Cutter, I guess I have not figured out how to attach and send a picture on this forum. Got any helpful hints? Jim in Middleton.

Glen, The charging system is fine. I have owned numerous batteries of this same venting design. Exide, Sears Die-Hard, also a couple of RV batteries with different filler caps. They all do the same thing. Last night I hauled a friends tractor, a 2000 JD 790 with only 45 hours on the clock. He had just bought it from a private party. I looked thru the grill and noticed a large gob of corrosion on the positive cable and the hold down bracket! Told him to get it cleaned up asap and get a Delco Freedom battery. Also I have e-mailed John Deere and am waiting for a reply. Jim

After checking out different batteries, I found a Delco Freedom battery the same size as the JD for my 4300. It only had 470 cranking amps! Back to the 35 6 yr Delco! My dealer said I would need about an inch of clearance away from the radiator. I made a petit frame from angle iron with a hold-down bracket for the top and 2 j-hooks from an auto parts store. Looks great and it works fine. An experienced person at an auto-electrical repair shop said that the little 5"x8 3/4" battery I took out{22nf} was identical to one made for the 67 Mustang!

Coffield, I too have a recently purchased JD 4300. The rear pto operates on my tractor exactly as yours. When using the bush hog mower the pto lever goes forwards quite easily. If you pull it back quickly the blades make a loud whack. I take my fist and bump the lever back an inch or two or until the pto light goes out. Then at an idle pull the lever back slowly and watch the driveshaft slow down. You still might get a thunk. There is nothing wrong with your tractor. Jim in Middleton

Dave, don't burn up all of your pity at once. My JD 4300 and it't 5 implements and the "old axel" work very well. I would buy this tractor over again without a second thought, from the same dealer.

I bought a JD 4300 last Oct. And it has been a great tractor. It only has 110 hrs. of use. I have had no problems with my 4300 and the dealer has been the best. Tractor has a 430 loader w/h.d.73" bucket, 6' box scraper, 5' bush hog mower and a 5' rototiller. Everything works great and I am a happy camper. By the way I have only 2 acres but I take on odd jobs in the area and do work for my neighbors, for a price.

I measured with a piece of eigth inch thick copper wire with yellow plastic coating, from bottom of gear box (top unit) to bottom of threaded filler hole. Curve top of wire for finger grip, measure up from bottom of wire one-third, mark vinyl coating with cutters and you have a King-Kutter dip-stick. Jim in Idaho
