Thank you for past responses. J Deere 4300, 2001 model, 1100 hours 1. Starting problem. Had no start problem 9-10 years ago, and it resolved itself. Now, have had the issue again, intermittently. Turn the key, cranks like a bandit, no start. Keep trying and eventually fires up and runs...

My 2001 JD 4300 cruise control stopped working. The switch will not engage and the normal green indicator does not light up. How do I trouble shoot? The manual has an electrical check list, but the location of the respective components is not shown, and it looks complicated.

When changing filter, or cleaning screen, does the hydraulic start flowing out, or just what's in the filter?

My JDeere 4300 compact utility tractor's fuel gauge went bonkers today. I noticed upon starting that the fuel gauge was flipping around, and after a few minutes it settled down with the needle probably 180 degrees from a correct reading, that is pointing down way past the full mark. Turning...

It's a little cold outside. 20F. Recently, I have had a problem starting the tractor. It cranks fine, but doesn't start. Tried the manifold heater. Nada. After turning the start switch on and off a few times, I then cranked it and it started right up. I was thinking that the fuel solenoid...

The plow works great but the control stops working occasionally when pushing hard, especially with a big load in front of the plow. It returns to normal after about 1-2 minutes. Is there an overload device on the hydraulics? Is it adjustable?

4300 service manual says change engine oil and filter every 200 hours, which seems a little long. I use high grade synthetic oil, but tend to change it after 100 hours or so. It also says change hydraulic oil (HST) every 200 hours, which seems totally unnecessary. The hydraulic oil and...

Husqvarna GTH2550XP - 25 hp - 50" cut I'm trying to help a neighbor with this lawn tractor. The engine won't turn over and perhaps the starter is bad. I need to check the battery cables and battery, but is the starter also the generator? Assuming we can get it started, the next problem is...

I need to replace the seals on the bucket curl cylinders, and have ordered parts. The loader was built in 2001 and has a higher serial number (017xxx), as I know they changed the design a few times. I see that the cylinder has a spring ring on the end, but I can't understand how it comes...

Oil leak from rear side of front axle pivot. Possibly leaking seal? How is pivot lubed? Axle oil? Possibly pinion seal bad. How difficult is axle assembly removal? How about seals?

I have been looking at electromagnetic and ultrasonic devices to chase away mice from house and garage. There are great testimonials from the advertisers, and all sorts of claims, but the government agencies say these devices don't work for their intended purpose which is as a rodent repellent...

We have a derelict Syracuse Chilled Plow at the local Stickley Museum, and want to ascertain its age to determine if it's original to the property. The cross bar and moldboards say Syracuse, and I've learned that J. Deere took them over in 1910, but also understand they used the Syracuse name...

My neighbor has a propane fueled 30 KW Kohler with less than 400 running hours. We just had a 6 day power shutdown, and the generator was working fine until it shut down due to loss of oil pressure. It was down over 2 quarts on a 4-5 quart crankcase. The spec. says 5W-30 synthetic oil. The...

I was changing the oil and noticed the right rear axle shaft rubber boot had broken. Is this an easy repair.? It looks like you have to compress the spring and then remove the wheel hub to get the axle shaft free of the differential, where I assume there is a spline connection. There is grease...

I have a motor with a 6 volt generator and separate regulator, with a 6 volt negative ground battery. I had trouble with no charging, and had the generator and regulator tested by a qualified repair service. I was told everything was okay. I replaced the equipment, polarized the generator...

Perhaps this has been discussed before, but didn't find it. My 4300 hood is cracking around the fuel tank door, and more seriously in the hood latch area. The metal latch components are attached to a molded in "bracket", and there is now a crack extending the full width of the latch area, on...

I just finished putting new seals in my 4300 front axles, which started leaking a few weeks ago, first the right, and now the left(2001 tractor with 593 hours). The dealer service manager told me that if I don't use the proper level of ballast to counteract the front loader weight, they will...

I determined that my tractor has the ball bearing front axle with a snap ring to hold it together, and so replacing the seal should be easy. The first I thing I noticed upon draining the oil was that it was milky, suggesting some moisture in the front axle, but surely not much, as there is no...

I have a 2001 JD 4300 with 4wd. I just noticed the right front wheel is showing oil leaking down the outside of the rim. I haven't had a closer look yet, but it seems it can only be the seal on the steering housing pivot or the axle shaft. Is this a common problem? Is it repairable in my home...

I have a 6hp Briggs, flathead type engine, about 7 years old. The engine runs well, but is difficult to start. I replaced the carburetor with a brand new one, and also replaced the primer bulb. It starts and runs perfectly if I squirt some gas in the intake. I then checked the primer bulb and...

My JD 4300 has a 430 loader and a backhoe. If I buy a snow blade attachment for the loader, can I somehow use the rear hydraulic piping to power the angling on the plow, or do I have to get the power beyond option? Also, is there a high capacity battery that fits properly? The original...
