I have a 1995 Dodge Ram 1500 with 360 and tow package. Does real good for a half ton truck.

I also have a 1974 Dodge D200 Club Cab with 440/727 Dana 60 4.10 with the GVW of 9000lbs due to the camper springs on the rear. One heavy duty old truck. 7.5 mpg no matter what you do! ;)

Looking for an old Dodge Power Wagon WDX flat fender.

Yes it should fit an 850 just fine. Reason I am selling it is I do not use it. I have a Lot & Field Mowing business and cannot get the tractor on the trailer with the belly mower attached to the tractor. Wont make the angle up the ramps. Its also to hard to take on and off all the time. Its a 6 foot mower. Cuts nice grass real good. Doesnt do so hot in 2 feet of weeds but its not supposed to. My business has been bushhog work only. I figured if a finish mower was needed I would get a 3pt.

So whats the amount of degree's before say a JD950 will tip over? Whats the safe amount of degree's to go on a slope. I know i have mowed some ditches that while on the seat seemed like it was at an extreme angle but looking at it off the tractor it wasnt that bad of a slope.

MY manual just says to not engage at high speed or try to turn. Also not to engage it if one wheel is spinning and the other is stopped.

Then is says if tires repeatedly slip, then get traction,then slip again. hold pedal in the engaged position.

This is what I was trying to do and couldnt do it. Had to use the hand throttle which I dont like to do because I like the speed of my foot to cut off power if I have to stop fast.

This is correct. Different applications require the different oil hole. I asked this same questions many months ago on my JD950. Someone had a good idea that on my JD 950 when changing oil that dumping the new oil into the TOP hole would maybe pre lube the engine some before you started it up after the oil change as there always seems to be some lag time for the new oil to fill the filter and move about the engine.

I paid 5900$ for a 1982 JD 950 2wd with a rebuilt diesel.

Good luck finding a JD loader for it. I think they make aftermarket units.

My friend as a Kioti DK45 with loader and has done a lot of work with it this first year he has owned it. Plenty of power and seems to run really good. We have a dealer locally. Only question is will it last 50 years like some of the old classics?

When I was looking at tractors I looked at the china Agracats and they had a cab on one of theirs with a small 12volt fan/heater in it. Finding something like this may be easier then redoing the cab for heat from the engine.

Whats everyone's 950 diesel's rpms at idle? Mine seems to hunt between about 600 and 900 but if I bump the throttle up a little bit it will run steady and purr along at 1000rpms exactly and never miss a beat. Get lower then that on the throtttle and it hunts. Do I have an injector problem starting or does the 950 idle at 1000rpms?

Yesterday a friend of mine was working his 45 horse Kioti with a bushhog and he twisted the PTO shaft and tweaked the bushhog. He cut the twist out of the shaft and rewelded some pipe in to replace the tweaked part. We had to straighten the 3pt frame on the bush hog and he went back to work. He was in stuff that was 8 foot tall at least and it twisted the rest of the original PTO shaft up like a corkscrew. Does he have too much HP for this bushhog or is something else going on? He's not hitting things causing a sudden stop of the hog. He isnt shearing the pin he's just twisting PTO Shafts when it gets into the heavy stuff. I get my JD 950 and bushhog into this stuff and it hunkers down and goes thru but his Kioti is much bigger and my bushhog is much heavier then his. His looks like an old red and white TSC model.<br>ANy ideas?<br>Thanks!Todd

I have my belly mower off my JD 950 tractor for sale. It works fine I just am not using it in my field mowing business. When it is on the tractor I cannot get on the trailer as the mower is too wide to fit between fenders.It has 3 blades, side discharge<br>Giant PTO gearbox/pulley to drive the belt. All mounting hardware with the exception of a few bolts that you can get at the hardware store.<br>I am located in Hutchinson Kansas. Middle of Kansas. This thing is really too big to ship so one will have to come pick it up. I MIGHT be able to meet you a certain distance out. <br>500$ takes it all.<br>I have pictures I can email to those interested.t1wilsn2@swbell.net<br>Todd Wilson<br>

I think roger has some excellent ez things to try. I never thought about old fuel being the problem. New fuel, clean filters and put some cleaner in may take care of things. The bug in the crankcase vent is a good thing to check too. Never know when something may have crawled up in it and died! I sometimes put out blue smoke when that happens to me! ;)

John Deere makes some nice new tractors. Kubota has some nice new tractors.
Kioti has new tractors for a real good price.
I have a John Deere 950 that would be a great tractor for what you are wanting to do. Find a 4wd model with loader and you would be have a good setup used for a lot less then a new tractor.

My friend has the 45hp model Kioti. He has had it for a year now. He doesnt have many hours on it yet. Maybe around 50 hours but we have used it to clean up his 10 acres and it seems to be a good tractor. Good power and the loader works great on it. He has pushed over an old out building with it and we pulled a stump and it performed perfect. He is trying to sell it to me for my field mowing business but my little JD950 is doing just fine and I havent got enough business yet to warrant a 2nd tractor but if it was time to look at a new tractor I would look at the Kioti!

Well my little field mowing business is going better then expected this summer. I now have 100 hours on my new engine in the 950. I have changed the oil every 50 hours and did so today as it rolled 100 hours. Question?<br>Theres a oil hole on top of the engine at valve cover and then the side one in the block with the dipstick. When changing the oil should one pour the new oil in the top oil hole or the side one? Or does it really matter. Both times I have just poured it into the side block dipstick hole. Did get the little 950 into some nasty weeds today. Was a foot taller then the stack and roll bar and it bogged some and the governor kicked in and it blew black smoke like an old dump truck and proceeded through the weeds like a champ! I am liking my little 950 more and more as I use it. Its a small powerful little tractor. Anyways if someone can shed some light on why it has 2 oil holes that would be great and thanks!Todd<br>

I have a 1982 JD 950 and a MF59 model bushhog. I have heard about shear pins and slip clutches and am wondering if I have a safe guard on my setup. I know the 950 has a overrunning clutch and you can hear it ratchet as you push the clutch in to stop. Would this clutch also protect things if I were to hit a stump or something? I have a little lot and field mowing business going this summer and so far its been going great but am wondering if I need to do something to protect the equipment some more?!?!<br>ThanksTodd

I have owned my JD950 for about 3 months now and have had 2 flat rear tires. All I do is brush hog and the occasional dead tree drag and blade the road. Are there any tricks to not getting flat tires? Any goop to put in the tires to help. These are rear ag tires with tubes.Todd<br>
