I use to find it amazing that people are still attacked by alligators. That was my feelings until I was at Sanibel Island the same week when that Woman was attacked by a 12(ft?) gator. What amazed me was the speed inwhich the gator can attack. I guess a quick flick of it's tail will launch...

Didn't have the correct change.

Saw this on another BBS: Nu-Air Solid Tires I can image what a flat would do to ruin a weekend of seat time.

Curious if drive (V-pulley) belts are sold with different grades or strength. I was looking at the selection at my local TSC store and I could not determine if a belt is rated in some way. The only difference was the base material used in its construction and of course it's price. I own a...

Two of my local JD dealers are very reluctant to issue (request) case numbers on problems I found in the online JD parts system. In researching the pns for mating connectors I have come across missing PNs and wrong PNs on the WEB site. My first attempt to notify JD was via their Corporate...

I was wondering if www.deereparts.com had a menu that for a given connector part number, it would provide the mating connector's part number. There are a few connectors in the main wiring harness that mates with connector "B" but "B" is not sold separately. At least it does not show up in the...

I was wondering if anyone has come across a cheaper 40amp alternator for the X595 (Yanmar) diesel engine. The JD upgrade for $400 is too much.

Over the weekend I was swapping out my 54in mowing deck for the winter. This was the first time I'd ever removed my deck. I lowered the deck and removed the shaft drive. I then raised the deck and set the cut height to 5in, per the manual. So far so good, The instructions say to rotate the...

Are these new garden tractors by John Deere? I noticed they appeared in the JD parts catalog while I was searching for a PN.....mmmm......

I just received my front blade, front hitch and angle unit for my X595. Nice equipment, Some newbee questions: - During the off season do you store the front hitch attached to the blade (as one unit) or separate them and store separately? I was thinking about recycling a motorcycle lift (the...

Looking ahead to winter and snow...... I have been struggling with a decision on which to buy. Johnny Bucket www.johnnybucket.com or the Superior Scoop www.superior-tech.com The John Deere 45 loader is out of the question due to cost. I own a X595 and will use of for snow removal and...

....Something I read about diesel specific antifreeze, I'm having a hard time accepting this explanation of cavitation but obviously it happens, or does it? from www.ford-trucks.com ------------------------cut here------------------------- Excuse me if I seem a little dense today, alot...

After mowing today I was blowing the grass off the tractor. I noticed under the engine an oil drip. Closer inspection shows it is the steering cylinder leaking at the rod end cover via the rod seal. Probably not a big deal (warranty) but still the "awl-shoot" factor of owning a new tractor...

Does anyone know what the thread is on a X595's oil drain plug? The Deere PN is M806544. Unfortunately the on-line parts does not tell me the diameter and thread pitch of the drain plug. Does anyone know? thanks

The picture says it all...... http://www.dnj.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050702/NEWS01/507020302/1002

I feel the dark side pulling me in......to a 2210 (Darth 2210?) After searching and reading posts on comparisons most posts leaned towards the 2210 but I know several TBN'rs went with the X595 instead. It couldn't be due to price or capabilities, seems like the 2210 beats the X595 in both...

I just saw a posting on Ebay by a dealer that said JD is offering multiyear free financing on the X series. I checked deere.com and could not find anything about it. see list # 3982296051 on Ebay Has anyone else seen this offer?

After mowing grass for ~ 2hrs I decided to take a break. I returned to my tractor within 10minutes and started it. Without warning the idle would not settle down, similar to a rpm "surging" effect. Speed up then drop, repeat. The only way to keep the rpm steady was to give it a full throttle...

Which TBN'r is responsible for this operation? http://www.caledonianrecord.com/pages/picture_of_the_day/story/006c44f69

Seems like a great deal for someone: http://www.auto-rv.com/default.asp?area=browsedetail&ADName=1-293652 text: NEW FARM PRO 4040 4WD, 40 hp. Perkins diesel 3 cyl., 2 sp., PTO, canopy. $7,999

Looks like a quick way to spend a few $$$s, What a little brut! http://www.struckcorp.com/index.html Has anyone seen or use one?

http://www.wthr.com/Global/story.asp?S=3234075&nav=9TahYs8f Very Sad,

Today\'s Mystery Part I found on my 54in Mower Deck Today after mowing I was cleaning off my mower deck of grass clippings. I found this "washer" underneath the forward pulley on top of the 54in deck. It was just lying there loose. It's about the size of a 50 cent piece with 'barbs' around...

I'm surprised JD or some smart designer doesn't create an accessory that uses the forward crankshaft 'stub'. A nice alternator for additional 12v power would be nice. Just sticks out there saying "use me please"! Curious if JD or someone else has used this for an accessory PTO.

I was taught to pump in grease until it (appears) begins to push out near a joint. Is this true or do you completely flush the older grease out with the newer grease? Seems like a waste to completely replace the grease in the assembly. For mowing desk spindles etc. how much grease do I need...

enjoy!

I was reading a thread over at BITOG on magnetic pre-filters. There appears to be two types available. http://www.emergingent.com/magnefine/force_field.htm http://www.wetstart.com/prod_magdog.htm Both of them are placed in front of your normal spin-on filter. It appears they divert a small...

Link Take a close look at the picture. I can't remember the last time I saw palm trees in Central Indiana.

What would I expect to pay for the two or three bag powerflow bagging system? I have a 54in deck on my X485 tractor. Do I need to buy the quick detach bracket(s) to mount the system? I searched the JD site and could not find retail prices for this accessory. thanks

Hello, My research for a new tractor has narrowed down to the BX1500 as a possible choice. Based on what I have learned in this forum, I feel this is the best for my immediate application (mowing smooth grounds). I'm curious to hear from any long term BX1500 owners. Are you happy with your...

Hello, If your hydrostatic drive fluid does not get contaminated by moisture, dirt, etc. will it wear out? I have examined (visually) the fluid and it does not appear 'milky' or clouded etc. Appears to look just like the new fresh stuff in the bottle. Apart from appearance, are there...

My Honda of 14yrs is getting old. I'm looking at several Kubota models that offer both diesel and gas engines as options. I've never owned a diesel before. Is it a high maintenance item or can I expect it to be free of problems and such? Obviously there are more moving parts (injection vs...
