    Do you have any John Deere Front-Mount Cultivators?

    4-row cultivators came with the 730 I got a few years ago. This picture is when I had just started repairs and painting it, hood is off while I work on it.

    JD 620 PTO hard to engage and spins all the time after that

    My 730 is similar, but I was able to reduce the length of the pedal connecting rod by turning the end yoke clockwise a couple turns. The pedal now engages easier. If you shorten the length too much, there might not be enough pressure on the clutch pack to prevent slipping under normal operation.

    JD 4020 Propane refill hose needed?

    On all our John Deere LP tractors, (50, 60, 730, 4020) the little bleeder will start showing liquid before the large vapor port will, but only minimal difference between the two. When liquid starts coming out of the vapor, the gauges on all of them tend to read just below 80%.

    JD 4020 Propane refill hose needed?

    I 100% agree to not use hydraulic lines for propane. Get the correct propane wet lines and avoid a costly or even deadly mistake. To the OP - Get all the correct hardware to setup your own filling station... a filler tank (whether trailer mounted or on the ground), a wet line connection from...

    John Deere 730 LP/ LP Tractor Questions

    I have a 730 LP, and as Tx Jim showed, it uses more gallons per hour of operation, but the price of propane is so much cheaper than gasoline you still come out way ahead running propane than gasoline, plus the other mentioned benefits of cleaner running. An LP can also sit for years and then...

    JD 4020 Propane refill hose needed?

    Do you have a filler tank? The picture below is what I have. Notice the wet line hose connects to the bottom of the tank so liquid will come out. If you have a tank with only ports on the top, then the wet line output will need a pipe that goes down to the bottom of the tank in order to get...

    there is a wide variety of talent on here

    When converting AC to DC, remember AC voltage is measured RMS (Root Mean Square) and not peak voltage. If you have 14 V AC and run it through a bridge rectifier, multiply 14 by the square root of 2 to get what the DC voltage will be. In this case, about 19.8 V DC.

    Had to laugh

    I got State Farm ins. on 6 autos... haven't seen any rebate checks nor have I heard any news of such.

    how many JD 530 LP Propane?

    LP was common in Texas too even as late as the 70s. All our extended family had LP tractors (JD 50, 60, three 730s, and a 4020). We didn't get a Diesel tractor until a 4440. With Diesel prices the way they are now, our old LP tractors are sure looking nice.

    JD 730 restoring in small steps at a time

    Many old tractors you had to start them standing on the ground, turning the flywheel by hand. I always park it in neutral with the hand-clutch engaged and the brakes locked.

    How late can plant grass/hay?

    I did some seeding for winter variety mix as a cover for my garden a couple days ago. I'm in north Texas, right at the TX/OK border, and those seeds have already germinated.

    John Deere oil bath air cleaner leak

    I waited as long as I could for the paint to cure hard, got it back together now and started up. Don't see any leaks, but it may take a long time for something like that to show up.

    JD 730 restoring in small steps at a time

    I got it all back together now, first time start after installing the new converter and putting the air cleaner back together. So far, no leaks from the oil bath bowl.

    Anyone Know What This Is? Old Plow Part?

    4-5' long would be way too big for a sweep.

    JD 730 restoring in small steps at a time

    Got some more painting done... cleaned up the insides of what I guess you could call a carburetor, not sure if that's the right thing to call it on an LP fueler. Lots of gunk inside, first time it's ever been apart since put together at the factory 70+ years ago. Put a new propane converter on...
