I'm sure this topic has been beat to death on the site, but I need to change the Transmission Oil in my old John Deere 450C crawler. Is Traveller Universal Tractor Trans/Hydraulic Fluid from Tractor Supply a good oil?

My 450 C dozer feels like it kicks out of gear when I'm on an incline, either up or down. On the level ground, everything seems fine. The problem didn't exist last time I used it a five months ago.

I have a 12 volt - 3/8 Makita drill that was working great until a couple of days ago. Now it seems to be weak and die after driving 5 or 6 - one inch drywall screws into 2x4s. I checked both batteries. They both read between 12.37 & 12.43 volts on the meter. Any ideas?

I've got a couple of hydraulic quick connect coupler that are leaking under pressure. Can they be rebuilt? I've searched the Net, but haven't found anything about rebuilding them. Here's a link to my QC coupler. The diagram shows an #2-O-Ring & #3-Backup Ring. I've looked at the old coupler...

Here an update on the Continuing SAGA of the JD log Splitter. 1) Installed the plug in the Control Valve to make it a Closed Center. 2) Hooked the hoses to one of the dual QC remotes. It moves but pressure was erratic. (Max pressure 500 psi) 3) Moved hoses to the other QC remote and TA-DA. 2200...

Hey Folks, This is a great forum for me. I'm always having some question about my equipment. My 700 acre farm is 70 miles west of Music City. Just about all my equipment is John Deere, from my 2355 4WD tractor right down to my little self-propelled walk behind lawnmower. I've been getting...

Well here I am again and the Log Splitter still hates me. To refresh your memory. I have my log splitter hooked to the remotes on my JD 65 hp Tractor. I pull the SVC lever to the rear to create the flow to the splitter. (1) I have installed a New Cylinder. Heavy-duty Double Acting Cylinder...

I've bought a new cylinder for my log splitter that runs of the remotes of my JD 2355 65 hp tractor . I have two questions. 1) Do I fill the cylinder with fluid or let the tractor pump fill it? 2) I need to set the relief pressure on the control valve. I bought a pressure gauge, but I'm...

Log Splitter Valve Failure on JD Tractor I've been using a log splitter attached to my 2355 JD 65 hp rear dual SCV by pulling the the SVC level to the rear. The Splitter had an ENERGY open center valve. The splitter is 20 years old and was working fine until last week. I assumed the valve had...
