I just replaced the neutral safety switch. Hardest part of the job was getting the cover back on and everything aligned properly and keeping the darn gasket in place (and clean). I have the bolts snugged down and verified that the new switch works. The old one was intermittent, so hopefully...

My throttle is not staying put. It sure seems as if it is snug/tight, but it slowly revs down, and won't stay where I put it. I actually have a NOS fiber friction washer that my father in law gave me when he gave us the tractor. Is there any more to installing this other than removing the...

Without buying oil at 2x the price at a dealer, what do most of you use for your small JD diesel tractors? I have a 2305 and an x745 mower. Yanmar 24HP engines (as I recall). We live in Missouri, summer mowing can be in the 90's, and the tractors get little use after November, so I don't worry...

I have a Ford 5000. I am fairly new to tractors (7'ish years), so forgive me if this is a newbie question. See my pics below - I'm trying to get an optimal angle on my brushhog (84"), so that it won't bog down the tractor. I can't adjust the center link much more (mashed threads!), so am I...

I have a 647 rotary tiller. I run it on a JD 2305, and it does a fantastic job. I have some questions. Is this model supposed to come with the adjustable skid shoes, or are they an option? also, I shorten my upper 3pt arm as much as possible, but it won’t quite bring the tiller to level...

Hello, I've searched the forums, and can't seem to find a similar post, but please let me know if I missed something. When I disengage the PTO on my ford5000 (rear, running an 84" landpride brushhog), the PTO shaft still spins, although slower. You can clearly hear it spin up when you engage...

Can anyone point me in the direction of disassembly/repair tips for the extendable lower draft arms on a Ford 3 point system? There is a ball that can be pulled, to allow you to extend the lower arms to help connect your implement. It seems that the ball is connected to some aircraft cable...

Does anyone have a source for a distributor cap for a ford 5000, 4cyl? Mine needs replacement - top "post" (that touches top of rotor) has a chunk broken off. Still works, but I see the end may be near. I find them online for $98. None of the automotive stores I have tried have anything...

This may seem like a silly question, but I'm several hundred miles away from the tractor, and I need to bring the tools needed to change the front wheels. They kept going flat (**** Osage Orange trees...), so I have a second set that is filled with stiff foam to prevent flats. I have a 1/2"...

I have been troubleshooting a charging problem on a JD2305. Found out that I could jumper two wires on the K3 safety relay #1, and now the battery shows that it is charging. Still can't get the battery lamp to illuminate. (on another working JD2305, this lamp should light for a few seconds...
