I'm probably not using the correct term. I'm referring to the square plate in the rear wheel. I've heard it called a dish as well. It can be removed & flipped. Don't know the exact measurements, but I think it gained 4+/- inches of stance.

I have the John Deere tech manual for JD 850-950-1050. Would the wiring be the same as those models? Careyo63's image is a little hard to read wire color names. Here's the schematic from the JD manual:

Morning! My 3110D did not have a voltage regulator when I purchased it. Getting tired of jump starting the tractor, I bought the new solid state voltage regulator. The wiring is all present, but some wires near the alternator are disconnected. I'm not quite sure where the wires go, & I sure...

This! My thinking is that gauges are not a distraction, as some others have indicated. If I want to know a reading RIGHT NOW, all I'd have to do is look down at the specific gauge. Also, if I do look at gauges while in operation, it's always during travel (ie: moving full bucket of dirt to...

I overheated a tractor once, and blew it up. Now I believe ALL tractors should have temp gauges. I have purchased a Yanmar 3110D, and one of the first things on my to-do list is to install gauges. While researching, I've found a lot of additional gauges that aren't exactly necessary, but would...

4:30am - Wake up. Not sure why. Start thinking of all the projects I want to work on. Think till 5. 5:30am - Shower took, coffee made. 27 degrees. Temp low, but spirits high. 6:00am - Go outside. 6:03am - Go back inside. 6:05am - Check weather. Hang out on TBN. 6:30am - Little boy wakes...

How many GPM does thw hydraulic pump put out on the 3110D? I'm looking to add remotes & so I need to know which control valves to buy.

Yes, I believe you're correct. But, should there really be any slop? Does a new tractor have the same amount of slop?

These pics show the front & back side of the front differential. It appears that on both sides, only a large metal ring remains. They can both be spun freely by hand. Also, the gaps are large enough to fit a quarter on each side of the ring. Obviously this isn't correct. What is missing & how...

Hi Winston! I don't know much about the canopy except that it was on the tractor when I bought it. I think the previous owner may have had it installed. Same goes for the loader. I have not found any identifying markings anywhere on the loader.

I added LEDs to my 3310D.

Troubles begin: I was out shredding 2 weeks ago when I let the radiator clog up with debris and the tractor over heated. Left it in the pasture for the night. Next morning I returned, filled it full of coolant and it fired right up. I drove it straight to the house, let it cool down, then...
