Folks, I'm looking for some guidance on hooking up a 3PH log splitter to my JD4300. The previous owner had a back hoe and I believe had the power beyond kit installed. I've attached a photo of the back end of the tractor. My log splitter mounts to the 3 point hitch and has two hydo lines...

I'm thinking of buying a large volume bucket for my 4300/430 FEL. JD wants about 800 for their large volume bucket. Can anyone point me to a better deal on a bucket for this tractor/FEL set up? I'll be using it to move split firewood and horse manure. Thanks.

Folks, I finally finished my snow plow FEL project. I'd like to thank those that offered advice on this. You really helped guide my decision making on this project. My objectives were to keep cost low and to make little or no modification to the existing plow frame. I designed the...

I'm looking for some guidance on a project I'm about to take on. I recently bought a 6' Meyers blade with single acting pistons, which, I believe is typical for snow plow hydraulics. I'm preparing to fabricate a mount to adapt it to my 430 FEL, that part seems fairly straight forward, but I...

I've recently moved up from an old IH Cub Lo Boy to a JD4300. World of difference....but, I always used to be able to carry some chain, rope, nylon web tug strap and a couple of wrenches under the seat of my old IH. There isnt much room for this in the JD. Does any one have any good solutions...

I'm looking for info on an attachemnt for my bucket. I just saw a 4300 sell on ebay with the attachment I'm looking for. I use my 4300 to load manure into a dump truck. Usually when I raise the bucket above 6 feet some of the manure spills over onto the hood of the tractor, especially with a...

I just bought a used 4300 with a 430 loader. The bucket on this machine is too small for my needs. I'll primarily be using the loader to load horse manure onto a truck. Does anyone have advice on the most cost effective solution for a larger volume bucket? For manure how big shoud I go? 66'...

Hello, I'm new to JD, thinking of buying a used 4300 nearby. The range selector lever has become disconnected from the shaft. The seller says the shaft has "fallen" into the tranny case. Apparently an angry horse boarder forced the lever and broke the shaft purposely. Is there any way of...

Hello, My 1974 LoBoy 185 has started surging when run hard in 85 degree plus temps. Works fine without load but once any load is applied to the engine the rpm "hunts". Oddly enough giving it a little choke seems to help. Any ideas? Mark
