John Deere 4400 PB kit

GREAT!

Yeah, The parts counter can't order "kits" or what they call "whole goods", you usually have to go through a salesperson for that stuff...
Let me know if I can help any more...

That's the same thing I had to do, go through sales for a "kit", "whole good", "upgrade" or whatever one wants to call it.

I have a 4310 and the only kit I can find on ebay right now is for the 4510 and up, no dice right?

Since the PB kit is still available for the 4200 - 4400 series tractor, I suggest you sit in your salesman's office and look over his shoulder while he hunts down the kit for you. And if he says its unavailable, get him to use the JD locator that checks other dealer's inventories for the kit. If another dealer has the kit, they can do a reciprocity swap.

The kit number you are looking for is LVB25085 KIT POWER BEYOND (REAR AUXILIARY HYDRAULIC)

Yeah, they are still available through JD, eBay might just end up costing more

Trying to figure out if the LVB25085 PB kit is compatible with a 2001 4400 HST (or if I have to use LVB25221)

Welcome to TBN. As I recall, the only difference in the kits was related to where the rockshaft filter is located.

I would have attached the PB kit instructions for the 4200 - 4400; but the file size is too big for TBN's paltry 1mb limit on PDF files.

Thank you for the welcome and info. I recently retrofitted the rockshaft line with the newer style "field serviceable" filter per this thread: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/...ating/11733-torn-rockshaft-filter-4300-a.html

I am thinking this means I should be able to use the newer style PB kit without any issue?

Made up 2 hoses for my 4300 for power beyond. Flat face o-ring on one end 1/2" iso on other end hook it to loader control valve where metal line comes out and crosses over to rockshaft valve. Take straight fitting out of rockshaft valve and replace it with 45 degree fitting hook new hose to this with male tip on end. Power beyond for 150.00,Works great. and made a pretty good job with a lot of cash left over

Scooby4420:

I gather the rockshaft retrofit you did moved the filter from under the seat to just above the PTO shield? My 2001 4200 had the filter above the PTO shield from the factory, so I would say the newer PB kit should be the ticket for you.

I just checked my records and I bought the PB kit LVB25221.
