John Deere 4300- I have this fluid leak in my left front tire area and was wondering what and where the fluid is coming from and how I can repair it. I am just guessing it is a seal gone bad in the front axle. Any thoughts will be appreciated. Posting a few photos to highlight the problem,

Is gear transmission oil change the same thing as hydraulic oil change?

The front axle fluid on my JD 4300 is a bit low. I was going to add some JD 20C BUT last time I changed front axle fluid I used 20D. Can the 2 be mixed together?

I have searched and searched to NO AVAIL for a parts diagram for my JD 430 loader. I needed the pin that holds the bucket to the loader arm and was unable to find a diagram. Finally went to the dealer and it took three (3) count em 3 people to finally locate the parts diagram at the Dealer. They...

My 4300 JD "coughs" every 45 seconds or so. I am operating moving logs in the woods and have fel and 1000lb weight box on. Its almost like a sneeze where the engine and hydraulic systems seem to hesitate for a moment. It is most evident when I power down to idle speed. Normal operation? I don't...

The yellow seat on my 4300 has begun to separate from the black support base and I was wondering if anyone out there can give me an idea on a good way to fix this problem.

Was looking for a way to carry my saw with me around the property. Came up with this idea having seen someone make a scabbard for their saw from scrap wood. Then I anchored it in the arm for the FEL.

I purchased a Frontier RB 1172 for my 4300 JD. With the 3 point hitch in highest position I have about 6 1/2 inches of clearance between the blade bottom and the ground. I played with the adjustments to raise the blade as high as possible. I have a quick hitch attachment on the tractor. How's...

I own a 4300 JD hydro and was doing a 10 and 50 Hour service when I came across the instruction to "lubricate the selective control valve (if applicable)" under the 10 hour listing in the manual. The 50 hour instruction just said "lubricate the selective control valve". I could not figure out...

Apparently JD is recalling 5400 3203 Models because the forward-drive pedals can become stuck. These tractors were sold between September 2005 and December 2007. Seven failure incidents have been reported but NO injuries. For details call (800) 537-8233 or www.johndeere.com

I see it time and time again in the Towing Forum (Toyota Tundra Forum) but no one ever explains why to use the Prodigy Brake Controller. It seems high priced at $125 even though I have seen it as low as $93 plus shipping? Your thoughts greatly appreciated. 2nd Question: What color is the back...

I just bought an 04 Access Cab Tundra that I thought would tow 7200# as long as it had the Factory Tow Package. NOT I learned the following: GCWR (11,800# as set out in the manual is Gross Combined Weight Rating). GCWR is the TOTAL WEIGHT of TRUCK and TRAILER FULLY LOADED. Toyota advertises...

Can anybody help me determine the correct Oil Filter for an L120 Deere mowe? Thanks much.

I just received notice from John Deere that the ROPS on the 4200, 4300, 4400, 4500, 4600 and 4700 are being recalled for replacement "ONLY" if you have a canopy or sunshade assembly attached to it because it may fail on rollover. Apparently the extra weight may cause unseen fractures in the...

This weekend my trusty 4300 would not start for the ist time. Heard loud clicking sound from right side of motor when facing the tractor. Got my meter and found 13.5 volts w/tractor off and 14.4 with tractor running after I jumped it. Next I thought "thermister" I have been reading so much...

I have been reading the posts about hydraulic top links and am considering adding one to my 4300 JD. Besides the link itself what else will I need to complete the job and how to I go about installing it. I have a FEL and I am guessing that I have to come off the hydraulics on the front of the...

I was too late to download the 4300 manual while it was on-line from Deere. Anyone have a copy I can download. Thanks, Stuart.

I own a 4300 JD hydro and was reading that the 4010 20 30 etc manuals apparently call for a hydro fluid/filter change at 50 hours. I began to look at my owners manual thinking it called for a 200 hour hydo fluid/filter change but in fact it calls for the maintenance to be done at 500 hours...

Just purchased new JD 120L lawnmower. Now I do not expect it to run like a "Bat Outta Hell" but it seems a bit on the slow side at regular running speed. The cruise control lever when activated slows the machine down from the top speed a little bit more and cutting seems slow at that speed...

Yesterday I was advised it is better to get a Kohler engine in a lawn tractor than a Briggs and Stratton engine. Specifically I was looking at John Deere L 120 which has a 20 hp Briggs engine. Salesman said buy a Kohler engine in the L110 (17.5 hp) or the L130 (23hp) . Would appreciate any...

I am having a problem with the cruise control on my 4300 JD. I was wondering if any of the other JD owners in the series are or were having problems. Tractor has hydrostatic transmission and 25 hours on it. The cruise control switch on the dash activates (lights up as well) a magnet underneath...

I have a JD 4300 hydro w/bushhog. I love it. My first one. I love it. I mow about 3.5 acres of grass have been using 42" cut MTD until now. I use the tractor to put my boat in and out of the water because it has been tearing up my van transmission over the years. I was wondering about whether I...
