Ta Da!! Got the Original Cab Co. softside cab and installed over the holidays........

Does anyone know where Deere hid the Warning Light Flasher Relay? :confused: I want to replace with a low amp trigger flasher & upgrade lights to LED. I looked around and could not find it. It is not in the fuse block either. The 3 relays there are for other things. I looked at the JD...

The Society of Tribologists published the following API Base Stock Group definition table, so I am repeating here. Otherwise got to pay API $125 for the full standard (API 1509)........ No doubt Mobil switched from Group IV (PAO) to Group III (hydrocracked crude) base stocks sometime in the...

Coming soon........... What would I add/change? My boys available to put it together for me!

Here - have a look at this lovely sample of diesel fuel around the U.S. Note the widely varying lubricity provided from the pump fuels. Same with cetane level, etc. Sorry, this supports conclusion diesel fuel in U.S. is crappy compared to Europe & Japan, hence we use additives........ There...

I was re-educating myself on the sorry state of synthetic engine oil base stocks last week. Since SAE got out of the 'synthetic' definition business, and Exxon bought Mobil (1998), it seems the race to cheapen synthetic engine oil base stocks continues. Not that I think there is anything...

Stump loses!

Hi, Has anybody tried to retrofit Deere's front dethatcher attachment for Lawn & Garden tractors to a 1000 Series Deere SCUT tractor? :confused3: We looked at it this weekend and the bracket on the dethatcher is identical width of the tractor front hitch bracket so it can not slide inside or...

Finally, a photo! I didn't give up. Unfortunately, no 'action' shot - everybody else was busy doing something, besides I was in a cloud of dust most of the time. :cloud9:

np, RG1 - I can do better than that, I can attach the 1000 Series Tractor rear lug nut part specs right from Deere's parts list website..... Keep in mind they show two styles of bolt, tapered head & ball head. Well, my tractor ONLY takes the ball head, so I don't know what they were trying to...

I got a tilt meter too.......... No more dicey mowing this year!!

Thanks TripleR & bigtiller. Now why didn't I think to simply contact them? The Polar Vortex gots my brain! (6 degrees with howling wind....again)

Members, Has anyone added wheel spacers to John Deere's 1000 Series SCUT Tractors? (1026R, 1023, 1025) Mowing on some of my slopes is a bit dicey, I am wondering if there is an aftermarket kit that would help. I looked in Attachments Menus, but the recommended vendor stopped at the 2000...

I don't care if there's still 2 feet of snow on the the ground! I'm getting the hydraulic angling kit & driveshaft kit to convert my 52" Deere Rotary Broom to fit my 1026R SCUT tomorrow!! :irked: After a top 100 winter in recorded history, it's time to move on. Drives & streets are chocked...

After one of the most brutal winters in memory, all of a sudden the garden seeds arrived, and the maple sap started flowing yesterday, along with moderate temperature. There is hope yet! :cool2:

Snow is hip-high......after melting a bunch last week! Am I ever glad for the bigger 54" snowblower this winter!!!

2016 Toyota Tundra to Get 5.0L Cummins Diesel (The Torque Report)

I leave flue/exhaust duct open, and adjust fire with air inlet only. This minimizes creosote buildup in the flue. As Mossroad said, be sure the firebox is big enough for what you like to cut. I cut 18" long, and have some gnarly pieces that go a bit longer. My firebox will take up to 20"...

This just in....... Nissan Frontier Diesel Runner Concept First Look - Truck Trend

The JD SCUT/CUT tractors need 2 double u-joints to form a 'V' under the front MFWD axle, so the drive shaft to the blower is different than that used for the JD L&G tractors ('X' series). I know, because I used to have a JD L&G tractor with the 47" blower. I upgraded to JD 1026R with the 54"...

Another 6 inches Wed. night makes the scenery look like this up here. I don't recall totals for the season, about average I think. Temp. was 17 below last night. But no wind!! :cool2: Click on the pic to get a better perspective of snow depth.

The winter that won't end led me to create a comparison chart for Optilube's diesel fuel additives. I got an advertisement in my e-mail, so thought I'd see what the differences are in one document. I didn't include shipping costs ($4.95 per gallon, not bad). Here's a link to for those that...

0 degrees F here for high temps (again). my lungs & joints ache too much to go out there! good thing firewood warms you twice........

Getting too dam old to go out @ -19F !!! :cold:

Where are you, Pine Strip? It's only -2F north of the Twin Cities. Then again, it's +80F in my basement........... :D

We pretty much had a clone of ccsial's New Year's Eve. 'Cept colder @ -14F. With wind. Oy! :eek:

CM - Don't laugh - I only clamp the chainsaw bar itself. I have a collection of worn out bars that fit the length & pitch of the chains I use. I clamp the appropriate bar in the vise, then drape the chain around the bar in the groove. I use Stihl round files, stabilize the rear face of...

There's no adjustment to the sensor location, but the gap spacing appeared quite sensitive to me. I spent a fair amount of time ensuring the gap I set was accurate - and the thing is hard to adjust assembled too. I put it on app. 2 weeks ago, & mine works fine (can reverse w/o snowblower or...

Been growing boiler taters for many years. A number of years ago, I started to see Colorado Potato Beetle infestations. I tried rotating crops, using preventive insecticides, nothing worked to rid myself of the annual plague. Several years ago the supplier I had been using for many years...

I fired up @ 0 degrees F yesterday too.....but I cheat........... Keep interior of barn @ 45F.

First big snow here yesterday. 7 inches of heavy snow, with wind afterward (this be flyover country, obviously). Temp around 20 degrees F. Performance observations: New Plastic Impeller: The 54" Deere snowblower seems to throw a bit less further than my previous 47" Deere snowblower, but not...

:D

My dealer said I wouldn't need chains with 4WD. This is my first 4WD tractor so I'm about to find out!! Have turf tires & 240 lbs counterweight on back. Tires not loaded.

Bundi....genesusie is correct - I just did this on my 1026R for the first time last weekend. Leave the lift kit on except for the cross bar. I found the easiest way to get it out is take off the left side lift bracket, pull out the cross bar & drive shaft. I called my dealer & he confirmed...

Bring It!!!

Behind Door No. 1.................. Is a new 54" FPTO snowblower assembly operation..... Resulting in ready-for-snow equipment........ :thumbsup::D

Bigger is better! Picked up new Deere 54" snowblower last weekend to front mount on my new Deere 1026R SCUT (some assembly required). :cool2: Looking forward to wider clearing & more torque compared to the Deere 445 L&G with front mount 47" snowblower I traded in! Pics to follow...(right...

Members - anybody know the more common aftermarket cab makers for JD SCUT's? What I'm after is a removable winter weather enclosure. I searched the TBN sites for "cab" & "enclosure" but didn't really find a list. I see Curtis has a premium cab (hard & soft side), CoverMyTractor a wrapper...

So how big was the diameter of that 70 footer? I didn't see it, lest my spectacles ain't working. We've had to drop app. 70 red oaks due to oak wilt fungus up here. We usually use the Stihl MS460 for the felling & bucking, 026 for branches, 018 for limbs. Then your arms don't get so tired...

Bought this JD 1026R SCUT in June from leftover 2012 inventory to beat the EPA changeover from Nonroad Tier 3 --> 4 on small diesel engines. Finally got around to posting a photo. Traded in my 11 year old JD 445 L&G tractor - always wanted a compact tractor with front end loader - finally got it!!

Home - Cummins Engines My read of this situation is that when Chrysler declared bankruptcy & were bought out by Fiat, Fiat negated plans for this engine in the half ton pickup (see thread about Fiat diesel in Ram half ton pickups) so Cummins found another pickup truck OEM. Sure wish it would...

Members, I traded my John Deere 445 L&G Tractor and all implements for a John Deere 1026R SCUT. Very happy so far. Now I need to rebuild my implement inventory. Some implements are available in both the John Deere and Frontier brand lines. Why is that and what is the difference? I get the...

Members, I haven't owned a diesel engine in quite a while. I just bought a Deere 1026R SCUT with Yanmar 3cyl 1.1L diesel engine, so need some advice from you. I work for a major OEM of generator sets that uses diesels, so I've kept up to date on engine design, etc. But - I am unsure what the...

Does anybody know if there is a smaller brush fork and/or grapple attachment for the Deere SCUT 1026R FEL H120? It sure would be nice to have for picking up tree branch slash to move to the burn pile. I currently have Deere's 53" wide materials bucket on the FEL. I don't need to pick up much...

Hello all - I just bought a John Deere Model 1026R SCUT, trading in my 11 year old JD 445 L&G tractor. I look forward to reading about implements & usage from other users. We live in the northern exurbs of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and do mowing, lawnscaping, snowblowing (of course!), and...
