A year ago I was using my jd4100 to mow and all of a sudden the front bucket on the FFEL was scraping the ground. I realized the dump function on my FEL was activiting even though I wasn't touching the joystick. So, the FEL will stay in the raised/lowered position but it won't stop dumping...

I had the drive shaft to my FWD fall out of the tractor recently. A few months ago I had to do a repair to it and when I reinstalled the drive shaft, I couldn't get the snap ring to close around the pins that held the front of the shaft in place. I am no good with snap rings. My buddy has a...

My bucket won't stop falling forward. The bucket slowly drops forward until it is completely in the dump position. I hear a small hydraulic sound when I put my ear to the cylinder. I suspect it is a leak at the svc. Any ideas how to test it? Any ideas how to fix it? Thanks

I have a JD 4100. It had some electrical problems last year amd I ended up replacing the voltage regulator with a 40amp alternator. A few weeks after, it started having trouble starting. When I turn the key, it doesn't turn over for about 30 seconds and then shoots a lot of smoke. I...

hi I have been experiencing some problems with my Woods RM550 mower. It acts like it is getting bogged down even though I am only cutting about 1/2" of grass. I looked under the deck and at some point, I has run over a nylon dog leash. It wrapped around one of the 3 spindles. I removed it...

I Have a year 2000 woods rear mower and it has worked fine for years. At some point last year I thought it was losing power. It usually roars to life as soon as I pull out the PTO switch...so much so that I actually feel a pull as it goes up to top speed. However, it seemed to not be...

I I have a 2000 JD4100 CUT and it has had many issues as of late. It started a while back with a voltage regulator problem. My local people couldn't fix it so they just bypassed the issue by installing an alternator instead of the dynamo/regulator. I suspected, by reading posts here, that...

I was mowing the other day with my JD4100 compact utility tractor and it started making a grinding noise. Brought it into the garage and noticed oil leaking out of the front axle where the drive shaft enters the front axle for what I believe operates the front tires when in 4 wheel drive. It...

I have a JD4100 compact utility tractor. I had an ongoing issue with the charging system. I had to bring it in to the local shop for repair. I specifically said that they should test it because I think it was overcharging and there was a test I couldn't perform because I didn't have the...

I own a jd4100 and I have been having trouble keeping air in my tires. I want to get used rims/tires and there are a lot of them around and economical too BUT my tires are 4 lug, not 5 lug! All the available tires are 5 lug, why do I have 4 lug on my tractor? Is there a reason for this...

I have a jd4100. I have had it for 6 years...it is a year 2000. It has a Woods rear mower and lately, when I engage the PTO, I swear I notice a lack of power. It seems sluggish to get up to 540 rpms and seems to lack power at top speed too. Any ideas on what it could be? If this is a...

CAn I do this? I have a 20 gallon sprayer that I usually connect directly to the battery. I then realized there is a utility light wire under my seat that gets 12 volts when I turn the lights on. I was thinking I could splice the connector from my sprayer into that line and not have to drape...

Hi I have a JD4100 compact utility tractor and it has 4 lug tires. I am in need of new tires and I got a good deal on 2 sets of tires, one set is filled for winter use. I bought the tires before I realized that they are mounted on 5 lug rims. I was hoping just to use them as they are...

Hi I have been having charging issues with my JD4100. I have replaced regulator and battery. What worries me is the wires that go to the regulator from the alternator are getting really hot. The regulator is getting real hot too. Also, the red wire that goes from the regulator to the...

I have a JD 4100. Has operated fine for many years. Yesterday I was driving it and I noticed the discharge light (battery) was on. Then I smelled a really strong burning smell and I saw smoke coming from the shroud underneath the control panel. Today I took it apart today and found that...

hi i have 23x8.50-12 turf tires and one has some pretty nasty holes that I can't seem to plug without them leaking air. 1) is it possible to use inner tubes rather than buy new tires? 2) can i install these inner tubes without special tubes? thanks

hi i am a city boy trying to figure out all this farm stuff. i have a JD 4100 HST Utility Tractor. i recently bought a VERY used 5' bush hog type mower. a few questions: 1) the drive shaft is completely frozen and won't extend. i tried hooking it up to a tree and my tractor/truck and i...

hi I was doing my 500 hour service and I drained the hydraulic transmission. When I was replacing the fluid with new, I by accident, put in a gallon(at least) of contaminated (old) transmission fluid. I didn't notice and I used the machine for a few months with the contaminated fluid (it was...

hi i broke the piston to my FEL on my JD4100. Lost a lot of hydraulic fluid. what do i have to do once i repair/replace the piston to recharge my hydraulics? i don't have a clue if there is one system and all attachments run off of it, or does the FEL have a separate system from the REAR...

hello i would really like to get a repair manual for my JD4100. (maybe even on CD). any ideas? oh, and by the way, price does matter! thanks

hi i broke the male threaded nipple on the piston on my FEL (JD410). i might try and have it welded but i was wondering if this is replaceable if i don't weld it. in other words, is buying a replacement piston expensive (it seems like most JD parts are expensive)? thanks bob

hello i am completely new to tractor owning. i have a JD4100 with FEL (410) and i was using it to move logs and one slipped and hit the hydraulic inlet on the lift piston (sorry, i don't know any of the correct terms, but, it is where the hydraulic line goes into the lift arm and it is...

hello a while back i bent the bolts that hook onto the lift arms on the 3-point hitch for my JD 4100. I had them overextended and by using the rear blade, the side-to-side movement caused the bolts to bend, and i may have stripped the threads to the turn buckle. i tried buying replacement...

hello this weekend i adjusted the rear tires on my JD 4100 to the widest possible. is there any disadvantage to doing this? in the past, when they were narrower and i had a heavy load in the FEL, i sometimes almost tipped over. i am trying to avoid that by going wide. any ideas?

i have a JD 4100 compact utility tractor. when i purchase my filters (oil and air) they amount to a good chunk of money. I would like to replace the fuel filter and the inside air filter also but they have been a lot of money so i have delayed doing it. on ebay they have a company selling 2...

hi i have a 2000 JD 4100 compact utility tractor. I use a finish mower most of the time but recently i changed it over to a grader blade. I had to adjust the anti-sway linkage quite a bit to get the 3-point lift arms to fit over the pins on the blade. During use of the blade, I bent two of...
