[QUOTE=crunch;201317] So here I am 11 years later at 69 years old.So after 34 years at IBM, I drove my tractor to help people for a year, did short stints as an appraiser, loading medical databases, working at Lowes in the garden center and now I am in my 8th year as a professor with 2 more years to go.My first wife passed away unexpectedly 5 years ago and now am remarried to a wonderful woman.My JD4310 tractor is at my son's house and I now have a NH workmaster 25s for just around the yard.Life is a wild roller coaster ride - you never know where you are going to end up. [/QUOTE] I also retired in 2008, I found out I work just as hard and only retired from a paycheck.. but it's nice to still have something to do

[QUOTE=boatmoter;201349] remove the starter and give the flywheel teeth a visual . see if the edges of they teeth are sharp. as a retired automotive Electrician & starter & Alternator builder we used to have the same problem on some staters, mostly off road heavy equipment like dozers,loaders & semi tractors.when teeth sharp from wear the teeth will have hold of the starter drive and not release it which keeps the starter engaged. this will also cause the starter to run at engine RPM and it will sling all the armature leads out of the commutator, then the starter will be a total loss.if sharp,a file in between each tooth will cure the problem to remove any sharp edges. if the starter drive spins freely by hand,the drive should also be replaced [/QUOTE] thats is if the starter drive spins easily by hand. and on road semi tractors

Hi All, purchased a 2120 ,ALL the hydraulics stopped working on it at the same time,loader, 3 point,power steering,HSS, I see 3 pumps on it,one on the right hand timing cover says it's the Hydraulic pump, the 2 on the left side of engine are Hss & power steering, looks like the hydraulic pump feeds the other pumps since it's first on the Suction pipe , would this pump be feeding the others fluid?? has anyone else had all the hydraulics go out at the same time?? fluid is full
