you Tim when I get the chance to have the tractor down for awhile. I had the hoses tarp strapped up because I too thought the hoses were causing the "pop out" issue. Still though, that never helped, so I know that there is something wonky with that valve...

    Remote problems $800 to rebuild?

    So, I've been fighting issues on one remote on my 4630 for over a year now. occasionally all winter it would spit out a hose on the bale processor. (lever never flipped forward) hooked it up to the hydroswing this summer, and the same remote I noticed running a bit slower than what should be...

    2520 gettin old. worth fixing?

    So here we are, another summer where we are attempting to put up something, doesn't look much like hay this year with the recent drought we're going through here in SE Montana. The same raking tractor I grew up on we are still using today. '69 JD2520. Today didn't start off so well, I was...

    4630 leaky steering sector/ remote problem

    Enjoyed our conversation this morning Tim. I got the sector out today and rebuilt it. Was a quite interesting job working upside down on your head, but got it done! The check valve we spoke of I looked over very well, but found not even a little pitting on the ball, so I re-used. The pump...
