I have the kx121 with the 4 way blade. You know these things aren't dozers. You can do a little with them but you run out of umph when trying to do much dozing. I thought about the 6 way and kinda glad I didn't pay extra for it. Thumb and quick tach buckets a must. Go with the 40 the 4k lifting...

Has anyone replaced the orange parking brake lever on the 2520 or 2720? I tried to search for it here but I really have bad luck with the search tool. Any pointers would be great on removing the lower console to get to it. Thanks, Ken

So my left hand red handle safety lockout lever quit locking out the controls. Everything is still able to work when fully up. I know there is a switch somewhere but on first look, I am not finding it. Parts diagram doesn't show this kind of detail, or at least not for me. Has any of you ran...

Just bought a used Excavator. Anyone out there have one of these KX121-3's? I know it has glow plugs but is there supposed to be some sort of indicator light for the glow plugs? Haven't received the owners manual yet but is suppose to be coming soon. I am assuming that the glow plugs are...

I have a JD 2520 CUT that I just put on a Snow plow attachment on the FEL (CX200). I am suppose to keep the implement level and use float. I am finding that in the float position if I lightly snag anything or try to plow over loose gravel that the blade will stop and the front tires will lift...

So I have an appointment with the dealer to look at my X300 Tranny that is going bad. Thank goodness it is still under warrantee. Does anyone know if they will put the exact problematic type tranny back in or have they fixed the issues with the K46 and the replacement should last longer?

My transmission is starting to make a load howl or pully wine, or somewhere inbetween. Yet it still has plenty of power and not slipping at all. Is this an early sign of the classic transmission failure of the K46 or something different? I am guessing that it is on the way out and just a matter...

Well after almost 20 years of service to me with almost no problems other than normal maintenance, my old buddy, the 1710 has a water pump going out. Not leaking but the shaft is wobbling bad. So, anyone have a site online to get parts for these or at least give me a ball park on a new or...

The seals on my 46 BH stabilizers are leaking already. Only about 20 hrs on the unit. Are these easy to take apart and install new seal kit? Anything tricky here? Looked at the blow up view on the JD parts layout. Looks pretty basic. Wondering if this is the nature of these and replacing the...

Ready to change my hydro/tranny oil for the first time on the 2520. Will be picking up fluild and filter next week. Anyone know if the spin on filter is super expensive or is typically like a normal oil filter? I am sure that I will find out soon but just preparing for shell shock! Thanks ahead...

So my x300 is approaching 2 years old. Battery already shot. What a disapointment, In 1993 I bought a LX172 and the stock Battery lasted 12 years. What happen to quality? I talked to my dealer today and they said that 2 years is quite normal for a battery in these, are you kinding me? And he...

As I was out feeding the horses tonight, I was looking at my 1710 and thinking, what a great buddy it has been. For 16 years it has taken care of just about everything it could around the place and hasn't complained a bit. As I have had many toys, it has always been my favorite, even with the...

Looking for a wiring diagram for 1710 (4wd). About a month ago I acidently left the key on after shutting down and didn't notice for a couple hrs. After restarting my charge light was staying on. Found blown fuse, figured that sitting there for a couple hours with the charge light on finally...

The old LX172 just didn't look so hot next to the new 2520. Had to replace it as well with an X300. Now I am set!

Hello all, So I have been reading threads about stock batteries leaking and distroying the battery tray on new tractors. With that I have seen folks both recommending Optima batteries and then hear folks complaining about them. So what is the deal with these batteries and I would love to hear...

Just wanted to wish you all a great new year. I have been enjoying reading postings and occasionally putting in my 2 cents. This time of year it is hard to get a lot of seat time unless there is snow to remove ( haven't had any here in the PNW yet) and having a venue such as this has been a...

Recently purchased a new 2520. One issue that I have with it is that the removable pins to fold the ROPS down are so miss aligned that there is no way to put both sides back in. My local dealer has tried and couldn't get them in either. I had to drive the first one out with a punch and once out...
