Tom, the bearing failure you mentioned when someone you know welded on a tractor probably did not happen from the battery energy. When you do not clamp the ground for arc welding close to, or on the piece you are welding, the tractor becomes the conductor. In the case you mention, the engine was probably the conductor with arcing(welding) happening anywhere there are small spaces between where the ground is attached, and the welding is being done. People have completely fused entire engines and transmissions in this fashion. This can be avoided easily but is very expensive when it occurs. Wade

Sounds good, and I suppose I'll find out very soon that my Firestone turfs won't cut it in the snow.

I know my dad said he stopped having tire problems (3/4 ton) after going to
Michelin. But Lord god am I tired of the Michelin baby, and I haven't even seen
one TV commercial in the last 6 months. Buy my tires. Buy my tires. Goo Goo.
Give me a break.

Connect the tractor to a PTO driven implement such as a bushog. Block the clutch pedal down. Quickly engage the PTO with the engine running at a slow speed. Many times the clutch will brake loose as soon as the PTO gears engage.

Todd, I wonder if you got that loader? After studying the specs and measurements of the 670, 755, and 770 against the 60 and 70 series loaders I've got to agree with your dealer. There isn't enough difference to worry about. You will need to have the dual selective control valve no matter what loader you go with. It was an option on the 670. My own preference would be to go no larger than a 48" bucket.

It is a real tractor - not a garden tractor - although I believe that it is the smallest real tractor in the JD line. To know value, we would have to know more about it - which options that it has, which wheels and tires, implements, and such.

Thanks Jack in Il. You saved me a lot of typing. MLS, did you get a manual with your mower deck?? When I mentioned the lift arms digging in the dirt I was talking about when the mower deck is off and using a 3pt impliment in the fully lowered positon, such as a tiller. Sorry MLS but I may have to tell bo about this post. Just rattling your cage a little. For all I know maybe your deck is a floating type. My deck is the JD 60" belly deck.

I'm looking at a 1998 B21,loader/hoe. 207 hrs. Asking price is 19000.00. Anybody know what this I could expect to get this for? I can see that you've all done lots of shopping,so I'm hoping that someone will have info. I've also been looking at the NH TC29,but don't know how the loader and hoe frames would hold up commercially,they're not as integral to the tractor.Any thoughts there?<br>Thanks for the time!

You can buy a new style 48" mower that will go right on your 318, from your John Deere Dealer the MSRP on it is $920.00. Also you will have to use your old mule drive or buy a new one.

The easiest way to and a 4 in 1 bucket if you don't have 3 scv's on your tractor is to install a electrohydraulic add-on valve. What this does is and a push button on or around your DSCV control, and lets say you in install it on your bucket control circuit. When you just move the DSCV side to side it will control your bucket, put if you push the button and move the lever it would control the grappler. Your backhoe hydraulics are different on a John Deere they are Non-controlled in that your valves are on the backhoe attachment, all the power beyond kit is a hose that attaches to the hydraulic feed and a hose to return this feed.

I'm planning on mounting a snow plow blade in place of the bucket on my<br>430 loader on a 4300 tractor and was wondering if anyone has seen a Quik-<br>mount bracket or has fabricated something that will take advantage of the<br>easy on and off feature. I looked at the John Deere front mount blade and<br>thought it was a bit expensive ($1200.00) same with Curtis ($1400.00) and <br>since I already have a plow blade w/hydro turn I would like to use that<br>some how. Any ideas out there? snows coming!!

I had a 950 with the same symptoms. JD dealer checked out the starter, it was OK. I finally tracked it to a "+" battery cable that was worn where it passed through a hole in some sheet metal where there was no protective grommet. It was apparently a part-time short, because replacing the cable fixed the problem.

The blower is PTO driven and I have a ford 1320 tractor it turns the blower real good. I have spread about 4 bales with it and I believe it will do good. The guy I bought the blower from had it on a trailer but wanted too much for that so I have an old trailer that I will mount it on so I can stack about 20 bales on the back. The blower has a three point hitch but he has put a longer pto shaft so that it would reach the trailer. I will be working on this thing and try to have it mounted and working good for summer. My scaner isnt working now but maybe that will be fixed soon.

Hi All. MLS good job reporting the inside contact at JD. I still feel that this
forum is the place for JD to respond directly. It is a shame that a single post needs to be brought into a board room. That is the lamest thing, and just shows how far the executives are from there products and customers. As I said before, this is a major failing. Not only of there quality system, but also of there failure analysis system, and customer satisfaction levels on a new product line.

I would hope the board can link up while right in there meeting room and review most if not all of the trouble reports off this thread. After all, the quality system they claim to have in place calls for review and disposition of every last one. They can ignor it not for ever. If I were on that board, I would insist on reporting directly with the customers without the dealers as a middle man. How many dealers are qualified in trouble shooting design problems with stering geometries and the like. I would be very concerned with miss communications from this added layer of insulation in the reporting of problems.

Happy tractoring/ Happy holidays

Roger....I saw a section that they had cut. They used a torch. The tanks had been setting for some time with open ventilation. I'll have to ask if they flushed them with water before hand. It was indeed a cheap way to make a blade. I priced moldboards from a steel didtributor and you can pick up a 6 foot molboard 24 inches tall for $60.00. That would be money well spent without the risk of ingesting shrapnel!

Mike, try clicking in the upper right corner of the main board window where it says "BRANDS". This will give you a drop down list of choices. Hinomoto is one of those choices. Good luck, Larry.

Vince, I just checked out the site that Chris suggested. It is a great place to start for prices and the options that you may want and just not know about yet. I compared the price I paid for the 4100 with turf tires, 60" belly deck, HST trans, and DSCV and they were about $1200 higher than I paid. I think I earned the $1200 by way of the one on one, no holds barred dealing I had to do to get that price.

Today was the day! I pulled the wires from the glow plugs and checked them with the ohm meter (actually a DVOM). They really are not that hard to get at once you remove the side panel and the air filter assembly. All of the plugs checked out O.K. The nut holding the wire to the center plug was not very tight. I reinstalled everything. I let the tractor cool for 5 hours in 25 deg. F and it started with little effort and came up to speed within 5 seconds. It also quit the major league smoke within 5 seconds. I suspect the center glow plug wire was not making good connection. Now if I can just get some snow to play with.

It takes a special wrench, you can make out of an old 14 mm, to unlock the lock nuts on 3 through bolts on the outside perimeter of the drive clutch pressure plate. With the locknuts released, you can use a socket to adjust the 3 bolts in or out to make the clutch engage sooner or later. Then retighten the locknuts. You can see the bolts thru the inspection plate om the right side of the tractor.
The pressure plate will turn (if out of gear) to see all 3 bolts. You'll see what I mean about the special wrench when you look inside. Cheers, Mike
