Thar she blows!

Hey Folks.. Curious if anyone has any thoughts they might like to share on a B2100. I saw it today on the side of the road. I am unsure of the year, but they didn't make them for a ton of years anyway... 1250 hrs. Loader, steel cab, hydro trans, loader and 4wd. Condition looked reasonable and...

I know a long time ago there was a dealer, likely in the midwest, who offered what appeared to be wholesale parts on factory JD stuff. I don't for the life of me recall the dealer, though I BELIEVE he/they were a site sponsor. Or if someone cares to share a dealer they happen to like. I need...

Hey all.. I am looking at a 1990 (ish) Ford 2810. It has got 4wd which as I have gathered is a pretty rare item. I assume it was installed after initial manufacture. The tractor is a little weathered but all in all, looks and appears good and right. The problem I have is that it has 8500...

Hi Folks, I have a 2005ish 110tlb and it's bucking violently when driving. I have searching the internets for relevant information but can't find what I suspect I need. The problem is as such: When driving (hydro trans) in any range, the tractor is bucking violently. At any throttle input or...

GreatWhite: Thanks, I did do that. Though with some of the silly problems I have had (caused by not seeing the forest for the trees!), it was a pretty reasonable suggestion! Jenk:Thank you also. Here are some pictures and (maybe) a video. All the linkages and everything I expect are present...

Hi folks.. I have, perhaps, a head scratcher here. I just took the backhoe off my 110tlb for the first time. I tried to move the hitch arms and they didn't. I didn't hear any hydraulics attempting to move either. Puzzled, I hopped off and discovered I can move them freely by hand. There is...

Hey folks. Curious if anyone has a thought on this. My 110TLB won't crank. The system as a whole has power. There is power getting to the starter solenoid (the power to the main power lug). And it is grounded properly (through the starter). Naturally the solenoid is oriented in such a...

I know the intreresting wording is what brought you here. :) And I specifically am putting this in the JD section because that is the subject of the tractors I intend to do this with. I have a Deere 4720 I no longer need/want. (I bought a 110 TLB) I have the need for a small chassis tractor...

For my next amazing(ly stupid) question: Does anyone make an adapter to put a skidsteer backhoe on to either a 3pt hitch or a full rearset subframe? I have available at a "reasonable" price a Bobcat 607 and I am curious if I can get a subframe to mount it. What I am wondering aside from the...

Hi folks. Odd question.. I have a Deere 4720 (which for the record, I don't really like) and I need a backhoe. There is someone local who is selling the backhoe off their 110tlb, for a reasonable price. I am curious if it is possible to plug the 110 backhoe on to my 4720? I know the 110...

Hey folks. I have a 72ish Case 580b. I am having a steering issue. I am certain the steering cylinders are leaking to some degree and need to be rebuilt. But the issue is really: Initially when I would let it sit for a time (+1 day) I would have to "pump up" the steering before it would...

Hey folks, I have a '72 case 580 CK. New to me. It's a hydro drive beast and, unless I am missing something. It's god awful slow. By which I mean: I don't appear to have any 'range' selections. Just the forward and reverse pedals. There is a creeper/"cruise" lever on the steering column which...

Hey everyone. Today's dumb question is: If I wanted to adjust the relief valve of the hydraulics for my 4720 how would I do it? (i.e, is it a standard relief valve? and where is it located?) The reason is twofold, 1) Every once in a while, I need a little more oomph when log splitting. and 2)...

Hey folks, I have a 4720 and have been searching for a backhoe. I've come across quite a few hoes for skidsteers and I have come to wonder. Is there a reason I can't get a skidsteer backhoe, the skidsteer to Deere adapter plates to mount it to the loader arms, and then use it like you would (I...
