    Rim/tire Size question

    It is a four wheel drive but the height is close to the same as what I currently have on the back.

    Rim/tire Size question

    As long as they work for $350 for the pair I’m ok with the lack of flexibility. I don’t use any plows or do any row crops and I rarely drive on the road. Mostly clearing overgrown brush and the wider tires will help distribute the weight better. If they are still available this weekend I’ll...

    Rim/tire Size question

    I noticed in the pics it looks like The centers were welded in, where as mine are just bolted.

    Rim/tire Size question

    No, I do not, I just want to replace the rim and tire with these as a unit on each side.

    Rim/tire Size question

    Good afternoon. I need to replace my rear tires. I found a used set for a good price, already on rims. I currently have 16.9-28 on a 15 inch rim. The ones I’m looking at are 18.4-26 on a 16 inch rim. Both are 8 lug. The height should work, and the extra width should not be a problem, but the ad...

    John deer 5210 power beyond backhoe questions

    Thank you. It's been a few years since I used it, but I only discovered this when I got stuck and the loader couldn't lift the tractor. That is a good point about the valve not centering though. I'll have to pay attention when I set it up again.

    2004 5320 temp guage reads hot tractor is cool

    Might want to start a new post. Or read this one. I have the same issue in my 5210. It reads halfway with the key on, completely cold, and runs up to the red when tractor is at operating temp. I replaced the gauge to no avail, which leads me to believe it is the instrument cluster. My fuel gauge...

    John deer 5210 power beyond backhoe questions

    Good afternoon and thanks in advance for reading and any help. I am going to be putting my backhoe (JD49 iirc) back on. The last time I had it on I got stuck and my loader (540) didn't have any power to lift the tractor. I had to put the back hoe in travel position and disconnect the hydraulics...

    MX-6 gearbox compatibility.

    Same. It's super frustrating. I am going to buy the JBar. Gotta put my truck back together first. I went ahead and took the gearbox off. I am going to buy an aftermarket output shaft and bevel gear and rebuild it and maybe sell it with the disclaimer or abuse the crap out of it and see how long...

    MX-6 gearbox compatibility.

    Unfortunately it's the distance from the bottom of the mounting flange to the end of the output shaft that is the main limitng factor. That is the main reason most of the shelf gearboxes won't work. At this point I'm thinking about just buying the Jbar premier 6 foot. Nothing comes close in...

    MX-6 gearbox compatibility.

    The gearbox did not include the hub and had an 18 spline output. Can't find any weld on hubs with that spline count so it's a no go.

    MX-6 gearbox compatibility.

    Thanks for the link. They have one that looks a lot like the MX6 gear box. Slightly higher gear ratio, and much heavier duty. Maybe it will work! Gotta find out how much weight will be. That might kill it.

    MX-6 gearbox compatibility.

    I believe I have answered my own question by comparing the part numbers for the gear kits on JDparts Web site. The housings are the same, but the output shaft and bevel gear kit part # are not. Not worth the hassle if it's not guaranteed to work.

    Another MX6 Brush Hog Failure

    I hate to revive this post. I was aware.of the problem. And hoped.I was immune. I was cutting overgrown dog fennel and ragweed. The pics is after I flipped it over in the dirt, other wise it all would have been clean metal. Broke below and above the c-clip groove. I'm looking for a solution...

    MX-6 gearbox compatibility.

    Thank you in advance for any help. This is probably a shot in the dark, but I hope someone knows the answer to this. My circa 2002 MX6 out put shaft sheared the same way the others have. I can't really complain (but I still want to) since I didn't buy it new and it's 22 years old, but I'd buy a...
