My grandson came up and gave me a little help on the tractor work this last weekend. Thought ya'll might enjoy seeing a photo.

After reading with great interest the thread on the 220 volt outlet I thought I might post my plan for getting power to the well and make sure I am on the right track. First off starting with a 50 amp breaker in my main panel, I will run 6 - 3 with ground in buried conduit 110' over to the well...

While doing some loader work yesterday the curl function on my loader stopped working. It is the 419 loader on a 790. The lift function still works, and if you apply downward pressure while backing up it will curl up and if you lift it, it falls down, in other words it is not frozen or locked...

I just got my tractor back from the local dealer last Saturday and was so pleased with the work that was done I wanted to post and share my experience. I have a 790 and it was ready for a 50 hour service, as I have no shop, or even a concrete slab on my property yet (meaning no good place to...

I am coming up on my 50 hour service and out of curiosity I called the JD dealer to see what he would charge and he told me around $70.00. I was confused as the JD manual says to change engine oil and filter as well as hydro oil and filter (among other things). When I questioned him on what I...

I am going to purchase a trailer to haul my tractor around and would appreciate some input from those of you that have one. I was initially considering a 16' tandem axle trailer as this will certainly hold the weight of my 790, but am concerned about the lenght. When the brush cutter is on...

I checked the level of oil in the gearbox on my post hole digger last weekend and noticed it was little low, (nothing serious), but it made me realize that I don't know what type of oil it uses. I suspect it would be a gear oil similar to what is used in a truck rear end, but must admit I don't...

Can any other 790 owners confirm the size of the rear lugs on the 790. Using my american sockets I find the size somewhere between 1" and 1 1/16" which I figure to be 26 millimeters. I was hoping to find a tire iron I could use but have not been able to find one. I guess I will need to get a...

I only have 15 hours on my 790 so it could just be a matter of break in but I thought I would ask if this is normal. Sometimes when engaging the PTO it is difficult to pull up on the PTO handle all the way and engage it. I stop trying, let the clutch out to move forward alittle then try again...

I got my new tractor , dealer made delivery Friday, it was a 50 mile ride, so I rode with him and wife followed in our truck. He spent a couple of hours going over everything with me, we unhooked and hooked up the rotary cutter, went over all the controls and maintenance items, etc. I did...

I just wanted to write a note of thanks to the whole group here. I have been reading for the last nine months and posting for the last few. After much reading, (being able to search the archive of information on this forum is an incredible resource), much test driving, specification review...

I have been reading for months now, and find the wealth of information and experience here to be really helpfull. I have rented a tractor twice so far and am finally thinking seriously about buying. I found I got so much work done with the rental tractor that I keep thinking about renting...
