Hey all I'm thinking of trying to kitbash the front fenders for the 3000 series onto my 2520. Bare tires sure make a muddy mess of the tractor,not to mention the wet grass piling up on the MMM. I was considering using a utility trailer fender which I still may do,but I'd rather use genuine JD,if...

Hey guys Does anyone know what the blade tip speed is on the 2520 with the 62D deck? Engine rpm is 2500. Thanks Greg

Hey guys, I just finished putting my 316 back together today. It was almost a complete redo. The engine short block and transmission were left alone. Other than that,every gasket,bearing,seal,bolt,hose,decal (except the deck ones) and most everything electrical was replaced. Couple pics of just...

Hey guys Well,I just changed out my original water pump after 215,900 miles.:thumbsup: My 1998 Chevy K1500 has treated me pretty darn good so far. I've always heard that car makers,(maybe all manufacturers for that matter) will install the very best parts at the factory. It kind of makes...

Hey guys, Why does the position of my steering knob keep changing on my 2520? When I first mounted it,it was on the bottom at 6 o' clock. Now it's everywhere but there. It's driving me crazy.:confused2: Greg

Hey guys, Was at the dealer today getting some items for my 316. They had a 2010 2305 on the floor. I was looking it over and noticed JD kind of squared the hood a little on the newer models. IMO,looks pretty good. Slight throwback,eh.:) Anyway,my parts guy tells me this is the last year for...

Hey all, Just did my 50 hour today,actually 49.1:). I'm assuming because those 49 hours weren't "real hard" hours is why there isn't much on my screen,but anyway,I'm surprised at how relatively clean it was. I didn't have a strap wrench for the spin on fuel filter either,which really made it...

Hi guys I am considering looking at a 317 this weekend. Problem is,it's one of the older horizontally opposed 2 cylinder Kohlers with the pressure spray lubricating system. The tractor has been well taken care of,but the owner really doesn't have any idea of the number of hours. Please give me...

Just wanted to spout a little bit about my mower. I used it for the first time today,and I have to say,it's a mowing mowchine:) All the cons I've read concerning high range for mowing are put to bed as far as I'm concerned. My own questions have been answered. It is simply awesome!:thumbsup: It...

Hey guys Tell me that isn't what I think it is? It's just about impossible to reach. Greg

Hi guys Is the level indicator supposed to be tight against the bucket mount or loose? I was cleaning debris around the linkage and noticed I could wiggle it back and forth a little. The nut looked loose,but it is tight to turn with a wrench. Greg

Hey all I have a chance to get this for next to nothing, 150.00. A co-workers dad had this on his Kubota,which he no longer has. He just wants to get rid of it. It has all three cylinders,all the hoses and hardware, is 61" wide,and not in too bad of shape. Does anyone know what kind of blade...

Hey guys, Just curious if any other 2520 owners have this problem.:mad: I can't tell if there is any slack available up near the fuel tank. I'm figuring I have to take the dash panel off to see what the deal is.........yes? Maybe have to get a longer piece of hose. IMO,there should be a 90...

I started to figure a mount for the SE seat today. I didn't realize until I took the seat out of its box that the dealer had included the "Attaching Parts Kit" at no extra charge to me...........nice:) Starting from the upper left,the first and second pics are what comes with the kit. The third...

John,you are right. It came Thursday evening(actually too dark for pics) and I just put 'er in the garage. Yesterday after work I pretty much was just checking everything out. Pics aren't the greatest,but here she is!:) Correct me if I'm wrong,but I don't think these are the new arms...

Here are a few pics of my box before paint. I was planning to paint it the way it is,but a friend and coworker who knows bodywork offered to "mud" the welds and spray it for me. So I went to the JD dealer and bought a quart of paint,thinner and hardener.......70.00...ouch! Paint wasn't bad,the...

I need some info please. Does anyone know the price for the John Deere 54" FEL mounted blade with Quick Tach and hydraulic kit? Basically,the bottom line to put this on my 2520. Thanks:) Greg

Hello to everyone.:) We live in what is called Big Beaver Borough,just outside of Chippewa. Now that we no longer have our horse,we have a much bigger "yard" to mow. Between my old Speedex 1631 (which breaks something just about every time I use it) and my wife's little Snapper 2650,it takes too...
