Gotta go with the deep fry. Inject bird with a Italian dressing seasoned with some Franks hot sauce. UMMMM UMMMM GOOD!

Real beauty is 3.75 minutes per lb up to an 18 lb bird little over a hour cooking. Wife can visit with family I visit.

Use the oil 4-5 times store in corner of garage nice an cool corner dump in used oil barrel when done with it.

I did not see a note about fully thawed. There can be no frozen parts of bird going into 375* oil. It will be a problem.

Enjoy the holiday and family my friends.

As I recall there were several threads about this. I have a 4400 8/2002 if I remember. I bought it with turfs on it. Was back at JD after reading about it here and complained and they changed it no questions.

The tractor is now pushing 2000 hours rear tires like new yet and am on the 2nd set of steer new last year.

Neighbor has 4400 with old style axle does not use it on his lawn and it still working good and it does scuff.

Yes clutch can be adjusted. I do not have my manual up here. There is a specific set of steps to follow to adjust.

Mine has ove 1800 hours and it was adjusted early after break in and has not needed since. But I do not ride it.

You will need the manual to do it correctly.

JDGreen might weight in on this also. I'll try to remember to bring manual up tomorrow night when I come in.

Hate to ask a simple question. BUT is the clutch return spring there? Is it stiff enough to do the job?

Squires Istarted a new thread foryou.I think you did a good job searching the archives namesthere Ihaven'tseen foryears.<br>
<br>
I thinke you are looking for the air/fuel adjustment. Hopefully a smart guy on the Blue line will chime in. If not you need to get ahold of the injector pump parts break down to see where it is.<br>
<br>
I am making a few assumptions here. Soplease feel free to get in here with the facts.<br>
<br>
Air filter is clean? (VERY IMPORTANT to check this)<br>
Work on pump?<br>
How many hours?<br>

Black smoke is unburned fuel. Does it clear when it gets to rpm after started. When you work the engine mowing is there black smoke?<br>
<br>
If smoke clears and only a hint of black smoke when working the engine you are probably ok. We just need a little more info.

Thanks for the Update Murf. Glad to know you gotta buy gas for another season of mowing.

Only a couple of things better than fresh mowed grass.

Randy yes I replaced it. Much the same as you I had my doubts. But I figured $5 what to heck I try it.

Again I can't say enough good things about the guy with the info. It saved me a lot of money. There have been many other folks on here that have received advice that saved them money and headaches.

Anyways not one problem since.

Sounds more like resistance. Clean the terminals at batt and frame gnd and starter. Cleck the cables for corrosion in the cable lugs also.

Me thinks Ken right it's oil. Filters are: Hyd, Fuel, inner and outer air and oil. Don't forget to check suction screen.

I hear ya I'm in the window but no way do I see surviving on my 401, savings, SS and military with this scum bag in the white house and the really worthless garbage this state sent back to the senate. 2012 hopefully will clean out the rest of the vermin and get us back on the right track.<br>

I'll see what it looks like at 65-66. BUT I do have to say I get up every morning and look forward to going and play in the big sand box. Some days are not great fun but if it was easy anybody could do it.<br>

Enjoy the Consulting and stats.<br>

The lever may need some lub. However mine has always been a little sensitive. I would buy it buy the manuals and adjust the clutch linkage if needed then get a feel for the shifter. Or take it to dealer and have them go thru it doing adjustments etc.

BTW you are on a good site. JDGreen will weight in on most JD related tractor issues and he is pretty sharp.

Not sure why it would have a 300x that is a newer loader. Possiably did not buy one with the tractor and decided later they wanted one. My neighbor has a 420 on his twin to mine go figure.

I use a litte bur of ether now and then. Make sure you do not have glow plugs in the intake. Ignition there would not be good.

Never use a large amount or you will lock it up also it dries cylinder walls. WD40 is a better alternative.

Old more worn enginges may need help starting.

Nope engines do not become addicts.

Check your cables, clean gnd to frame, check starter connection to frame.

Corrosion in the cable lugs could also be suspect.

Good Luck

Started using a bettery tender after buying the "Blue Tractor" (HD Heritage) it maintains with out over charging. I have Batteries on shelf during non use and just switch every couple four weeks. Lawn mower has its own as does the HD. Next year I'm buying a 6volt one and a new battery for the M and that will always stay connected while in the shed.

WOW can't believe no one replied yet.

1st I'd look at the sheet metal is it all dented showing someone not to particular about tractor.
2nd Look at any areas that should be greased has it been. Not just fresh grease either.
3rd do they have maintenance records.
4th look at all fluids for contanimation
5th tires have they been abused spun cut
6th start how easy smoke? does it clear up. hours on meter.
7th clutch free travel? or is it hydro? does it shift smooth does it move smoothly no grabbing or jerking.

Good luck in your quest. Those tractors were made over a number of years. I saw none under $10,000

When ever I see something about mice or rats it reminds me of story Comedian Jerry Clower tells about ridding the old fallen down chicken coop of rats. Jerry tell it it funny but here go: He tell about pouring lots of gas and oil down a very large rat hole and throwing in a match. Out ran a hundred burning rats and they were headed for the filled hay barn.

You have to have Jerry tell it for full effect.

Just a thought. Have you checked the pickup screen? I think I recall the steering is the last thing to get oil. I'd take a look at the screen and or the filter also.

Frank on my 04 it was around 80k I drive about 35K a year. My wifes 04 now has about 35k on it they, I think, are starting to hum. I've got to check them on a longer drive other then her short brake burning trips to town.<br>
<br>
I know the sound and am confident hers are making noise. The bearings which are assembled in a hub are around $300 each. If I remember right.<br>
<br>
I never did a baseline of the good bearings but you have to go in from the back to get the hub. Check L & R to compare. I suspect you will hear they long b4 u check 4 heat. But the heat will help isolate the problem area.
