So I've got his tractor all back together. However, I do not have any control of the 3 pt hitch or mower deck. The rockshaft valve was out of it, and in pieces when I got the tractor. I rebuilt the valve with new seals and reinstalled it. When I go raise the deck or hitch, it doesn't move at...

I had it running, today it won't crank. I bolted the seat back on tonight, that was it. I'm guessing it's electrical, a switch not making connection most likely. I hear the seat switch click. It is a 2004 Hydro model. I'm in neutral, pto off, parking brake on. I found 2 black connectors on the...

The 3 pt hitch on my tractor was not functioning correctly. It would not raise itself at all. I pulled the valve out and redid all the seals. I just went to put it back in and it doesn't seem to want to slide back in. I don't want to force it and cause issues.a re there any hints from anyone who...

I just picked a 2004 Deere 4110. I just removed the hood and found the pivot/ locking rod mechanism up near the steering wheel is broken off from the hood. I'm looking to make a plate at work to rivet in, but would like a pic of that area so I can see how it mounts up. Thanks

So I just picked up an RX75 with a bagger for basically nothing. I was told the problem with it is that it runs fine but as soon as you engage the mower it will not move anymore. Has anyone heard of something like this before? I'm wondering if it's as simple as bad bearings in the mower deck...

The battery light on my 94 JD 320 stays on all e time when I'm mowing. I am only getting about 12 volts coming back to the battery. It seemed fine, but the battery was dead when I went to start it today. 12 volts seems low, I'm guessing it should be around 14 or so? The battery is new as of a...

So I'm on my 320 project again. I pulled the fuel pump off, and am amazed at ow difficult it is to push the arm. How much pressure should be needed to push the arm in to actuate the pump? A few of the pushes with my thumb barely even got it to move. It seems way to difficult to me

So, my next moweritis bit me. I bought a 2000 335 with the 20 HP engine, 48" deck, 600 hrs, power steering. It was maintained by the dealer. Great condition. Really wanted the power steering and foot control of the hydrostat. Mows great. Really happy with this machine

I have always been a John Deere guy, but have the opportunity to pick up a nice looking 518XI. It has 976 hrs on it. I mow about 20 hrs a year. Looking for $1200. Is that a reasonable price and should I be concerned about the hrs? The specs/ reviews seem to show this is a really well made unit...

Ok, so one voltage regulator later the charging system is good again. Now, the fuel system question. I thought I had it figured out, but my theory bombed. After various amounts of time, the tractor Stalls out. The fuel filter is bone dry when this happens. Originally I thought e fender was...

After looking at the 420 project, I stayed with my 320. I went to mow today, after mowing 30 min yesterday. Ran fine yesterday. The battery light has never gone off since I've owned it, even with the new battery. Today, I mowed 5 min and it started stalling out. It seemed to stay running longer...

Ok, so in this sick hobby of tinkering with tractors, I once again am looking for an opinion. I still have my 320 that runs great with 700 hrs. I have found a 420 with a 60" deck, and 47 snowblower. The upgrade cost would be $1000 after an offer i have on my 320. The 420 has 1200 hrs. I don't...

I have the 94 320 with 700 hrs on it. Runs and mows beautifully. However, there is a VERY nice 345 that has come up for sale locally with 600 hrs. It would cost about $500 to move up to the 345. Is the 345 a significant enough upgrade to justify this? Decks are both 48", 345 has power steering...

Just mowed fr the first time today with the 320. Is the steering on these very light, or is mine an anomaly? I felt like it did not want to turn, especially up a hill. Would adding weight on the front help keep it planted? Also, the tires are stock lawn tires, they seem hard, like a a belt that...

So i was using my 320, real one not the x version, mowing the lawn tonight. I stopped it to grab something and it would not restart. The solenoid clicks and it sounds like e starter tries to engage but won't turn it over. Any thoughts?

Started the process of putting the 320 back together and get it running. Ran into a few minor issues today and figured I'd asked before taking next steps. 1- is the oil drain plug teed off the bottom of the dipstick? I know this sounds silly, but mine is so tight that I'm afraid I'm going to...

I just purchased my 320 and got it back into service. It has 700 hrs on it. It needs a little paint and a new seat now to be almost perfect. However, an opportunity for a 2010 X320 for $1000 with 400 hrs has come available. Is going with the X320 a better option? It seems like it's a more common...

I just picked up a John Deere 320 that I found on Craigslist that I could not pass up. It has 700 hrs on it, needs some minor work. I have a few questions based on issues it's giving me. 1- the battery charging light will not go off. I just charged the battery and cleaned all the connections...
