Hello all, I am considering purchasing a used 72D Auto-Connect Mower deck. I am currently running R3 Turf Specials, but I think that if I purchase a 72D Auto-Connect Mower deck, the right rear castor wheel will be in the way of my right rear tire. I have seen that other forum members have these...

Well, i had one of those spectacularly silly moments where I relaxed while filling my tank with fuel and bang the entire autofill nozzle fell into the tank. I tried initially to fish around in there to get it out but no luck sofar. And now for some weird reason, I cannot cut on my MMM as the...

Got my PB installed this weekend. Here are some pics. Took a while, as I was doing other cores during the installation. Also my crowfoot wrenches are still in transit, due to arrive tomorrow, so I had to do it with regular length wrenches - that was too much fun:(. I also had to remove both rear...

Guys, I have a question. Not to experienced on tractor Hydraulics, so I am asking the more experienced. I had a couple of hoses get cut when a plowing snow and my hydraulic blade's left/right angle mechanisms (valves and release valves) lost a lot of fluid before I figured there was a problem...

Well, Gents I need some help from all of you collective minds. I have a flail mower but with my slopes, using it to mow frequently is a bit of an issue as it does not provide the same anti-tip benefit as a 7 Iron MMM. I found a 2006 7 Iron MMM used, and I was going to pull the triggger on it...

Well it showed up today and I must say it is a lot quieter than my 4310 1 here are some pics with the small R-4s.:)

Hey All; I am considering getting a pair of wheels from Unverferth that will make the width of my tractor's rear wheels,end to end, approximately 73". The reason I am considering this is that the CAB tractors can be a little top heavy and depending on the tires you put on them, they can be very...

Well just before I pull the trigger on a Cab tractor, i was speaking with another dealer just gathering some info and that dealer indicated that they had been advised that if you are going to use a MMM, especially the 72" MMM on the 3x20 series Cab Tractors, that you should go for the 3520 Cab...

OnRamp 72" deck (drive over deck): Does anyone know the earliest that will be available? I am hoping I can wait but I might not. I have heard June or July of this year, however, I was hoping it would be earlier than that. Anyone have any idea of the cost? Anyone found any specs? OBTW, has...

Hey all, as some of you know I am close to pulling the trigger on getting a 3320 Cab tractor. In discussing with some of the folks on the forum, I found out the 366 Frame Mounted Blade and the MMM for this unit are not really compatible - (you have to take the MMM off and then put the frame...

I have a 4310 and i have a Frontier boom mounted blade on the end of my Loader arms]. It has a 72" blade. My problem is that even though the boom mounted blade is highly adjustable, it so heavy that it gouges the asphalt in my Driveway. When i had my 4100, with its frame mounted blade this was...

All, one of my connectors for my hydraulics is occassionally leaking when I have the rubber plugs inserted into the female connecter when the unit is on. Versus the male connector being inserted and no leak detected - well I have not noticed this same condition. Since i have not done much with...

All, I have been contemplating doing some increase mowing exercises - going into an area rendomly designated as forest preserve and cleanmng out the lower non-native brush, with a brush cuter, and since I got the 4310, I have been wondering which cutter would be a good one for the 4310? Any...

Mow was very good, very quick with 72" deck. Sloped area in front is now no issue wit the super wide footprint Galaxy Super turfs. Have not tried the steeper slopes in back yet, but that issue may be going away as I might pick up a used walk behind with a 48" deck;) to do that area. Dunno yet...

Hitch-N-Ditch Tried out this attachment on my tractor. Works pretty well as i was able to get 250 of direct burial line done in about two houes. A few observations: This device was designed to work on a receiver hitch mounted on a truck. I was trying to use it on my tractor , first on my 3PT...

All, I will soon have another set of tires: Fronts - 25-10.50 LLx15 Golf Rears - 41 LLx18-16.1 Golf I was reading my 300Cx loader manual and these tires did not make the list for recommended/approved tires. My original tires did make the list. So am I gonna have to change my tires back to...

Just got the unit I traded in my 4100 for and it has a few issues i want to resolve. 1) Anyone have the Technical manual for a 4310 and can tell me where the lines run for the back lights on the ROPS? I got on side out and it is definitely not getting power as the bulbs work on the other side...

I am still debating on getting a JD rotary cutter (land reclimation is more urgent for me right now) or one of those Tartergate units at Tractor Supply. I won' be using this frequently, but I do have a need. I think once I get everything, clutch, chains front and rear, they might be closer in...

Here's an interesting thing. Slowly but surely installing my 200cx loader. Well I broke a bolt off in the Frame, while mounting the loader mounting brackets. So I got it out by using left-hand drill bits. Wallah, I thought I had it made, well I got fooled - the Mounting Frames for the loader...

I finally got the instructions for the mounting frame for e a 200cx on a JD 4100. Instructions are not bad, however, a couple of things kinda have me a little confused. The manual states: Remove paint from mounting frame to tractor frame contact surfaces (Refer to remove paint before welding...

Hey All, I picked up my loader and I neglected to get the installation instructions. I know i can get them from the dealer on Thursday, but I kinda wanted to get a head start on the installtion. Anyone got a softcopy of the install manual?

I saw a 4115 today with a 72" MMM, 180 hours (dunno what year) and the dealer wanted $14900 for it. I might have jumped at it for $12k, with my 4100 as a trade. I did like that 72" deck, but i wonder how it would do on my sloping landscape? Anyone out there have any experience they are willing...

i took my 4100 to the dealer and they have been trying to find out what is going on with it. It is idling rough at under 1300 rpm, but runs fine above that. They do not seem to be able to determine what is wrong, even after speaking with JD. Anyone have any suggestions? OBTW - Getting 200CX...

Anyone got any experience with Material collection systems? I am thinking of getting one for my 4100, and before I do that I wanted to ask the forum and get some advice. Please suggest brands models, ..etc. I have slopes, so I am really wary of tow-behinds. But the units that hang on the back...

I went to the dealer yesterday to bring in a part so that they could thoroughly checkout my 2001 4100. I have only 98 hours on it (it has been sitting up for 8 months in storage - I moved to another state, got my new place now), and so just for grins I asked one of the sales people to give me a...

Hello All, I have my 4100, and I just moved to a place that is 2.25 acres and it has approximately 1.25 acres of grass to cut, and a lot of very tall leafy trees. I was wondering if getting one of JD's Hydraulic Dump, Material Collection systems (expensive - $4 - 5k) is the way to go, or.....?

I am looking to buy a flail mower for the 1 acre of lawn, i will have to mow starting in April or May. I have been advised that if i want to cut this in less than 40 minutes and not have to pick it up every time, I should use a 72" to 84" flail mower. I would lie to know if: This is the way I...

I am considering replacing my 2001 4100 with something newer, have not decided yet, but I am thinking about it I have been looking at the 2210 for a while, but I like the size of the 4xxx series. I have a 54" snow blade, 54"MMM, 30" dirt scoop, and a 3PT Spreader, which I use around my...

Recently I twisted up the PTO drive shaft and bent the gearbox on my Eurospand Spreader. So I called the distributer and the dealer to get a quote, and to my surprise the cost at $495 was within 30 bucks of the cost of a new spreader - same model. So I sent an email to the Manufacturer and asked...

Hey can anyone give me any info on how the curtiss cabs fit on the JD 4100? Do you have to remove the handles on the fender? Does the rear window open? If not can it be made to open without damaging the rear panel? In the winter, is the hard cab better than the softcab as far as not having...

My 54" MMM on my JD 4100, got its collar damaged and I still managed to get it on the tractor and secure. Seemed easy enough, it finally snapped on after a few tries. Now i cannot get it off and the plastic part of the collar was torn and frozen, so I had to remove it. Now the rest of the collar...

Just got a used 54" MMM for my 4100. I deinstalled my plow, the front hitch , and the angling kit. The Deck; I failed to get the deck on because of two things: 1) Could not get the pivot shaft to fit on the tractor, it just would not go in. I could not tell if it was slightly bent or not. I...

Getting a used deck, I want to refurb it , and part of that is to clean it thoroughly. what can I apply to the ubderside of the deck to clean the old clippings down to the paint? I read other posts and it seems that high pressure water, with a wire brush and scrapers is the way to go, but is...

Just got a look at this website, http://www.westendorfmfg.com/ This firm makes small 3 Pt. Dirt Scoops that are 48" and 60". They also have some hydraulic versions. What do you guys think? For $800, for a 60" dirt scoop, might not be so bad. They also do good loaders too, quick release and less...

Well I was getting familiar with my new 4100 on my property, checking it out on the two slopes that I have and whammo, I forgot that I had the blade on the front and I sliced about a two foot x 1 foot section of grass (looks like a sod cutter did it) out of my lawn. I put it back and I hope it...
