JD4410 was running fine until I turned it off and went to restart it. There was a millisecond of electric power then everything was dead. No lights, no nothing. The battery is good, terminals clean and tight, and 12.6 volts at the positive battery cable where it connects to the starter...

I have a JD 4410 with a slow leak in the left rear tire that needs to be aired up every week and a half or two. It is a tubeless turf tire that's filled and I see no fluid leaking. I replaced the valve core and it made no difference. The tire/wheel weighs over 700 Lbs so I don't want to take...

Does anyone have a Krylon/Rustoleum type paint color name to match (or come close) to The Woods implement Yellow?

I have a new to me 4410 with the tilt steering adjustment lever jammed in one position, but the tractor steers fine. The steering shaft angle is movable through part of its range. I followed the service manual instructions to remove the unit, but when I try to remove the control panel...

I want to add chain grab hooks to the top of my bucket. I don't have a welder. Are the bolt on hooks OK or should I have a welder install the hooks?

I just bought a used 4410. It has 570.0+ hours. The hour meter read this the first time I looked at it. The next time I looked, the center digit was missing and continues to be missing, but the blank space is there. It reads 5 0.0. The tenths digit is moving and I expect the 100's digit...

I want to install a new yard hydrant about 100 yards west of my house. Presently, my well with submerged pump is about 30 yards west of my house and runs to the house where the pressure tank, pressure and sensing switch are located. I have two hose bibs at the house and they take water after...

The neighbor has a John Deere 4300 and was using a 3 point PTO driven stump grinder. No big event or noise, but at some point the the tractor would not move forward or back and the rear PTO stopped. The 3 point still works as does the front end loader. The PTO shaft does not turn by hand...

I have no experience stump grinding but need to rent one to remove about 20 ten to twenty inch stumps. My choices are a Rayco RG27 which is 27 horsepower and about 1800 lbs. or a Vermeer SC362 which is 35 horsepower and about 1300 lbs. Both are about the same price and distance. The cutting...

John Deere 855 manual has a service procedure to drain fluid, change spin on filter, then replace with new fluid. If I just want to change the filter without draining fluid, can I, or will the fluid run out from the filter housing?

I have a John Deere 855 with loader. I have never removed the loader. The quick disconnects for the loader are located under the left foot pan. After I shut the tractor down, it will drip from the area of the disconnects. Are there O rings or other seals that I can replace? If so, are they...

This is in Virginia's Alleghany County. I went online and the print of the cougar, bobcat, and coyote all look about the same and very similar. Anyone care to venture their opinion?

I'm placing a modular in the mountains of the west part of Virginia as a part-time residence on 29 acres. It will be 38' X 28' (two 14 foot modules) in a chalet style. That's 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, mud room, kitchen, living and dining room on the main level. There will be a large loft master...

My wife just bought two outside light fixtures that she wants me to use to replace two old ones. They are motion activated, have a bright and dim mode, and a sensor to only illuminate when it is dark out. So as I understand it, depending on how you set it it, it will come on dim at dark, go to...

Many houses in my area (Virginia where it is humid) with Asphault/fiberglass shingles develop roof mold stains. My house is seven years old and hasn't developed them yet, but I think they are really ugly and would like to avoid them or remove them should they occurr. I know they make shingles...

Does anyone happen to know if the Tractor Supply generic draw bar (under the tractor, not between the 3 point arms) will fit a JD 855?

I noticed a small stain on the family room ceiling. The upstairs bathroom is located above and the stain is directly aligned with the shower drain in one axis and about 5 feet from it in the other axis. Directly above the stain is a closet that is dry. The stain enlarged slightly after the...

I am putting a vinyl waterproof roof under my deck and I need a rain gutter for it to drain into. It is a straight piece 24' long with one down spout. I see that there is vinyl that glues together, vinyl that snaps together with rubber gaskets, and metal. Any thoughts on which is best?

The engine is a Yanmar 3TN75RJ 3 cylinder 24 HP. The tractor has always started hard in the cold. I bought it used and have had it for 7 years. It has a replacement tach, so I don't know total hours, but it appears to have been used quite a bit. I installed a block heater and could always...

The pictured tree is growing on 5 acres in Virginia. It is the only tree of its type in the whole area. It is surrounded by many hardwoods, pines, gums, poplars, and dogwoods to mention some. It is growing in partial sun. It is about 12 feet tall, has smooth grey bark, and poor shape, as if...

After having three day-long power outages after last winter's storm, I've been considering buying a generator. Costco has $200 off a Honeywell HW7000e for a total price of $700 delivered, which seems to be a good price compared to other sources for a Honeywell. The Costco ad lists a...

So, I sprang for an Onkyo home theater system for my newly finished basement and it includes an AM/FM receiver. It also includes an FM antenna that is just a piece of insulated wire about 4 feet long and an AM antenna that is an open plastic rectangle about 2" X 4" with a stand so it can sit on...

I have a 12" power miter saw with a carbide tipped blade. I cut 1500 square feet of engineered flooring that has a hardened surface and the blade is not very sharp anymore. Can it be sharpened ,or do I throw it away and buy a new one?

I have a Heatilator propane fireplace that is about 5 years old. It has always worked fine, just flip the switch on the wall and it lights. The other day, it had been burning for an hour or so, and just quit. I didn't have time to deal with it at the time, so I didn't do anything immediately...

Bought a Weeping Cherry Tree and planted it about 2 years ago. It is growing, but many new shoots grow up instead of "weeping". The Mrs. and I have been discussing what to do with these, prune them off or tie them into the "weeping position". Any suggestions?

I'm finishing my basement and I wired in 3 new circuits. The existing circuits use only the red and green wire. I ran wire to each of the new outlet boxes and then back to the telephone junction box. I left the wires unattached at each new box and then ganged them all together, red and green...

I just changed the mower blades on my 2155. The instructions on the new blades show 2 pins on the drive shaft flange that go into 2 holes in the blades to prevent them from turning on the shaft. My mower didn't have the pins. The original blades were just squeezed between the flange and a...

When I usually sign in and click on "Discussions" I don't get regional discussions. But, a couple of times I have seen a regional discussion section. How do I find that and why doesn't it come up all of the time?

I want to replace the existing light fixture in my kitchen. It has 4-48" flourescent tubes and provides sufficient light. The kitchen is about 12' X 12'. I am considering BR30 or BR40 bulbs in either recessed or track lights. The neighbor has 6 recessed BR40 bulbs and they seem to provide...

I want to buy a Maverick 88 protector shotgun for home protection. It has a good reputation for reliability and sells new for about $200. Everyplace that I've looked is out of stock, including online sources. I guess it's a sign of the times! Anybody know where I can get one?

I want to put new planking on my covered porch. At each supporting column, I can jack the roof up slightly and remove the old planks after cutting through a few nails at the column base with a reciprocating saw. The nails hold the square base piece to the planking. I did one, and aside from...

My wife's parents have both passed on and she was going through some of their belongings. She found the two pins pictured below and was wondering if anyone knows what they are. The second one has engraved on the back, " Be Just, Merciful, Honorable, and Brave". They lived in Pennsylvania and...

At my city house (suburbs) I looked out the front window to see a mother fox and seven pups frolicking on the front lawn and porch. The porch is wood with considerable space underneath it and they are coming and going underneath it at will. There are droppings on the top of the porch deck...

I've been considering buying a used gold cart to run back and forth on my 3.5 acres and around the neighborhood (1 to 3 miles). The wife would use it as much or more than I. No big hills. It would be used on grass, gravel, and pavement and I have 110 charging power readily available. The...

I have a leaf blower with Zama diaphram carburetor that won't run. The fuel line broke after the blower sat unused for about 3 months. I replaced the line and filter but the it won't start using conventional procedures. If I pump the primer bulb repeatedly about 30 times, it will start and...

My city house has a wood decked front porch under which two (or more) ground hogs have taken up residence. The lot adjoins a wooded area where the ground hogs had resided but now they seem to be under the porch. I want to get the house ready to sell and potential buyers probably wouldn't be...

I have a two year old house where the top soil was scraped off by the excavators. The remaining area is clay and planted with grass that is sparse and struggling. This spring I want to fertilize and overseed. I've been told I might need to use lime. How do you test the soil PH and what is...

I am finishing my basement using metal studs but I am considering a nail gun for the molding, door trim, and baseboards. I will have wood backing to nail into where necessary. I've never used a nail gun before but have heard other people rave about them. I guess I would need a finish nail...

I removed the mower deck from the Cub Cadet so I could grease it, as it was past due. I figured I might as well also grease the spindles, wheel bearings and steering box while I was at it, even though they have a higher hourly interval between lubrications. All was going well. The zerks were...

I have a year old house with a 1000 gallon septic tank that feeds another 1000 gallon underground concrete tank that has a pump to pump uphill to my drain field. The pump tank has a 2 1/2 foot diameter cylinder that extends above ground with a concrete cap on it for access to the pump. It all...

In the city, I can receive my neighbor's WiFi signal. If I log on, can they tell I am on? Would it affect the performance of the system for them? Could they see what I'm doing?

J D 855 won\'t start Tractor has been running great for the past 2 years, good power, no smoke, good start if pre-heated when cold. Now it cranks well, puffs a little smoke, but won't fire. So, I checked that it is full of recent clean fuel, changed the fuel filter even though it wasn't very...

Here is a very interesting article about how Walmart does business and how Snapper refused to be part of it. web page

I need some input to select a compressor. It is for home use. Fill tires, blow out parts, blow off the mower. Should I consider something that can drive air tools? Portability wouldn't be high on my list. I was thinking maybe Sears in the $100 to $200 range. I heard that the oilless ones...

I have some wicker furniture that is only about two years old, but it was stored in a moldy environment and now has that mold smell. I have wiped it down with Clorox disinfectant wipes (non-bleach) and cleaned it with Liquid Gold Furniture Cleaner but it still smells. I know that a...

I am having a new house built and the contractor installed a canister type filter (about 3/4 gallon) downstream from the diaphragm pressure tank. I was thinking that it should be installed upstream so that the pressure tank doesn't fill up with sediment. Any thoughts on this? Its a brand new...

I have a 16" McCulloch chain saw that runs well if you can keep the carb adjusted. I adjust the high and low screws for max RPM while it is warmed up and running but then it won't start when it is hot (too rich I think). Let it cool for 20 or 30 minutes and then it will start again. Any...

When I lifted the hood to check the oil, I saw the southend of a northbound mouse scamper out of the engine. I have heard a story of a mouse chewing through wire insulation and causing a fire. Any ideas on how to repel them. I park in a field. I was thinking maybe mothballs!

I have an old Woods Dixie Cutter that I bought used. It works well, but it needs the blades sharpened. I thought I would take them off and sharpen them on a grinder. I removed the bolt on each blade that holds two retaining plates that hold each blade to the cross piece that attaches to the...

JD 855 Won\'t Start There is fuel in the tank and the battery turns it over well. The temperature is in the mid 50s. It ran perfectly a week ago right up to the time I shut it down. It has always started easily before. Now it doesn't even pop. There is black smoke that pumps out of the...

I recently bought a used JD 855 with a model 52 loader. I'm new to tractors but reasonably mechanical. I have the operators manual for the tractor but not for the loader. I was checking all the fluids, filters, etc. and I see that you need to slide the front grill forward to access the air...
