Scotty- What you are attempting to do is most admirable and certainly in the tradition of the John Deere Co. which has been venerated by Americans since its inception. You might have noted that there were several posts with advise on the scuffing problem recently and very few reponses to those posts. I think either the people with the problem are out for the weekend or they are numb from all of the previous discussions.. If you do not get a lot of emails in responce to your offer, then , if I might suggest that you still hook up a pc at the conference and log on to this board and go to "thread order" {menu at top of the screen} and show the JD people the pages on "4300 scuffing..and more" This is deep into the page listings so you have to look for it. You will be doing the customers a heck of a favor and I personally don't like JD knocked and would like to see them take a greater interest in the people that made them an American institution. Need a dealer like you near me. Bo

I just want to add that I have a Yanmar 2500 which is Identical to the 850 and it is notoriously weak in the charging system.The alternators dont put out much juice,so dont expect too much charging...

I'm not sure why you are not getting a response to your post and I don't have a clue if the price is right. Probably no one has a clue if the price is right because there are more things to consider. Is the DSCV option included in the price? What do you plan to do with the tractor? Are you getting HST or Gear trans? Why would you limit yourself to 2wd? What type of tires are included? If all you want is a small tractor with 2wd, gear trans, and no hydraulics why not get a good Ford 8n for 13 or 14 thousand less?? Another good choice would be a Farmall H. I purchased a JD4100 in June,99. I was certain that I would never want the DSCV option but the dealer refused to sell without it(I ended up getting it at dealer cost). The first option that I purchased for the tractor was the front end loader. It was the only thing that my dealer has been right about but he was right. If you provide a little more information the people on this forum will go out of their way to help you.

I just bought TC21D and the dealer also sold me a 5' rear discharge bush hog finish mower. I mow about 3 hilly acres. I also found it a little too much for the TC21D. I returned the mower and plan to buy a Land Pride 4' rear discharge,I think the model # is FDR1549.

The machine is an L series, 37hp, 4wd, with the HST. I have been running Amsoil front to back since 200hrs. (as I do with all equipment). The fan is a back to front flow, with the HST cooler in front, and we have already had a cowl fabricated to force more air through the rad, and inquired about a higher pitch blade but were told that they are too agressive for use above 1500rpm, we run at (nearly) full throtle most of the time. The symptoms I have talked about have existed since it was new, even had Kubota's tech.'s look it over, the measured, tested, etc., and said everything was "within factory spec.", in fact better than most they saw. Bottom line, it & any one of the GST's, hauling EXACTLY the same load in a dump trailer behind, will pull away from it like it was running a gear lower.

Thanks Jack in Il. I will keep the part number handy just in case the dealer has another brain fart like he did with the air filter mess. If you are still watching the JD4100 smoke issue, I hope to have an answer to the glowplug question by tomorrow or the next day.

I can't tell you much,but maybe this will give you a little info. I have a 4000 diesel,about 1964.It's an industrial model(yellow/Blue). I rebuilt the engine 5 years ago,and have been pleased with the tractor.you don't have the comfort level of modern tractors,but it's a workhorse.I've gat a front loader on it,and can pick up about anything I want to.It pulls a 5.5 ft hardee bushog without any problem. It's a good all around tractor if you don't need any frills.

Hi Roger...

I have turf tires up front and really wide Goodyear Traction tires on the back. I really don't know quite how to describe them other than the tread design looks like someting that you would see on a four-wheeler. More agressive than turf, act like bar tires but also float like turf. I got the chains from the local JD dealer as part of the original purchase. I remember they had to order them but they were reasonable. They are really well made and fit fine. I've seen some negative comments about chains on this board, but I have none. As a matter of fact, I don't know how anyone could efficiently run a compact 4WD without them. I really like mine and just about makes the darn thing unstoppable. If there is a negative, they work so well that when I do get stuck, (happened twice) I am REALLY stuck! I got myself out the first time by working the hydraulics on the blade and pushed my way back out inch by inch. The second time I was buried and had to pull it out with my truck. Some say that it changes the diameter of the tire and will screw up the tractor somehow. I really don't follow that. That may be true for cars/trucks, but my front tires are much smaller than the rear, so that doesn't seem like a valid arguement. The tractor is built to run in 4WD in this configuration. Plus, I'm always running on dirt/gravel/snow, etc. and that would take care of any other possible situation. Hope this helps.

I just sold a 97 955 that I made forks, for they look like factory.I used all new iron and I spent about$200. I also made it quick-tach by cutting off the brackets that hold the bucket, so all the geometry stayed the same. I used 4" channel with 11/2angle iron welded underneath, then tapered the last 2 feet and used 3" square tubing for the uprights never a problem but I don't know if I wou;ld try it on a420-440 loader or not,the carriage was easy but I'll probably buy fork blanks this time then I know my 4400 won't have to much power for it. Any questions e-mail me.

Thanks Roger L. I plan on using my ohm meter to test the plugs after I pull the 12v line from them. The meter is sensitive enough that even if the bad one is shorted or has a badly distorted coil, I should be able to tell the difference by comparing to the other plugs.

Jim...The Curtis outfit is indeed slick. At present I will have $200.00 invested in the plow with power angle and perhaps another $100.00 or so for mounting. I am discovering that building things for your tractor is half the fun. I'll put the savings towards a new tiller!

Bob,
When I was shopping I had a Kubota/New Holland dealer tell me that it took
more force to depress the New Holland hydro pedal than the Kubota hydro pedal.
I ended up buying a TC18 from a different New Holland dealer and have not
experienced any foot or leg fatigue. I've spent several hours at a time doing
spreading/leveling of fill sand for the foundation of my pole barn this summer
never noticed any problems. I would buy this tractor again. JimBinMI

jason- your clutch isn't disengaging completely all at once. The clutch disk is too close and the previous post gave you some good advise. This business of "try" to fix is garbage. The linkage needs to be adjusted so there is more clearence at the clutch disk. You could wait for the clutch material to wear down and the clearence to increase, I wouldn't, if I'm doing close work with another human in front of the machine, forget front, I try not to let anyone in front of or behind the machine although, sometimes it is inevitable wherein someone has to work in front with the machine running, then I sure as heck wouldn't want the machine to "jump" or do anything that I wouldn't want it to do. Insist on a fix, not "try". bo
