Hi-I have a TN60da, about 10 years old with about 210 hours on it. The plastic cap for the diesel tank has always fit tight to the point I can only turn it about 1-1/2 turns if I expect to get it off again. Any advise about how to lube it, petroleum jelly, dry lube, ???, new fuel cap?? The...

Hi-I have a 748 with 7iron deck that I love, 360 hours and only a broken deck hanger (my fault) but it has an annoying feature. If i drive up a very slight slope it will shudder to the point it almost hops. Only at slow speeds, it I accelerate a little it seems to go away. My dealer poo-poos...

Hi-for those of you that replaced your u joints on the 2320 drive shaft, what u joint did you use? I just looked at a YouTube video where the man used "410" u joints as they only cost about $30 each compared to John Deere's $60 each. He removed them and measured them and went to the auto parts...

Hi-I have a 2320 and use a 4' Frontier rear mount weed mower that weighs about 520#. I'd like to use a finish mower at times and according to the literature when I bought it I was limited to a 48" size. I can get a used Woods RM59 that weighs about 450# or less and a new Bush Hog 60" weighs...

Hi-anyone have experience using gooseneck extenders. I have a short bed p/u and a new 8'wide trailer that I kissed the back window with and I want to do what I can to avoid that again. Looking at ones that go in the bed hitch, and ones that go in the trailer hitch and I can't find much about...

Hi-will have a bumper pull stock trailer that I'm leaving in Arizona and wonder what recommendations or experiences you all have had with locks for the trailer hitch so it theoretically can't be stolen. Searched the site back 3 years but must not have put in correct terms as I could not find...

Hi-I have a several year old TN60A with a vinyl seat. It is cracked and I'm wanting to replace the seat part, not the back. Any recommendations as to after market seats that fit. Could not find anything with search on this site, ebay will always defer to "tn 60 set" rather than seat!! It is...

Hi-I've decided I "need" a night vision scope, to look at birds, critters, keep track of the horses, etc. I borrowed my neighbors Bushnell Gen I monocular scope and it is nice but no longer available. I've searched and wonder what you readers use for this? Do I stick with Gen 1 (affordable for...

HI-I have a 2012 GMC 2500 HD Durmax 4wd, Crewcabshortbox which does most of it's life pulling a 3horse Bumper pull WW aluminum trailer and 4horse gooseneck Featherlight. I annoy other drivers in the am because both trailers cause my headlights to shine into their eyes like I have the brights on...

Hi - I have an 05 Featherlite 4 horse gooseneck horse trailer that I've had for 5 years, and use it 2 times a year hauling horses 1000 miles each time over 2 days each time. I've not keep up my floor inspections like I should have and pulled the mats today and the last stall has several areas...

Hi-first cutting of the season, 2 y/o 748 with 58 hours and when I push the reverse pedal, the 15amp switched power circuit fuse blows. It did it last year a time or two, googled and searched sites I'm familiar with but found no answers and it quit doing it. Now I'm down to my last fuse, I've...

Hi-new aluminum WW 16" BP horse trailer, bought 12/10 and had the wheel bearings serviced immediately. It goes 7500-8000 mile/year including a 3200 mile round trip to Arizona each year and small trips of 100-150 miles 2 times per week, weather permitting in spring, summer and fall. Plus we...

In my few years of lurking and posting on this site I have become very impressed with Diamondpilot. His knowledge base is enormous, he seems to be the first to answer posts, he is direct, to the point and friendly, his answers have been very helpful to me and I think he must live on this site...

Hi-I have a gn horse trailer, and bumper pull horse trailer, and googled to find out recommended tire rotation patterns that people use and found out that many on RV boards, etc, don't recommend rotation. Any thoughts from this site on whether rotation is advisable or should not be done...

Hi-I bought a WW Bumper pull horse trailer in 2010, it had 15" wheels and Carlisle tires. I pull to Arizona from Iowa each winter, and back in the spring. I switched to Hi-Run tires but not good tread wear and 65mph limit supposedly so I bought 16" wheels and put LT Firestone Transforce...

A little snow in Iowa yesterday to move.

Hi-I have an 04 Dodge 3/4 ton diesel P/U as a tow vehicle for primarily a 2 axle stock trailer, and twice a year, a 4 horse trailer. 70,000 miles, 80% towing miles. Truck came with 17" E rated BFG tires on steel wheels and I picked up a set of the same E rated tires on aluminum wheels and...

Hi-=Have an 04 Dodge 3/4 ton diesel that I put a Putnam class V on at least 4 years ago. Lately pulling my 6000# trailer I've notice it "bumps" when I start off and I thought I must have put a 1/2" pin in but it is a 5/8" and the hitch pin hole on the receiver is loose. I've "fixed" it by...

Hi-Have a 2320 and want to add a fumoto valve to it and wonder if anyone else has done this and can give me the appropriate part #. Thanks. Bill

Has anyone had any bad experiences using the ST6607 oil filter in place of the M806418 for the smaller Yanmar engine, in my case for the X595 and 2320? I'm quite sure I read in somewhere, but in second guessing myself as to how adviseable this is, and getting ready for my spring oil changes, I...

Hi-I like my wife's 2320 but miss having a temperature gauge, and wonder if anyone has added an after market gauge? I won't be mowing with it so I don't anticipate problems like I have with my mower and dust/dandelion trash, etc, but any ideas? Thanks. Bill

Since moving to an acreage in 1984, we've always had small tractors, starting with a Kubota 7200, then Kubota 9200, then Ford 1520, finally a New Holland TC33. Last fall as we had now access to round bales, and were going to use a Post Pounder to build a vineyard I bought a NH TN60A which would...

Hi-Looked at a 23 hour 4010 this am, with a new 4010 60"MMM, $10,000 firm. I have an X595, 62MMM, nice tractor, but my property is rough, it has smaller wheels than I'm used to (used to have a few boomers which were not nearly as rough) and it is pretty hard to sit for the 3-4 acres I cut. This...

Hi-I have a JDx595 with a 62C deck, great tractor but I'm having issues with the cutting quality. About 90 hours, starting 3rd season, and whenever I cut, I can see each of the three blades leaving a path at different heights. The deck is leveled front to rear and side to side, I put on new JD...

Hi-TN60A and I'm borrowing a Shaver 12 post driver from a friend. No problems with anything except how to hook up the connection from the driver to the tractor to circulate or exhaust the fluid to the tractor when the driver descends. The manual suggests (page 3-23) using the "zero-pressure...

Hello-Relatively new TN60A (45 hours) with Quick attach on FEL, had pallet forks on, moving two big rocks. I was carrying them low and bumped the ground and one side of the quick attach mechanism disengaged allowing the pallet fork on that side to slip down. I immediately stopped, rocked the...

New TN60A in August 06, great tractor for my 'ranch', horses, hay moving, mowing, etc, but persistent problem for the past few months with the loader not working, it won't go down. The lower right coupler in the mid mount remotes was always disconnected. Finally figured out the the upper right...

Since I got a TN60A tractor last summer, I "had" to buy a new trailer to haul it around. I got a 12,000# capacity Mustang and have a question about how to use my weight distribution hitch. The snap up brackets have a capacity of 2 1/2" which fits fine over the L shaped angle iron front that...

Hi-I have a new NH TN60A and am looking for a toothbar. When out in California last week I saw a Gearmore catalog and their new toothbar does not require drilling holes in the FEL box, the bar clamps on the cutting edge. I like this concept, but in my search of the archives on this site I...

Hi-My neighbor and I have smaller acreages, he has a JD955, I have a NH TC33D, and both do well for most of our activities. However, he has hay ground, and has it round baled. The bales are 1200-1800# and above the 1200# our tractors are helpless. We've neighbored well for 11 years and wonder...
