Hey All, Have a question about driveline protection; specifically for a JD 3520 HST, when using the "Jinma knock-off" wood chipper... I used an old shaft and slip clutch from the logging winch to hook up to the PTO, but in reviewing the manual that came with the shaft they provided it looks as...

Hey All, Finally looks like I'll be getting a chance to branch out & do some work for others with the box, tiller, & bushhog... word of mouth will do it's part certainly. Where did folks find their advertising dollars were best spent? Based on my primary job, it seems like the...

Hi All, Just wanted to share on my last 10 gallons through the 3520 I have been using 1 oz Wallyworld 2 cycle, and 0.5 oz. white power service per gallon in with the off-road... I had been doing a lot of research based on the truck I bought over the summer, and figured I'd try the mix in the...

Didn't know where was best to post this, but figured since I was working on the 300CX, this would do... Another poster had mentioned how difficult their 300CX was to take off of their machine... I found the same (although I had torqued down the cap screws pretty firmly), but was not...

Well I've got the truck bug again... My 1995 F150 (82k miles) has been great, but at 15-16 mpg unloaded with a maximum tow rating of 7100 pounds (getting 9 mpg if I'm lucky), it pulls, but struggles with a heavy 20 ft trailer, the 3520, loader, and attachment on the back... it's immaculate, my...

Hi All, Finally got my password reset--lurking days are over 'til I get kicked out again... lo and behold 2 of my favorite sections: "attachments" and "oil & lubricants" seem to have disappeared, so apologies for posting the general question on the JD board... So, it's time to get the fluids...

Hi All, Picked up a Eurocardan clutch from Agri-Supply this week (very dignified name for a slip clutch, I must say...:p) which typically goes on the implement end of the PTO shaft... Reason being I have had the previous tractor up on it's hindquarters using the winch, also have engaged the...

That's the question... I have a 3320 HST currently in the shop with leaking front wheel seals, and a leaking rear main seal (for the 2nd time!).:mad: It's the only 3x20 they've seen the leaking rear main on, and the only CUT they've ever seen twice for it. We are waiting for JD engineering to...

Looks like I'll be without the tractor for a while... 2 weeks ago I was doing some PM to the 3320, changing engine oil while waiting on other filters to come in... no problems anywhere... front axle level perfect, engine oil level perfect, hydraulic, etc, etc... everything solid as a rock...

Well the first big project is getting towards completion! I was removing some stumps behind the house last fall, so I might turn the area into a yards for my boy to play in. I had a little stream that ran back there. Ran pretty good when it rained... actually just about made the road to the...

Hi All, Spent a good chunk of Easter Sunday cleaning up the parking lot at work with a (?) 55 inch "Sweepster" rear mount rotary broom (?)... aside from a kink in my neck, it did a pretty good job... Borrowed it from a friend who got a front mount on a little Kubota unit he uses for the jobs...

Hi all, Just purchased a new Tajfun 40A 2 to work the woods... Thank You to everyone for your advice! I'm entirely green to logging winches--I can see the chokers are designed to catch 3/8 chain... as is the hook at the end... what is the process exactly for hooking around logs so you can...

Hi All, I've been doing a bit of online comparison of Farmi, Fransgard, Tajfun, and Wallenstein logging winches, and am finding it to be exceedingly difficult--like tractors, every model is "the best" in it's arena... Since everyone checks up on what they bought (and the ones they didn't!) I...

Hi All, Actually had an opportunity to do some snow removal last week, which reminded me of something that seemed a bit odd to me about the 3320 I have... When the motor is at operating temperature, and the hydraulic fluid is still cold/thick (just starting to work) , there seems to be...

Well I was sitting down to have a smoke last weekend, looking at the tractor, when I noticed a funny drip... About 6 seconds later, another... so I crawled under & looked around and there was oil throughout the front clutch (center piece of traCTOR TO REAR OF OILPAN/ENGINE BACK) housing per the...
