Our 1973 John Deere 310 started easily down to the teens/20s (F) with just half an hour on the heater (the type that’s inline with the cooland hose). The heater was pretty high wattage, maybe 1200 if I recall. We usually let it go for an hour or so regardless. It was mostly used for snow plowing...

My local power equipment dealer sells the VP premixed and ethanol-free regular fuel both by the container and in bulk. Going back a few years in pricing, I think it was $22/gal for their can and $14/gal in bulk (bring your own can). I didn't pay attention the last couple times I went. Maybe find...

We have an MF-50 in desperate need of new rear tires. What's on there now are 14.9-24 on 13" wide rims. They don't look correct so I thought about getting 13.6-24, but since we have a set of chains for plowing, should I be worried about how well the chains will fit, and how much traction might...

Hello, We've been getting sluggish performance out of the FEL on our 310 and sometimes there's pulsing as it lifts up. Usually, adding fluid (there are a couple leaky hoses) seems to fix it, but it's been worse lately. I would like to drain the fluid and change the filter. Has anyone here done...

We have a John Deere 310 that currently has a pair of 12-year-old John Deere TY21737 batteries (Interstate equivalent 3EH-VHD). Each battery is 6v, 850cca, reserve of 270 mins. They are in series for 12v. My dad never maintained the batteries and it started cranking weakly in the last couple...

Woods in CT in fall 2008. Maintenance of the gardens isn't phenomenal, but hey, it's plenty green. :p

Got a 1958 Massey Ferguson MF50 that we bought from the guy across the road. He said he had the air filter in the basement and that he'd get it to us, but he never did, then his house burned down.... Can't find an air cleaner assembly. The YTmag store doesn't have one for the gas engine for the...

A friend and I have been trying to get our MF-50 (gas) running after sitting for a year or two. It ran pretty well when we parked it, but now it won't even sputter when cranking. We noticed that the distributor is loose; it rotates pretty easily (but not quite freely). There seems to be a clamp...

Hello, I'm wondering what kind of battery a 1958 MF 50 takes. It has the Z-134 engine. I'm not sure if the battery that came with it is the type it's supposed to have or not. Thanks! :)
