From yesterdays storm. setup is 300cx loader/ ballast box with extension with 1000lb of concrete/ turf tires no chains

I have a john deere 3520 and I want to install a guage inline with one of the ports on the loader and the quick connect ports on the tractor. I already have the guage. I would need an inline T with a male quick connect on both sides. Is there anywhere that sells the setup? What else would I...

ive noticed an issue since day one where you can hear what sounds like cavitation when operating any hydraulic implement. Seems to be an issue most machines where it only happens while the machine is in motion via ehydro pedals. Sometimes the loader will jerk while lifting or sometimes it wont...

I bought the machine off craigslist a year ago. Was pulling a trac vac while mowing and it was full. While I was pulling a hill, you could tell the teeth broke off one of the driveshafts. it banged and then wouldn't go anywhere while making an abnoxious grinding sound. First thing I did was put...

machine is a john deere 3520. I started a thread over a month ago about my loader dump cylinders leaking down 4 inches a minute. Dealer picked it up and rebuilt the dump cylinders. Got it back and seemed to not lock down. (loader had less than 5 hours on it. Well I recently noticed the cylinders...

need to order a custom pulley. Everything i find in the size i need list the bore size at 3/4 inch. My pulley doesn't seem to have a 3/4 bore size. Mine measures at 12/16. IS there something with pulleys where you just round up to 3/4 inch. I don't get it. I took a pic with tape measure. see below.

I was able to get this on video because these bolts were landing every 5 seconds this morning right behind me in the woods. I didn't get any more footage because the dealer was just pulling up with my tractor delivery but let me tell you it rained so **** hard right after this video, it dropped...

Eh. just figured I would share a couple of pics. I have the 73 inch heavy duty materials bucket so I ordered a 73 inch toothbar from john deere. It was actually cheaper than aftermarket toothbars after 10 percent discount. Cost me like 480 bucks. only downfall is I have to remove my replaceable...

I have a 20 year old 4 cycle 1 cylinder Yamaha golf cart. Compression should be 150-175psi. My compression reads 100 psi at full throttle. Putting engine oil in the spark plug hole raises compression to 150. Thinking bad cylinder wall or piston rings. Is it possible that carbon buildup on the...

Bought it a couple months ago and just got around to using it. its a little light to power itself through the heavy stuff but with some sand bags on the back of the golf cart towing it, it can clear some heavy brush. Already cleared about an acre with it. Spindles are holding up great. Sorry you...

thought I would make a video tonight while I was mowing to show the quietness of it. I had a nice thermos of vodka with me as well. nothing better than mowing at night while getting intoxicated. ill inspect in the morning and correct any missed pasture.

brand New loader. Im aware that these units leak down a little, however, im unaware of the rate. I had about 400-500 pounds suspended in the air with chains on my bucket while doing some welding today . I had to go back to the machine and start it up every 5 minutes to recurl the bucket because...

So I figured I would take up slack on the sloppy joystick tonight. I found that there is nothing to be done. Its almost like the cables or a 2 stage design internally as you can see in the video. There is about 1/2 inch movement below the joystick and very tight at the other end by the valve...

Is there a recommended amount of play? I can literally set the stabilzers where they are so tight and there is no movement at all. I like that setup. Then I have implements were it can be set were there is a little bit of sway back and forth. (a little bit). Is it bad to have no sway at all and...

bought a cat 1 harbor freight quick hitch today. What size adpaters do I need for lower pins for my implements. I read conflicting statements. Is it cat1 to cat 2 adpaters or is it cat 1 to cat 3? they look to be cat 3 size hooks but who knows
