It's in a 3 ring binder. Like new. $25 plus $10 shipping.

So the long arm one looks like you have to get close to the tree and swing into it (hard right turn) to then be able to close the jaws, as opposed to the others where you drive straight forward into the tree and close. Do I have that right?

Holy smokes! It must be holding up well! You buy the HD version?

What types of trees and diameter do you normally pull with it? What size skid loader?

So how is this tree puller holding up? The Intimidator and CL FAB ones everyone recommends are $3800-$5200...... I need one for my 70hp skid loader and everyone says to buy the more expensive one....any issues with yours?

Great thread, I'm right there with many who posted. Currently I'm 64.5 yo and Medicare will start 7/1 for me. I plan to get a Supplement to cover what Medicare doesn't. But, to get here, I've retired twice. Once in March 2021, then went on Cobra, that took me to Oct 2023. Then I went back to...

I decided not to split the tractor to fix the range shift selector fork. I'm going to button it back it back up and just run it. My question is, when I removed the PTO cover, there was no gasket. It wasn't leaking, but I want to be sure when I put it back together, that it doesn't leak. I was...

I've owned a number of tractors, from 20hp to 64hp, over the past 15 years. Here's my recommendation, first - get a Hydrostatic transmission. First time tractor owners will usually use up a clutch because they don't know how to operate a tractor properly. 2nd - read your operators manual...spend...

Thank for the response...I guess they are lost forever at this point..

I very much appreciate your help! Apologies in advance for not getting all the terminology of the parts correct, I realize it makes it harder for folks to understand my questions. For me, a picture really is worth a thousand words.... I think there are snap rings (20) on the end of the forks...

Yes, I was trying to get as much info as I could, with pictures, to better understand what I'm going to see once I get in there. It's still only 12 degrees here, so I'm not in a rush to get into the unheated garage to get the rockshaft cover off yet. And for me, one of the shift forks themselves...

I sure wish the pictures were available for this write-up. Would help me a ton to understand what I'm looking at in my Shift Fork repair. Any way to get these pictures back?

I think I saw the ebay listing that had all the gears and goodies, for just shy of $2k if it's the same one. Good idea asking them to separate. I did think about welding - not something I could do, but maybe someone more experienced could....Appreciate the help!

Glad to see you're still around ! Ok, Thanks for the heads up. I need to look at the repair manual to find out what these bearings are, where they are, and where the AUX valve is so I can identify what you advised. It needs to warm a bit before I get back at the tractor, at or below 0 isn't...

Hopefully you're still around helping folks on this forum. I bought a JD 4200 that is stuck in A range, B and C range only gives me Neutral... following these write-ups, I popped the PTO cover and took off the inlet filter screen underneath the tractor. There were very few shavings on the...

Correct, poly tank.

That's possible I guess, we've had a few winters of -15 for multiple days in a row since installed

That's what I didn't know, if the outlet had a leak. I couldn't see the outlet hole itself as it was a vertical pipe and that's all I could see.. I assumed there was then a 90 to go to the outlet.I have a hard time believing the tank has a crack or leak itself since they are pretty stout and...

So, just a follow up since I received lots of advice from those trying to help. I took the lid off the septic tank, didn't smell all that bad actually. I wonder if the baking soda I put down there 2 weeks ago to balance the ph helped? Regardless, smell wasn't bad. Before I took the lid off...

Never done it either, but I'm not a quitter!!!lol There's only 1 roof vent. There are 2 sinks, 1 stool, a floor drain, a bathtub drain, and a washer drain.......what could go wrong? lol

2 of the 3 we don't have - no grabage disposal, and we don't put coffee grounds, grease, or anything else in drains. and no dishwasher. We do have a washer which we occasionally run (every 3 or 4 months) usually 1 load....Thanks for your reply. Edit: I did notice the odor last time there when I...

Smoke bomb in a 16 gallon vaccum and blown into roof vent... with drains in cabin covered. Hope it works!

Haven't read the rest of the posts below this post, but many folks are telling me something similar - that it shouldn't need pumped for a long time if ever. The plastic lid is plainly visible (at least 1 lid, not sure if there are more). I've moved the dirt and rock where the lid attaches to the...

OK, not being a plumber, or educated in septic systems, I may have mistakenly mischaracterized the discharge of waste water from the outlet. I just assumed it ran out the end of the pipe from the tank into the open air. Sounds like that is an unlikely setup. I've never smelled anything near...

The cabin is only used about 50 days a year, 2 people. Drains aren't slow, no gurgling of sinks....?

Sorry, I should have been more clear. We only smell the odor when outside. But off the front door is a porch, and it makes sitting out there unpleasant at times. The Snyder Industries tech said I could caulk the lid. I would just use a latex caulk for assessibility later. Anyone think a smoke...

I called Snyder Industries today, they said there is no gasket for the lid I have....but I can see a wave in the lid and the tank....

When we had our cabin built, they placed a 300 gallon septic tank about 15' from the front door. That was in 2017. Over the years, maybe even the beginning, we smelled sewer off and on. We could never figure out if it was the vent pipe on top of the roof, the outlet pipe which is open air...

To follow-up, I ordered some Cobalt m42 drills, a Drill doctor sharpener, and 2 cans of cutting oil. I appreciate all the input provided - very very much! Oh, and I already have a drill press ! Any thoughts on use of step drill bits? Obviously not what I'd consider precision holes, at least...

This is excellent! Thank you for taking the time to educate me, and probably, others on here!!! A+++

That was a great video and helped me tremendously. I've narrowed it down to a few sets. Thank you folks!

Thanks for the replies guys. I already learned a lot more than I knew yesterday. You have to start somewhere, right? I have a variety of jobs that I'm always drilling something at the farm, so I don't have a specific job in mind with this question. I think about the things I've drilled in the...

Does that mean I should be able to get by with HSS or Cobalt for the majority?

No offense taken. I learned a lot just from my search of drill bits today. Learned I have a lot to learn.....Appreciate the input!

Honestly, I'm a novice on the types of steel out there. I suspect steel like used on State snow plow trucks are 1/2" hardened steel? Farm implements like disks, plows, planters I'm not exactly sure but know my off the shelf bits get ruined pretty quick trying to drill on this type of material...

Need to get some drill bits for around the farm. Thinking cobalt?

Not sure ...my SN is 43xxxx and I was able to look at my dash a few days ago and from the pictures it matches what they say is an early model for an IOOS....Tractordata says 2004 model year starts at 43xxxxx, which mine is. Confusing....

I do take it on the road to another farm. The road consists of 2 different state highways and some gravel as well, even though it's only about 12 miles between the 2 farms, so yes! LOL

New to me 2004 5320 and I have 2 questions I'm hoping someone can answer. The Manual talks about an early and late model 5320. Does someone know what years constitute an Early model or what Serial Numbers? Question 2: My brake lights aren't working, I don't see a separate fuse for the brake...

I just didn't want the extra wires hanging /running along the frame of the tractor

I'm hoping ! Just don't know what the amps draw is from the sprayer vs optional lights and if I'll blow fuses or something. I'm not that good with electrical knowledge...

I've received such great information here, I thought I'd press my luck.... I am trying to find an open/extra 12v plug on the rear of my JD 4520 CUT tractor so that I could power a 40 gallon Fimco sprayer. Right now I have wires running from the battery that I plug into, and I'm trying to find...

I wanted to give an update on my question. I came to the farm yesterday and mowed, as usual the temp gauge moved to the 3/4 position on the green. I went into display mode and saw the coolant temperature at 89, which per the instructions is in Celsius, and converts to 192.2F. So, i think I'm...

Thank you so much for the attachment and information! This will be a big help to me!

Seriously? Is that a gauge issue? What is the actual temp of the antifreeze at that gauge reading? Do they put higher rated thermostats in them? Please elaborate.

Do you know the temp rating on that thermostat? Yes, belt is tight, radiator is clean from debris. The fan itself has a few chunks off some of the blades, someone must've dropped a wrench or something in there while it was running. That's the only other thing I think might be causing it to run...

Does anyone know the standard thermostat rating (temp) for a 2009 4520? The technical manual shows 8 different thermostats and ratings from 160F to 210F. My machine runs about 3/4 on the gauge. Not in the red, but about 1/4" below red, and a 1/4 " above the halfway reading. I want to get a temp...

Ok, issue is solved. I talked to my buddy today and he said the Hydraulic fluid was low. He said "I check it all the time (it has a sight window) and I don't know where it all went....SMH Thanks for all the help and replies.

Moved to John Deere Owning/Operating Forum.....

Posting an issue for a buddy. He has a JD 4200 Hydrostat trans. He says he was working on the driveway and put it in High range "C' to get to the end of the drive, and when he tried to go back to B and A range, it wouldn't go there. He could get into Neutral and C, but it wouldn't go into B or A...

Yep, I told him to move the pedals a little each to ensure they weren't preventing the change of Range. But he said he can go to neutral and C and back and forth easily. I'll post there - Thx

Yes, of course. I contacted someone directly thru DM who had previously posted they had manuals available. They were kind enough to send me the info I needed. Hope that helps!

Someone helped me out - Thx!

Trying to get info on where/how to change the the thermostat. Thanks in advance

Be awhile before I get back to the farm to check it

it did.

Good advice - Thank you !

Yeah, I expected someone to mention this :) But, yes, I'm sure it's the right dipstick. I'll wipe it off on a paper towel next time as 1/2" of oil can look different than a small amount on a dipstick. Still, before the oil change, the oil on the dipstick was visibly dark, and today, it's...

What interesting is the oil from the pan is coal black when I drained a little, but dipstick is clear.

I have a question I haven't been able to find the answer to. I have a 2009 JD 4520 Compact utility tractor. I changed the oil around 40 hours ago. Here's the question: When I check the oil, the dipstick shows clean oil on it. I expected it to be black, but it never is. Last week I actually...

In addition to my above question - I've seen both M20 and 3/4" NPT male as the size for a JD axle dipstick and the diy breathers folks have created. Does anyone know for sure the correct size? Is it relative to the front axle that's being used on the different years/models? Thanks!

Thank you for the info! Can i ask what model tractor you created this for?

I'm confused as heck. I've read about, and have experienced for myself, leaking front axles on John Deere 3 and 4 series tractors. I wanted to vent the front axle on my new-to-me 4520 and have seen after market dipsticks that have a vent (breather) in them. I stopped in my JD dealership to...

I'd like to find one for sale if anyone seen one around. They look like tanks.

Every year the company I work for part time, provides me a pool of money to buy tools I need to maintain and repair their property and building. Last year I bought some Stihl products for grounds maintenance. This year I'm looking at power tools. I've always been impressed with Milwaukee but...

My John Deere 3038e hydraulic oil was in the middle of the dip stick, so I decided I'd add a little Champion 4000 hydraulic oil (j20c compatible) to bring it up a little. Tractor has 175 hours on it, so assume it hasn't been changed ever, or since 50 hour checkup. Did I do a bad thing mixing JD...

Anyone know what size the snap ring is for the top seal? I'd like to pick up a generic but don't know the size. JD40M7179

I took my starter to NAPA auto parts store and they had a replacement for $130. Offered no cheaper replacement..

Here's the actual starter. I don't follow the posts after this one to be honest. The Oreily's in Omaha have no matching part number to v713431...

The solenoid is on top of the starter. It's a slanted down rectangle looking one

Looking for a part number for a starter for above tractor. Anyone able to help?

Anyone tell me what generic fluids/weights I can use for a Ford Transmission and the rear end?
