I have a Land Pride mower that needs a tail wheel. The available wheel has the correct diameter shaft but it is longer than the receiver on my mower. I would like to know how I handle this. Thanks for the help.

I have a JD 1070 and was mowing with a brush hog when the PTO locked up and killed the engine. There is nothing hung up in the mower. Where do I begin to troubleshoot this thing? Thanks!!

Hello, boys! I hope all is well with you. This seems like a really stupid question, but here it is. I have just acquired a John Deere 1070 that works well in every capacity. But I cannot find two things: 1. The 4WD switch. 2. A place to add hydraulic fluid. Can you help me with that...

Is there anything of an electrical nature on a diesel tractor that would affect the fuel output, idle speed, etc.

I have recently had the injector pump off and to the shop. I also replaced the voltage regulator. (New Holland TC18) After putting things back together, the engine runs at full throttle and throttle movement does not effect the engine at all. The engine also blows more black smoke than...

I have had the injector pump off troubleshooting a problem that turned out to be something else. When I got the other problem fixed and primed the pump, it started easily enough, but it ran at max RPMs and blew black smoke. The throttle seems to have no effect at all. Thanks for the help...

Hey, Gents!! I have a TC18 that has been running like a champ. During a job a couple of weeks ago, it died and gave off a burning smell with some smoke coming from under the instrument panel. I checked it out and found that there is no fuel getting past the injector pump. I started taking...

My TC18 has an inline fuel filter between the tank and the fuel valve. I can't find that on any schematic, but I may not be looking in the right place. Is that normal??

I need some help starting my 2003 TC18. I am just getting used to the machine, and I now know that I can't trust the fuel gauge. With the gauge on half-full, I let it run out of diesel. I filled it up - , and I can't get it started now. Is it a hard one to get primed so that it gets fuel to...

This forum has been invaluable to me already, and I have only had the machine for a couple of months. Thanks to all who haunt this forum and lend their expertise so freely. My TC18 has a large spring dangling under the tractor from the right side of three point hitch. I can tell where the...

My 2003 TC18 with 350 hours suddenly won't start. The glow plug light does not light, and at times, the other dashboard lights don't even come on. When they do come on and I try to crank it, they don't come on the next time I turn on the ignition. There is not starter action at all when I try...

My backhoe steering wheel spins with very little resistance and no effect on the wheels. After much spinning, the wheels will turn and the steering wheel stops when the wheels reach their fully turned position. Any suggestions will be gratefully received.

Howdy, all. I have not been on the site for a while as we build our home in the Piney Woods of east Texas (picture attached). "The Beast" (1980 Ford 445 Backhoe) has been stationary for months now, but it is time to get 'er going again. The steering is fouled in some manner. The wheels seem...

I am working with a Ford 445 backhoe. It is one stroooooonnnnng machine. I have a growing leak around the shaft of my front mount hydraulic pump. Are any of the stop-leak fluids worth considering? Thanks

I have replaced the linkage between the crank and the hydraulic pump multiple times. It is operable again, but through my research, I have come up with some questions. 1. Is there a relief valve or check valve on these machines that might be faulty? 2. The linkage from the crank has only...

I got my 1980 Ford 545 stuck. In working with the backhoe and loader to get it out, I heard a loud thump and then all hydraulics cease working. It was dark, so I didn't have time to check it out. Any ideas where I should start? Thanks to all!!

I am looking at a machine that is unusual in two ways. It is a three cylinder gas, although the info I can find online says the 4000 was only made as a four cylinder. It is also yellow, and I cannot find an online picture of anything but blue. If you can add some wisdom to this concern, I...

I am considering a 65 Ford 3400 with industrial loader. Starts and runs good and fits my budget. I would appreciate any feedback.

Anyone know much about this machine?

I need to purchase a tractor and have found some good deals about 150 miles from my land. I don't have hauling equipment. Which is the most logical long-term solution: 1. Purchase close to home even if a lesser deal 2. Buy the hauling equipment as an investment in the future 3. Contract to...

What do you think about this model with just over 500 hours on a one-owner machine?

We've got 15 wild (woods/bushes/thorns/moderately hilly) acres. In the summer, it is a challenge even to get through the property at all. We are ready to clear the areas we have selected for a driveway, homesite with large yard down to the creek, and paths to get around the entire place. I...
