Hello readers, I am at a dead end. With warm weather finally at the house. I decided to swap engines from the 4100 gear driven ( rear end went out ) and the 4100 HST ( Middle piston went after a loaner used ether on it.) Simple enough swap. Both engines would crank and run. A few days ago I...

luck would have on a traffic detour I stumbled across a John Deere M 49 or 50?? Which my Pops has been wanting to get for 30 years. It was hiding amongst a few Allis Charms.. the owner was not a "Green" man has he said..but the M came with a lot of AC's! Now it's all mine after a .5 mile test...

This is for a buddy who inherited a JD 4100HST at his new job. Who ever worked it before, for some reason pulled the safety wires off the prongs under the seat left side ( the Safety Switch and HydFluid level sensor ) and bridged the wires and taped them up. What he discovered was : The Unit...

Some of you might remember I was forced by John Deere last Sept to pay out over $2000 to get part number AM880071. Well the new part was installed in November ( after surgery ) and I was calling in monthly to say something was wrong with the specs.. it kept coming loose from the axle. They...

Is there a section on here for selling only? Wishing to share one that is for sale for an old farmer

apology for the delayed reply.. I didnt get the email alert that someone had replied.. so to sum up what has transpired. the compound used that was suppose to be water resistant and usable up to 1000F..well some water got splashed on it about an hr before we re-installed it and the stuff just...

ok 3rd attempt to show what I have done to repair the radiator

details: 4100 was overheating.. which was odd since I had it flushed back in DEC. I look inside with a endoscope and see the tops of the corp tubes were clogged up. Thus took it out and that was it for the night.. let it drain over night and check the bottom. However a family member thought they...

yes I need to do that, but I will have to wait until I can run across some heavy rubber flap... especially after what I did today... yep.. I held out for almost a full 24 hrs.. but in the end.. I had to make it so it would also work on the FEL.

Finally get to add pics to this awesome thread. Over the summer I found a sweet deal on a JD Blade for the 4100,, complete set up...It did awesome for our first snow a few weeks ago.. so much so a neighbor who handles the property management of the local food lion about a 1/4 mile away asked if...

going full desperate here. Lost the nut to my Pivot Trim weeder head. AWESOME item with the right line. It takes a left threaded nut and no one in my area carries them. I googled all week and had no results except to purchase a new one. Anyone out there have one and the means to verify the...

Seeking replacement rims for the front of my 4100 so I can mount 23X8.50-12 Deestone 6P Super Lug Tires AG DS5241. The current rims are the narrow factor tires for AG

As noted in a post a month back I lucked into 2 314s for free... Finally got one back together and mowed for awhile.. but as I returned to the shed oil started pouring.. it was the seal behind the flywheel. Installed it yesterday, ran for a few mins..all was good.. went to mow today and nada...

I started a thread a few weeks ago regarding two 314's I lucked into. Honestly surprised that no one bothered to look. Since these are suppose to be in high demand!! 1 had a non original engine bolted to the frame and did not use the factory mounts. The other, better conditioned one was fully...

Nothing fancy... but I acquired this two 314's over the past few weeks ( one today ) First one was free, Original owner was unable to finish...sold to a friend who into traded it to me for welding..was missing a PTO...so I rounded up the second one today for $300. Had the deck, seat and PTO I...

found a 314 for parts. Engine is not the original.. needs a starter. The JD PTO would not fit the shaft. But other than that..I am told he ran back in DEC. So from it I will transfer the seat, mowing deck and pto to the freebie and I will have a mower. This one, I will fab a seat, and add a...

Finally got time to run over and bring the 314 home. So the full story, Original Owner was going to restore... stroke, bed ridden... so inherits and decides he doesn't want it.. sells to his friend for $200 not the $500 that was mentioned. His friend is my College buddy and fellow...

Seeking knowledge assistance ( Meds have my memory flakey ) regarding a briggs 5 hp horizontal. Friday night.. discovered that some while in dry storage outta the rain.. the engine had water in it..( suspect perv neighbor ) so I drained, flushed with oil twice and suction, then added fresh...

I've done a search with no results int he forums. So I'm asking here. As anyone fab'ed their own tiller tines. I'm running a HOWSE 54" 3pt tiller. After 16 years they are down to the nub. Recently learned they are neigh impossible to get from HOWSE due to their legal battles at the moment...

So.. A friend of mine bought a 314 for home and garden..only issue was the prior owner had disassembled it to have it restored. Also told him it needed a new Harmonic balancer.. which I don't see..since my Jim Dandy runs the exact 14hp Kohler and the 322 we had back in the 90's didnt have one...

Any suggestions of the best place to get tiller tines? I run a 54 inch tiller, probably sees 20 hrs of use a year. After 16 yrs of use.. the tines have fallen fatigued and breaking off

Really bad day for my 4100 HST.. Rear PTO Popped while chipper shredder was reducing RPMS. Sad part is... The original PTO shaft went about 10 years ago..$100 fix..now it's upwards of $800 plus.due to them changing the PTO shaft supplier. The good thing for the moment.. I've replaced the cover...

The issue : The threaded end of the ram arm on my log splitter has wore down. As well as the inner threats of the cast bolt yoke. The ram is good, no sense is replacing it. My thoughts are to heat the threaded section with the OxyAcy Rosebud...mushroom it out against the yoke and then throw...

I have a 1974 Jim Dandy that came with a single wire AC Delco Alternator on it. In replacing the tranny the nut has vanished. I've tried both Metric and SAE nuts that I had in my shop with no luck. It seems to be a really odd size. I believe it is the same type use on Chevy Camaros Vegas Novas...

A buddy emailed this pic to me but failed to send link to the page.. he clears his history nightly and we have been unable to find it again using the same search. Attempting to ID the grapples

I was given a block heater for the Ole 4100 ( reside in NW NC and it's hit in the teens the last few years ) as a Birthday gift. One issue. I refuse to pay John Deere $100 + for a simple adapter flange to screw the heating element into. Has anyone found it located else where for MUCH less or...

Here it is ...I have a video uplaoding to youtube..once ready will post link...

Mitch I will try to get a video tomorrow if time allows. Mean while here is a pic taken from their page

March of 2014 My alternator started getting flakey on the 4100. So after much research and advice from members on here with a similar issue. I ordered a replacement from total-power-parts on Ebay. This past weekend I replaced the glow plugs and decided to give the old Greenie a once over while...

I just watched a EVERYTHINGATTACHMENTS video where the tiller had limited slip so that a rock would not cause damage etc. I have a 16yr old HOWSE that does the job. But with more and more people renting me out. I was curious if there is an upgrade for this limited slip or if anyone made one...

Crazy thought. While plowing a neighbor's garden this morning. Across the road a crew was using a ditch witch to lay fiber. They had a sub soiler with the pto driven box that makes the rig shake for ease of plowing. Which got me to thinking. As anyone done or thought of doing this for mold...

Any suggestions or methods of repair?

So last week I went to do my weekly crank and system checks on the Jim Dandy. Fired up right away, was running great. Temp was about 20F Gears are free, hydraulics ok..let it run for about 4 mins..then STOPPAGE>. what? go to crank it back up...turns very slow..first thought was engine ...but its...

So I am moving implements around today..and I was pondering your challenge. I use a pto drive powered sickle mower with a belt to the bar..which allows me via hydraulics to angle the bar straight up for ( trimming low branches, hedges, limbs etc or go negative for banks...) then it hit me..can...

I've been trying to find something similar to what I saw on that FEL bucket years ago. This is the closest I could get

this is exactly like mine OLD SCHOOL

My goal was that anything that I have that can fit the 3pt hitch on the rear will work on the front. ex: yard/rock rake now can be used on the front as well, subsoiler as well..great when ripping roots from a bank and then raking it..

Couple years ago I found a working Ditch Witch J20 Mechanical Trencher at the local scrap yard. Clutch went out a year later. I use it from time to time by starting in gear or just using creeper mode. But of late.. I've been pondering the idea of mounting the trencher on a quick connect for the...

beenthere you did nearly the same thing I did on my FEL

I nabbed the pictured pump at the local scrap yard for $10! Free turning etc. I found the company web page but no real details, I gathered it produces a lot of PSI at low rpm. Thus I am thinking a new pump for my log splitter build. Anyone know about this one ?

Anyone have a clue who made this and any pics etc?

Made it back down today..nothing had came in...but the Gents set these two items aside for me..Grinder goes for $210 light $159 locally... I spent $12 ( charged it as 29 lbs of metal)

today's find.. local Mill/weld shop closing up and moving..dumping all they can at the scrap yard...this haul $33.00

Thought ya'll would enjoy this. Pops came up with his back in 1999, been using ever since. Perfect for lining up round stock of wood, metal, etc for placing a straight hole or pass thru to the other side in alignment

I am debating a new project. A home built rear pto driven spader. (see attached link) My thoughts are..2 crank shafts from a inline 6 cyclinder, use the push rods with spades brazed on. Tie the crank shafts into a limited slip rear end for power from the pto...any thoughts...

Oh what the heck..thought I would share two images : Goal was to have a tool platform that could handle anything that we had that went with the rear 3 pt each. Finishing it up tomorrow. but here is two images showing the lower half right after mounting it

Had a great haul today!! Hauled off scrap metal. Used funds paid to get this from scrap yard Tiller, chipper, 22ft werner ladder, 8 tpost They paid $130 for my scrap, I paid $80 for the items listed and 4 batteries that were worthless. Which I sold to the local battery guy for $28! yep I can...

I thought this the best place to start a new thread about getting the best deal on used parts. Today I raked in 2 3way spools, work lights and a beacon. Bonus 10hp Wisconsin. Total invested $21. leaving the scrap yard..they toss an old battery in the trailer since I was going to the...

The nightmare returns. Last night during the clearing of all the snow...Lights worked great until about 20mins prior from stopping for the night. They just stopped..everything else kept working. So today I start checking everything. 1: from switch to fuse 12v+ 2: switch thru fuse to connection...

Simple question. Won 2013 model Poulan Chainsaw 50CC. And to my surprise...thing ran like a champ for the past 6 or so months.. let someone borrow it..and they ran ethanol mixed gas it ( I always ran pure high test gas) now the Kaputs!! If it sets for a few days , choke and pull..it runs great...

If there is already a thread...forgive me for starting a new one..doing this on the cell and while in class. I have a 4100 HYD. Need new tires. But the ones I find that match the numbers look nothing like the AG tires that came on it originally. I was forced to buy one after a blow out and it...

Before I learned that a JD 4100 can have additional hydraulics added to it. This was our solution for digging and trenching. Frame from scrap around the stockpile and the bucket was $37 at the local scrap yard.

Thought I would share a 45mins project I did today. The saw was one made by my Pops back in the 80's. The JD is the one I will be doing the Hydraulics Mods on. The shaft to the pulley attachment was found at the local Scrap yard for $1.35. The Pulley attachment came from a old sickle mower from...
