A little excitement at the farm yesterday- A dump trailer we use to haul muck was being lowered after dumping a load when the bed suddenly dropped about 3 feet. Nice bang, and oil all over the place! I wasn't there so I don't have first hand observation of the failure. Person who was there...

I have recently upgraded (traded) my 2 5 year old Woods 15' light duty (BW15LH) mowers to 3 15' regular duty (BW 15.50). One was delivered 12/30/2018 (taxes), one about 9/15/2019 and one about 9/20/2019. None of them have a lot of hours - I used the older ones through most of the summer, only...

So this is a strange one to me (means I’m going to learn something!). 5105 is hooked to a manure spreader. Noticed today that when the clutch pedal is depressed, the pto starts to turn slowly. Not completely repeatable, seems to be more likely to happen when tractor is at operating temp than...

Did my research and settled on a WoodMaxx 8h Arrived crated up as promised, assembly was pretty straight forward. Nothing terribly remarkable. There are some threads here discussion issues with the feed speed control. Here's what I measured on my new chipper: Setting Speed(RPM)...

Bought a new to me 5085e with from a dealer with about 635 hours 4 weeks ago. Don't know anything about history (other than the JD system says a parking pawl was fixed under warranty at about 125 hours). Weather here has been crappy (cool wet spring) which has curtailed much tractor activity...

Recently bought a 5085e with 650 hours. Currently have a 5085m and 5093e. They older tractors have a different set up for the rear remotes. The last 2 pics are the remotes on the 85m and 93e. Note the dials and a knob. I have a guess from turning the knobs as to what they do I can't find a...

Ok - I own it! Pulled a real dork move and shattered the glass door on my 5093e cab. Had something to do with operating the tractor with the door open... Moving on, pretty sure only the glass is broken, the handle, latch and hinges seem ok, so I'm looking for glass. I think I have the right...

New employee has sparked a bit of a debate about the use of hand throttle. First - we are talking about geared tractors only (specifically here a JD 5105 and a 5055d which are 50ish hp dry clutch with NO shuttle shift/power reverse/etc). I say this because the searches I've done turn up...

Looking for a PTO shaft that is 1 3/16 round smooth to 540 6 spline (I think). Yes I'm sure about 1 3/16. I say that because I can only find 1 3/8. Agrisupply carries this one (Fertilizer Spreader PTO Shaft - Series 1 | Grizzly) which seems to be the right size (about 27" out to 37"...

Working through installing a diverter to run a grapple lid on a JD 5093e with an H260 loader. One is activator switches being eaten - here's a link to a separate thread about that: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/hydraulics/375263-diverter-jd-h260-switch-problems.html The other issue is...

Working through installing a diverter to work a grapple lid on a JD 5093e with an H260 loader. I have 2 issues that I don't think are related - slow bucket curl, and switch destruction. I have posted 2 threads to keep from confusing things. Here's a link to the bucket curl thread...

Hey - I thought I would share my experience with those walking down the grapple purchase path. I'm starting here with the background, then I'll post some action shots, and some "aging" pics so you can see how things are working out. First comment is that I am extremely pleased with what the...

I want my pictures to look like this: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/353512-wicked-grapple-photo-thread.html#post4389892 Instead, they look like this: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/354471-can-you-identify-pto-shaft.html How do I make this happen? Is there...

Hey mods - I need a little help understanding the search feature. As far as I can tell, it is an "or" operation on the key words. Is that correct? Can I make it an "and" operation? How? I spend lots of time searching. An "and" feature would make it much easier. I am a member of other...

Bought this spreader at an equipment auction. Only has implement end of PTO shaft, which is rusted hard onto gear box shaft. Any idea what this is and where I can get the other half?

Working on repowering a JD 757 zero turn mower and had a little issue with the charging light: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/john-deere-lawn-garden/354342-757-repower-charging-light.html Got a few requests for more info, so I figured I start this thread. The 757 (and other models, I...

Well, after the the 2nd messed up head on a 757 (seems to be a common problem) I decided to repower. John Deere 757 Replacement Engines - Repower Specialists Repower Specialists provided a Honda GX690 and the trimmings to do the conversion: decent instructions, mounting plate, throttle & choke...

Fighting a with snow plows because I am new to them. Set up is a JD 5093e (4wd 90hp Utility Tractor) with an H260 Loader. I have a JD Universal to QA converter and the plow is a QA, 8' wide. We don't get really big snows here in my part of KY, we get 0 to 2 in the 10" range per year, and a...

Over heated a tractor today, need some advice on what to do next. Here's the story. I wasn't driving but was there when overheat condition was discovered: Tractor was pulling a 15' batwing in a horse field (just grass, slight roll) but it had been mowing for an hour in 90 degree heat, so the...

Was given a tank on a stand - Had some diesel in it, and wanted to convert to gasoline. Found the thread below and did a clean out by putting in about 20 gal of diesel in 5 gal increments (empty-add 5-swish around-repeat). Had 50 gal delivered fresh from supplier. Let it all settle for about...

Been shopping around for a tractor to pull a 20' mower in horse pasture during summer and a manure spreader in the winter. This will be a 2nd utility class tractor for us - we have leased an additional 200 ac of ground through the winter for a total of 350ac. I think I will burn up the other...

Have had a New Holland spreader for about 10 years, and are looking at buying another one (516). We use them for spreading horse stall muck (saw dust, shavings, grass bedding). We have noticed on the current one, as well as on the one we are thinking about buying that there seems to be lots...

Symptom: When a decent sized pile of muck is in spreader and starts to contact beater, gear box starts making a serious racket - like some one is pounding it with a sledge, and it is about to come apart. Took the gear box out and and found that some hillbilly (ya I can say that) had been into...

Just scored a 2009 5055D with about 125 hours (yes one hundred twenty five). When I first looked at the tractor, it seemed to me that the engine, frame & chassis had been repainted. Several things got my iterest: I have a 5105 and these parts are black on that tractor; the filters had been...

Won an 855 on eBay recently (low ball bid and it held, what have I gotten into?). But, my first issue is to get it on the trailer to get it home. I have about a 4hr (one way) trip to go get it, so I need to pick the right gear. Of my trailer options, my best is an aluminum horse trailer (the...

Just made a deal on a BH 762h back hoe - it is one of the little suckers that goes on the 3pt of a tractor. This one has a hydro pump that runs off the PTO. This thing is in excellent shape (almost no rust or scratches, nice bright hydro rods, good hose rubber, been kept in a shed for years)...

Been searching and can't find clear guidance on this. Equipment is a Shaver post driver. The top 18" or so of an 6' - 8' rod is pitted. There is a single cup seal in the top of the cylinder which is leaking badly. I know the pitted dry rod was allowed to be dragged through the seal while...

Repainting a 20' flatbed trailer and thinking about using some rubberized undercoating on the bottom the I beams. I will need put the reflective red & white conspcuity tape on the beam to meet DOT regs, but it occurs to me that the tape may not stick well to the rough surface created by the...

Got a good deal on a 14k Gatormade 24' gooseneck flatbed, about a 2005 vintage. I mention the manufacturer because it shows the results of some of the problems mentioned on this forum with Gatormades - The paint is ok in some areas, and is about 60% gone in others, and the electrical system is...
