As long as you’re collecting opinions: I use the Three Bond formulation for aluminum cases whenever sealing up crankcase/transmission/axle sections that don’t use a gasket. They make several different grades/products so some product research is advisable. Some claim that Three Bond is the...

I had similar experience with this and other sites. Exactly what I needed to finally say goodbye to the Microsoft corporate abuse. Switched to Linux (Ubuntu shell), Firefox with strict privacy enabled, substituted Duck Duck Go and Brave search engines for Google and life became a whole lot...

As an FYI, helmets are available with settings that sense electronic magnetic pulses and the like. Where as my twin halogen stand light would trip the normal auto darken function, when switched to the “X” setting I can crank up the halogens and/or locate them very close to the work with no...

Sounds like you are having a great time…….. You mentioned the 48 VAC at the alternator, what’s your DC output at the voltage regulator (with a low battery---manual suggest it won’t output DC unless the battery is slightly drained)? I'm assuming its zero and that's what you're trying to run...

Water over the dam at this point, and it could just be the picture, but it looks like auto parts store might have sold you a tap, not a thread chaser. Chasers have very limited taper lead. Concept with a chaser is to pick up the existing thread vs cutting new one. Chaser on left, tap on...

Here's the Theory of Ops and Charging circuit description. You've stated you checked voltages. Suppose to have 50VAC unregulated out of the alternator and 12.4 to 13.8 Volts DC regulated . What you got?

Have you check outputs of alternator and voltage regulator with a meter? Like below has schematics, a few select test voltages. Click on the "Electrical Diag and Ops" illustration. https://www.greentractortalk.com/threads/4110-charging-issue.197322/

Used an X485 for a few years to snow-blow exclusively. It did that well; road was flat, no slopes. Certainly liked to consume copious quantities of gas. Didn’t like being cold soaked below 10 degrees; had a start up surging issue (fuel map) that Deere never was able to resolve. Components...

Someday I hope to be good enough to do scratch restarts on out of position small dia round tubes and maintain a quality bead.

Never TIG welded before and considering starting with something round, thin walled and made out of stainless…...I wish you luck.

“Yo-Yo” or Spot Delivery Financing Do a search on Yo-Yo or Spot Delivery Financing. Looks like an all too often practice in the shadier side of car sales. Not saying it necessarily applies in your case, but the similarities are a tad disturbing. Good luck

Knowing what area of the country you live might increase the utility of the advice for snowfall removal. You’ve got a walk behind blower, so you know the joys of trying to remove high water content snow/slush when the temps are hovering at around freezing. A back blade/rear blade on a sub...

The four possibilities that come to mind, in order of likelihood: --Aftermarket belt is incorrect length/shape. --Belt misrouted --Pulley’s replaced with incorrect diameter substitutes --Axle to engine distance has been altered Seems to me acquiring an OEM belt and comparing dimension to the...

Have zippo familiarity with your brand, but to build on the above post.... If indeed you have a 3 wire, 2 coil solenoid, the symptom you describe might indicate both coils are staying active. A typical starting sequence has power to both coils for only a few seconds. Both coils are needed to...

Part of the community college CNC machining program I took as a later in life “wanna do” was sharpening twist drill. Also had to make a gauge to measure both 118 degree grind angle and length of each lip/chisled face. Not rocket science but did take some time infront of a grinder (with a bucket...

Assume this is one of the vintage B&S 12s from the 80s/90s? If so consider adding a a replacement oil slinger to your search/shopping list. Whatever nylon/acetal//et al B&S used wasn't designed for a 30 year life span. They erode away to the point some become more oil frothers than...

Some conflicting info out there about Moog 410 u joints being an acceptable substitution for the OE M802832—they aren’t. Key difference is the retaining clip location OE uses clips that attach to cup itself (see groove in second pic below), where the Moog is designed so the retainer is installed...

Yea, was thinking about that when I mounted the boxes, so each box is attached via a pair of threaded studs welded to the QC so they could be removed. I find the QH itself is what gets in the way; the two smaller chain boxes are pretty irrelevant. I wind up laying on my back to connect the PTO...

Almost 20 years with a Speedco. Painted JD Green and chain boxes added. Has held up just fine, no issues. An occasional shot of lube in the linkages and some black tape round the plastic grips. 40945]

For MIG work, unlined Black Stallion Mighty Migs. Can choose material, pig/cow sometimes deer skin. Prefer unlined gloves for the added flex. Good longevity to price ratio. For TIG a thin pair of deerskins.

What's broken? Where? Something seriously bent out of alignment? Piece of 1/8in plate or a 1/4in thick gusset? Crack or broken previous weld? Got a Pic or better description of the problem available? Don't want to put the welding cart, full or undersized, before the horse so to...

In addition to all the above... Lots of water pump housings have a weep hole. When the bearing seals start to fail, a small amount (at first) of anti freeze will begin seeping from the hole. If no weep hole, the fluid will pass around the pully shaft on a sealed pump. To check clean/dry...

Do you use driveway markers? When you switch from blading to blowing, any excess blade will overhang the edge of your drive/cleared path. To avoid clipping tall markers they’ll need to be located progressively further (or driven in the ground lower) from the drive as the length of your blade...

When plumbing my latest workshop with air, I went out of my way and paid a premium for Milton products; fittings, regulators, oil/water separators, etc. Wanted to support a made in USA company. When synthetic compressor oil turned the bowl rings on the separators to mush, I called Milton trying...

When the broken stud is recessed, as in this one, I've had success by building up small beads, layer by layer, until it protrudes above the surface of the block/cylinder/whatever. Think momentary puddle with a tad of filler rod. Build it up bit by bit. TIG/Pedal control. Once enough...

Appears they're installed correctly. Design is a compromise at best. However, they do come off pretty easily; total of four clevis pins and a pair of pivot pins attaching points. If you do remove I’d recommend leaving the front set of clevis pins C installed and duct tape the rod turn links...

Here's a discussion of someone with a X585 no start. His cranked, but thread still has a discussion about starting conditions/wiring. Might be worth a review. Also has a copy of some relevant wiring schematics. https://www.mytractorforum.com/threads/help-john-deere-x585.1130073/

Given it’s been disassembled, problem(s) could be numerous. Two approaches I’d start with---maybe you’ve already done them. You have the shop manual, do you also have a multi meter? Start by looking for 12v at various points in the harness under start conditions. Will also need to check for...

Deere offers two scraper blades for their 47 inch blower, the M135649 (supersedes M122371) and a “heavy duty, Flat scraper blade (optional)M142881. The optional blade is about twice the price of the basic. Dealer had no idea what the difference in construction/materials is. Besides being flat...

Just helped a friend repair a log splitter where male fitting became cocked in the female bung of the hydraulic cylinder. Dropped a big piece of pine on the valve assembly (unprotected BTW) and it skewed the fitting about 30 degrees. The top two or three threads were smeared on one side of the...

The gentleman that started the below post had the older model blower and wound up making a part for it. Lots of good pics of that particular model, illustrations, parts schematics and actual photos. Might help you determine which one you have...

Never been under the hood of a 790, so consider that when you read the following. The 790 schematic looks very similar to the one for 4100/4010/4110/4115. If indeed Yamnar used the same logic in the 790, then widen your search and look at the info posted on TBN for the same issue on those...

There is a control box located under the 4100 seat which integrates all the safety interlock switches. If the switches are in the correct position and the key is moved to the start position, voltage is sent to the fuel solenoid. It sends two signals. The first output last in the neighborhood of...

Resurrecting a lawn system that hasn’t been used in 5 years. So far so good, but one question about interchangeability of Rain Bird Solenoids. There’s a bunch of conflicting info out there. Need to replace some solenoids, DV 100 control valves. Original P/N is 20858801, aka RPKSOLENOI on Rain...

Confirmed that the illustration posted above is for a 2305. Tried to find pics of a new fan carrier (Deere calls it a Bracket, Fan Boss Weldment P/n LVA801007, no joy. Only found pics someone had posted where his input shaft broke. It shows the remains of a fan, the drive shaft splines and...

Based on discussion in other threads, it sounds like the fan carrier (part number 10) may be splined. If so, and its spinning, either its moved forward/back (part number 9 looks like snap rings to hold the fan carrier in place) off the splines or one set of the splines are stripped. I...

See you haven’t received any comments, so here’s mine. All subjective, based on noting more than what I’d do......you can look at the web for sale ads as well as I can. If I walked into a JD dealership and was given the choice between a new X500 series and a 4100, gear, with under 600 hours...

Loctite makes a series of adhesives (680/660/others) some have used to "repair" bearing seats and the like. I've used 680 on a spun snowmobile crank bearing with good results. It might be cheaper to buy a new part unless you can find the trial/single application size of Loctite. Even...

I have the 4110/4115 shop manual. Assuming nothing changed between the 4100 and this, then the following might be of some use. Read the logic description of the safety circuits. To rehash, there are several components (seat, transmission and PTO switches, safety module, a diode, a few relays...

Said you checked the safety interlock switches----did you pull them off and test with an Ohm meter? Or what? First thoughts reading your post is one of the various interlock switches slightly worn and/or out of adjustment. Seat would be the first thing I'd check. If the gear models have an...

Opinions follow, your situation may be different: Buying a mower deck for my CUT was a very dumb thing to do. Wresting it on and off isn’t a whole lot of fun. Installed it pretty much limits work to graded/flat surfaces, else the probability of damage is high. Puppy wasn’t inexpensive either...

On 40 acres, mix of tree farm red pines, big hill with hardwoods, 5 acres of meadow/fruit trees. Mostly upland but 15% next to a year round creek that has aspen/birch, alder, grasses. Overall satisfied with the CUT to manage the place. Its size is an asset going into and moving around the...

Good job. You’ll be splitting cranks and sanding transmission friction plates in no time. Better than working crossword puzzles any day...... plus the satisfaction of doing it right, youself. RE Old Briggs singles: one weak link (in something probably designed to last 6 to 10 years)...

How? Operator error, of course. With the possible exception of an electrical gremlin, all damage to my tractor and implements can be traced back to the guy in the seat. Was doing spring cleanup on the 40+, had forks installed to move tree trunks and some pretty substantial limbs to the burn...

After some 17 years I finally bent the bucket leveling rod/indicator. Remember looking at the assembly the day I bought the machine thinking it wouldn’t survive. Guess I wont miss it. Made no practical difference on piles of aggregates till I got to the very bottom and then the ground rarely was...

DanMc Did you ever check your input side chain gear (big one) for concentricity? My original was bad and all of the OEMs replacement the dealer offered up were welded off center, some by a lot. As long as things are apart and the lathe is warm....... Put me in the I like HSS club...

A book like this is invaluable when doing home wiring or trying to figure out thinks like adequate wire size. This one isn't expensive, and address both home, shop, and farm needs. It walks you thru necessary thing to consider. Thinks like the length of wiring/cable run, amps required...

After 16 years it was time for a new seat and I wanted one with a metal seat base; a lot of the replacements out there aren't. Tried a few combos and this one worked successfully. Manufacture details are in the pics for both the seat and the low profile flip-up brackets. Thought it...

Repairing a lift mechanism on an older Starcraft pop up. Need to replace an ovaled out bushing a shaft rests/rotates in. Passes thru the side of some thin 1/8 to 3/16 sheet. OEM bushing was steel, going to use an oiled bronze replacement. I'd called it a flanged bushing, think they...

Any magic tricks to getting the odor of diesel fuel out of clothing? Been nursing along an old style filler spout that split in the middle of a fill----- work jacket sleeve and sweat shirt cuff soaked. Jacket is too pricy to pitch. I've had no luck in the past with detergents and...

Never got around to welding some mesh to my grill guard and somewhere along the way something must of hit the headlight. Lens is intact, but reflector side is damaged. Issues is the plastic bracket that screws to the back of the reflector. It holds the ball ends of the headlight...

Last batch of wet snow (propelled from the county snow plow) destroyed my mailbox mount.....again...... Wondering if anyone came up with a good home design for a mailbox using the heavier gauge T posts. Searched and saw someone is selling a bracket that slides over a post and can be...

Doing end of season maintenance on the JD blower, it needed a new scraper bar so it was time to de-rust and put down some epoxy paint. Noticed a few things with the blower sitting on its back resting on the tractor forks. -- Appears auger was rubbing against/made contact with the rear wall...

I've been struggling with the quality of cut from a 54in edge deck/ 2015 X500 for over two years. Stopped at Deere residential dealership (vs my ag dealer) to pick up some fluids this winter and got into a discussion with the counter guy. He suggested I try a blowout kit; checked the deck...

Never even considered the seat mounting points would fatigue and break. Guess I should stop before dessert at dinner? Most likely too many side hill adventures in the woods. At any rate, the underside of the seats sheet metal skin is spot welded to 1/8 inch flat bar stock which has 90...

A rather large log slipped thru my forks and hit the hood causing a 5 inch or so crack in the summer of 2014. In the proximity of the hinge assemble and was concerned about it spreading. Used Loctite plastic epoxy formulation along with fiberglass matt for an underside surface patch...

Been meaning to make one of these for way too long. Saw the ad for this on everyone's favorite auction site and ordered one up. Showed up today, thought I'd share some observations. Main construction is 2 in tube, slightly greater than 1/8 wall thickness (.148 or so). Side plates are 1/2...

Unit is 2 years old, sitting at 28hrs. 54 in deck has never cut well. Seems to be a combination of issues but mainly the grass height is grossly uneven across the right (grass chute exit) 50% side of the deck. I致e tried new Deere blades (that I checked on a granite base to insure...

Here's what running a failing battery can do---don't do it.

Has anyone confirmed the JD manual test values of 12.4 and .4 ohm on a new fuel shutoff solenoid? My history with failing windings is that the ohm reading usually go down as the windings short. Mine are almost double that on a machine that is having starting issues. It always cranks, but...

Well, my water pump has started to seep fluid from the weep holes; bad seal. Can see the pump is designed with what appears to be a removable backing plate. Has anyone every rebuilt one of these? If so, where did you find the replacement seal? Also, maintence manual shows an O-ring...

Suddenly (opps!) developed the need to replace the auger shaft on my 47 in snow blower. Looks like the easiest way to go about this is to remove the larger drive gear from the pinion shaft, remove the gear case mounting bracket, remove the two flanged housing auger shaft bearing carriers, then...

About 20 inches on the road. In 2WD, R4s, 400lbs in the ballast box, unloaded tires. Cable on the side of hood is chute angle adjustment (a good option).

Equipment just got its first workout in 6 in or so of semi-wet snow. Interesting how digging & moving a bucket of sand hardly causes the diesel to work, but taking continous full bite of wet snow with the blower will cause RPMs to dip/engine to lug a bit. Found one minor issue. The quick tach...

More than one way to approach winter, at least via John Deere.

Hi I posted a classified ad yesterday, but it hasn't shown up on the board. I got a posting number, so it looks like it went through. Is there a delay built in? Don't want to do a double post....Thanks

Due to "concerns" about quality, a 10 day suspension of Minnesota's new manditory 2% Bio Diesel mix went into effect last week. Various issues, some related to flash point not meeting spec, lead to the suspension. Could be a long winter..

In doing my change over to full syn for the upcoming -40, I noticed that this 4110 came with a different oil filter than called out in the manuals. Instead of a M 806418, it came with a AM 107423, which is about twice as tall as the 806418. (or about the same height as the Purolator L14612.)...

Anyone had the rear axle cover off of a 4110,4115? Mine developed a slow leak; trying to determine if they used a gasket or just sealant. Tech manual says gasket, JD Parts doesn't list one. I didn't see a gasket "lip" extending from the two halves, just sealant that was squished out. Red...

Here's a shot showing an LX4 at work in the woods. I was hesitant about the "light" duty construction before I bought. Logged about 10 hours attacking this kind of stuff with no issues.

Finally got around to these. Here's the finished product. Wound up attaching them to the Speedco. Spent 4 hours skidding trees today. Box location was pretty handy to stage chains. More details with 2nd picture.

Hoggin\' & 4110\'s---good idea? As long as its raining (again/still)….. I’ve got a bit of lake grass and some wood brush (wild berry bushes, small birch/maple brush etc…) to maintain now that I’ve made firebreaks. Not a lot, in the neighborhood of 1-1.5 acres. Looking for some first...

Began using a Woods made Frontier BB to make a fire break. The BB is designed to be quick hitch compatible, so the lift arm attaching set up uses removable hitch pins. When used without a quick hitch, there’s a lot of slop, i.e several inches lateral movement of the ball on the hitch...

Wanted to ask this before all the warm weather makes Jan a pleasant memory…. Any first hand experience with blended Bio D and real cold weather? We saw 45 below air temps on more than a few days this winter. It usually warmed up to 5 below or so before I had to go out and remove snow...
