    Welding brackets on tractor frame

    If it has any kind of computer you should disconnect it, they don't fail often from welding but it happens sometimes. Disconnecting the battery doesn't do anything.

    4410 Fuel leak

    I'll take another look. I believe I can see all the fuel lines and filter from the bottom of the tank to the injectors. There is a blind spot behind that sheet metal that is hard to get to see what's above it. Perhaps I can take a look with a mirror before I start taking things apart. I was...

    4410 Fuel leak

    My 4410 is leaking fuel from above the fuel line where it goes through the sheet metal behind the fuel filter, see picture. From looking at my shop manual it doesn't look like there is anything up there that is a logical leak. The sending unit isn't leaking and none of the fuel lines are either...

    When I am digging dirt with a box blade that I want to move to another location I have a problem that I was hoping someone has a good solution to. When I have a box blade full of dirt and am at the end of the area where I want to remove dirt I'll raise the box and allow it to fall out. On the...

    Why arn't tooth bar available from the factory?

    How come tooth bars and/or toothed buckets arn't commonly available from tractor manufacturers? Perhaps they are more than I think, I don't know tractor's very well but toothed bucket certainly seem to be common on bobcats. I am probably speaking mainly about JD's, I seem to have a mild green...

    straightening a threaded rod

    I recently got a JD 4410 and it has one problem that the part is a little pricy, about $300 so I'd really like to be able to straighten this threaded rod that is part of the 3 pt. lift rod assembly. I tried heating it with rosebud and then screwing it into the casting but it seem to cool off...

    Low vis vs. Hygard

    My 4410's manual says the recommend low vis but then they have a temperature chart that says ony use low vis to 80 degrees F. and that seemingly Hy-gard should be used for higher temps and it is suppose to be good down to 0 degrees F. My dealer (parts man) says they put low-vis in everything...

    3-Point Hitch  4410 3pt

    I am looking at buying a 4410 vs a new model, does the 4410 does it have position control on the 3pt? This seems like an important feature for the grading I want to do. Do any of the other non-current model have position control? Thanks, John

    Loader  FEL and 4WD

    Why do people consider 4WD so important if you are going to have a FEL? I understand that with the bucket full you have a lot of weight on the front but a box blade and perhaps wheel weight etc. on the back it should be counterbalanced fairly well. The reason I am asking is that 2WD with...

    Price Check  755 with loader and box blade

    Has 350 hours on it, turf tires and looks in good shape. I think it is a Frontier blade and it is a 52 loader. Asking $6900. Is that resonable? ] Also, if it has 4WD (what I really want) how much more would you expect to pay? Thanks in advance.

    JD 955 missing rear pto shaft

    I think I am going to look at a 955 that doesn't have a rear pto shaft. From the picture it seems to be a well made cover over the opening. Any opinions on what is probably broken inside and maybe what it would cost to fix? Thanks for reading

    What tractor will do eveything I need well?

    Hi, I need some help deciding what tractors will fill my needs and what I particularly need to look for. I have couple of acres that is heavily wooded with some open areas. I really want to have a continuing landscaping project and think I deserve a tractor with a loader. On my property...
