I would expect that a winch will be too slow, and is super bulky. The motor that was used in the chute rotator in the kit I bought is the perfect speed and has no shortage of torque to rotate the chute. You'd have to come up with a spool that mounts to that shaft with the proper diameter hub...

Post a pic of your machine.

I also have a 4600, with the loader and backhoe. The loader can lift the front and the backhoe stabilizers will lift the rear. This makes it easy to run the drive train. So do you have just the bare tractor? I'm at about 3200 hours and the machine runs great. I keep it in 4wd full time...

When my equipment won't run and I can't figure it out, I come here for help!

Wow, I never noticed this before.

The browser on my laptop started to complain about the TBN website configuration and wont let me get here. Only on my phone now. Since then the site seems to have a dramatic reduction in posts. This once wonderful site seems to be dying off. Is this really happening?

Keep up the good work!

Other brands? I'm not necessarily religiously tied to JD, but for the sake of commonality with attachments, etc, I'll be staying with JD. And they do make good machines. Anyway, a good friend just bought a new 1025R. I checked it out and found that JD has upgraded the 3 pt so it follows...

I am not going to tear it down for a few burps and farts on start when its cold, when it runs perfectly otherwise. It is normal for a diesel to start up rough in the cold? Maybe I should change out the glow plugs anyway?

So grateful for this forum! I have 3 tractors: JD4600, JD332, and the newest (to me), the JD2210, all Yanmar diesels. The 4600 and 332 both start on the first compression stroke and never skip a beat. They start up like a clock. The 2210, on the other hand, with 380 hours, in the winter...

A couple years ago, I got rid of one of my JD332s and replaced it with a 2210. I'm loving this 2210 so much that now I want to get rid of the other 332 and get another, more capable machine. The 2210 is fantastic, but I'm thinking maybe one step larger than the 2210. My biggest complaint of...

Never heard of anything like this before. Don't worry about it. Just be glad that it was covered by warranty. I don't think the 1025R has brakes that are independent for each rear wheel, so not helpful for turning. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Keep us posted on your progress. And send pics of your new tractor!

@Hoss710 Thanks for correcting me on the bolt grades. Anyway, the metric bolts will have the grade marked on the head.

Now to address your questions more specifically. The bolts that hold the mounting plates to the rear end are standard metric bolts, grade 8, I think. It's a good idea to start with new bolts, as you suggested. The 48 backhoe is run off the power beyond at the rear end. You'll need that kit...
