The valve that controls the rock shaft lift may be stuck, clogged, or "Kapput". Have you checked with you local JD dealer and asked them for an opinion?

I am using the 60 degree nozzle the most. It is the least destructive but cleans well. Cleaned my 4410 with it, the trash cans, recycle bins, oil spots in the drive (made by the wife's Ford, the Cummins and Nissan are neat parkers) I plan to strip the loose paint from the house so I can paint. Also still need to clean the Sea Ray. Not going to be using it on windows, but I may experiment with low pressure. I agree, use the lowest pressure and widest angle nozzle possible and gradually work your way up. Real happy with mine so far.

Hi, Rambler. Thanks for getting back to me. The 501 is a Ford, correct? I haven't seen one, but I think it is probably a bit different from my NH 451.

I got mine hooked up and working. It was a devil to adjust, even with the help of an old manual. My TC33D must be a little lower and more "crowded" on the back end than the smaller farm tractors this mower would have been used with.

You refer to a clamp on the left 3pth arm. On my mower there is just the a pin to mount into the ball on the end of the 3pth, and there is a separate large inverted-U shaped "stabilizer" bracket that mounts to the tractor at the top-link point. It is impossible to describe how it works to raise or lower the mower blade, and even if I get around to sending a picture, that might not help too much.

I have seen some other mowers that have an extended arm that pries against the bottom of one or the other of the 3pth arms ahead of the pin in the ball to raise the blade. Does that sound like your 501?

I went by the Tractor Supply Company today and bought a Golden Rod pump filter. Tom, you were right, they are 10 micron, they also have a water blocking fuel filter but it is 15 micron. The bowl with the drain should catch any water that comes through. They also had filter fitting kits from Great Plains Industies along with pump and tanks of all descriptions. Thanks for the suggestions.

Mark, the lack of trade ability is not surprising. Most dealers today do not own their inventory, it is financed under what is called "floor plan financing" under which they only have to make payments, interest only, on the inventory they have on hand.

Thus, the bigger the inventory, the bigger the interest payment, the less money there is for buying trades. Notice I said 'buy' because that's exactly what they have to do. When a new unit covered by the floor plan is sold the dealer MUST payout the amount of principal ear-marked for that unit, PERIOD. The floor plan does not cover trades, so if a dealer wants to take one he has to cover the difference out of pocket in order to pay out the financing on the new unit.

Now, around here a lot of established dealers are quite happy to take trades because they often make far more profit on a used unit than a new one, especially if they can move them out quickly and don't have to carry them in inventory for long since there is not as much competition on used units and they can 'beat up' customers on trade prices by manipulating the numbers. You know, the old "I'll give you $5,000 extra for the trade by bumping your new unit by $5,000 too." trick.

Best of luck.

I see no reason why your 2210 will not run a post hole digger. If you can run one on a BX you should be able to do the same with a 2210.

Not that I would advocate defeating safety devices, BUT...

A landscaper friend of mine has a machine that has (had) a PTO brake system on it, at first he thought it was a REAL pain in the patooty, especially considereing how often the PTO starts and stops in a commercial day.

However after a VERY short time the system failed, when the dealer asked if he wanted it 'fixed' he replied, "Why would I, it finally works right!"

Best of luck.

If the tip dragging is an issue then just hold it up clear of the ground when not in use, we have to do this because of safety reg.'s, we're not allowed to let it swing in the breeze for fear it will hit somebody or something.

The soution is simple, just take a short length of chain with a hook on one end and swing the auger bit up towards the driveshaft and make a single pass around the auger bit, near the bottom end, and around the boom arm then latch the chain into a circle, the auger flighting will prevent the chain from slipping off and the weight of the bit keeps it in place.

Best of luck.

There is a very great difference in both the design and principle of by which they operate between a shredder & a chipper.

A chipper is a series of rotating knives fastened to either a drum-like arrangement, or a plate that spins. The knives are fixed to the rotating memeber adjoing a hole in said member, they are adjusted so that the knife can only take a set sized peice off the wood being fed through, kind of like a woodworkers plane. This controls the speed at which the machine can process wood down to a point which it can handle.

A shredder on the other hand is best described as a flail mower in a box, there is a rotating axle on which a series of moveable blades are attached. As the axle spins centrifugal force makes them stand out at their full length, material is then fed into this area and the knives repeatedly strike the material until it is small enough to pass a restricor device at the output opening. This design however allows for a much larger quantity of material to be put in at once, if it is material which is hard for the flail knives to process, like small twigs which are inserted parallel to the direction of rotation and therefore not hit very often, it is very easy indeed to overwhelm the machine. On the other hand, bulky material like leaves can be processed far faster with this type of design.

We find that the best way to clear material like this is to (if possible) time the work in such a way as to be cutting and chipping this material early in the spring, before it bears leaves, then it can all just put through the chipper since it is bare twigs only.

Best of luck.

I have the factory work light on my TC33D. You need the bracket for it also, I think both light and bracket were around $35.00. The light installed in under 10 minutes the 33D already has a plug for the light. It has its own switch (independent from headlights) and works great. If your tractor is prewired it sould be easy and cheap to use the factory light.

We sell four hundred plus small engines in those catagories you mentioned per year new. Brand names include Honda, Briggs, Kohler,Tecumseh and Kawasaki. I don't know that anyone of those engines are having more or less problems than the other. They are often bid for the model year or longer for a particuliar unit do to it's size, starting ability,durability and last but not least it's cost. There are ones better suited(my opinion) for one application than the other but they all can work. After all you cannot install a $800.00 engine in a tractor to sell for $999.95,or can you?

I have front and rear after-market 55W lights bought from my dealer. They have their own switches and are weatherproof. It's good to think through the need for lights because most lights come in three different beam widths. I don't think you'll find these features in auto accessory lights. I bought wide flood beams because I wanted light spread over a wide area mostly for engine tinkering, implement swapping and finding my way into the shed at night. I do have a narrower width light for driving but never mounted it. Two 55W lights is marginal in a 10A circuit and the third light would blow fuses. I did use heavy gauge wire so I do have the option of going to a 15-amp fuse but I'd probably never need to run three lights at the same time anyway. <br>

Mine are mounted on the bottom of a steel canopy near the front and rear edges. They are on swing mounts so they mostly fold under the canopy when not in use and I also can aim them where needed. I did nearly tear one off that I forgot to fold down so avoiding height above the ROPS bar may be good. I think brush guards are offered as options with some lights.<br>

No! I co-purchased a 30hp Kubota/FEL/Back Hoe with 2 neighbors, only the 3 of us use it and when asked we say we can't lend it because the other partners won't allow it. I also own a NH CT24D and will not lend it. Tractors cost to much and get abused by novices & neighbors.

Isn't the 4110 a little light in the 3pt lift capacity? IF I recall, only about 700lbs at 12" behind the 3pt? The NH and Kubota are both about 1200lbs capacity. If chuckles is pulling a large mower deck the 3pt capacity may become an issue with the 4110.
