    I think I threw a rod on my 2010 John Deere 2305 with about 906 hours. Any source for a replacement engine? It is a Yanmar Three cylinder diesel.

    Oil & Fuel  John Deere 2305 stops running after about 45 minutes of mowing

    Been having a problem with my John Deere 2305. Seems to be quitting due to fuel starvation after about 45 minutes of mowing. I can let it sit for about 10 minutes and get it to restart after cycling the start sequence about three times. When it restarts, it then runs for quite a while before...

    John Deere STX Starting Problems Solved

    My STX 38 would not start without priming the carburetor if it had not run in a while. Also, the engine would not rotate when the key was placed in the start position. It had been an intermittent problem that became a solid failure when I uncovered it from it's winter nap a few day ago. My...

    My O2 John Deere Gator CX 4X2 is in need of replacement seats. The yellow foam inserts have separated from the black plastic backing. I have not been confident that the after market seats will work as a replacement since this seat version tilts on a pivot and does not have a bolt pattern...

    3-Point Hitch  2305 Pulling Posts and Homebrew Spinning Jenny

    We just replaced the front pasture fences and had to do it in record time to meet the installers scheduled arrival. The IMatch is a great tool to use in pulling the posts and allows you to rock the post while applying pressure to the three point hitch lever. The post walks right out most of the...

    STX 38 Only Starts when carb is primed...brakes ineffective.

    Hi, This little workhorse starts fine when priming the carb and will restart well during the same day. It the mower sits for a day or two, the only way to get it to start is to prime the carb. When first running it does not idle well and surges up and down. After warm up or under mowing...

    Dealer  Ordered a new Horst Pallet Fork for CX 200

    Thanks to the good input on these forums, I was able to decide on a Horst LD 3542 JD440 for my CX 200 Loader. The sales rep at one of my local John Deere dealers informed me that there were no accessories made for the CX 200. He was the same rep who tried to put me into a much bigger tractor...

    Hi, I have been away from TBN for a while. As a result of the good and very helpful advice from this forum, I was able to decide between the John Deere 2305 and the Kubota BX 23. They were very close in comparison. I selected the John Deere 2305 and added the Quick disconnect FEL, 60" belly...
