    John Deere 4310 Mid Mower Lift System

    Hello, Were you ever able to sell your mower mount and lift parts for the Deere 4310? Your post was from 3-31-2021 so maybe sorry to bother you on this. I'm asking just to see if there is a market. I've got some of the major pieces rods and that typically stay with the 7 iron 72inch deck...

    755 Deere (1988) brake issue

    BTW it has about 1090 hrs and was purchased new. Not used much and kept under cover. Brakes seem to be dragging (not releasing) and putting engine load on the tractor when moving it. Also the individual L/R brake pedals and main pedal on right side of station do not have the travel distance...

    John Deere 755 Tractor Transmission Issue

    Thanks for the info and parts break out. That really helps. I'd really like to find a good theory of operation on this hydraulic transmission and the configuration. It helps to understand how something works. Here are a couple of photos of the #14 rubber type manifold on my tractor and the...

    John Deere 755 Tractor Transmission Issue

    My JD 755 tractor which I purchased new in Sept 1988 has 1088 hours on it. Today the transmission started to whine more than normal. Tractor moves but is reluctant, and the tractor steering became stiffer (normally no resistance), and steering wheel started to kind of chatter under load too...

    John Deere 165 - Starter won't engage - Any ideas?

    My 165 Deere engine intermittently does not want to turn over. It seems possibly due to something like brake safety switch. The brake pedal needs to be depressed to start. This sounds like a stupid question but where is the brake safety switch actually located? Do any other interlocks...

    Loader  3720 300x loader mounts jammed during install.

    2006 3720 with 300x loader and 447 BH. Anyone ever run into this and if so I'd appreciate a tip on how to unwind it or release front mount? In the process of reinstalling my FEL tonight I was able to latch and engage my front parking stand on front bracket before the rear mast and frame...

    Is anyone still using the JD 165 lawn tractor? Any problems?

    Just curious if anyone is still using a 165. I still use my 1986 165 w 38 deck and bagger that I bought new. It works great for trimming and pulling a smaller yard cart. I've even used it to cut over 5 acres when my other tractor was down. It still runs great after 30 years. Replaced the...

    JD3720 & 447 backhoe hydraulic hose replacement

    Thanks guys....I appreciate you taking the time to discuss this up front which helped. Info on hydraulic fittings interesting to someone like me that has not had much hydraulic experience other than brakes. I'll post a couple of pics of ends. I removed the hoses by putting a wrench on the...

    JD3720 & 447 backhoe hydraulic hose replacement

    If you don't mind I like to run even relatively minor tractor repair jobs past others that may have had some experience, unless I've done it before, and in this case I have not. Replacing the leaking hydraulic hose seems like a straightforward deal. The leak hasn't busted out but it is...

    3720 Deere Mid Mount Joystick Loader Selective Control Valve - mind of its own

    I'd like to ask a question of the forum before I start tearing things apart. That said I have a 2006 3720 (260 hrs) with a 300X loader where the mid mount selective control valve joystick control is not operating as smoothly and with the finesse and smoothness that it once provided as a loader...

    755 MMM fails to engage

    My 1989 JD 755 w 60" MMM that I've owned since new now fails to engage the mower deck when I activate the PTO. The 755 has been an amazingly trouble free machine. When I engage the PTO the engine hesitates/slows for just an instant but nothing further happens. The mower is not activated...

    Are Montana Tractors made in Montana?

    Where are the Montana tractors actually produced? I live fairly close to a major chocolate producer named after a town in Pa and slowly but surely they are moving their candy production to other countries and to other places. Mexico has been one of their many choices. My question is...

    755 MM mower flat spots on front gauge wheels

    Another anyone else have this problem question? I've just replaced both of my the front swivel gauge wheels on my 60" mid mount mower on my 755 for the 2nd time in recent years because they both have multiple (2 or 3) flat spots on them as though they were dragged on the ground without...

    Quick Hitches  Pallet Forks - how much?

    I'm considering a set of Horst Pallet Forks HD2048 for my 300 loader mainly because I can get them immediately. There are other and better options if I wish to wait. The 48 inch-ers with 2K load capacity list at $725. They weigh about 300# which is less than the Frontier forks that are...

    Backhoe  3720 rockshaft malfunction backhoe removal

    I'm attempting to remove the 447BH from my 3720 for the first time. The BH was installed by the JD dealer early this summer. I'm discovering that the rockshaft will not lift (or lower). It seems dead in the water. I've tried adjusting the flow valve that is located in the middle under the...
