Eric your request is unusual as every engine does have a unique sound to it. The only thing is what is sharp? What you should do is ask to have the tractor dynoed. Injectors will give you the difference in engine noise that I believe you are refering to. There are other things that might also enter into this sound difference valve settings or timing of the injection pump and more.

Any pressure build up on either side of a quick disconnect hydraulic fitting will make it almost impossible to reconnect. Sometimes cracking the quick disconnect loose from a hose is the only way. When the loader is detached, shut the tractor off and move the loader controls for lift and bucket in all directions to relieve pressure on all lines before disconnection. This will remove pressure on the loader side of the fittings. Make sure the loader is firmly parked and will not move once it is disconnected. If it moves after disconnection considerable pressure can be built up in the lines making them difficult to connect. The suggestions about cycling the loader control on the tractor prior to reconnection is a very good idea also.

Dionne,

If you have a good New Holland dealer near you, I recommend you go look at the TC18, 18.5 hp compact diesel tractor. I have owned one for about a year and it is awesome! The BX is a SUB-compact! You should be able to get the TC for less dollars than a larger B series Kubota and the quality is there in both units.

Just do yourself a favor and go look, heck, shopping is half the fun! Drive everything you can and get demos at your property if available. There are several good tractors on the market and you should look at all of them.

A comment on the use of a nut splitter: I'm not sure you know for certain that the stud threads are messed up. Who knows, the stud might be OK. I'd probably replace the stud on principal, because the threads probably are weakened. Other people may be inclined to salvage it if possible.

If you cut too deep with a nut cutter, the stud will certainly be lost. The way I've used them is to cut deep into the nut, but not into the threads. Bang on one side of the cut with a cold chisel to spread the nut. The remaining metal on the inside of the nut just breaks. If the nut turns, it can be held in place with a vise-grip or wedging it. If that's not enough, another cut can be made on the opposite side of the nut, and usually the nut just bends open and falls off. A thread chaser can clean up the stud threads.

Whether the stud is replaced or not, it's still not a bad way to use a nut cutter. Of course, nut cutters are best when there's a lot of open space around them. There could be problems getting one clamped on against the tire rim.

From the research I've done, I've heard nothing but good about the JD4100, Kubota B-series, and the New Holland TC-18 or TC-21. I've looked them all over and decided I could be happy with any of these. Make sure when you look at brands and costs that you compare similar features. It's easy to think you're getting a smoking deal on one unit, only to find out that its lacking some nice features or does not overall compare to the other brand you're pricing. Myself, I have a JD4100 and do pretty much what you're talking about plus snow plowing. The 4100 does not have a problem with lawn scuffing like the larger 4000 series models apparently do. I'm very happy with mine, just wish I had another pocket full of money to buy more implements to play with (Oops, I mean work with). This unit is more than adequate size and power-wise for most any small acreage landowner. One note- if you plan to do much loader work-in this area I think that the JD 4000 series is ahead of the competition -check out the hydraulic pump flow capacity and you will see what I'm talking about.

The air filter is good, the fuel filter should be replaced, and the injectors and fuel pump were supposed to be done at rebuild(1996). I will follow up on these sugestions. Thank you DC Smith

Randy, I thought I had heard of it happening somewhere else, it was just the cure I missed. I will write NH regarding problem. The zone rep. was no help as always. It has been one thing after another gone wrong on this tractor. I'll just add this to the list.

Recheck the deck belt. I bet there is a thin spot where the drive pulley wore the belt away while the blade was jammed.

Last year I had a similar problem. Only I caught a small stump between the center blade and the sheet metal guide around the blade. The stump bent the sheet metal, and caused the tip of the blade to hit it. At low speeds you could hear the clicking, but at full rpm, it wasn't noticable at all. Sooo, my advise would be to turn the deck over and see if your blade tip path is not hitting that metal.

Roger, As I was pricing 1070's last week, I spoke to a dealer about a 990 he had on the lot, since it seems to be the same tractor. He said that the 990 only comes in basic collar shift as it is the new "economy" tractor. He stated that it's not syncronized and that you would have to come to a complete stop for any shift. Which, In my book, put it's trans. in a catagory below the 1070 where the gears are in sync in any given range. If this is not right please correct me. Funny thing, I had to mention the 990 even though it was right in front of him. All he wanted to talk about was the 4500/4600. And he didn't try to hard to sell me those either. Must have been my 14 year old truck!

Bud, Thanks for that info. I ended up chooseing the 1070 without the power beyond option bcause it had more hrs. I know that you would run a backhoe or anything that needed flow but had control valves with the power beyond. My immediate need is a connection for a tilt cyl. mounted on my york rake/grader combo. I want to leave my loader connected so I need another open line and valve. I figured the easiest and cheapest and most flexible way might be with a "power beyond" attachment and then to purchase a control valve from surplus center or North Hyd. catalog. This is all new to me so maybe there's an easier, even cheaper way.

IMHO, service after the sale is EVERYTHING! I will (and have) paid a couple of hundred dollars more on a large purchase to go with a dealer I know will be there when I need him/her. Good parts inventory, competent mechanics, desire to see that the customer is satisfied are qualities that I look for in a dealer. The willingness to go the extra mile is a lot more important to me than saving a few bucks on the purchase price.

Eric. Search over to Tractorbynet , they have a section devoted to JD. and might be able to answer your question. You're right about the 2120, their greater length and that 6 ft. bucket make them somewhat clumsy in the woods. Good tractor though, especially with the hydraulic shuttle shift.

I have a Befco BM6-900 6" self feed 3 pt PTO chipper/shredder that I bought used this spring. It had very little use & other than the faded paint from setting outside it looks like new. I had been using a 8 hp Troy Bilt chipper/shredder & there is no comparison. I was able to chip more brush with the pto chipper in one afternoon than I did in several days with the Troy Bilt. As far as renting a chipper, all the rental stores in this area only have self powered chippers the size of my Troy Bilt & when you rent you have to schedule your work around the rental store. As for making sure something is cost effective, if this was a requirement than very few of us would own our compact tractors. Chris
