Depending on if you have fluid filled tires they are a two bottom without even less the ballast. I would look for a 3 bottom in 16" width.

To me the hardest thing to connect on a belly mower is the drive shaft. Not that I don't have the arms that are the right length for someone 6'1" but I also weigh in at 250 and it is tough for me to connect the shaft if it isn't lubed right. One thing we have learned is to put plenty of a grease designed for driveshafts like this to not seize up and to make it so they slide on and off effortlessly. We often will play with them without the mower on until they are easily installed. There are times these shafts even felt they are locked but it is only due to the friction from the shaft being dry, don't be fooled, be safe and lube it up and don't be afraid to work it without the deck under the tractor as it is a lot easier to due then than after the deck is under the tractor.

Tom I don't remember the Alpines to have to much acceleration at least nothing like the Tigers, if my memeory is right they couldn't keep up with the TR-3's I had. I think Griffith's were in there with the Ford engine to as I remember sticking a 327 chevy in one of those back before I went into the service.

The reason guys, mfg's use the same pistons as the 3 to 4 cylinder counterpart is DOLLARS guys. WHY SHOULD A MFG make 2 different pistons between 3 and 4 cylinder engines? That's right he doesn't. Just because a small car companies like AUDI and Volvo make a 5 cylinder doesn't make them a good design. I stand by what I said. A 3 cylinder is far less expensive to manufacture than a 4 cylinder. Combined with the same piston size between 3 and 4 cylinder blocks and you have a very economical parts manufacturing process. IT's ALL ABOUT DOLLARS GUYS. FIgure out the dollars and cents equation and the rest is easy. Even numbered cylindered internal cumbustion engines manufacrured since 1940 out number odd numbered cylindered engines a billion to 1. How many people reading the posts on this site have an odd numbered cylinder car or truck? How many pieces of HEAVY diesel construction equipment have 3 and 5 cylinder diesel engines? What do farm tractors have? I rest my case.

Please help. I would like to know what a 7410 with a front end loader (97 or 98) model is worth. We've been told it has front wheel assist and is around a 105 horsepower tractor. Also around 1000 hours on tractor. Thanks!

I recently bought a 40 loader and found one in Winterset, IA., one in Geneseo, IL., one in Lake City, FL, and one in West Plaines, MO. Prices ranged from $2,500 to $2,900. Also found a KwikWay loader in Elizabeth, IL. for $1,000

I have a JD 40 loader on my JD455. It is rated for 350 lbs of lift. This is what JD says is a safe weight without using ballast. I use a weight box with it and would like to know if anyone knows any tricks to up the capacity at all. I was told that JD removes your original hyd relief valve iand nstalls a 350 lb pressure relief valve when you have them install the bucket. I put my original valve back but it made no difference. Any ideas ?

I think there's a site called machinerylinks.com or something like that. The site is a subscription members-only site, but I've heard that anybody can get a small number of values by going through some hoops. I haven’t heard comments about how useful the results are, and I always take care if any hoops start requiring personal information from me.

The trouble with bluebook type values for specific tractor models are that there aren't enough sold in a region to establish reliable market value. Values for some models vary widely in different regions.

Pulling a 3ph plow creates tension on the lower links and compression on the top link. Doesn't make any difference which one a sensor is on, but granted push may be a different principal than pull.

With due respect to John, if I read his simple definitions first I probably would have come to the same misconception I held for awhile--that draft control maintains constant depth for given sensitivity settings. I don't think it actually does that, but it's a good enough working definition--especially for people like me who don't plow and don't have draft control. I've said that before. I also might start looking for a float control. But, some explanations that work for some people don't work for others so who knows. It's probably a mix of explanations that helps everybody.

If I summarized somebody's comments and presented them as a model elsewhere I'd probably ask their permission to do so.

This is a little risky even if you are in a cage on a fork lift. I worked in a large plant and once a year we had to do inventory in acres of warehouse. Every employee was needed for about 2-3 days to complete.
The plant had built special cages to set on the fork trucks. Workmans compensation required that the cages be chained to the forks to prevent the fork operator dumping the cage. At a minimum this would be a good idea.
It might be cheaper to rent a picker though and safer depending on the height.

Jim, I also have a horse farm (wife runs it, I pay) with similar outside arena and JD4300 and once had too much sand. The best way to move the sand was with FEL. You said you thought it was too expensive, but my wife would be lost without hers. She uses it when cleaning stalls (just tosses manure in bucket, then can stack it really high), she uses it when stacking hay or moving hay to pasture, uses it to carry gravel to patch gravel road, uses it to move snow (we live in Iowa). The FEL is well worth the investment.

Regarding gray market tractors: I used to think the term meant tractors that were brought into a country outside the manufacturer/dealer network and lack warranty coverage and in some cases may not be eligible for dealer service. However, these tractors may be identical to those sold by dealers in a country.

I've also heard the term applied to tractors from manufacturers that don't maintain dealer networks in a country. More recently, I've heard the term meaning something like low-hour tractors that are retired from service in other countries, factory reconditioned and sold as new.

I suppose the term can mean any of these things but knowing about gray market tractors would be good for anybody looking for private sales of used tractors. I suspect checking a serial number with a dealer would identify a gray-market tractor.

In a private sale it's also good to see if the seller can find his bill of sale. A tractor that turns out to be stolen goes back to the original owner with no compensation to subsequent purchasers no matter how many times it's been sold in good faith.

Guess this is a long way from vibration, which would be a subject of interest to me but could get esoteric very quickly. The 'gray-market' subject may be more generally interesting.

Thanks Art. My posts on hydraulics tend to be too long and I would have gotten tripped up anyway. The standard manifold on my Ford is combined with a diverter valve and send/return auxiliary system ports. So, from the factory my mid-80’s Ford is ready to go.

I have a set of in-line valves rather than a joy-stick myself, but the hydraulics are the same. I also have a third control valve section for rear hydraulics. Assuming that the valve assembly is a power-beyond type, there are send and return ports on the manifold that attach to IN and PB ports respectively on the valve assembly. The loader cylinder hoses are attached (usually with quick connects) to the control valve ports. It doesn't really make any difference which hoses go on which side of a control valve as long as both sides of a cylinder go the same valve. Reverse them and the cylinder just works the other way.

There are a couple of things that may not be quite straight-forward. First is to distinguish between the PB and TANK ports. Both are on the outlet section of the valve assembly. The PB line goes back to the manifold while the TANK goes to the sump. Normally there is a plug somewhere on the cases that can be removed to attach the TANK line. The 3ph won't work if they're reversed. If the valve assembly is for a loader, then one control valve probably has a float feature. Unless the assembly also has a valve with a regenerative feature for fast dump, the valve with float probably is longer. The valve with float normally is used for the lift cylinder.

Still too long eh? Darn Tom was off at our camp for a week. I must have missed this because the 'messages as posted' screen now seems to only contain one page so I can't scroll down to where I left off and start again.
