    2550 Open Station Replacement Seat

    Gentlemen, I'm looking to replace the seat on my John Deere 2550 open station with something a bit "better" than the $100 Tractor Supply generic replacement seat. It looks like Grammer doesn't make a seat that fits my tractor (and is likely too expensive, anyway), but I did find this seat...

    2950 Proofmeter Woes

    I have a 2950 SoundGard I bought back in the fall, and it's spent the winter in various states of dis-assembly as I'm getting it ready for the hay field this summer. The "proofmeter" doesn't work on it (the cluster gauge that shows the hours and the engine RPMs). When our mechanic had the...

    2950 Wiring Diagram

    I am in need of a comprehensive wiring diagram for my 2950. It's not in the I&T shop manual. I used to have a 4050 that I needed a wiring diagram for, and even the Mother Deere manual didn't have it for that tractor, either. There was a *thick* shop manual I found online that was well...

    2950 Clutch Cylinder Sourcing

    I am needing to replace the "lower" (larger) clutch cylinder on my 2950 SGB. Deere "offers" two cylinders, one is from A&I (I believe; I know it's A&[something]), it's just over $100. The other is from Deere--it's $300. In trying to source the cheaper cylinder, my dealer tells me...

    Deere 245 Loader vs. 148 - Loader Cylinder Connections

    I have a 2550 with a 245 loader, and a 2950 with a 148 loader. I am looking to convert the 148 to the same implement attachment assembly as is on the 245 (QuickTatch, I think?). On the 245, there is a series of brackets between the bucket cylinders and the top mount of the attatchment...

    Deere 2950 Rear Glass - Convert from N. American to European

    I have a 2950 SoundGard that I'd like to convert the rear glass in from the North American-style to the European "gas strut" style (such as what appears on the 3050). In cross-referencing the parts, it looks like the European glass has mounting holes for the struts in a higher location than the...

    Deere 148 Loader w/ Custom-Made Bale Spear - Rollback Issue?

    I have a new-to-me Deere 2950 with a Deere 148 loader. As you can see from the pics below, When the cylinders are "rolled all the way back", the spear doesn't come "up"--it sticks straight out. It looks to me like this is a custom-built bale spear, or at least the pinhole brackets...

    Late 4050 - Electrical Issues

    Working on my relatively-new-to-me late model 4050. Long story short: hardly any gauges work, and none of the knobs overhead (AC, heat, wipers, etc.) work. However, the flashers built into the cab do work (except the ones I need to replace the bulbs in haha). This tractor does *not* have the...

    1988 4050 - Two Questions

    First, I always have to thank those of you that take the time to answer us poor novices' questions on here. There is an old saying, "I wish I knew half of what you all have forgotten." That being said, I come here again seeking help/advice. Several weeks ago, I posed this question regarding...

    1988 4050 MWFD Clutch Housing Leak

    The saga of the 4050 continues... https://imgur.com/gallery/rX5ldnR In the images above (I couldn't get them to upload to this site, despite using the image uploader many times in the past), you can see where a previous owner has used some kind of putty to attempt to stop this leak. It's...

    4050 PowerShift Questions & FWD Leak

    Correct PowrShift Pressure for 30 Series Same As 50 Series?

    This is related to my thread here https://forums.yesterdaystractors.com/viewtopic.php?t=1404234, but it may be beneficial to someone else looking for a separate issue: I am looking to buy a 4050 Deere PowerShift, and (long story short), I need to check the transmission operating pressure on...

    Looking to Buy - 4050 - Issues?

    Gents, I am going to look at a 4050 today (cab, FWD, 15 speed Powershift, 359 turbo engine), possibly to purchase. The pictures show a well-used tractor, which I'm not entirely afraid of, but if the bones are good and the price is right... For context, these 50 series Waterloo machines are...

    2550 Front Hydraulic Pump Leaking

    Gents, I'm back! My hydraulic front pump on our 2550 Deere is leaking on top between the pump and the pump cover. It's a pretty significant leak (as evidenced by the broad trail of fluid I left on the road yesterday). All the bolts I can reach with the pump on the tractor are tight. Long...

    Eastern-ish Pennsylvania Or Other - Where to See Deeres

    In 2 weeks, my wife and I will most likely be traveling to New York State up I-81 through Virginia into Eastern(ish) Pennsylvania (she wants to see Hershey), then on into New York State up to Ticonderoga. I would like a chance to see, get on, and possibly even test drive some New Generation...

    841S - Total Travel for Rear Lift

    Had an issue with the lift on my 841S. Wouldn't raise at all. It sat all winter (inside), and now I finally got it to the mechanic to repair. The Cam Follower Pin was all but gone, so I got a new one and he got it installed. A few evenings later, I came to help him, and we followed the...

    2550 - How to Tell Which SCV is Mine?

    After some sage advice from you fellers regarding the hydraulics on my FWD open station 2550, we have sent it off to my Dad's trusted local mechanic (former VDOT mechanic and local farmer). He is going to do as you suggest and start with the SCV that is "barely working." He has requested a...

    I should begin this post (and really every post I make on here) by sincerely thanking everyone who contributes to the wealth of knowledge on the YT forums. Without you guys over the last few years, I would have been up the creek many times, and my pocket book would be much thinner than it...

    Deere - How to Tell if Hours High and Other Stuff

    Looking at an older Deere to possibly buy. Proofmeter doesn't work. What are some tell-tale signs that a machine has some hours on her, vs. some things to look for that could show she's been taken care of? For instance, lots of wear on the pedals can show high hours. Or a shoddy repaint...
