First Timer.... Need some help. Bought used 5234 3 mos. ago. 2004, 354 hrs, now have 374hrs. Was using FEL to dig dirt over the weekend and developed a clunking noise in the transmission while moving forward in 4wd and when Will make the same noise once in awhile in reverse. Sounds like something is hitting the case as it rotates but does not increase with speed. Also noticed that when you try to move the tractor in reverse at start up it fills like the brakes are on. Am I headed for a major repair? New to this board and tractor and could use some suggestions. Thanks, bob.

After reading a bit more... there are a few pressure tests that can be done to diagnose the system. The other possibility is that the forward proportioning valve is going out but I think the pressure tests are used to diagnose that.

It does look like we will need to replace the head gasket. My brother-in-law ran the tractor with the radiator cap removed and saw lots of bubbles in the coolant. Hopefully Northern provides the torque specs and torque sequence in the manual. How many hours should we run it before we retorque?

I am surprised the link to the assessment is still up here. Other websites have been contacted by the Dept. of Home Land Stupidity and apparently threatened into removing the link.

It may be coming faster than you thought

I have a xuv 620i 4x4 JD gator. It just recently started making a squealing noise, really annoying, the entire time the engine is on. I brought it down to the JD dealership to see what was going on and they told me it was the fuel pump and this is what they sound like when they get older. My gator only has 172 miles on it!!! Does anyone else have a gator that does this. Can it be fixed?<br>

Thanks.

am not sure if its a Turf or not the book book says Gator utility Vehicle. But I know the guy who bought it first he said that he had the bigger engine put in it and from what I can tell its the engine that went in the 6x4 gator. Its not the original engine and the plugs are long

Rich; When we retired and sold the lion's share of the farm we kept 50 Ac. with a house and shed, so I'm pretty close to a match, I'm even from NE Iowa.
I used mostly Deere farm equip because of a nearby strong dealership, so I've got a Deere 4310, (33-34 hp) along with the equipment to fit, loader, backhoe, tiller, brush mower, rear finish mower, and stuff I can't remember. It's been a solid dependable tractor with parts and service nearby when I need it, so I'm happy with it.
I've got a similar situation with waterways, road ditches, etc. to mow. I'd keep the zero turn and get a rear mount finish mower, but don't overdo the width of cut, just wide enough to cover your tracks. too wide makes them scalp in places, take more power and sometimes hard to manuver between trees, etc. Lots of good brand mowers, but I favor Land Pride, a bit pricey but hard to destroy. Sticks, rocks, and whatever seem to have a way of hiding in the grass, so a bit beefer is always good with a mower. Frank.

"from case"?
Is that who bought Allis Chambers tractors? Is there an old Allis Chamber dealership near you? If so talk with them. Some dealerships are good on used parts. Also depending on your state some State's Dept of Agriculture have a web site or paper for items wanted and for sale in their state.

I am sure there is, but everything is in Japanese. I have been messing with it and am getting close. With 3 knobs to turn and 4 buttons to click and 4 different settings it gets a little complicated but I think I will get it.

The biggest thing with the skid steers is the wheel offsets and the number of holes in the rim which they both should be eight hloe rims. Other wise they will even go from brand to brand!

I would check to see if the fuel shut off still has power to it.

Unless yours has the power steering it is a gear unit.

Sorry to hear that, but thanks for warning everyone. The feed is the most problematic area on the Jinma chippers too. I gotta say the $9k I spent on a used 85hp tow behind bandit chipper was some of the best money I've ever spent. It flat out works.

I bought the JD as I had one to trade and they are a pretty reasonable dealership to work with. I don't know much about the NH but the 5101E Limited is somewhat lacking in the ergo department too. The 3ph and rear hydraulic levers are a little far back for comfort. (Read my complete 5101E review of a few weeks ago on this site.) I am otherwise quite happy with the JD after adding 2000# fluid. Undoubtedly NH makes a nice machine too but I'm just not familiar with them. The power shuttle and wet clutch are huge considerations, though, over the life of the tractor if the NH doesn't have them.

That price sounds about right. You might have found a used one for a little cheaper. They pop up from time to time, but you have to be waiting for it. I picked up a used JD 84" snow blade that goes on a skid steer. It is like new for less then half price. I will modify it for my 522 loader. It was a price to good to pass up and welding on the quick connect parts is easy. Just have to keep your eyes on the prize for when a good deal comes up.
