    PTO clutch adjustment on a 720

    You might need to adjust the rod length that connects the pedal to the clutch lever. On my 730, I had to shorten it as far as it would go to get the clutch brake to work and make the PTO stop spinning when disengaged. Also, while you were rebuilding the PTO, did you replace the oil seal that...

    I’m new to all this “tractoting” business

    3/4" drive ratchet set and large box-end/open-end wrench set.

    John deere 3010 tach jumping all over.

    If the cable is in good shape, it could be the drive gear for it got some teeth stripped.

    Rattling sound coming from governor on a 730

    They are still tight, just not gorilla grip tight.

    Front End Loader Removal

    I don't know what your loader looks like, but I've gotten pretty good at taking a JD 45 loader on and off my JD 730... I basically disassemble the loader, which is actually easier than trying to use a hoist or other lifts. I use a regular "farm jack" to lift up the boom once the pins have been...

    Rattling sound coming from governor on a 730

    Well, that's embarrassing... the noise was coming from the starter not disengaging. I pulled the starter out and lubed up the shaft that moves the bendix in and out and got it to move freely now. There was a little bit of gear noise from the governor, but barely loosening the bolts that hold...

    IPTO stuck

    Yep, sounds like something broke on the inside and will require at least a clutch pack reassembly.

    IPTO stuck

    With the tractor off and PTO in neutral, can you turn the shaft by hand? When the tractor is running and you engage the PTO, does the engine change RPM any at all, that is, does the clutch seem to apply any pressure?

    Please ID this Implement

    Forks for an antique toy fork-lift. Kids growing up back then had to be tough to be able to play with cast iron toys like that, not today's kids with cheap plastic toys.

    50 LP won't stay running

    Yes, probably need to disconnect the oil pressure line so the face plate will move forward enough to get to the switch. Also, label all the wires or at least take a picture before disconnecting so you get them all plugged back in the righ positions.

    50 LP won't stay running

    Replacing the switch shouldn't be too difficult... unbolt the switch/gauges faceplate and pull forward, should then have all the room you need.

    Trailer Questions

    Others have already mentioned it, but I'll add my 2-cents as well - get a used 17ft. U-Haul van. They have a built-in ramp, anyone can drive it, takes up less space and easier to maneuver into parking spaces than a pickup and trailer. NOTE: ALL used U-Haul vans should be expected to put some...

    50 LP won't stay running

    I'd bet the resistor is burnt out that connects between the switch and coil. The start button by passes this resistor in order to give the coil more power during startup since the starter will be dragging down the voltage a bit. I had to replace the resistor on my 730 about a year ago, exact...

    To add to how things have changed

    There is actually more nuance to it, and that verse is often misquoted as you just did here. It is not turn the "other" cheek, it's turn the left cheek after being struck on the right cheek. If you had been struck on the right cheek, that means someone backhanded you with their right hand...

    What tractors did you drive as a kids?

    John Deere 50 with 2-row bedders for the garden, a Farmhand 5 round bale mover for hay. John Deere 60 for drag mower since it had live PTO while the 50 didn't. John Deere 4020 by the time I was in high school for pulling tandem disc harrow or field cultivator with fiber shank, seed drill...
