I guess they caught the mistake on the web page as the picture has changed. For the PTO protector they had a picture of a heavy duty face shield and chest protector like those used in the bomb squad.
It was certainly worth a chuckle, I wonder if someone caught it for the joke.

Seems like I have tried a lot of things over the years, Quaker synthetic and semi, Castrol Syntech, Royal Purple and Mobil 1. This is the first that I could see measurable difference in performance in term of gas milage. I saw slight improvements before but not the 10%.
There are a number of factors that must account for the improvement and I am sure it must be engine specific, but the truck is still low miles and nothing was changed except the oil.
The Shell Rotella T is 12.40 a gallon at Wally World here, about double the regular Rotella.

I need to sell my J.D. 4300. It has only 160 hrs, 4wd,hydro, turf tires, 6ft. belly mower, grill guard and loader valve. This tractor is getting all transmission upgrades including entire hydro transmission and differential. This tractor is in showroom condition. This will make someone a very nice tractor for the money. I will sell this unit to the first $14,200.
I have a trusty J.D. 770 that I am going to keep.

Actually its a 425 not a 525. I got the owners manuals today. the mower deck is a md460. I stopped by my local Steiner dealer today and told him my story. He said he didn't think I could go wrong for the $700.00 He offered to help me in anyway including a good supply of used parts he has. I guess I am going to pick it up this Saturday. It wouldn't be the first restoration that I spent more then the item was worth. But hey working on its half the fun. Oh yeah I'd love to trade my last project for a Backhoe...a 1985 Corvette that I invested 16 grand in parts alone.

List price of a short block for that 855 through Deere is $2615.00. At this time, There are no exchange programs on that engine, so let's use that figure for now.

$2615 for the short block
500 for headwork and gaskets, and new nozzles
150 for fuel inj pump tune up.
40 for hyd. pump rebiuld
0 labor ( you work cheap!)
$3305 total parts est.

We haven't even talked about fluids yet, and incedentals.

That tractor, since it's 2wd probably would be worth $6500 tops with the FEL.

I'd say Peters suggestion was not far off base. Possibly on the high side.

Good luck!!!

Tom, the draft control system is merely an automated (mechanically or electrically) 3pth control lever, doing exactly the same as you moving that familiar little lever. It just happens internally, based on pressure, or the lack thereof on some portion of the 3pth linkage.

The most common (IMHO) of these is an internal, spring-centered valve inside the diff. housing, to which the moveable upper link mount connects. Increased 'pull' on this valve (more weight on the upper link) is taken as reduced load on the implement, such as the plow coming out of the ground, and it lets the 3pth lower. Conversely, increased 'push' on this valve (less weight on the upper link) is taken as an increased load on the implement, such as when the plow goes to deep, and it lifts the 3pth.

Hope that makes it a little clearer, and as always...

Best of luck.

The clumps you are talking about are probably because you have rye grass or tall fescue in your grass mix. These grasses root deeply which is their advantage (you'll notice it's probably all you have left) The better idea would be to aerate or use a verticutter (thatching machine) to rough the ground up seed with a rye blend or tall fescue blend.

I'm assuming you don't have an irrigation system so anything with blue grass would be a waste of money since it doesn't survive drought very well.

Use a starter fertilizer and then roll your seed with an infield pro or riding tractor (anything with knobby tires)
to press the seed in. Try to water if you can.

Hey Tom, I see what you mean. I wonder if all drive heads are similiar. The drive head on my 650 was a right angle drive. The flat piece of cable went into a gear that turned another gear that was 90 degrees to the first. The second gear had a small shaft that went into the block just below the water pump. It's possible that this small shaft could break off and fall in the engine, but the gear it was pressed on was too big to fit in the hole. Just my random thoughts and observations.<br>

Well I found the problem. I disconnected the second cylinder on the bucket and gave it a slight tug and the whole thing cam apart in my hand. The cylinder shaft was destroyed at the end and the aluminum plunger looked like a pretzel. So I've ordered a new cylinder. Thanks for the suggestions though.

This is an unsolicited testimonial.
They say that if a customer has a bad experience, he'll tell 10 people; if he has a good experience, he'll tell 1 person (or nobody). I always try to buck that trend.
I'm in the process of restoring a '47 Farmall A. Having no IH dealers nearby, I started searching the net for ones that will do business by mail. I noticed White's ad on this board, and e-mailed them. I received a reply e-mail the next morning; after calling Ken the parts guy, he faxed me a page from the parts book showing the assembly I'm working on (rear differential seals, in this case). This saved me from ordering the wrong parts, and, he had everything I needed in stock. I ordered on Monday, and got them UPS on Wednesday. Excellent!

I have purchased a used Mitsubishi D2350 FD 4X4 4 cylinder diesel compact tractor. I am looking for body parts for this tractor and am having a great deal of difficult in finding them. I need a front grille and the fenders are rusting out at the bolt attachments. Is there anywhere these parts can be found?

Similar to the consensus here, I suspect that the manuals give good practice, but poor practice isn't really all that bad. No matter what is written in a manual, somebody doing ground engaging work and is bogging down in a mire is going to hit the diff lock rather than come to a stop while trying to do 'good practice.' I sort of guess that diff locks actually are designed for such use because that's how they're going to be used.

One wheel spinning fast while the other is stopped does increase the stress on parts when the locking dog does engage--especially if one wheel has high traction or suddenly gains traction, so it is better to get the rpm down. I imagine that really aggressive 'good practice also would say to shift to a lower gear or slow the speed pedal, but that's a little much to ask when somebody is just trying to keep their tractor from digging into a mud hole.

Myself, I tend to use the foot throttle rather than the hand throttle. My foot has to come off the throttle to hit the diff lock, so the rmp automatically drops to my fast idle speed. Because most diesels don't loose much torque between pto and fast idle rpm's there really isn't much of a power loss, and I can build the rpm back up with the hand throttle if the diff lock is going to pull me out of the mire. Besides, if the wheels are spinning there's more power than can be used anyway.

So, the way I tend to operate a tractor comes pretty close to manual practice most times, but I really don't worry much about it the other times either. Far as I know Bill is right that one wheel has to spin a bit before a lock will engage. A lock won�t engage when the TX is in neutral, the clutch is in or when just driving in a straight line when both wheels have traction.

I feel that is a decent price on a used kioti, but when you can get into a new one for just a bit more and have a warranty, why would you? We offer fair deals at Group Farm Equipment. For example: LB1914, R4 tires front loader for $10,500.00 picked up. Add $4,500.00 for the Frame mounted backhoe. We have deals like this throughout the whole line of Kioti tractors and we offer delivery anywhere. Email us for a Quote!!

As it says I have a Honda 6522 Diesel Tractor. I am looking for the OEM backhoe for it...mainly because of the frame mount that comes with the hoe vs. the 3ph.

Honda discontinued stocking attachments a year ago.

Any one know of any particular Honda dealers that may have one left over.

I am also looking for other OEM attachments...such as snowblower and sweeper.
