Interesting enough I just brought mine back from the dealer. I had a seal out in axle stub and a bearing and a broken gear tooth. The bearing cage failed, allowing the balls to all work around toward one side, wearing the seal, the shaft and shifting the gear alignment. This was on the left, rebuilt the right about 5 years ago. Now both sides have been sleeved where the seal has worn the shaft. Yes the gear faces can and should be shimmed for proper tooth alignment/engagement; if not the tooth faces will not mesh properly and can result in worn or snapped teeth. We used to use lamp black and orange die on the gears to check interfaces. Each cast hub is a little different and each finished casting ends up bored just a little different too. I see you’ve been doing them yourself, check with a JD mechanic and see if he’ll show you how to use the shim sets to adjust gear engagement. I probably did mine in last season with the backhoe, might say I was a little rough on it. But it’s still a good tractor with lots of life to go……

Is your breaker an Arc-fault circuit breaker? If it is you may have an arcing switch, dimmer, lamp or lamp holder which will shut down the breaker.

G�day Mate:

I�ve just returned from your part of the world, was down to Kangaroo Valley and the Little Blow Hole at Kiama and over to Katomba. I�ve been going to Australia for the last 15 years, each year for work. Great place it is, I usually stay in Campbelltowne. My friends from there that come this way sure like to go to Los Vegas, not for the gambling but he entertainment and the steaks. I usually set them up with tours through the national parks in Utah, Arches, Zion, Bryce and Canyonlands, but that may be too far for the time you have. It is a winter season and I know you guys don�t get snow except up in the Snowies, so driving might be a freight, but Yellowstone in the winter is beautiful. The snowmobile trip would be one of those once in a life time adventures, you can start in West Gate, there are outfitters there who can help you out. I�ve learned from being in your country to try make each trip an adventure�..

I've added a photo 7, which will work using the relays you have. It will work, but has a high potential for flash over. The Red arrows would indicate the current flow for UP. The green arrows would indicate current flow for DOWN. I didn't understand your numbering for the contacts on you relays, but they are what is referred to as a form "C". If you can look inside the relay, the moving contact would be the terminal that goes to the motor leads. The normally closed and normally opens should be wired like shown. If you get it wrong the motor may run all the time or not at all. Be sure to use an auto reset automotive circuit breaker in the hot lead. There is nothing worse than having the parts and not being able to get it to work. I�m currently building a 300 PSI PTO driven tree sprayer and adding hydraulic tilt to my snow blower chute. G'day

Too bad about that roll over, guess it's one of those life lessons that we all end up getting.
Will the any of the lights or flashers work? They don't require the saftey switches, maybe only the main switch to be on. Have you checked the battery cables to make sure something didn't get pulled loose if the battery moved during the roll? If you can find someone to help with a voltmeter it will narrow down the problem quicker.

Hello:

Just wanted to provide additional feedback, after trying out a number of tractors from different dealers, we purchased a X724 Deere with a 64" deck from a Deere dealer in Monroe WI. For our purposes this seemed like the best unit for our needs. We are happy with the handling, ease of access to service points and the increased width stability. Hope it performs as well as our 855 has. I wonder if these are built in Horicon, WI?

FYI: Bolens was build in Port Washington, WI back in the 60s/70s.

Happy Holidays and God bless our troops

I've had a issue like that with mine. It ended up the brake pedal was sticking slightly limiting the travel of the hydro petals. If you are like me you don't use the left hand pedals for the wheel brakes all that much and they get sticky. Crawl under there, clean it out and look for all the grease zerks, I found that the service manual does not show them all. Use the proper weight grease or when it gets cold the pedals are slow to return to the neutral position.
Good Luck

I'm looking for feedback on the life of the 23hp Liquid Cooled Kawasaki V-twin engine that John Deere uses in the X475 tractor. I've considering buying a lawn tractor but am worried about how long that motor would last. I would prefer the diesel except for the cost. I have a Kawasaki air-cooled on the material collection system for my 855 and I'm on the 3rd engine. The engine runs flat out and life has been about 3 years, even with 3 oil changes a season and adding an aux. air filter. My neighbor is looking for his second motor after 3 years of use on his unit. I guess this leaves me feeling less that great about Kawasaki. I'd like to hear back from form users. <br>

Thank you.<br>

I searched the Woods site and found the plans for the 750 hoe mounting frame for my JD tractor. It wasn't easy, but it was on there. It converts the 3pt mount to a removable subframe mount, like the Deere hoe had

I had crazy problems with my Woods hoe dipper / bucket circuit. Turned out a nut down in the linkage had come loose and one of the little arms that operates the valves had moved out of position causing the bucket to roll slowly when drawing in the dipper. Couldn't see it with the covers on. Don't over look the simple stuff.
