I have the TM-86H and it has been great. I have a 2305 deere, so not high horsepower. It can take most anything I put in it. One thing that made it a lot better was replacing the linkage to the feed bar. The way it came, feeding branches would catch the feed bar and shut off the feed. made...

The hydraulics on my 2305 went out and there is a very loud whine in the pump. So far, I have changed the oil and filter in the transaxle, cleaned the mesh filter with the magnets and put it all back together and same problem. After I changed the oil and ran it again to check to see if it was...

The hydraulic quick disconnects on my 2305 loader are leaking badly when I disconnect them to take the loader off to mow the lawn. It happens with about two of them. The fluid just pours out. I have tried to push the pin in to see if that resets it but it really just does nothing. It is the...

So I have this Model A and the gas tank had a fair amount of fuel in it. Fuel that is in the same vintage as the Model A. Any ideas what I should do with the tank? It is not as bad as it sounds. The tractor was put away wet in the late 70s or early 80s. My goal is to get this thing started...

I have been given the opportunity to get a John Deere A or maybe B I don't remember. It was the tractor that was on my grandparents farm. Long story short, my Uncle by marriage farmed the farm for a few years after my granddad died. He kept the tractor and it has been in a barn for about...

According to the manual I should change the oil and transmission fluid every 200 hours. It makes no mention of time. It has been a year since I changed both but only about 70 hours of run time. I am inclined to change the oil but do I also need to change the transmission fluid? That is a...

I found a set of used pallet forks with quick attach and I am wondering if they will fit on my CX200 loader. I kind of doubt it but i figured I would check to see if I am wrong. I looked all over the JD site and could not find an answer. They were last on a 4520 which is a larger CUT I think...

I have an old Simplicity 4211 that I use to pull a cart and for close in mowing that I can't reach with my larger tractor. My guess is the fluid has not been changed in at least 15 years. It was a hand me down and runs great after a little tuning of the engine. I went to the simplicity site...

Just wanted to say thanks for all the input. I have been lurking on this forum for a couple of weeks reading and reading. I was trying to decide between a Kubota BX2350 and a JD 2305 for a bit of time but there was really no decision. All the tractors on the family farm were always Deere...

Hello, found this site while doing some research on a tractor. I have been searching around and learned a lot. I found a 2003 BX2200 for sale with a FEL and 60" mowing deck and a rear blade. I think this will do everything I need. The unit has about 440 hours on it and one owner garage...
