    4310 throttle and 3 pt

    My 4 year old 4310 has 2 simple problems. The throttle and 3 pt slide and will not hold on their own. When new both stayed put after placement. Anyone know how hard and what is involved with tinkering. Any site of adjustment seems to be buried behind cowling, etc. Thanks.

    Bucket level indicator

    Anyone have any experience with this type of attachment? Plastic or metal drum? I have a JD 4310 with rear SCV. Does one hose attach to the dump cylinder or how does it actually work?
