More details needed. Does it crank but not kick? Does it crank and kick but not run? Is there any smoke?

You need a new dealer, one that employ technicians instead of parts-changers.

I believe all compact JD machines are open center but the manual for yours should say so in the spec section. You don't want to run one without connecting that hose between the power beyond outlets.

Except for the color it looks a lot like the service trucks our local JD dealer uses. Course I never looked at the brand but it sure does a nice job for them. You're moving up, good job!

It's difficult to scan wiring diagrams since they consist of many interrelated pages and there are often several different diagram sets depending on the type of transmission or option set of a tractor. You'd be far better off buying a service manual since this won't be the only question that comes up.<br>

My experience with industrials was a dismal failure. They plug easily with moist soil and don't self-clean like ags. They slide in dry powdery soil. They are hard as rocks and won't flex over uneven terrain which also reduces their traction. I was lucky that after a month my dealer was willing to swap them out with ags, which I like a whole heck of a lot better. IMO industrials are only useful if you spend the entire day working on hard, dry, well compacted surfaces.

[QUOTE=kubman;169400] I have been looking around the attachment market after receiving all the opinions here and so far have not seen anything that fits the bill for what I want to do except for loader buddy.Gonna see what kind of deal I can get and take a chance.Still don't know why you guys are so against something you have never tried. [/QUOTE]<br>

There's been a lot of reasons given but it seems like you have dismissed them. I once had a boss who asked me to give him data supporting a decision he already made. That sort of seems like the path your are taking, looking for data to support a purchase you want to make. That's fine, everyone is free to spend their money as they see fit.<br>
<br>
If you do get a loader buddy please post some pictures and your experiences. You might change our minds or you might change yours.<br>

(BTW, my boss' decision was wrong, the data didn't support him, and it cost the company $2M dollars).

No hydraulic but the simplest method is to pile weight on the hitch or implement.

My 20 year old chipper doesn't give a change interval at all for the 30 gallons of 30 weight it uses, but it does say to change the filter every xxx hours (don't remember). The oil may never have been changed and I don't feel like dealing with disposal of 30 gallons of the stuff.

The paranoid side of me says if it can talk to you it can listen to you.<br>
<br>
Forgive me if I said this before but for a many years I wrote software for a vehicle tracking system in LA. It had a control center where operators at times were bored. There was no requirement for security and operators could peruse the database at will. Being LA there were a lot of celebrities in the database and operators would find them and track their vehicles to see where they were. A stalker and extortionist dream come true. In those days there wasn't the ability to talk or listen to the customer though. At one point we the owners discussed a relationship with GM to either provide tracking services or to be bought outright. That never happened but a few years later GM launched OnStar.<br>
<br>
It wouldn't surprise me if bored OnStar operators (maybe now they are government employees) tracked and listened in to folks at times. Famous people, suspicious spouses and parents or just someone they know.

If you need to load any heavy pallets in the bed of a pickup the 3 point forks won't do the job. But they will generally carry much more weight than loader forks of any type.

I just received an email that said something like "You have a new private message at TractorXXXXX.com", where XXXXX was another word (don't want to give them publicity here).<br>
<br>
They *almost* got me. I figured it was TractorPoint and almost clicked when I realized that it was not. Now it may be a scam site, or a phishing site, or just some schmoe who is using spam to promote his site, but you've got to read those subject lines and sender address carefully to prevent getting sucked in.<br>

Just a warning to be careful out there, scammers are getting more and more clever. Bastards.

The JD manual for your tractor may require loaded tires in almost any configuration when used with a loader. That may be lawyer-speak for CYA but it is also a very safe way to go. That said, here are my thoughts.<br>
<br>
Both wheel weights and a ballast box are fairly easy to install and remove. But they are expensive, probably won't add enough weight to fully ballast a loader, and money spent here literally buys dead weight that doesn't have any other use. Plus it takes up space when it's not needed.<br>
<br>
A lot of guys think the money is better spent on a rear implement like a box scraper. A medium duty box scraper hanging further back than a ballast box has the advantage of leverage to give more effective ballast than a ballast box hanging closer to the rear axle and will have uses other than just dead weight for moving material, maintaining roads, leveling, etc.<br>
<br>
But if you have to work in tight areas the box scraper will make it harder to maneuver.<br>
<br>
What I did is to load the rear tires, which is all the ballast needed most of the time. When I need to carry full buckets of wet soil I add the box scraper.<br>

You can put a picture on your profile. Yours did not work for some reason but you can try again. I've never had a problem with that feature.

Or, you can place a picture on a website somewhere like photobucket.

Once the picture is accessible with a link then you can give users access to the picture in a few ways. The easiest is to use the 'link' box when posting. Give the picture a title in the Link Title box and then copy and paste the link to the "Link URL" box. Be careful that the http text at the beginning of the link isn't duplicated (easy to do when copy and pasting).

If the link is to a picture you can paste it to the Picture/Image URL box instead of the Link URL box.

You can also put a link or picture inline with your text. When you post there are instructions on how to do that just above the text box where you type your message.

My guess is that sharp blades would be much more prone to cracking. A fine edge can be dinged a lot easier than a dull one and cracks start from there.

I am not a builder but will had my 0.5 cents. Since the general rule is to put the vapor barrier plastic or insulation face on the warm side of the wall I wonder if there's a requirement that a healthy vent space be allowed between the metal siding and OSB to allow it to breathe.

I don't know if a bleach spray will be adequate, sorry. If it were me I'd tear it out but then that's real easy to say from here.

I don't know your particular tractor but will toss out a couple of thoughts.

The lever under the steering wheel may be a tilt control for the column/wheel. On JDs they tend to bind up.

Regarding the tail lights, I restore old pinball machines. Sort of a non sequitur, but these machines each have several strings of lamps, sometimes 12-15 per string. On one machine an entire string was out. I spent a couple of hours trying to figure out what was wrong. You guessed it, all 14 bulbs were out. Check the lamps first! It could be that the bulbs are burned out or even missing. Stranger things have happened.
