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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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?

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.

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...

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

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...

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.

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 .

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...

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?

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.

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...
