    DK45Se won't start

    I have looked through old threads and haven't seen anything quite like this. My DK45SE (2012) will not turn over. This happened two times before and I was able to fiddle with the forward neutral shifter on the dash and it started then. It will not now. To be safe and start ruling out the...

    Change glow plug in F1435

    I am suspecting that my glow plug (S) may not be working. When I turn the key the light works and goes off but it doesn't start easily. When its warm outside it starts fine. I am thinking of putting in a glow plug. How many are on a f1435 anyone know? 1 per cylinder or 1 per mower? How...

    DK45SE water in fuel

    Not sure how it happened but I am sure it happened. I use a 55 gallon tank and put it onto a trailer to get off road diesel and save .53 cents a gallon or so. Anyway, the tractor was running fine right up to the point I put some diesel into the tank. I estimate I only put 3 gallons or so into...

    New 2 me, J deer 1435 front mower any advice?

    Anyone have a 1435 and have some insight about things I should be mindful of? It is a 2008 72 inch cut. I will be cutting about 6 1/2 acres every week or two as needed. Much of that is in between rows of grapes, blackberries, blueberries and raspberries as well as about 100 orchard trees...

    Found that the DK45SE must have a tilt swtich that kills the engine

    I was pulling a blade behind my tractor yesterday. The objective was to take the sharp angles out of the road ditch so I can mow it next year. I was moving along in 1st and mid range when the front end sunk down and bottomed out. I had the grapple about 4 ft high. The ditch by all...

    FEL lock seems broken

    The sliding tab that "locks" the FEL in place appears to be broken. There is a little sliding movement but it no longer stops it from moving. I have tried wiggling the joystick around while trying to engage it. How hard is this to fix? Anyone seen/done this? I sure miss my lock as I often...

    Stopping a leaking cylinder

    I have a post driver that is leaking pretty bad. Not bad enough I refuse to use it but bad enough I am concerned I am losing maybe 1/2 -3/4 a gallon with every 5 hrs of use. I am wondering about rebuilding the cylinder. Where would one get parts especially when I am not even sure what it...

    3 pt Auger not doing its job

    I borrowed a guys 3 pt auger. Think the kind that agrisupply sells. It has 6 inch and 12 inch bits. I started with the 6 inch bit and in several places I tired to dig a hole. It would go down abpout 10-12 inches max. I tried standing on the 3 pt hitch and lets just say that it added atleast...

    flail mower 907 replacement blades

    Does anyone know if the 917 blades will work on a 907? I cannot find any blade part numbers for the 907. Light duty or heavy the same, meaning would either work on the 907?

    Where is a good place to find/get tires?

    Actually its for a ford 8N I have. I swapped the tires off of it to put on my ford 3000. Now I need to put some on the 8N. I checked AGrisupply and TSC to no avail (well I did find the fronts at ASC). I believe I remember ASC used to sell em. Anyone know if a good place in the Raleigh, NC area?

    What are these O rings for?

    I found a couple of O rings on the FEL. Specifically on the Hyd cylinder. They are painted orange. What are they used for? Any ideas?

    Hydraulic Tree cutter/shear

    Just had a thought... If I were to build a shear to cu say up to 5 inch diameter trees could I run this with my 3rd Junction valve lines I have for my grapple? Does it have enough force to shear a tree off?

    Loader  Loader over load question

    I have noticed a few times that when I am trying to un root a tree or picking up something with it, the FEL just stops. For example, my brother was gave me some metal fence posts that were in the ground about 2 ft. I hooked a chain to them one at a time to pull them from the ground so I could...

    What happens when you choke a HYD motor?

    I was wondering what would happen with a Hyd motor if you use a supressor (for lack of what it may be called) to limit the amount of fluid (this would result in rpm speed). From what I read it appears a hyd motor say runs a 320 rpm and can cut say up to 1.5 inch branches (using a sickle bar)...
