Hi everyone, I知 in the process of plumbing my 4 Spool BM40 Valve. I知 running 3/8 lines to my implements. I will be supplying the hydraulic fluid from the power beyond on my 2004 JD4210. My question is, will a 3/8 line from the power beyond supply enough fluid? Also, with 3/8 line, will I have...

I am looking to see if anyone can recommend a wash chemical for the tractor, vehicles & house that lifts all the grime & leaves a squeaky clean surface & no road film whatsoever? I have used it in the past but the supplier is no longer in business. The hardware & box store chemicals all leave a...

Getting ready to buy a new battery for my JD4210 & wondered if John Deere fixed the leaking acid situation from when I bought my tractor in 2004. I would prefer the Strongbox but am timid that they might still leak? Any experiences? Thanks

Have a Cub that when I move the hydrostatic foot levers, it gives a moaning sound & vibration. It won't move forward or back. Anyone had this problem before & find a fix.

My buddy called and asked if I could help him change the starter in his Argo 6x6 with a Briggs 18hp Vangard. When I took a look I figured I would need to stand on my head and be more than double jointed :). I removed the shield around it (working with a mirror) and can't for the life of me see...

On my 6 foot PTO Snowblower, I'm not comfortable with how to keep the auger chain lubed properly because it seems because it's exposed, the snow washes the lubrication off. When I'm done blowing & look at the chain it is very shiny which indicates metal on metal wear. Is this something I need to...

I'm strongly considering cutting off the feet on my new to me used blower. Does most of the collective still use the feet or remove for better cleanup?? Thanks, Eric

Hello Gang....I just bought an aftermarket Snowblower with a cable chute rotator & sure would like to modify this to hydraulics. My question & request for ideas is has anyone did a hydraulic conversion to a design like in the attached pic?? Thanks a bunch, Eric

I've got an opportunity to buy a used 72" JRW Snowblower that needs repair. Are these generally a good piece or should I wait for another. Thanks!!

I am preparing a major service on my 4210 & I was about to order the transmission suction screen #YZ81443 & went wow when I see the canadian price of $51.00. Does anyone know if I can just clean this screen or should I bite the bullet & pay the price for a new unit. What say you wise TBN...

I have a 3rd SCV Kit coming for my 4210 & am a bit confused when I read the operating manual. This will be in preparation for a Snowblower next year & my Logsplitter that I currently have. The manual states that when I move the lever forward one port is energized and when I move the lever back...

Hoping that someone has had the same problem & can help. I follow the procedure in the manual for engaging the rear PTO with the operator off the seat but when I pull the PTO knob the engine shutsdown. E-Hydro in Neutral, Operator on Seat, Park Brake Engaged & RPM to 1500. Operator stands up &...

I am curious as to what type of fluid most Jinma Wood Chipper owners use in the gearbox that controls the hydraulic feed. Thanks

I have a 3ph Log Splitter and although it has a 5" I-Beam, it doesn't have any way to keep the log from rolling off the beam while I am splitting the piece. I need to fabricate a rack system so when I load the log, it stays centered on the I-Beam. Looking for your suggestions or pictures of...

Asking for help from anyone who owns this Brush Cutter, who works on them or might have a link to a Parts Breakdown for this unit. Can anyone help, I have searched the web in vain & my local repair shop said "good luck that's discontinued". Thanks in advance, Eric

About 10 years ago when I was in the Tool Business I bought a 20Ltr Pail of Vehicle Wash Soap that was "awesome". I would mix the solution with water in a pesticide sprayer & spray on my truck then pressure wash the solution off & I'm telling you the surface was squeaky clean without any film or...

I am wondering what is involved in watching TV on your Computer. I have heard of it but am totally in the dark as to how & what's involved. Would you please offer feedback with positives & negatives. Do you have to have a special subscription or can you hook into your local cable provider? Your...

Anyone heard anything that the 110TLB might be available with a Cab this year or in the near future ??

Ok guys, what's the scoop?? How about filling us in on your experiences with the new factory cabs coming on the new tractors. Let us know the positives & negatives. What about heat & A/C, do they both work to your expectations. Pics would be great as well. On a personal note, I asked about a...

Can anyone suggest a good site for Chevy Truck Owners. When I search I end up finding corporate sites which are not as helpful as sites like TBN. I have an 05 Silverado 1500 Gas. There are some good diesel sites as well but again not really what I'm looking for. Can anyone help??

Would appreciate some advise. I am making an office area & in that office area I need electrical boxes. I have installed 3 doubles & my question is regarding the grounds. I have 14/2 coming into the box & at that point I have taken the ground & wrapped it on the box screw. Do I need to run a...

When our house was built in the 70's the contractor layed approx a 65' drainage pipe from the basement down over the front of the property. This pipe picks up the overflow from the drainage tile around the foundation as well as grey water from the clothes washer and basement sink. About twice a...

I have been preparing my site for a driveway parking area. I now have the trees cut & most of the stumps dug out & hauled away. I also have removed a considerable amount of rock, the football,basketball & larger size ones. I am now getting to the point where I need to calculate the grade &...

I own a JD4210 & I'm considering some sort of rock bucket that I would drag. The reason to drag the attachment is that my loader just doesn't have the power to pick up a lot of the rock I need moved. Another reason is that I'm starting to "beat up" my bucket on the FEL because the rocks are...

When operating my 47 Hoe and using the stabilizers for support, I find that I constantly have to pressure down the stabilizers with the levers because they lose pressure. No, they are not sinking into the soil, they just lose pressure. Once I set them, on probably my 6th scoop, I find the...

This past weekend I caught a rock which in turn broke the hydraulic steering shaft rod on my 4210. I've attached a pic & I'm curious as to whether any other 4000 series owners have had any problems here & also if anyone has made any mods to make this system better. At $834 Cdn, I'm racking my...

My Kodiak 6' Landscape Rake needs something other than blocks of wood to hold it in position. What have you folks designed/fabricated ?? Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks, Eric

There has been discussion regarding the non-compatibility of attachments with the JD I-Match system. Well, now I'm involved !! I purchased a Kodiak 6' Landscape Rake & my I-Match will not fit. The attached pic shows that the hitch pins are not wide enough (cannot get lynch pins in holes) and the...

Curious is any of you folks load your tractor on the trailer backwards ?? With my JD4210/420 Loader & 47 Hoe, I am curious if I should load it backwards to give more tongue weight & less chance of a sway issue. I guess I should mention that the trailer is no longer than it should be (13')...

I'm looking to add a lift hook to my JD47 BackHoe for general purpose lifting. My first thought was to weld one on the bucket then felt that it probably would get in the way so my next thought was on the bracket that pivots the bucket. Ok, what are your suggestions ?? Thanks, Eric

Has anyone had any experience in converting regular flashers to strobe. When driving down the road I see that public works trucks have their tail lights converted from traditional flashers to dual or quad strobe style blinking. On my JD4210 it has 1156 Bulbs in the light assemblies that are...

I own a JD4210 with a Yanmar Diesel & I'm wondering if anyone has installed an add-on safety system to prevent engine damage if there was a problem. When running the tractor there are times that I'm not in the seat & therefore not able to keep a close eye on the guages/lights. To give me peace...

I'm attaching a picture of the water pump at the house that's giving me trouble. My wife called & said we've got a "bad" leak today so went home early to find the small plug that the guage would normally screw into was leaking, the plug had corroded. For the last couple weeks I had a drip at the...

I'm attaching a picture of my chainsaw chain. Would you folks give me a Chainsaw Chain 101 Class ?? I've read threads on here about different style chains & different angles. I cut about a 50/50 mix of hardwood & softwood & sizes from 1" to 12". I also was told by someone about cutting the stub...

Has anyone modified their FEL for Spreading Sand. I can't justify a dedicated spreader therefore I'm looking for ideas. I'm thinking about a possible "edge" that would bolt or clamp on in front of the cutting edge of the FEL and that it would have a gap, say 3/4". When I tilt the bucket, the...

Curious as to whether anyone has any hydraulic tools or accessories that you run from your tractor. When a tree trimmer contractor came & trimmed some branches with his bucket truck, I noticed that the chain saw was operated by hydraulics & thought it was a real neat setup. That got me thinking...

Attached is a picture of a plan I've got to build a tree root cutter attachment that will go on the end of my JD47 Backhoe in place of the bucket. I'm posting this to ask for any feedback or ideas you might share with me. My problem is that I've got quite a few stumps to remove & I struggle...

Help..... On my 4210 the serial number is mounted on the right front frame. In my automotive days, the serial number has told the details of the design of the car & I'm thinking that the serial number should give me the details on my tractor but I don't know the sequence on how to read the...

I've done internet searches as well as on the banditchippers.com website & cannot find an operators manual anywhere. Has anyone seen a manual anywhere that I could download ?? I'm renting a Bandit90 next week & wanted to familiarize myself with the operation of it before I picked it up. I'm...

When I'm using my tractor such as with the FEL, but not using my hoe, I find that my hoe will "leak down" to the point where if I don't turn around & pull the lever, it will eventually drag on the ground. Does anyone know if there is a bulletin from JD to fix this because the JD tech tells me...

Maybe you'll feel this is an off the wall request but I'm wondering if anyone has built a blade attachment that would either take the place of a backhoe bucket or attach to the backhoe bucket. When we have a lot of snow here, I've got my favorite spots to pile (with a bank on the back side) &...

Guys & Gals... I've posted in the Safety Forum about how important it is to be wearing hearing protection & here in this forum I'm attaching a .jpg of my hearing report a couple weeks ago. I would ask the TBN Members to take a look at this report & explain what it shows & what their...

Guys & Gals...... I write this post as an effort to express to you how important it is to wear hearing protection when working with/on or around your tractor. I've had the "I'm Invincible" attitude for too many years & now I'm paying the price !! After years of neglect (as well as racing cars) I...

Hello folks..... I went to wire my "Non John Deere" Worklights to my JD4210 tonite & found that the factory harness connector is a new style connector (pic attached) & I don't have anything like it in my parts assortment. What are you guys doing here ??? Are you buying a proper harness connector...

I've searched the web but I'm real interested as to what real life experiences you folks have encountered regarding burning wood chips. We do not burn wood as our primary source of heat, just use it when we get the -25/-30C temperatures as well as any power outages. It would be a great option to...

When I was waiting in the grocery store for my daughter to get off work, I picked up & bought a magazine called Shopnotes (www.shopnotes.com). I've been looking for magazines & discussion groups relating to the workshop. I "play" with both metal & wood (no where close to a pro) and if any of you...

I'm looking for your help with my construction of a parking area. I've attached a pic to help you to see what I'm doing. The area will be 40' deep & 50' wide. When you look at the pic, I'll be clearing the trees lying down as well as cutting down & removing another 6-8. I've already removed...

I notice that sometimes to explain something that was posted, an attachment as a "print screen" is posted. I used the print screen option years ago with dos but I didn't think that option was available with windows. I use XP & have not seen any shotcut/fastkey option to do a print screen. Is...

Can someone lead me to a good website that will give me weight specs for gravel/rock/sand as well as dimensions for as an example a yard of material. Also I'm looking for calculations for area, an example would be that if I want to fill an area of a particular size, how do I calculate how much...

Followup to Post \"FEL or Rear Blade\" Well, about a month ago I posted "FEL or Rear Blade" because I was having trouble with the Fill that I got when the government was ditching our road in preparation for paving. Thanks to all who responded. Henro's comment/advise was to let it dry out and...

I'd like your opinion on how you feel the best way to move this fill into my low area and smooth out. I got free fill when the government decided to re-pave our road and they ditched along the road. I find I can't push it forward because of traction problems and the FEL won't lift very much...

Loss of Hyd Pressure \"Too Fast\" ?? I've got a 4210 with 420 FEL & 47 BH and when I'm done playing, whoops, I mean working & put it back in the garage; within about 2 hours, the loader & hoe are on the floor. I don't think that hyd pressure should be bleeding off that fast. Is this common ...

Has anyone installed a thumb on a JD47 Backhoe ?? Eric

Has anyone installed a thumb on a JD47 Backhoe ??? Eric

Has anyone heard of a "wax" or similar product that I could coat the inside of my bucket so that when I'm moving snow in the winter, the packed snow doesn't stick to the inside of the bucket causing me to only to get 1/2 scoops ??? I have heard that there is a product available but can't find...

Last winter when moving snow in my 500' slight uphill crushed rock driveway I found myself sliding backwards down the drive on the ice with next to no control. There were even situations where the tractor would not pull itself up with the diff locked. (no load) I decided that chains were in...

I have a JD47 Backhoe Attachment and am wondering if there is a joystick upgrade for the hydraulic controls (2 Levers) or is there an aftermarket upgrade available for this unit ?? Anybody see anything ??? Thanks !!
