The only time a tractor can be pushed by the fly wheel effect of an emplement is if the PTO drive comes off of the drive train of the tractor instead of an independent drive. The 790 has an independent drive for the PTO and will not push your tractor no matter what.

If anyone is looking to purchase a new loader I would strongly recomend a Great Bend and Wyatt Farm Center, Wyatt, Indiana. I had a JD 1050 with MFWD and wanted to install a loader on it.I researched every manufacturer I could find to compare specs.and asked for recomendations on the CTB. I found Great Bend was consistantly rated very high, had one of the best lift capacities and the strongest frame that tied to the rear axle. In an unrelated message on the CTB I came across Chuck from Wyatt Farm Center, from the message I deducted that he is a dealer. I placed an e-mail of what I had and what I wanted and asked them to quote me a price. Wyatt sent me a price that was right in my budget so I ordered it. Wyatt had everything set-up perfectly and gave me great advice on what was needed for my tractor. I recieved the loader about 2 weeks ago, spent a saturday afternoon installing it and I've been in awe ever since. This is a extremely high quality piece of equipment represented by an extremely high quality dealer.

If in ten years you decide to sell your home, the new buyer dies because of hitting a electrical wire that was not properly installed, who do you think will be held liable? Find out what your local codes say and follow them. Cutting corners like this is not worth years of worring about what could happen.

Has anyone been able to do any better than list price on tractor parts, if so who is the dealer and what kind of discount are you able to get? I'm interested in JD , however I'm sure ather brand owners would be interested in hearing on there tractor brand discount parts.

Hi Rodger
I just recently put a power steering kit on my JD1050. It works great, mounted as good as could be expected (good) and had very good instructions. It was well worth the purchase. My only concern is it takes away from the already wimpy flow from the hydraulics, I'm investigating a higher volume pump now.

Hi Ken
You are exactly right about my tire size requirements and that is the main reason I want to go with only the front wheel change. I could purchase new rears to match my fronts or purchase new fronts to match my rears. However I do it I will probably need to purchase new tires all the way around. Even if your not interested in a trade I may be interested in purchasing your fronts if you you choose to sell them in the future, keep me in mind.

Thanks

Thank-you for your responses, I think I've resolved the problem. What I found was JD originally stacked two seals on top of each other as shown in the tech manual (early style) then they came out with a single seal design (what I have) however it is not published in a parts book or in a tech. manual there was a bulletin posted in 1986 stating that the seal is a part number CH17593, this seal was only used a short time before the casting was redesigned to accept a sleeve and larger diameter seal (later style). So if any of you need this seal use #CH1793. Before I replaced the seal I installed a "Speedi-sleeve" over the worn area of the casing to give a smooth, groove free place for the new seal to ride.

thanx again
Jim

I am looking for a smaller version of an automotive differential.<br>It would be a t-shaped gearbox, with drive coming in on the vertical part of the letter

If you have something like this, with a 1/2" or larger shaft size, I live in Tampa FL and would appreciate hearing from you via e-mail.
Thanks,
Jim
