Looks like I found the problem One of the screens failed, damaged the valve. New screens, o-rings, valve all installed and working properly again.

Was grading a driveway with the box blade and the 3pt started bouncing. I've done some searching and I think I've lost a seal but wanted to see if anyone here has had a similar issue. 3 pt bounces while running, unless its down. Lift it up and it's dropping and the position control is...

Backstory, When we purchased this house I failed to see water damage at the end of a gutter, it was covered with a piece of duct tape. I pulled the tape off a year ago or so and found a small hole, not being able to do the repair at that time, I filled with some foam, and put the repair on the...

Here is how I have been securing mine, g70 5/16 chain, and ratchet binders. I bought 2 20' chains at Lowes, had them cut in half. I also have 2 other 20 footers from Lowes, in case I need longer ones. two on the front over the bucket, since the tractor is so small, and one on the backhoe...

Anyone use a soil pulverizer? There is a used one for sale locally and I'm thinking about picking it up. I have a few parts of the yard that need to be seeded, other parts that need to be ripped up and re-seeded, etc. Also from the research I have done it looks like it would work ok on my...

Everyone likes pictures right. Plenty of room up front for my Grapple, etc, or any rear implement I may get. Would be nice to have pallet fork mount.. And

Going to look at a 2004 20' trailer tonite. I'm sure the tires are probably original and will need to be replaced. What else should I be looking for? I'll test the brakes, check for crack in rims, welds, deck board condition. Check axles and the springs. I've read thru a bunch of threads...

Having an issue with the valve on my wood splitter. I'm not sure what is broke in the valve, and if I should order new or try to rebuild it. Both forward and return stroke is very slow with little pressure and there is no return to center on the forward stroke side of the valve. It feels like...

I happened to find a Trac-vac 854 on CL bout an hour away from me. I had a modified a Trac-vac unit couple years ago and it worked very well but it was a small unit with only a single trash can for the bin, the issue was capacity. After a couple days of hard thinking, I called to see if it was...

Another year of leaves... I have filled my 6x10 dump trailer by hand 4 times so far, and I have a long way to go. I have found a John Deere Tilt Dump MCS from a 316 tractor a neighbor has for sale. It is setup for belt drive from the lawn mower. I'm sure I can get it mounted to the 3pt, and I...

Backstory: I had been looking for a Planet Jr for a while now, for my father-in-law, who grew up working on the family痴 farm. They grew and sold veggies etc. Now that he has retired he has started doing more gardening and even planting some veggies and helping a local farmer at the local farm...

Does anyone know the fitting type in the 2320 loader valve? I have installed the manual 2 position valve for the mid mount mower lift, and I am un-impressed with the way it hooks up. I would prefer to replace the hardline and run directly to the 2-position valve. This would allow to have a...

Anyone know if a front blade from an X700 can be used on a 2320? I understand I would need longer hoses and a couple extra mounting plates. I just didn't want to assume the balde and front hitch were the same. Scott

Installed a Brand Hydraulics compact valve on my 2320 to run the snowblower rotation and chute last Dec. Everything works great, except it leaks from the spool's, not the connections. The odd thing is it does not leak while the tractor is running. It only seems to leak when it's sitting...

I am thinking about adding hydraulic rotation and deflection to my snow blower for this winter. JD has the 3rd scv kit available now, but since I want to add both I need 2 sets of ports. I know I can add an electric diverter to do both, but then I got to thinking maybe I could just fab up my...
