    JD 4030 issues

    I had a 4640 that it was that topshaft being worn would do that where the synchronizers engage on the splines. Customer complaint was no hi lo but it was missing a gear range. Cab mounts likely need attention as well Often shafts from the dealer would be a “rebuilt” used one as they aren’t made...

    Is it normal? (shocked by H)

    Yes not specific to 2 cylinders either first shock like that I had a hand over the carb testing the choke and a buddy pulled rope and one finger touched the plug wire end on a push mower in shop class. I was more concerned with where my toes were. Quality of plug wire is a factor but I still...

    44 model B oil pressure adjustment

    I guess that’s the prescribed method one turn at a time if it’s low. Anything else is just a speculation and I’m surprised there is even that instruction in the book. Procedure is definitely easier on later tractors where it’s outside. Above serial number 201000 You can see 2 ish turns or so...

    JD 3020D 24v problem

    I second the voltage regulator as a starting point for troubleshooting. I am also a little suspicious of the skinny batteries so I would test them with a load tester Tx Jim, is the indicator light on the 12v side? so the midpoint ground might be something to look at but if everything else is...

    John deere 50 clutch noise

    Pop the cover off and take a look around I’ve broken a “head” off the three bolts on various tractors in that clutch then it will jump a little you might have to take a look around. If you put a load on it does it slip?

    How to secure empty hitch?

    I use a piece of cheap chain with a karabiner on both ends on the John Deere’s new generation and above that have a hole for the previously mentioned spring . Every once and awhile you have to replace a karabiner but it’s simple enough The A and b conversions don’t seem to smack the tires they...

    Shuttle Shift Tractors ????

    Yes they do Agco and case as well have a left reverser with neutral in the middle. Just pop from forward to neutral then clutch to put it back into forward.

    Best Budget Friendly Digital Torque Wrench

    One thing I’ve liked is the Quinn torque adapter. I have plenty of half inch torque wrenches laying around to last me but I purchased a 3/4 inch one for doing truck and tractor lug nuts. We have had the thing for 5 years and been happy I’ve put batteries in it once. Reads easy lights up and...

    Clutch not snapping in to place ,

    I’m not sure the width of the garage (it does fit the axles or the tractor would likely be elsewhere) but even on a G I believe you can set them wide enough permanently to sneak the pulley out next time without moving a tire I’ve done it on As and Bs the pulley on the g I believe to be larger...

    John Deere 3010 gas

    You have a 12 volt EI the new generation is going to be equipped with a keyswitch that has a ceramic resistor from the factory to use a 6 volt coil. What I’ve done is put a key switch without that in and then used a 12 volt coil to make it simpler. The instructions that come with your manual...

    1010 model/ serial # plate

    I’d recommend reading the distributor tag for tuneup kit parts and crossing the numbers on the plugs.

    New enthusiast with a couple of questions

    There isn’t any sort of flare or taper on them I’d be headed into NAPA after some of that brake line. It’s copper nickel I believe now but it bends really easy it costs a lot per roll but you can use it for fuel lines too. It might be a larger size though just have to take it in see what they...

    1950 John Deere A clutch

    I believe the kit with everything including the pre bonded disks is JDS6858 That is what I intended to order plus a big steel driving disk. I had assumed the disk more than anything was why mine was off. Just a heads up this website is a direct competitor to that place. For the most part the...

    JD 50 hard shifting

    while clutch adjustment should be checked and done properly I confirmed today while mowing off the sweet corn that the single stick transmission should be able to pop OUT of gear WHILE OPERATING with no touching the clutch smooth as butter. Out only. It’s highly likely something else is causing...

    1945 John Deere B Hand Start

    So likely not spark. Starts and runs well when pulled…. Could be low on fuel (does it backfire? Strangely enough you would think that’s a rich condition but 2 cylinders backfire amazingly well when lean) it doesn’t happen to have a new carb as well to go with the fresh mag? Some of the ones...
