Can't figure out how to add an ad to the classified section so I will do it here. For Sale..... Took off the JD brand front and rear lights off my cab 3720 and converted to LED. No need for these anymore. Come with clipped off plugs but enough wire left to splice to your own harness. Also will...

I picked this mower up back in 08 or so and for some reason I have done nothing with it. Good thing it was free!!! I am having a real hard time locating a manual or even any info on this. The serial # plate is too beat up to get any info off it either. Brillion Mow-Sale 61" All bearings spin...

After nearly punching out a headlight and dropping chunks of snow on the hood I decided it was time to fix the bucket. After looking around here I found some great pics and info from 4shorts thread http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/customization/130266-bucket-mod.html Thanks 4shorts...

Handy little info here to save ya some $$.... Couple days ago I snapped the chute control cable on my blower. Still not sure what happened. Might have been a rock or ice chunk in between the blower and the chute. Anyhow.... I ordered a new cable, (part #M84556), from Deere. $27.28. Got it...

Should have taken better pics but this is too simple to do. I had an old boat seat with a swivel base just sitting around so...... got to thinking how to adapt it to the JD seat. First up was pull the seat out (4 bolts and the safety switch wire), unbolt the slide rails from the bottom of the...

My 3720 reverse pedal started to stick and catch kinda. Has a squeeky sound with it too. Still works but requires a touch more pressure to move it. Forward pedal is fine:confused: Thawed the tractor out COMPLETELY last nite in the shop thinking maybe ice had built up somewhere on it, no luck...

Finally got a couple mods done that I wanted since last spring when I got this blower. 1st was some extension wings to increase the width and hopefully speed up the process. Started with 1/8" sheet metal, had my local shop bend it for me to create 3.5" more width per side. Cleaned up, painted...

For winter use I wanted to use the bb to pull snow away from the front of my garage door then use snowblower to huck it away. Well with the blade there was a chance the 1/4" side plates and the aggressive scraper blade would/could cause damage to the concrete and blacktop driveway, I built some...

Picked this up yesterday off CL for $325. 98% clean and strait. Need to straiten out a couple areas and maybe re-paint it. Not too bad in my book. Seller had bought it new in 83' I believe he said. Now if anyone could give me info on what style and length of shanks I need for it that would be...

A while back I asked about using a hyd ram to raise and lower the 7' bar on my mower, and well that turned out to be not a good idea. Thanks guys!!! My dad came up with a GENIUS idea to use a winch. So I picked up a wireless controlled Harbor Freight winch and welded the mounting plate to a...

This thread got me thinking...http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/john-deere-owning-operating/173601-make-shift-box-blade.html Thanks grnspot110!!!!! I have been needing/wanting a box blade for some time now, and thanks to my dad, (jmarotz) for the use of his 4' KK bb, but with a 5' wide tractor...

This started life as a 15' tripple row tow behind model that my dad picked up at auction, took what he needed out of it, and give me the rest. I forgot to get pics of what I started with, but let's just say it didn't resemble anything like an attatchment after we hacked it up so I could haul it...

So we finally got around to putting in a new fire pit in our backyard over the weekend. The old one was just an old steel rim with center cut out and dirt surrounding it, muddy mess some days, and dangerous as someone always ended up with melted shoe bottoms for some reason;);) lol, and little...

I am building some roller harrows to hang off the back of my S-tine cultivator that I built from a 15' 3-row tow behind model that I got from my dad after he took what he needed off of it. Anywho..... I have the shaft, roller circles, and 1.5" angle iron I am going to use. Now my ?.... How do...

I have an old Ford 501 sickle mower that I got up and running last yr, works great. Now my question is this.... can a hydraulic ram be added to this to raise and lower the cutter bar? The bar can be a royal pain to hold up and install the locking rod, and vise versa to lower it. Now that I have...
