    Cigarette Lighter-New Install

    Anyone added in a cigarette lighter port where it was not originally included? As I fancy a day where there is negligent power loss and all gauges/lights work, I’m looking to add one in to have power for a few options on my 2630…and maybe the 2040 or indeed others. Thanks for any thoughts...

    JD 2630 Light Switch

    Howdy Stan! I've been working through the same thing and almost a decade after you asked. Here's what I put together for a quick reference for any that need it after us, when working with the original wiring harness, or parts of it. I'll be fixing:

    Whats antique JD tire pumps going for?

    I bought one last year off Marketplace for $100. Drove out, he showed me it still worked and so I left with it. Happened that I was up north on orders for an Airborne Op, the winds were too high so the jumps were canceled. Glad I got there for that at least! Anyone have the original manual for...

    JD 146 Loader Cylinder Seals

    Thanks Jim and Barnyard! I’ve never heard of buffing the rod, is the only recourse to replace it, or? Thanks for those tips, definitely she could do with a good bath. I’ll show a better picture of that hose tonight, honestly, as soon as I picked it up, based on where the “flow” was coming...

    JD 146 Loader Cylinder Seals

    Finally got her running again for about 4 hours total in the last week after working the cylinder and filter issues. I stopped to pull brush off the road I had been dragging while blading the road and noticed the tire had drops of fluid, followed that to the same cylinder that leaked last time...

    John Deere 2630 Battery “Box”

    This 1975 beauty was treated roughly in one of her likely multiple families. While she’s been down for hydraulic repairs over the last year, I’ve taken the time to do a few smaller projects. One I’m considering is reconstructing the battery box. Has anyone done this before? Likely going to cut...

    JD 2630 Major Hydraulic Issues

    I let my stepdad know your tip, he said “Where was that knowledge 30 years ago? If my uncle was here today I’d be telling him about this!” Just thought I’d share the influence you have with knowledge sharing.

    JD 2630 Major Hydraulic Issues

    Thanks Jim! That makes total sense once it’s been said! The other method seems natural and ergo why it did not work. What kind of grease do you use in such a way?

    JD 2630 Major Hydraulic Issues

    Howdy Greg! Thanks for asking the perfect question for what headache I’ve been trying to fix in “spare time” for a while now. Too bad the past 16 years passed with no one answering it! My stepdad has said this canister style is about the most hated hydraulic filter setup known. Thick grease is...

    JD 2630 Major Hydraulic Issues

    Howdy Kevin! Well, same thing with mine, only my year ago was 15 years after yours! Problem worsened and blew a seal on the left loader hydraulic ram. Rebuilt that, drained all the fluid (milky through and through). I protect my loader valve with a tarp since then but a couple quarters thick...

    JD 146 Loader Cylinder Seals

    No crud, there I was, getting ready to load equipment with my JD 2630/146, had just finished greasing the zerks and checking fluids, then fired the old gal up and got to doing checks with the engine running when all of a sudden....non-stop leak from the left lift cylinder. The loader has a...

    John Deere No. 20 Dirt Scoop

    Thanks Texas brother! Before I do get to connecting it for use, I'll get that bow out and either bend or cut and weld the rod to have the 90 degree bend as shown in the parts image. It certainly appears the original was broken and they repaired it with a straight rod with a rebar stick bent in a...

    John Deere No. 20 Dirt Scoop

    Just found this on an ebay item, I see a couple of issues already:

    John Deere No. 20 Dirt Scoop

    Well, I picked up a John Deere No. 20 Dirt Scoop a few days ago and sprayed down the joints and what should be moving parts yesterday before trying to manually get her to move. Well, the lower bar with the 2 inward facing 3-point hitch pins moves up to the welded on stop (now misaligned due to...
