You do not need to turn the fuel up. Your 231 (38) is rated at 2000 rpm and the 240 is rated at 2250 rpm (45 hp). Put your tractor on a dyno and you will see it has more than 38 HP

Thomas,
I had the same experience with my 670. New part number, smaller filter. While i too would prefer the larger filter (size matters) I had no problem with it. If it bothers you, I guess you could cut your oil change interval. It wouldn't cost that much money.

I have a 670 with a front end loader. I got a kit from JD that added aft hydraulics so I can operate a backhoe. The kit cost $127.00, came with fantastic instructions. I kind of winced when I saw the two rigid lines I had to install, knowing I would have to massage them a bit to make them fit. To may surprise they fit perfectly! Check out your dealer. There were several different kits for my machine, one that tapped into the four lines for the FEL and ran aft. The other one (that I got) tapped into the hyd pressure and return ports by the rock shaft module. Good luck. SteveB.

I have a '91 JD 670 with out the mid pto. Looking at the parts book and my IT manual it looks like I could buy the piece parts and just bolt the mid pto gear box and linkage in place. Could it be that simple??? It doesn't look like there is any difference to the internals of the transmission, so was this just an "add on" option? Thanks for the help. SteveB

I have owned a JD-670 4wd with a model 60 front end loader for a year now. Had about 300 hours on it when I got it. Its only 18 hp, but do I ever love it. Very manuveralbe. Good for what I need. From all I have read, all of the Yanmar/JD's are bullet proof as long as you work them within their capabilities, ie don't try to use the front end loader like you would a D9 CAT!!
The price seems about right, although prices vary with geography. I gave just over 10K for mine. Enjoy!!

Bob, what kind of service do you need to perform? Regular maintenance, oil change, ect or actual repairs? If it is routine maintenance stuff I would suggest getting the owners manual from deere. If it is repair type work you could probably get hold of an IT manual (stands for Inter Tech I think). If you go to get the acual deere manuals for your tractor the are pretty pricey and you have to buy several to cover the entire tractor. They come in groups, like the frame group, the rear end group, ect.. The IT manuals will step you through stuff like a clutch change, pulling a head ect... If you don't want to spend your $$$ at your local deere dealer, I would recomment jensales.com. Ask for Paul and tell him Steve Baker sent you. Jensales sells a couplete line of Deere manuals as well as the most complete selection of antique tractor manuals that I know of. Good luck.

Dana, I put aux remote hyd on my 670. Used a kit from JD that picked pressure and return up from the valve body that controls the 3pt lift. It cost $123 plus tax. The instructions with the kit were explicit to say the least! The rigid lines I had to install were perfect. You would then have to get a couple of quick disconnects to match what is in the kit(standard stuff at a hydraulic hose shop) and run a line to an Open Center selector valve for you cement mixer. I am planning on doing the same for my cement mixer!!!! Where did you get yours?

I want to use a Costal product that says it meets JD 20A and JD 20C specs. My owners manual says I should use an oil that meets JD 20B. What's the difference or am I OK with the Costal?

Ed, maybe you can shed some light on my situation. I have seen a No 7 with the subframe attached sitting on the ground, not attached to the tractor. I can where the sub frame would attach to the bottom of the loader fittings on my machine. What I can't see on the No 7 in my area is where it attaches to the back of the tractor. I can see a flexible link of some kind replaces the adjustable link of the three point. What I need is to figure out what fitting/fittins it bolts to in the back of the tractor. Does your documentation show any of that???

Seems a little high to me, but it depends on the condition of the tractor and I also don't know the value of some of the implements either.

Got done bush hogging a pasture yesterday. Brought the machine home and, as is my habit, cleaned it off, removing all the grass clippings and clearing the radiator inlet, hosed the whole works off. I had the seat tilted up when I was doing that and noticed BOTH seat brackets were cracked and deformed. I don't know how much longer the seat would have stayed on. Gave me the shivers just thinking about that seat coming off while I was bush hogging. Broke out the welder and fixed the cracks and reinforced the brackets. TILT THAT SEAT UP AND CHECK YOUR BRACKETS AND MOUNT BOLTS!!!! Another reason to clean your equipment before you put it up. You stand a better chance of finding broken stuff the more you look for it.

I have a JD670 that I want to mount a small(caddigger) backhoe on the 3 point. I have been reading that this can be deterimental to the tractor. I have also read about a subframe that I assume attaches to the tractor and then the backhoe would attach to the subframe which would act to spread out the load. Does anyone know if there is one available for this machine? I could adapt the caddigger to it. SteveB

I have a JD670 with a model 60 front end loader. It has the selector vlv to control the lift arms and bucket and the 4 quick disconnects on the l/h side. I want to add a pressure and return line for aft hydraulics capability. There are several different kits shown in the JD parts manual, but I can't figure out what would work with the existing system I have. I don't want the rear hydraulics to be in series with the bucket controls as I don't want to have to take the loader off to use the aft hydraulics. My local JD deeler has been unable to help, and says there is no one at JD who would help me with this. Any ideas???

David, I have a 655 4wd w/a model 60 front end loader and am very pleased with it. I have done some light bush hogging with a 5' bush hog and it handled it well. I would assume your machine is more than the 18hp mine is putting out. It sounds like you have a good piece of equipment for the price and task. I paid a little over 10k for mine, it had 312hrs on it. Good luck.
