I received a new impact wrench last year and am ready to put it to use on a winter project. The old one I have been using is cheap and has below average torque. It came with a small bottle of oil and I have always put a couple drops in where the air hose connects each time I have used it. It...

I now have a JD 5303, 64 HP at engine, that has straight, fixed draft link arms. Previous tractor had extendable draft links that made connecting implements very easy. In looking into ordering factory extendable draft links, the cost would be more than either the Pat's Easy Change or the Quick...

I have recently purchased a used Long disc harrow. Have just now gotten a chance to look it over. Got a few things I am wanting to do to it. #1) It measured 9' across the back disc gangs. I prefer it to be 8' since it would make it easier to transport and get around in the woods with. After...

Based on that price makes me feel even better about the deal. Like a kid I couldn't wait to try it out. Found a slightly bent axle on one gang and a few other things I want to change. No squeaking from the bearings was a plus. Thinking I am going to move the back gangs in to make it 8' instead...

Was able to purchase for $600. Does have 4" frame and has Cat. 2 pins. Will need a little work but looks like a good start. Thanks for all the input and advice.

Long Manufacturing Co. Model 960 Disc Harrow Been keeping an eye out for a good deal on a disc harrow around 8' wide. I have been unable to find any information on the Long Manufacturing unit. Anyone had any experience with these?

Over the past several years most of our woods roads and trails have experienced narrowing due to bushes and limbs growing over into the trail. In an effort to keep from scratching up and tearing stuff off of my tractor, I keep getting further away from the woods edge. Not to be confused with...

We will soon begin our biggest mowing project of the year in getting all of our food plots and roads cut before planting starts. I was able to use my new 3/4" drive socket set to take the blades off my MX6 mower to sharpen. This went much smoother than expected. Still had to use a 3'-4' cheater...

I know this is not a plumbing website, but so far there has not been much I can think of that hasn't been discussed and usually resolved. I recently had a several year old dishwasher go out. I bought a new one and began to change it out. Attached are a couple of pictures to help explain the...

Attached are pictures of an old plow I pulled out of the bushers and briars recently. I have found etched on the frame "Athens Plow Company, Anthens, TN, Taylor Pat's, 1923-1931". This is my late grandfather's old plow. I am interested in the official name of this type plow and it's intended...

Have been considering purchasing a new disc to use with my JD 5303 MFWD w/FEL. Just purchased a new 82"W X 22'L 12K equipment trailer to be able to transport to our hunting lease. There seem to be many options to consider. My primary uses will be preparing food plots and garden spot. I am...

I am considering a trailer purchase. I have looked at most every type and am trying to decide on exactly what will best fit my needs. We currently have a 16' 7K with angle iron sides and a 8' 2K trailer for a single four-wheeler. I am looking for something at least 20' long to be able to...

I have been watching and looking for a deal on a used trailer. Minimum length is 20' and a minimum of 12K rating. I am not looking for stand up ramps as I am concerned they will get in the way of longer loads hanging over the end. My MX6 cutter with FEL installed is about 24' in length. This...

I recently upgraded to a 2008 JD 5303 MFWD. When running JD MX6 cutter I kept hearing a noise like an alarm going off. With the engine running at top speed I couldn't make out where it was coming from. There was no noticeable change in anything, just the noise. I noticed it was happening...

I have been considering upgrading my current tractor. I have read of this similar comparison in a couple of threads. I have read many posts where the "E" series are referred to as entry level or basic machines and the "M" series described as much more tractor. In comparing the 5065E and 5065M...

I am looking at upgrading from my 2WD 5105 to a 4WD 5303. The 5303 has the straight lift arms without extendable draft links. My 5105 has the extendable draft links. I would like to swap them to the 5303 in the deal if the price is right. One dealer told me this wouldn't be a problem and another...

Noticed yesterday while running my JD MX6 cutter in thick grass that it quit cutting. Raised it up and it picked back up and would cut fine. Next pass when I get to the thick grass it slows or stops again. First thought was the slip clutch was slipping. Tightened up slip clutch today, sharpened...

I have made several inquiries about this issue, but here is my current situation. I have a 2WD John Deere 5105. It has 14.9-28 tires on 12" wheels. If I had bought it new I would have opted for the 16.9-28 tires. I have added a FEL, but have always lost traction before loading/bogging the motor...

Was recently discing a food plot for a friend and smelled diesel. Continued on with my discing as it was almost dark and couldn't see well anyway. When I loaded the tractor I noticed diesel was streaming out from under tractor. Got a flashlight and noticed there was a valve that appeared loose...

Alright guys here is the question, do I add wheel weights or not? Tractor description is 5105 2WD with 14.9-28 tires loaded with water with recently installed JD 512 loader. Tires loaded with water adds about 450 lbs per tire. Primary uses include light loader work, mowing with JD MX6 rotary...

I live in South MS where the temperature seldom gets below freezing for very long. I have recently added a FEL and was pondering the idea of adding more rear ballast. I have had no problems when using with my MX6 attached, but expect a drastic decrease in traction with it removed. By way of the...

I believe I read in my manual where these o-rings were used to create an edge to paint to during the painting process and were supposed to be removed upon delivery. I had a John Deere 512 loader installed a couple of weeks ago and haven't thought much about it until someone asked me if my...

Can anyone identify this part and explain what it does? I can only best describe it as a cotter pin. Looks like a cotter pin that is stuck through the transmission body from the bottom with only the "loop" sticking out. I noticed it yesterday while under the tractor zip tying some wires up. I...

We mow about 4 acres weekly with a Bad Boy 60" with I believe 27 HP Kawasaki motor. Unit runs around 14 mph and cuts good at that speed if the grass hasn't gotten too tall. We only have around 240 hours on it and have it serviced annually. Maintenace cost around $200 to have all fluids and...

I am interested in knowing if anyone has ever mounted a 16.9-28 tire on a 28"D X 12"W wheel. I currently have 14.9-28 tires on 12" wheels. The tire states to use a 13" rim, but from the factory the tires are mounted on the 12" rim. After looking into the 16.9-28 tire, it states on the tire to...

I have a 2WD 5105 John Deere with approximately 250 hrs. Unit has 14.9-28 rear tires loaded with water and two remotes at the rear of the tractor. I use this tractor for basic gardening/farming. I got a really good deal on the tractor and have been contemplating adding a FEL. I have a neighbor...

I have a 2WD 5105 and noticed some time back that the dash mounted turn signal switch on the left side of the steering wheel was no longer working. I checked all the fuses and everything checked out. I checked the flashers and they were all working which removed the possibility of a bulb being...

I have reviewed some of the previous posts on the topic and have the following questions: 1. Has anyone purchased a pistol type grease gun and wished they would have went with the lever type? 2. Based on experience, how many times has anyone found a grease fitting would not take grease from a...
