We have a palm tree farm in central Florida which calls for extensive use of trimmers and brush cutters. Our units get much more use than typical homeowners so we need units that perform consistently and reliably. Don’t look solely at purchase price. You can compare two units that have very...

I bought Pats for my 4720. Many people love them. An issue I had was the units leaning inward quite a bit when lifting. A prior post here said they just didn’t use the adjustment bolts and seem to be OK with that. I never tried that. I just wasn’t comfortable with such lateral force on the arms...

I bought a set of Pats many years ago. The concept is nice but still requires hands on to use. I made my own spreader bar (does help) Still not a quick hitch. I finally did get an actual quick hitch, big difference. I did have to modify a couple implements but very well worth it. Pat has lived...

Always wondered why people like moss. They’re tree weeds. Left unchecked it kills the host tree.

I have one from HarborFreight. Only difference from MoJack is HF uses a hydraulic jack. With the time it takes to go from storage to use (all have same) I have ended up just using a wheeled floor jack. Much faster and lift height is plenty for all needs.

Would you be able to scan and IM that to me. Many thanks if possible. Gene

Was hoping someone here has access to a complete service / tech manual for the 100 series Deere riding mower. Need D140 specifically. Please not the owners manual. Thanks for the help, Gene

I appreciate the feedback. The first response is the operators manual and the second is a preview with option to purchase of $140? Was hoping someone has access to a no cost service/ tech manual? Thanks

Would much appreciate if anyone has a service manual for 100 series garden tractor. Or if there is one for a D140 specifically? Would be much appreciated. Gene

Table area grinder storage you will like. I hate changing from grinder wheel to abrasive wheel to cut off wheel to flap sand discs so I have 3 or 4 grinders always set up. They take up a fair amount of work area.

I agree with the suggestions of larger diameter piping. I have irrigation covering 8 acres of palm trees. I ran 2” pipe for mains and first branch. What was originally run from well pump to house, stable and guest house was 1 1/4”. Flow test was quite different between. Both tested with 5hp...

The McDermott light claims 300,000 CP. That’s a bunch

I like to use abrasive pad wheels on my grinder for surface rust as yours. Wipe with thinner, etc. . I like to use a red primer also. People have their own likings that have worked for them.

Nice weld table. I used casters on one I built also. Yours is more stout than mine Good job

Also, if appearance is not a primary concern, use a roll on, spray on “cool coat” product. They work extremely well and have a long useful life.

Know this post is a while ago, perhaps to help someone down the road. Many adhesives are not compatible with foams. They disintegrate the foam. Read labels to insure compatibility. And yes, use closed cell foam.

What drives the I know better than all of you dissertation here. To caution the cost of building your own / one off project is worthy input but why continue to beat a dead horse? “It’s not worth it to do your own” , “just buy one from a manufacturer”. If Edison listened to this discourse, we...

Don’t think I would lose much sleep if my cylinder plugs weren’t OEM appearance. If they kept QC clean, I’m good

Truly customized. Quick attach will make your life much better. Front brush guard. Under hood battery maintainer.

What do you have in materials. How many hours labor Looks great

I use fluid film on attachments I have. Some people mix used oil and deisel fuel

Absolutely amazing. Should patent. Could market this to county maintenance and private. Worth a few thousand I might imagine. Good job. Very technical and precise. Gene

My dash shows the code EEnPHI But on the first E, remove the top horizontal line. Not in the manual. Any help you be appreciated. Gene

JD 4720 3 point and FEL are not functioning well. Changed fluid, filter and cleaned screens. The old fluid was quite broken down. Would a second change be worth while or is there another avenue that should be pursued first? Thanks for help, Gene

Thanks for the reply Have swapped batteries with my zero turn with same result. Sometimes cranks, other times nothing. Sure thought ignition switch. Perhaps a 2nd faulty switch. Headlights on at times, off others when key turned. Absolutely hate the safety switches. Need to jump those...

Have D140 that has following issue. At times I turn key to lights on, nothing. Turn key to start, nothing. Other times lights on, or will crank & start. New ignition switch didn’t solve. Thought one of the safety switches was start issue but that shouldn’t affect lights? Does anyone have tech...

Does anyone have a Service / Repair Manual for the JD 100 series lawn tractor. I have a D140 that is a no start / no crank. No headlights even. Thinking key switch. If someone does have this manual I would sure appreciate if you could email me a copy. I have the owners manual. We all know...

Hi everyone. I have a palm tree nursery and farm. Our trees have become to a size that our Dynamite Digger is far from the effecient way to be extracted. A backhoe is not really feasible due to the root structure of Palm trees. We really need to have a treespade. New units are outrageous and...

I have read many posts here and some are similar but not quite. I have a JD 4720Cab HST. Yesterday I had been mowing for about 30 min. (I love when the strawberry farmers plant and Dump what seems like millions of gallons of water to run-off on to my palm tree fields). I shut off the PTO and...

I bought one of the infamous Quick Hitches about a year ago, but after not fitting any of my implements I returned it. The upper hook bracket protruded too far not letting the hook into the upper link or the hook would not adjust far enough up or down. More to come.

www.ntractorclub.com/forums/manuals/messages/164.htmlI need to level (smooth) an area of our property and was wanting to use a 3 bottom plow. All of the other areas I have done to this point has been with a disc after spraying, but it takes me many passes and it still seems to leave trash on...

The person who has this plow says it is an Allis-Chalmers 3 x 16". The pin on the left side has been broken off. You can see the 1" x 2" stub underneath. He says that I could adjust my lift arm on that side to make it usable. What do you folks think? If I want to use this would I be better off...

Texas John wanted to se some pictures of a project that I recently completed. When I try to upload a picture I am getting the message that one picture is 1.15mb and that it exceeds the 1000kb limit. This is for only one picture. There have been some great photos posted here and I would...

I have always been the type of person to do my own projects due to the fact that I can't seem to find people who care about the quality of their work as I do. Many years ago I needed a customized trailer to haul ladders, equipment and vinyl siding materials. The prices that shops wanted to build...

I am about to regrade (level) a few acres in my back property and had a question about using a plow. 2 years ago I did about 2 acres with a disc and box blade. It turned out very nice but did take a lot of passes with the disc to get the soil ready for blading. I have a chance to get a 3 share...

I have seen a few projects here where people have built hydraulic controlled gauge wheels on a box blade. My question is how do you attatch the hub to the axle. I really don't want to use small wheels with a 5/8 hole. I don't know if these would stand up. If I use a 4 or 5 bolt hub, do you weld...
