I'm looking to get a snow pusher for my tractor and am wondering what size snow pusher this tractor would best handle. I have a John Deere 5410 MFWD tractor, 541 loader, no cab, with R1 Ag tires. The 5410 is a 81 HP tractor and the tires are not weighted. I don't know how much the tractor...

I have two tractors that have different loader Quick Attach (QA) systems. I'm trying to figure out what would be the best way forward on standardizing a QA system when buying new loader attachments. I currently have a JD 6400 tractor with a JD 640 loader/bucket that uses the 600/700 Series QA...

Last week I bought a 1998 John Deere 5410 tractor (MFWD Front) for my homestead here in Northern Michigan. The tractor is in really nice shape, but I'm a bit concerned about the existing tire's traction in sandy soil and the snow we get here during the winter. The tractor has rear 16.9 x 30...

I need to change the fan belt on my John Deere 6400 tractor. Couldn't find any info online about how to properly do it. Was wondering if anyone might provide some directions or perhaps a web link on how to change the fan belt? I don't want to mess things up so I like to have some info before I...

I'm getting ready to flush and clean the cooling system on my John Deere 6400 tractor. The operations manual states that I should drain the system and fill with a "commercial cooling system cleaning solution". Run until hot, then drain cleaning solution. Any recommendations on what product I...

I have a Ford New Holland 655D backhoe and I need to change eight rear wheel studs on one side. I tried using a small and then large sledge hammer and am not having any luck pounding out the studs. I haven't hit it with all my might, but I did try to hit it pretty hard. I hit it hard enough...

I have a Ford 655d backhoe and I'm looking to replace the fan belt. In the front of the tractor theres a hydraulic pump that is driven off the engine crankshaft. I'm wondering how I'm supposed to get the fan belt over the shaft that is between the engine and hydraulic pump? I'm not even sure...

A couple of years ago, I had an issue with the fuel filter on my Kubota BX2670 freezing up in cold weather. In below freezing weather, I'd start up the tractor and let it idle and after a couple of minutes the engine would sputter and stall out. I wouldn't be able to start the engine again as...

I'm having issues with my in-tank transfer fuel pump working. I installed a new fuel pump/sender unit in the tank. I put in a new fuel filter replaced the fuel lines. The pump has a forward and return fuel line. I opened the filter bleed screw and when I turn on the ignition to prime the...

My John Deere 6400 (Product ID# L06400v131378) has been sitting in the garage for 5 years with no use. I am now taking the necessary steps to get it back in running condition. 1. I drained the fuel tank and put in 5 gallons of fresh diesel fuel. 2. I changed the fuel filter. Unfortunately, I...

My John Deere 6400 has been sitting in the garage for 5 years with no use. I am now taking the necessary steps to get it back in running condition and put back to work moving snow this winter here in Northern Michigan. Unfortunately, since the weather has turned cold, I have not been able to...

I'm getting ready to change the engine coolant on a John Deere 6400 tractor. Unfortunately, I've never changed coolant in a tractor before so I'm educating myself a bit before doing so. Of course John Deere recommends the JD Cool-Guard coolant for the tractor but am wondering if it's possible...

I have a John Deere 6400 farm tractor and am having an issue in starting it. When I turn the ignition key, I only get a somewhat of a clicking sound and the starter will only somewhat engage for a brief moment. I tested the battery and the battery is good. I took off the battery cables and...

I have a Ford New Holland 655D backhoe that I use every other day to feed large round hay bales to my cattle. I live in Northern Michigan. Since winter is approaching and I don't have a heated garage to house the backhoe in, I'm wondering if it would be possible to install some kind of...

I have a 1997 Ford New Holland 655D backhoe that I'm currently in the process of changing the Hydraulic fluid and filters. In the front of the backhoe and directly behind the hydraulic oil cooler, is a Hydraulic mesh filter that I need to take out and clean. This filter is directly under the...

I have a Ford/New Holland 655D backhoe and one of my loader hydraulic cylinders is leaking oil. As shown in the attached picture, there's a small outlet nipple protruding from the bottom of the cylinder and oil is dripping from this outlet when the backhoe is running. Since I know very little...

I don't know about you guys, but the more I learn about my Kubota BX2670, the more disappointed I am in the overall engineering and reliability. It looks like Kubota decided to use two cheap filters in the design and do not use a water separator. I realize I need to someday do the fuel/water...

I have a 2013 Kubota BX2670 tractor that I use for snow blowing in the winter here in Northern Michigan. Last year for the first part of the winter, the tractor started well and I was able to blow snow. Once day when I went to blow snow at around 15 degrees, I started the tractor and after a...

I'm new to changing hydraulic oil in machinery so I thought I'd post this and do some research before I proceed. I just changed 4 bad hydraulic hoses on the rear stabilizers on my Ford 655D backhoe. When changing the hoses, I noticed that plenty of hydraulic fluid poured out of the two...

I'm getting ready to sell a International 674 Farm Tractor/gas engine with a loader and no cab. The tires are relatively new and filled. The tractor is in very good shape. Any idea what this tractor might be worth? Thanks
