    Checking Hydraulic level

    Buickanddeere: Thank you for your quick response. It's becoming much clearer to me. My apologies for reworking your reply here, but my brain needs to see things in a certain way. Please see if I've gotten this right. My questions or assumptions are in parentheses: --------------...

    Hydralic pump JD 2010 / gas

    Are you sitting down? Gushing hydraulic fluid = gushing greenbacks. There are lots of posts on this problem. Though not necessarily specific to 2010's, other similar era models (like my 1020) have the same hydraulic system. Your solution will depend on your specific problem, but it doesn't...

    Replacing points on 1020

    To my honorable 1020 sensei: My many mistakes are testament to my many ignorance. Your wisdom, generosity and irritability are taken with humility and gratitude. Grasshopper apologizes for my extreme ignorance, which cause me to excluding important information. As wise man once said...

    Checking Hydraulic level

    Buickanddeere: Your response causes me to ask this question: Before we started the tractor, we had replaced the gas tank. During R&R I noticed that the hyd. reserve tank was empty. How does the hyd. reserve tank function? Does it fill up immediately on starting? Does it empty as...

    Replacing points on 1020

    Thanks for the fast reply. All I know about our tractor's distributor is that it has the clip on cap, not the screw on cap, and that this kit is for a "Delco w/clip held cap". Does this info help you to make any further suggestions? Joe O

    Checking Hydraulic level

    Thanks for the reply, but, I'm not sure what to do with it. My conundrum is this: if my fluid doesn't show up on the dipstick until after I've rigorously operated it and it's gotten real hot, I fear that I'm operating it with insufficient fluid. Basically, I'm flying blind for awhile...

    Replacing points on 1020

    Hello again: I have a JD 1020 gas 135ci. In a fit of dyslexia, I ordered a tune up kit (points, rotor, condenser) for a 2010. On the back of the package it says "for early JD, 4 or 6 cyl". So, I do the math and divide 6 by 2 and get three, as in cylinders. Does anyone know if this kit...

    Checking Hydraulic level

    Hey all: I've got a 1020 3cyl gas 135cu. Last winter we had the thing split, and hydraulic system and power steering rebuilt. It was delivered in the fall and we only ran it a bit. Fluid level was fine. We had problems with the mower that needed attention, so the 1020 sat until...
