My 47 BH frame does have a hole in the frame but as best I can tell, the only thing I can see is a large bolt of some sort. I thought that hole may be for viewing the sight glass but I couldn't see it.
I will have to double check now because I'm so surprised that JD would allow such an oversight on viewing the Hyd oil level.
I'll have to check in the a.m..
To all, thanks for the input.

Can anyone tell me or tell me where to check for market value on a machine?<br>

I have a 2002 JD 4210 4WD, with 170 hrs, backhoe model 47 w/ 16" bucket, FEL, fiberglass top, Armour Shield engine cowling cover with protective shields for FEL hyd lines.<br>
Outside of a little bit of rust spots, the machine is in excellent condition.<br>
Any insight is great appreciated.<br>
Thanks, <br>

03-4210 MARKET VALUE

Not speaking from Deere experience, but I was a marine engineer for 14 years.
The �was� part of that story can be simplified by noting that my wife wanted children�so bye-bye ocean. But seriously, black oil in a diesel is normal. I�m new to tractors (and loving my 4210 but wife is getting nervous about that�).
As stated, unlike gasoline engines, diesels are prone to carbon build up, soot, blow by, ect, but that is typical and does not pose a problem on its own. However, a better measure of when oil needs to be changes is viscosity change and oil analysis. Not sure if either is really practical on small engines. On larger HP engines 2500HP and up, we would only change the oil as per the hours, viscosity, analysis or an obvious fuel dilution. These engines took upwards of 250 gallons per engine so you had to be a bit surer the oil was compromised. On a 5 or 6 qt engine, when in doubt-drain it out. But don�t be nervous about a dark color.

Can anyone shed some light on the 4000/10 series fork lifts.<br>
I can not find much info on anything other than bolt on forks.<br>
I do see that some of you have the fork unit. How much are they? Any links?<br>
Thanks<br>

Any ideas on the cost to retro fit a 2002 4210 to a 4 in 1 bucket? Any leads on websites for that?<br>
<br>
Also, looking at Paynes med duty bucket forks.<br>
For an '02 4210, what is the approximate lifting capacity with bolt-on forks? <br>
<br>
The options are light duty forks rated at 800# or medium duty rated at 2000#. <br>
<br>
Again, any insight is greatly appreciated!<br>
Thanks, <br>

Thank you everyone for all your input.
I really appreciate the advice.

I am getting the machine delivered next Friday so I'm trying to prepare for maintenance.

Also, there are Service Manuals on Ebay (on CD only) that seem to sell for $15 to $25. What do the hardcopy manuals (owner's and service manuals) cost from the dealer?
