    Tires New R4's

    I ended up going with windshield washer fluid. I got two 55 gallon drums from O'Rielly's for around $250. Since I already had the pump and valve fitting, I figured what the heck. Took about 2 1/2 hours to do both tires. Only real question is how much air to put back in tires. My operators manual...

    What did you buy this week?

    Nice truck. I agree with the filters. Buy OEM or from Cummins. Skip the amazon stuff no matter how cheap it is. I have 242,000 trouble free miles on my 2015 Ram Cummins. I would not give it up for anything.

    Tires New R4's

    I have a pump and the adapter valve to fill mine also. I need the traction. My place is not flat either. Right now, i'm leaning toward the WWS because of price. I don't think the animals would drink it if I happen to get a puncture. I'd rather use RimGuard for that reason. I herd that Rural...

    Tires New R4's

    No sure why. Cost maybe? I'm looking at rimguard or windshield washer fluid. Just starting checking pricing on rimguard. My JD dealer doesn't do it. They send you to Best One tire. The quoted price for RimGuard is $4.75 a gallon. That's if I bring tractor to them. More if they come to my house...

    looking at used JD 3720 or 5045E tractor

    The 447 hoe has been flawless. I've dug septic tanks, water lines, power cables and a lot of tree stumps. No failures. Only once did I wish it had a more power when I was ripping on a large tree stump. I eventually got it out.

    looking at used JD 3720 or 5045E tractor

    I've had my 3320 since 2008 with zero problems. Also have the 447 backhoe for it. As posted earlier, they are lite in the rear end. So weigh them down.

    4720 Front end Loader

    The 400x and 400cx loaders came on the 4000Twenty series tractors from JD. When they switched to the R series, H180NSL (non self leveling) and H180MSL (self leveling) were the loader numbers. Same loaders, which will also fit your 4720, just different number markings. As for the Brush Hog...

    Tires New R4's

    Yes. They're the larger R4's. These are the 43-16 x 20 rears. I had the 15-19.5's before. I had one rear rim with some Calcium rust that was getting kinda bad. New rim from Deere was around $500. So, I started looking for replacements when I came across this complete set from Akrs JD in Seward...

    Tires  New R4's

    Installed my new R4 take offs today. I found this complete set on Machinefinder a couple weeks ago. Brand new with rims. They still have the rubber tips on them. Upgraded from the 19-5 R4's.

    2000 445, mystery spring?

    Goes on the front wheel of the mower deck. It helps keep it aligned when mowing.

    3Series wheel spacers

    Nice machine. Guess I don't have to worry about weight capabilities of spacers. You having them on a tractor that size. Richard from Bro-Tek said their working on a cover or plug for the center. I was just worried about mud and water sitting in there. That was the reason I was looking for solid...
