    Chevy C60 Kodiak -- what is the speed in 2nd Gear low--

    PTO speed is 540 -- same as the tractor. I have no idea what kind of a rear end the truck had. It doesn't run and I scrapped it. Any general idea on speed?

    Chevy C60 Kodiak -- what is the speed in 2nd Gear low--

    Anyone out there know how fast a Chevy C60 Kodiak will go in 2nd gear? This truck has a gas engine and 4 speed tranny with the hi/low shifter. I bought this truck with a lime bed. I put the lime bed on a tandem axle trailer thus converting the lime bed to a pull type. I'm told the previous...

    1983 JD 8450 == Will not start - not getting fuel ==

    Thank you all for your advice. Got it started yesterday. We blew air back wards from the pump into the tanks. Once that cleared, we put the cap back on the fuel tanks and did it again. This created enough pressure in the tanks to push fuel all the way thru the system back up to the...

    1983 JD 8450 == Will not start - not getting fuel ==

    1983 John Deere 8450. 5900 hrs. It will not start. Problem is fuel starvation -- will run a little on either. I cannot build any pressure on the hand priming pump, which tells me I"m not getting any diesel from the fuel tanks. I pulled the fuel line to the injector pump and no pressure or...

    John Deere 7230 == Opinion ==

    I am seriously considering the purchase of a 2010 JD 7230 FWA to replace my 4450 2WD. This tractor will be used to pull a 12R planter, a 60ft sprayer, and a round baler. Anyone out there have any experience with the 7230? Are all 7030 series tractors GPS ready? Thanks TM

    Ford 340B 3pt -- Will not lift any weight --

    Need some help on this one. I have a Ford 340B. The 3 point will lift up and down slowly only while empty. That is, it will not lift ANY weight. I used another loader to help it lift a some 3pt weights and it stuck in the "up" position. When stuck in the "up" position, the flow control value...

    Ford 340B Diesel -- Won't start --

    Thanks for the help. This was an old city tractor, so it likely did sit around for some time. I pulled the sediment bowl and found a surprising amount of crud. After cleaning this, nothing would run from the fuel tank to the bowl, so I blew some air thru the fuel line. That did the trick. I...

    Ford 340B Diesel -- Won't start --

    I purchased a Ford 340B loader 2 months ago. Great tractor, very handy, runs perfect & use is every day. It's got the 3 cylinder diesel. I was driving down the road this morning and the tractor cut out and died. Now it won't start. Cranks over just fine, but won't fire. Plenty of fuel in...
