    IH 584 won’t start in cold weather…

    Thanks for doing that leg work Jim.ME, I purchased my heater about 10-15 years ago. Massey-165 can now make his decision on what its worth to him to go with 1000 or 1500.

    IH 584 won’t start in cold weather…

    i have the bigger brother to your tractor, a 784. I have a Kats 1500 watt tank heater and my tractor starts right up in the cold weather after about maybe 30 minutes. Best $40 or so ive ever spent. Someone earlier suggested a 1000 watt heater. Both would probably work and im betting the...

    New Holland, Sitrex, Enorossi rakes

    I am literally in the same boat as you are Fred. i have an older sitrex 8 wheeler that is not made for heavy 1st cut. I have been told that the 'newer' wheel rakes that you reference can handle heavy first crop, so I think you are on the right track. However, I dont have one and none of my...

    Disc blade and bearing replacement - Kewanee

    Cowrider, quick answer.....fairly easy. I did end up rattling the spacer loose. While I was doing the job I managed to identify the disk as a Kewanee model 130. Drive out the roll pins that hold the horseshoe that secures the bearing housing and slide it off. Here the important part. The...

    3020 hyd pump out, can it move?

    Early JD3020 synchro range diesel. I have a 48 loader on it. was using it the other day and the pump started making a whining noise and power steering, loader controls, and brakes went out. I believe either the front pump failed or the coupler failed. i dont think its the coupler as i said...

    Tedder tine orientation

    Picked up a used 4 rotor older new holland tedder. My question is about the correct orientation of the tines on each arm. Should the tines that extend to the ground be on the leading edge of the time arm, or the trailing edge? I would think the times should be on the leading edge, allowing...

    JD round baler question....

    Tx Jim can keep me honest here but those cow catchers were on 400/410s and 500/510s. Consensus by most is that they were the worst round balers Deere ever made and maybe its to prevent operators from flinging themselves into the baler in frustration.......

    Tillage Disc blade question

    I have an ancient kewaneee 10 foot transport disc that needs some minor work. On the left and right front gangs, the outer most disc blade on each side are only partially there. I happened to measure a few of the good interior discs and they are 18 inches so I ordered a few, They arrived...

    John Deere 3020 wiring

    Tires, tin, and whether its a later model side console or not are all huge factors, and you did not mention them. If tin and tires are 'average" , $5500 to $6000 is about what you will get. Still more than the $4000 you have in it!!

    Early JD 3020 D synchro new winter problem

    Unfortunately i have experience with gelled fuel in subzero weather and in such cases the tractor simply dies, starved for fuel, and generally does not restart. In this instance the fuel had been treated with antigel. And yes, I will tell you I did not open the fuel filter bleed screws to...

    Early JD 3020 D synchro new winter problem

    Got to around 10 below last night. Went out to start the 3020 today. Let the tank heater run for about 2 hours. Then started the tractor. It was around 5 degrees now. It ran on low idle for 30 seconds to approx one minute and then sounded like it went under load for 3 or 4 seconds and died. It...

    John deere 3010 diesel

    I will be interested in seeing what others say. Would it be good if the pto clutch worked like the day it came from the factory? Sure! But the fact that it drifts or turns slowly is generally not that big of a deal in my experience. As long as you can hold it still while hooking up an...

    4020 steering re-build clip

    Actually Mcrafty1, Tim is in central Ohio and not Iowa. I happen to live within a couple hours drive of him and a year and half ago brought him my leaking steering valve from my 3010 and exchanged it for a rebuilt one. Has worked good ever since. I am no mechanic by a long shot and was...
