    Mower lift pins always coming loose? Suggestions?

    I like that idea too. If what I have decided to do (spot weld the pin only) ends up on working, then I will get some grade 8 bolts too. Thanks.

    Mower lift pins always coming loose? Suggestions?

    That is exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks a ton for posting this. It sorta confirms several things for me that I suspected but was not sure. I do have that bushing "5A" which really confirms the need for the A Frame to be able to move like you mentioned. But in doing so, it makes it...

    Mower lift pins always coming loose? Suggestions?

    I am really wondering about the fact that the mower A frame arms are 1.3 while the mower support arms are only 0.9". Is this common?

    Mower lift pins always coming loose? Suggestions?

    I am seriously thinking of spot welding the pins on. (I do use Loctite). I am going to look for hardened washers too.

    Mower lift pins always coming loose? Suggestions?

    I have not see any. I think with the two different size holes there is just too much play in there to stop it from wobbling. But maybe that is the intention of the design to allow movement. I might try to call Titan.....But It always helps to hear from real world end users than the factory...

    Brush Cutter

    I think if the screen is quite heavy you will be fine. BUT.....I think you will get frustrated with the polycarbonate getting dull and hard to see through real fast. I would just use eye protection and the screen and no plastic with the screen. Hope that makes sense.

    Mower lift pins always coming loose? Suggestions?

    I have a Titan 1206 Mower that I use with my JD 4520. I use Cat1 pins. The problem is that the lift pins on the mower are always coming loose. The mower holes are 0.9" and the Mower A fram arms are 1.3" I use a bushing in the A frame holes to reduce it down so the Cat1 pins will be tight...

    JD4520 Steering trouble when bucket is full.

    Thanks, I was pretty sure that would do it, just ordered one. It is a good idea to check that steering cylinder and the pressure to it before making the big decision to have a JD dealer replace the Steering Control Unit. That $1800 cost is a big dent in my wallet....

    JD4520 Steering trouble when bucket is full.

    Update: I stopped in the JD dealer and talked with the guys at the service desk. They said it is not likely it is the Trans filter if the rest of the hydraulic system is operating correctly as it is all the same system. They said the two most likely culprits are: 1) The Steering Control...

    JD4520 Steering trouble when bucket is full.

    The oil and filter were changed 300 hours ago...so I will be doing that. But the "right" vs "left" has me baffled... Dealer wants over $1800 for new steering control unit. So Im hoping it wont be that...

    JD4520 Steering trouble when bucket is full.

    Well I looked under the hood this morning. There is no steering pump on the fan belt. Only the Alternator and the Water pump. I traced the steering cylinder hoses back to where they disappear in behind the engine j- basically behind where the circuit breaker panel is. There must be some sort...

    JD4520 Steering trouble when bucket is full.

    No. I read the manual and there is no mention of a separate power steering system reservoir. But I sure will look for one!!!! I should have thought of that!!! Also I do not note any belt noise but I sure will check it.

    JD4520 Steering trouble when bucket is full.

    I appreciate your comments. I have a 7ft wide box blade. I believe it is about 760lbs. In regards to it being too much weight.l...I have to note that the odd issue only started recently, so I wonder if it is really too much weight and esp since it does not happen while turning left - only...

    JD4520 Steering trouble when bucket is full.

    I have a 2007 JD 4520. I have started to notice that I have difficulty steering to the right when the bucket is full of heavy dirt. I turn the wheel to the right but the tires do not turn to the right like they should. They barely turn (angle) to the right. It seems worse when I am going...

    Buying Advice  JD 4120, 4320, 4520, 4720, same engine, same compression, different HP. (boost?)

    I am looking to buy a 2014 or older JD. I have been looking at used 4000 series. What struck me as a bit odd is that it appears as though the 4120, 4320, 4520, and 4720 appear to be the same engine except the HP goes up from 43 to 60. Same bore and stroke. Same compression (+/- .5)...

    Check your wheel spacers carefully for fit!

    I was putting on a pair of 1.5 inch wheel spacers and almost did not notice that they were not completely slipping over the center hub on my JD 3203. Notice the gap between the spacer and the hub below. The hub stuck out 1/2 an inch. The spacer cut out inside was only about 0.4 deep. I...

    Rim swap to gain width - Hub style preventing this. Anyone figured this out?

    I have a JD 3203 and I want to swap rims side to side so I can gain quite a bit more width but the rim hub style prevents this. Attached is a pic, showing the rim shape near the bolts which as you can see, prevents this from fitting the hub if swapped to the other side of the tractor. I...

    Is this John Deere plug ISO 261 M 18 or??

    I am looking for some help in identifying the type of thread this plug has so I am sure I get the right fitting to go in its place. From what I can tell this is an 18mm ISO 261 thread (or metric ORB?) . But when I try to find a fitting for this, I cannot find it. I have looked at Northern...

    Is this a low pressure line?

    I am looking to add a DIY PB Dual Spool valve on my JD 3203. JD does not make a PB kit. I am looking for a place to route and connect the "tank" (drain) off of the new spool valve. I would like to know if this line that comes from the Oil Cooler to the HST is a low pressure line that would be...

    Can someone please verify the inside width of the HF QH? (inside pin to pin). I.E. minimum distance inside. I know the add says 27 3/16th but I am not sure if that is the inside distance counting the pins that go through the lift arms or just the inside width of the unit itself. I have a...
