Have you ever noticed how they can put things away so they are not able to be found. I have accused her of hiding things from me, which draws the usual response, "if you put it away yourself"

I have a 1999 JD 4400. The plastic panels just above the instrument panels broke at the attachment points near where the hood pivots. This is a BIG negative since the attachment points are little tabs with holes in them. I don't see any method of doing a field repair.
No, I don't have any idea of when or how they broke. I just noticed a gap between the panels one day and saw the broken tabs.

When did JD start using composite body panels

I have a JD-4400 with R3 tires. The operator's manual gives the UNLOADED Tire Pressure as 12 psi and LOADED Tire Pressure as 30 psi. What do the terms LOADED and UNLOADED mean in this context? I seen "Loaded" used in reference to tires with fluid in them and "Loaded" used in reference to the gross weight of the tractor and attached implements.

I keep mine suspended from the trusses at the back of my shed. I use the adjustable nylon straps with hooks on the ends that you can buy at CT, K-Mart, wal-mart etc. Two straps on the transfer case suspend the auger from two sides while I disconnect everything. Once I have it off the tractor I use another strap to move the boom up and out of the way. This method minimizes the amount of space needed for storage, keeps it inside and makes for a simple hook up when I want to use it.

I think the most important thing you can do to a lubrication system is to frequently change the fluid. I use either Shell rotella, or Dreyden(Now Castrol) Dieselall. I try to cut the change interval in half of what the manf recommends, depending on the type of use I've been doing. I also make sure to pour some oil into the filter at time of change to prevent the time that the oil pump is filling the filter, rather than pushing it to the bearing. I figure the added cost of the extra changes is well worth the down time of engine work. A week or two of no tractor can add up to serious lost revenue if you had work scheduled!!

Here is my $.02 on the filters. I think your OK to switch, but you MUST do your homework. Just 'cause it spins on, and fluid doesn't come shooting out, doesn't make it the right filter. Many times, you can EXCEED the manufacturers specs, and get a cheaper filter at the same time...Look at the size of filtration, the flow rate, check valve construction, and rating.

I've been given a fram filter wheni asked the dealer for a filter.

BTW- I used to be a diehard Fram user, but anymore I think their check values are a weak link

Jim: I have a JD 850 with a bush hog after market loader. No power steering. While steering ease is not the same as on my Boomer 21TD, it is not real bad. I use the loader for loading manure, some dirt moving etc. but generally not for more than an hour or two at a time. I wouldn' want to work it 8 hours/day regularly but for intermittent work it's not a problem (IMHO). If you drive it on hard surfaces for any distance on a regular basis you will get additional wear on your front tires because of the weight of the loader. I elected to not spend the extra $1K for the power steering that I would have needed if I got the JD loader (Bushhog was about $3k installed, JD was about $5K including the PS). I have not regretted it.

PS. I just got a Kelley 650 backhoe for the JD this year... A nice little machine you may want to consider after the loader is paid for.

I own an '87 850 mfwd. Excellent tractor. Gear Drive. 4 fw speed 1 reverse. Hi/lo range on transmission. I have a bush hog loader operating on the tractor hydraulics and it works fine. Also have a Kelley 650 backhoe (Kelleys smallest) with a PTO hydraulic pump. The tractor handles it with no problem. HP is in the 20-24 range.<br>I use it for just about all tasks around our small horse farm and it does just fine.

I have already replaced the external filter without any change in symptoms. Where is the internal filter located? It sounds like it sure could be it.....PETE

Speaking of short blocks, since you can put your finger on a Yanmar, can you also find one for a Ford 1910, and if so would the cost be in the same price rrange? The local New Holland dealer told me $1,500.

There were some messages posted regarding PTO chippers and Ford 1710's in April but they seem to be missing or will not come up on my screen for some reason. If anyone can reconstruct what they were about I would appreciate it. If not, any helpful suggestions or reccommendations would be great. <br>Thanks.
