    Continuous running hydraulic attachements

    Will continuously running hydraulic attachements "burn up" your hydraulic pump, or otherwise damage your tractor? I was told that my JD 50-series tractor would not run a hydraulically powered shredder because "tractor pumps just aren't made to run all of the time" like pumps on skid loaders...

    John Deere 2020 engine oil?

    Tractor engines in that era were made to use the available oils. Check the charts: Single viscosity 30 weight oil is recommended for any temperature from 32 to 100 degrees. A good detergent SAE 30 will work best in any engine from earlier than the 80's, and in most tractor engines since...

    JD 2240

    You can find some parts on ebay. Some of them are priced right, and some are a ripoff. It helps to know what they should cost. But like Buick&Deere says, your local dealer can get anything you need. While his prices may be on the high side, he isn't making a killing on the mark-up; it is...

    John Deere 4440 Scam

    Before entering the tractor business, Roger Adams was brokering inheritances from Nigeria and steamer cruises originating in Somalia. These "third party" escrow/shipment companies are all scams. Some of them have exceedingly elaborate websites with testimonials, long lists of Fortune 500...

    JD 3010 Diesel

    Are you sure the tires are 38"? I had a 3010 years ago with 13.4 x 36 tires. The most significant problem with the little 60 hp engine is that your diesel may get stale before you need to refill the tank. The one I had seemed like it would run forever on a tank of fuel. It was the cat's...

    2240/2440 tall tire option

    There's really not much difference. When someone tells you that a "shorter" tire (smaller diameter) gives you "more power", what they are really trying to say is that a smaller tire effectively reduces your gear ratio. "Smaller, fatter" tires will absorb bumps a little better and may float in...

    What should I ask for my JD 2240 Diesel?

    That's actually a little more than I thought it might bring. I'd be happy with that price. Anyone else have any thoughts?

    What should I ask for my Farmall 806 Diesel?

    I no longer need this tractor, so am thinking of putting it on the market. It's a rough-looking old tractor with little paint left, but the engine starts on one crank and absolutely purrs. It is equipped with TA and three outlets. Tires are good. Would repainting it help or hurt its sale...

    What should I ask for my JD 2240 Diesel?

    I've just bought a later model tractor and need to sell my JD 2240. By its serial number it is a 1977 model, 8/4 standard trans, ind PTO, tach stopped at 2250 hrs so actual time unknown. It is clean and straight with fresh touch-up paint, engine starts instantly and runs flawlessly, brand new...

    Tractor frontloader frame same as skid loader?

    I have a Koyker 210 loader on my John Deere 2550. The bucket dismounts by withdrawing two lower pins, while the upper side of the bucket has about a two-inch pipe wedged into the loader frame as the upper attachement. Is this the same as you'll find on the standard skid loader, and are...

    4020 three point arms

    Are you talking about those Rube Goldberg contraptions that theoretically allow the arms to extend and waller around in order to attempt to attach the implement without having the tractor in the right position? Those never worked, even when brand new. Deere quickly abandoned the design in...

    john deere 5020

    The big ole 5020 is somewhat of an albatross. It is heavy and capable, but its frame is large for its power and its configuration makes it unsuited for utility use. Few serious farmers want to depend on a tractor this old for heavy field work and it is far too large for most hobbyist/part...

    JD 2550 year model

    Thanks, but I've looked and external_link doesn't have any serial numbers listed for the 2550.

    not to start a war but

    John Deere doesn't make their own oil -- it is produced for them to their specifications. Other "brands" of oil are also produced to the seller's specifications, some of them by the same manufacturers as JD oil. If another brand is labeled as meeting Hygard specs and it doesn't, then that's...
