Dad used them on the farm and I forget what for and how. I know they “slide” open and then grip something.

I have a 250 gal fuel cube on my property that I use for dyed diesel. It has a single spin on filter set up. I have always used a standard fuel filter. I am wondering if I can use a Water Block fuel filter in its place or if I want the Water Blocker filter, I would have to add a second filter...

How do you drain the water in the separator without removing the whole filter?? On the JD 4 Series, there is a primary fuel / water separator filter. To drain the water, the procedure is to turn off the fuel valve and open the cockpit to drain the water. This doesn’t work for the obvious reason...

I have a JD 2032R that just began making a fairly load squeal when in motion. It started sounding like the parking brake was engaged but has become a lot louder. The tractor only has 40 hours on it. Started to smell hot. Also feels like it is loosing power when under some load - I was raking...

On my 4066R, I have installed the JD rear work lights, however, I can only locate the stock wire for the right side. I have not been able to locate the left side (rear) wire. I know it should be purple and black, so I know what I am looking for, but just can’t locate it. Any suggestions?

I purchased a Down Force Kit for a PHD from My local JD dealer. No one seems to know the answer to my question related to the plumbing of the hydraulic on this down force kit. The hydraulic cylinder has two ports, you would assume that one end is to extend and the other is to contract but no...

Recently purchased a down pressure kit to fit my PHD. Both Frontier products from Deere. The installation of the HDP is straight forward except for the return line to the hydraulic tank. Naturally there was no instructions included. The dealer (Washington Tractor) hasn't yet been helpful with...

I have several cases of HYPERION high-tac bar and chain oil that I can't use in my lifetime for my saws and wondering if there are other good uses for the oil?

Do you have a horn or other audible on you tractor? I've been thinking about adding some audible noise maker for safety and alerting people or animals when underway. Sometimes just to get my wife's attention when I'm out in the field. Perhaps enclosed tractors have something. What do you use...

I am looking for a new cordless drill as my last one has lasted over ten years with some pretty good use. I am looking for a middle to high grade. I'm not a contractor but generally use a drill on a weekly basis and want something that will last ten years or more, handle the load and demand of...

I am always reading on the site where someone is looking for ethanol free gas near them. See the site http://pure-gas.org/. I hope that you can find a location near you. Anyone else have a better tool to locate pure gasoline?

In the pictures below, you will note a tree that I have on my property that recently found itself in a precarious position. The noted tree is the TOP 80 feet of what was a 150 foot tree. It was blown off the top of the tree in a recent storm, came straight down and lodged itself in the ground...

I'm looking for a one ton bag (or smaller) to fill with sand for the winter. I want to use it in my truck for weight in snow. I'll fill it with about 500 lbs of sand and load and unload in my truck with the tractor. Makes for a clean winter weight that is movable. I see these bags at...

I recently purchased a new Ford F250 Super Duty Diesel Truck with the King Ranch package. I am interested in connecting with a forum more related to diesel than Ford as I plan to largely maintain it myself plus I want to be sure to know how it runs even if I don't do all of the maintenance. I...

I was planning on posting this earlier when I couldn't figure out how to trouble shoot my plumbing problem but I got lucky and tripped over the answer. The past couple of days I would use the hose bib in the back of the garage and get warm to hot water. Inside the garage on the same wall is a...

Got to operate a friends John Deere 9530 with GPS and very impressive piece of technology - the tractor that is. It really is amazing the cost and the savings of operating this new equipment. It's a much different life on the larger farm these days. This was in Washington State.

I am looking for an owners manual for Stevens 311 double barrel 20 gauge shotgun. I cannot seem to find a website that has them to download or for that matter to purchase. Any help would be appreciated.

The steering arm on the front end of my JD 4520 (see picture below) is supposed to have a grease fitting on both ends (parts numbered 19 & 21); mine has neither nor does it have a place (or a hole) in which to install a grease fitting. The rubber grease cavity is flat and has no grease in it...

This is an actual letter sent to a man named Ryan DeVries regarding a pond on his property. It was sent by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Quality, State of Pennsylvania. This guy's response is hilarious, but read the State's letter before you get to the response letter, you won't...

Wow, this is a big form to fill out - all 24 pages of it. Do you all fill it out completely or accurately or what? Kind of wing it?

It seems to me that the future of agriculture is very positive over the long run and in fact may be one of the best industries that you could be involved in including the supply chain, equipment, financing and land certainly. Water rights and access is certainly important relating to farming...

The lovely wife bought us the Landmannｮ 38" Two Drawer Vertical Gas Smoker for Christmas. It looks like a great product with very good reviews and thought I would ask opinions on it before I get rolling. This particular model is a propane heated unit. One can also get the standard wood fired or...

I need to purchase chains for my car, a Toyota Camry. I am trying to decide between regular chains or cable chains. If it were a truck, regular chains for sure but can't decide on mid size cars. Several years ago I had cable chains, older versions and wasn't really happy with the durability...

I don't have any farm junk, my wife won't allow it but interested to see some great pictures of your farm junk, you know the old equipment, cars, trucks, implements and just good ole farm junk. Post those pictures. Sometimes my wife refers to all of my tractor equipment to be farm junk, but I...

I have this choker cable that I would like to put a loop or something that I can hook a chain to but not sure how to fix it with a loop. Any ideas?

My paper manual is worn and not as handy. I would like to get a PDF copy of the Opeator Manual for my JD 4520. Any advice?

I would like to have both a hydraulic top link and tilt link BUT I only have a single rear 3rd function SCV, so I am thinking which would be most useful to have as hydraulic and which one to leave manual? The manual top link is relatively easy to adjust while the tilt link is not. It seems...

I purchased the 3rd Function and line kit from JD to install on my 4520 open station. Generally pretty straight forward to install with limited instructions. My challenge lies with the removal of the panel under the seat assembly in order to install the 3rd function lever. Removing this panel...

On my 4520, I get what seems to be a slight squeak in what seems to be the power steering only when I turn the steering wheel to the right. I don't get the noise when I turn the wheel to the left and it dissipates as soon as I hold the position still and don't continue to turn. Any idea what it...

I had standard steel skid shoes for my Frontier Front Blade that I use for snow plowing. I plow mostly over finished concrete or asphalt and don't want to scare either. So I took my steel skid shoes and coated them with polyurethane. See Picture attached. I found a small bucket to use as a...

I have a three year old Cummins all house generator. It has a new 12 volt battery within the past two months. Today I went out to test start the generator and discovered that the battery was dead. I jump started it with my truck. It started right away, then I disconnected the jumper cables...

I will be using my JD 4520 for plowing a 1200' driveway this winter. The driveway is all hard surface (asphalt & concrete) and has some moderate elevation change. I anticipate needing chains on the front tires. What experience good or bad or other considerations should I consider in my...
