I finally took the time to compile all the pictures that I've taken over the last several years of the restoration process that I have been doing to my John Deere 425. What started out as a slow air leak to one of the original (1994) front tires has turned into near full-blown restoration...

Hey y'all. I've been slowly rebuilding my father's old 1994 JD 425. He bought a used JD 2305 back in 2010 with 130 hours on it and I got his hand-me-down JD 425 with the 54" MMM and 47" snowblower. The tractor is now 22 years old with just under 1,000 hours and is starting to show it's age...

The hydraulics on my JD 2305 seem to have some hesitation, more-so than usual. I figure that its being caused by a low hydraulic fluid level or am I in left field with the diagnosis? Can anyone tell me how to check the hydraulic fluid level in a JD 2305? I thought that the fluid fill under...

Just thought everyone would appreciate a picture of my 'new-to-me' JD 2305 TLB. Picked it up last weekend in Mass. I also have a JD 425 with a 54" mmm and 47" 2-stage snowblower sitting in the barn. If I get a good day this weekend I will take them both out and get some group shots. Any...

I am the newest member to your site. I have admired all of the helpful people and advice on your website for the past couple of months while searching for a new tractor. Last weekend I purchased a used JD 2305 TLB with 130 hours and turf tires. Before then I have owned a JD 425 with a 54"...
