    John Deere 520 three point hitch creeps

    PJH is on the right track when he said piston O ring leaking. They call this hunting when the 3 point constantly is jerking up then settling down. I had this same thing on my 520 years back and the fix wasn't terribly hard. Good luck

    David Bradley wagon

    When you remove the hose you will be able to tell if the cylinder has lots of sludge. Not the easiest but the cylinder would be best cleaned up removed from the hoist if at all possible then hang the cylinder by the rod end. I would think diesel fuel would be a good rinse for the cylinder...

    David Bradley wagon

    Good find and well worth the repair needed to make it function again. I build flat racks using a hoist from a barge box or a flair box under them. The cylinders sometimes have some awful gunk lurking in the bottom of them. I would do what ever possible to get the worst of the sludge out of...

    For Bruce In Can.

    Hi Bruce The Marriot you have chosen is a real good choice. The area where the motel is located is very clean. My Daughter in Law and her family also have a Jersey herd they milk. You are most welcome and if we can be of assistance feel free. Good luck and welcome to Wisconsin. Larry D

    Bought another wagon

    Very nice wagon, you did well. What brand hoist is under your box? Back in the day there were lots of barge boxes with a hoist now the hoists are getting a little harder to find good used ones. The old Knight has seen better days but they were well built when new and still there is allot of...

    520 power steering problems

    jdjack, I feel your pain. I have two 520's and both have needed allot of attention to get them back to being a dependable tractor. On the flip side I really like the model and figure at nearly 60 years old they have earned some work done on them. There is allot of information on this site...

    could use good advice

    We used a elevator for wood when we lived at Baraboo. I took two sections out of the middle of a old 40' Sam Mulkey and it worked real well to put wood in corn cribs for storage. I would set the splitter by the elevator and it did save allot of time. Ours worked with a 3/4 hp elec. motor...

    What loader for a 2030

    I have a John Deere 145 loader on my 2630 and like it allot. The loader has been used for general lifting, big round bales manure, snow among other uses. The loader control valve is teed into the high pressure line and the return is to the filter cover making it's system separate from the...

    Running Gear ID

    Kind of hard to tell from the one photo but it looks allot like the Lindsey Brothers running gear my Dad had once upon a time.

    Jumpy clutch

    It is possible that the spring steel washers R21647 that go under the slotted nuts of the clutch operating bolts could smooth your clutch if everything else checks out. I hope these washers are still available from Deere as I have had good luck using them on my 520. Good luck. Larry D

    What's the value of JD 953 running gear parts

    Joe Don't give up on the old 953. The gear has allot of good points like the reach isn't bent nor are the spindles. I started with one that looked worse than yours and it turned out pretty good. The extendable tongue can be loosened with patience , penetrating oil and heat. Once you see your...
