That would cause it to not spark after it dies?

Fogged fuel filter would? It doesn’t spark after it shuts down.

Here are a few pics I could get today

I believe it’s a Kubota

Not 100% sure. It’s blue. It’s a buddies. Can’t locate any markings on it.

Grasshopper 725 runs great for about 20-30 minutes then just dies. It then has to sit until it cools t o restart. Had a new coil put it and still continues. During the time it sits it does not have spark. Any ideas?

Hello all. I have a 1528 Hydro. It was left in the sun before being in my possession and the decals are pretty much shot. I purchased what decals Mf/AGCO still provides, but some are no longer available. Could someone take a pic of the decals with a ruler or something next to it? I would...

Here is a pic of tires aired to spec and on level ground.

Thank you. Yes it is a MFWD

Ok excuse my ignorance, but I know most tractors with a FEL have some toe in with the front wheels to offset weight or heavy loads. However, looking at my front end, it looks like the left hand side(drivers side) is leaning way more than the right. Is this normal? How does one go about fixing...

Looking at the rear now, I see there are a couple different holes or combinations of holes on vertical lift arms, and the horizontal arms. I will just have to play with it some. It did how ever throw my 900lb+ cement ballast up in the air like it was nothing, so thats a plus. Thanks.

It was in the middle I believe.

Went to brush hog for the first time with the tractor (2005 MF1528) with King Kutter 6' rotary cutter. It seems as if the 1528 barely has any lift height. It only picked it up a few inches, where every other tractor I had lifted it to the sky. I store it on 4x4s and it barely took it off of...

I tried the key thing over the weekend and no light. But it did start rather quickly compared to before. But no light.

I have yet to see mine do that!

Hello all, Have a new to me 2005 1528. When I go to start, it takes a few minutes to crank and then start. I had a JD4300 in which the glow plug light would come on when the key was turned to the start position. Reading the manual, it states the glow plugs are activated at the start position...

The pick-up tube broke off into the tank. It was an aftermarket tube. It has the screen filter on the end of it. Also, used a cheap AMAZON fuel lift pump, so also thinking it could not be keeping correct pressure?

Hello all. Bought a 2001 Bobcat 873 machine. Had some issues when bought but I thought I fixed it all. I recently put a new fuel pick up tube, fuel filter and lift pump. Things work great under low rpm but once you give it some throttle it wants to bog down and stutter and even die at times. Is...

I have a new to me 2008 MF1528 HST with 1520 FEL. I want to do a complete fluid change. However, there are no close dealers near my area. What would be the best hydraulic fluid for my machine? It will take about 8+ gallons of fluid. I do not know the history of the machine, so no idea what...

Correct. Can I use compression fittings or are there better alternatives out there? Also, what hydraulic fluid is recommended? I have HST version. I know JD wanted hygaurd, but no MF dealers close.

Can one splice in a section of hydraulic tube vs. replacing the whole thing? I would like to just cut out the rusted/bad section and use some fittings or something to replace?

No, it’s the 1520 loader.

I took the protective cover off the metal hydraulic lines on the loader and it looks as if one of the lines is completely rusted out. I cannot find the parts diagram for the loader. Can I use compression fitting and splice into the old line? Also, I know I need at least 2-3 new hoses as well...

Hey all, just came home with a 2008 MF1528. Tractor seems to be in pretty good condition, just been left outside in the sun too long and has a few hydraulic line leaks. So I think I did alright, as it has 1800 hours, and only gave 5k for it. I have owned JD 4300 before this, so having a MF is...

Thanks. I kind of figured it would be too small and need some modifications. Just not many 755/855 around my area for sale. There are many that have no loader, and seen the 40 loader for sale too. Thought one could make one from both. Ohwell, the search continues.

Hey all. Looking to buy a JD 755/855. I think either would suffice for my needs. However, I cannot locate one where they dont want you to rob a bank for it. However, I did find a JD 40 loader. Would a 40 loader fit a 755? What is the difference between the 40, 52 or 70 loaders?

I can fab a bit with stick welder and some cutting. But I am not the best.

Correct, trying to figure out the best way and if the newer JD style would fit my pins with the older 146?

Yes it’s jd146 loader. Pin on style. I don’t have the jd4300 anymore.

I would like to keep it as cheap as possible! LOL Sure, send the link. Thanks. Was hoping JD made a part or could get some take offs from newer JD, but not sure if the carriage will fit.

I've seen some of these, but was hoping a lesser expensive option.

Hello all, I have an older 2240 with 146 loader. The bucket is pin style, but would like to convert it to quick attach to I can get some pallet forks, as I use them more. What would be the best route to covert? Thanks.

So picked up the tractor yesterday. It does not have the hi/lo on the left side. Looks to have just throttle on right of steering wheel, hi/low/reverse on left and gears on right stick. Anyone happen to know the shifts patterns?

I don’t see a left lever of the steering wheel in the pics they sent. But will find out tomorrow.

I can post video when I check it out. From everything Ive seen online, i see 2 sets of shifters. So guessing it has hi/low gearing? But wont know for sure until the 28th.

Hey all, Looking at a '79 2240 4wd with fel. Tractor is about 3 hours away so I want to be on my toes checking it out. He sent me a video, but that's hard to tell. Said no leaks and everything works as it should. Said spent about 5k replacing some hydraulic lines, clutch, seals, etc. I have a...

I know right! 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️[emoji51]

Thank. I bought it used from a owner 6 years ago out of town. Tractor doesn’t get used too much and has been deff over due for flush/change. I am thinking it’s from someone trying to change gears (A/B/C) while it’s in motion as it’s a Hydro. I’ve let buddies borrow it and heard it grind before...

Not 100% on hours. I’m second owner. Maybe 1500 hours or so. The meter doesn’t work too well. First time I have serviced myself. No one ever mentioned it before.

So I went to change out all hydraulic fluid today. When I got to the screen it is a bit concerning as there are shavings and chunks of metal! Lots. Should I be concerned? ‘01 JD 4300 hydrostat

I tried the test today. Unfortunately, its still so wet out and I dont have anything close to load. But I drove the tractor up and down the drive with the forks on it, as it seems to be heavier than the bucket. It didnt seem to move much. But once I started hitting the bumps it started to...

Thank you. I will most def try this out and see what happens!

Hey all, Going to change out the Hydraulic and Transmission fluid shortly and figure I would maybe try and rebuild the bucket cylinders. The bucket tends to drop as soon as it has a load it in, or not, but faster with load. It is the bucket's curl that drops, not the lift. However, I dont...

I believe/hope it’s the rubber manifold. Have one in order. Thanks for all them reply’s.

Hello, I have a 2001 JD4300 and have developed a leak, but cannot pinpoint where it is coming from. I am attaching some pics, as if some of you are better inclined and may have had the same issue. Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. After posting I checked the tire pressure and it was a bit low. After I aired them up, the “canter” wasn’t as noticeable. I will play with it some more this week as time allows.. was just nervous as I lifted a heavy load the other day. Thanks

Was looking at the tractor today and it looks as if the front tire is not straight. Are these tractors to have a slight pitch to level out when load is on? Please advise? It the “passenger” side .

Well took the forms off, looks ok for first time ever pour concrete. Ps., Had a couple buddies over who helped decorate it, lol.

Well I ended up making a box 27x26x16. 6.5cuft, used about 11 80lb bags of quikrete. The calculation says abit over 800lbs.

OK, I want to make a cement ballast box for my JD4300. I have this older 3pt attachment that Im going to use. However, how big and how many bags of quickrete will i need to disquiet ballast? Thanks.

Hey all after searching and reading and more searching and reading, i would like to purchase some forks. But I am leaning towards the Titan forks as it wont break the budget. I see most 42-48" tines are out of stock.. Any one else know where to purchase? Thanks.

I normally don't do these kinds of things, but I am trying to help my Mother-in-law out the best I can. She has always been there for my wife and kids, and now she needs our help. I started a GoFund me page to help out with her bills, as her dog and husband, just passed away last week within...

attached are the pics. One from the outside and one from the inside.

I purchased a home with a 24'x32' pole barn with stone floor. The barn is only 5-8 years old and was built up in the back to accommodate being level with the driveway. The other day i was spraying around the barn and to my surprise some of the 2x6 tongue and groove is already rotting. Since...

Wanting to make a ballast box for my JD4300. Going to use some old 3-point parts I have laying around. Thinking about just boxing in the 3 point hook-up and adding cement/wire/rebar etc. My question is, how big and how many bags of cement do i use? I am not the greatest mathematician, nor...

I can get a killer deal on a MF4850 tiller. Problem is, it is setup for smaller tractors. Can I retrofit this to fit my JD4300? Thanks.

I can get a killer deal on a Massey 4850 tiller. It is setup for smaller tractors. Can this be retrofit to fit a JD4300?

Here are some pics of it after it was fixe the first time. This time it broke off further down in the threads.

I have a used 4300. The rear says it should be able to pick up about 2,200 lbs.? Well this is twice now the left lift linkage has broken on me. I had it welded once and now it broke in another spot. Both times in the threads. I was only picking up my disc at this time. Anyone have problems...

I have a JD4300 with the 420 loader. My hydraulic seems to fall rather quickly and leak come fluid on the bucket or curl cylinder. What is needed to rebuild or replace seal maybe? Please advise. Thanks.

Here are a couple after weld pics.

Hello all, I am new to the forum and somewhat to the tractor world. I have a Ford Jubilee for a couple of years that I am trying to sell. But I picked up a used 4300 with loader, scaper blade and box blade with trailer for a reasonable price (I believe). I have never owned a diesel...

Hello all, New member from Indiana. I have currently a Ford Jubilee and a JD 4300. Looking for great information here.
