I want to replace my extremely stiff extension cord that I connect to my JD 4200 hydro unit block heater. I need at least thirty feet so I guess that means I will need to purchase a fifty foot cord. My thinking is a 12 gauge wire should do it unless you folks tell me different. We are having a...

The unit is a 2003 Puma 64 inch. Chain size is 50 according to the owner's manual. I am the original owner. The idler sprocket is set at max and the chain is still floppy loose. Is it best to remove a set of links or install a new chain? If I shorten the existing chain can I reuse the master...

I know that living on this planet will eventually be the death of me but I would prefer it not read on my death certificate "death by diesel smoke fumes". I have a year 2000 JD 4200 stinkpot with home made cab. I love my tractor but need to do something about the fumes. My idea is to purchase a...

Hopefully I have been successful in uploading and attaching a few photos of my new tractor cab I recently built.

I have been looking at Weingartz Parts Lookup for the JD 420 Loader. I am trying to determine which seal rebuild kit to purchase. It is showing four hydraulic cylinders for each style of hydro cylinder. Four for the cylinder with the circlip and four for the cylinder without the circlip. Both...

Has anybody taken the time to compose a list of known issues for the 4xxx series tractors and their popular attachments? By known issues I am referring to parts that are commonly known to wear out or fail as our tractors get older. Obvious are tires, seat, loader hoses, fan belt. On my year 2000...
