    Wash Machine Replacement

    Review here. I have a Speed Queen commercial-style machine with a matched dryer, about 4 years old. These have been by far the best washing machine and dryer duo I've ever owned. I'm 76, - hate to admit it, but I've seen some good machines years ago like GE and others, but this duo is the best...

    Stuck 3 point top link adjustment

    You are not the first nor will you be the last with this problem! Are you using a rosebud torch tip? You need to get it super hot. Some people will throw them into a woodstove for a while! If that doesn't work, try throwing it into a bucket of oil for a few days. Drain oil will do.

    John Deere 4440 Instrument Panel Ground

    Are you able to view the electrical schematic in the tech manual? Some manuals do not include a schematic and a separate manual is required. You need that schematic to determine the circuits for the gauges and get in there with a multimeter and check for continuity both hot and ground for the...

    Prepping a gas tank for welding

    I usually powerwash out with the hottest water that can be had and plenty of detergent. Rinse out and do that again. Give it a smell-test and if in doubt, wash again. Can't hurt to use the gas like 40 said.

    Small acreage profitability?

    Your best bet is to sell direct to the customer, retail, which allows you to set your own prices. Then consider high-value crops like fruit or berries. But you must plug in all the variables. You can grow pumpkins this year but if you want to farm apples, you have to wait five years after you...

    steam jennies

    Great machines for cleaning because the water is super hot. We had one a looong time ago when I was a teenager. They are a pretty simple machine. Just make sure the water coil in the boiler isn't rusted out.

    John Deere 30, 40, 50 series hydraulics question

    To clarify, plumb return oil to sump may be the wrong terminology. The tractor is buried in the shed and I can't verifiy but many years ago when we set it up, an old-school John Deere tech told me for hydraulic motors, do not connnect return oil to the 2nd SCV connection (return oil). He said...

    John Deere 30, 40, 50 series hydraulics question

    I run a rotary sweeper on a 2755 with no problems. At ambient temperatures around 50, the oil will warm to about 125-150 degrees. Make sure the filters are squeaky clean and return oil goes to the sump. There will be a limit on the size of the motor which is determined by the size of the...

    John deere 4430 injector repair

    You might have several things going on besides the injection nozzles. Make sure the fuel system is perfectly clean. Might be a worn engine, sleeves, oil rings, etc. Injection pump issue if its been sitting. Injection nozzles maybe. I would make sure the fuel is fresh and the filters are changed...

    4240 JohnDeere

    It's probably as easy as searching the part(s) for a standard 4240 front end and finding and installing them. Search JD Parts. You might consider leaving it be as is. Might be worth more in the long run.

    John Deere 301 diesel rear crankshaft oil seal tool

    I would get or borrow the tool and do it right. You don't want to take it apart again because the seal leaks.

    Trickle Charge over winter

    For charging at 12 volts, leave the battery connected to the tractor. The smart charger will maintain it at about 13.2 volts which is a happy medium for 12 volt batteries and the computer. For 24 volt hookups in series (achieving 24 volts across two 12 volt battieries), you must charge each...

    Likely a failed pilot bearing or pressure plate and/or its adjustment.

    Paint vs Stain

    I'd vote for stain. Less maintenance and easier to re-coat down the road.

    Tractor Generator Problems

    You need to take the generator and the regulator to your favorite and competent auto electrical guy for a thorough diagnosis. It is far easier for that guy to diagnose the short issue with his test equipment which may be draining your battery and blowing the fuse. Could be the regulator or the...

    1992 John Deere 2755

    If it was a cab model, I'd be jumping on it. That being said, the 2755 was one of the best smaller-framed, utility-sized tractors Deere ever built. The problem is there are no decent comparables. Look on Tractor House and most of them are dead with high hours and ready to go to tractor heaven. I...
