I am told the original problem is that the clutch is stuck and the tractor would take off as soon as it...

Hey everyone, First time posting, and need a little help with at least some terminology/ parts so I can search better. There doesn't seem to be a lot of info about the 1070 and I think better search words would help. Here's my problem, Yesterday while bush hogging, my tractor stalled and...

I have a 1070 (bought it new the year they came out) with a disconnected wire under the dash. It has a female connector on it with 2 wires, appears to be yellow + blue, and a solid blue (or could be faded black). The wire comes out of a bundle and is only a couple of inches long.

Hello, I recently bought a JD 1070 (2WD, FEL, 8B backhoe, finish mower, box blade). Runs and drives strong, and I've enjoyed using the loader to clean up my small property. Unfortunately, I discovered an issue when I went to cut my grass with the 3 pt finish mower for the first time. The...

Anyone on here have a 70 series tractor 870-1070 that has a factory or have added a Creeper gear set up.

I ordered which i thought was the correct repair manual for my tractor which was JD TM1470. It says it covers the 670, 770, 790, 870, 970, and 1070. Turns out it only covers the 790 for engine specs and repairs. It refers to buy the John Deere CTM3 for the other models. Upon researching it looks...

I'm trying to change the fuel filter (on engine) on my 1070. The manual says to remove the bowl, turn the top ring counter clockwise. Can't get it to budge. It looks to me like the ring should turn clockwise to remove it, but maybe I'm looking at it wrong. Sure dont want to break it. Does anyone...

I was running my JD 1070 and the negative battery terminal popped loose. The tractor shut down. I put the negative cable back on and then the tractor would crank, but not start. If I manually pull the injector shut off solenoid back, the tractor starts right up. I zipped tied it back and it ran...

I just used by 1070 2 days ago. Went out today and when turning the key on I hear a click and the dash lights come on but it won't do anything else. I crossed the terminals on the starter and it started up. Would the starter just go out after parking it? It looks like the starter and...

Guys I bought a John Deere 1070 just last week that has turf tires on it. It is a 4wd model with a loader bucket. I didn't realize I would have to get new wheels as well as the tires. The problem is I am having a hard time finding wheels. Tractordata shows it calls for 13.6-28 rear ag...

MY JD1070 seems to be plagued with fuel tank rust. (especially the filler neck and cap). My old cap had this issue and I replaced it not to long ago and look at the new one! The inside of the filler neck is also rusty but it hasn't rusted thru. I take really good care of my 1070. I use...

My JD 1070 is no longer starting. I have replaced the starter, battery, and the seat safety switch. A friend came to look at it today to see if he could figure it out and it started right away after a month of not being able to crank it at all. As soon as he left I worked with it a while...

For the last 5 or 6 years, I've replaced 4 regulators. Alternator has been checked and confirmed good. Fan belt tension, fine. Last year, no light would come on until 2100 rpms without lights. With lights, it would come on around 1600 rpms. This year, the charge light comes on around 1600 rpms...

Just got scammed on 1070... lm going to need a lot of help... Thought it was a deal but now l think the clutch is bad. Takes off slow in low and mid gear and barely takes off at all in High range and the pto kicks out when mowing. I shouldn't have bought this without learning more about...

I went to refuel and noticed the inside of my fuel cap is all rusty/corroded. I thought diesel being oily would protect vs corrode. I don't get it. I replaced the cap but wonder what's going on? Why is diesel corroding my fuel cap. I always use fresh/clean diesel. Now I wonder what's going...

Hi everyone. I have a John Deere 1070 and am having a problem with the clutch or clutch pedal. The clutch pedal doesn't have any free travel in the up (foot off) position. When I depress the clutch pedal, the tractor is fully disengaged within about 1 inch of travel. This also affects the...

I have noticed the following going on with my JD 1070. MFWD and roughly 1500 hours. When the weather is cold out (below 40 F), when the tractor is started and initially put into gear upon releasing the clutch there is a slight grinding noise that comes from the transmission. This is not a...

Hello, First post here. I have a Deere 1070 and I was using it to mow with an 8' flail mower. I've used this mower for a number of years. I don't think the issue is because of the mower but thought I'd mention it. I was running through a fallow field and the tractor started smelling really...

I falled some large douglas fir trees down in a gulley. I'm just trying to estimate if it's too steep an incline/decline for my JD1070 4 wheel drive with loader/rear blade and filled tires. Maybe I'm being too paranoid but where do you draw the line in determining if a steep grade is OK to...

I have a JD 1070 tractor with a non-functional tachometer. There is no needle present in the instrument cluster for the tachometer gauge. Both fuel gauge and temperature gauge work fine, as does the hour meter. The backlights in the instrument cluster also do not work. On occasion when...

A friend of mine gave me the plow side of a year old Boss V-plow after it was involved in a minor accident. The damage is all in the center pin/pivot area. He kept the hydraulics and truck mount. I have a '94 1070 with 4wd, mmm, FEL and heated cab and I'm thinking the v-plow on my tractor would...

The steering cylinder on my JD 1070 is leaking pretty badly. I have ordered new seals for both the cap (gland) as well as the piston. I suspect my leak is the seal between the gland and the body of the cyliner. My question is how to get the cap (gland) off? A picture is attached. If i put a...

How do I get the front cowling off to replace a Deere 1070 battery? Original battery from purchase (1997 model)

I was wondering if anyone knows about jd 72" mower decks. I recently found a belly mower hardware kit for 72 mower deck for $100. Will any of the john deere 72 decks work. I know it's compatible for all the 70 series and the 55. Will the decks for the newer 3000 3320 3520 etc. Or how about...

I bought a JD 1070 at auction a couple of weeks, seems like a decent tractor. Starts and runs great, but I am having 3 point hitch problems. After I bought the tractor I ran into the mechanic that worked at the golf course that went bust and had to be auctioned. He said my tractor had a FEL...

I looked at A 1070 tractor that is a 4X4 and has 4800 hours on it. It had Hyd for a loader and rear Hyd on it. . Were these a good tractor? The engine runs like a top and it looks like new as it had been stored inside. I was wondering about the hours and how many could you expect before the...

When switching the ignition switch to 'off', from engine running, the engine continues to run for anything from 10-30 seconds. Any clues as to the cause and its repair? Any guidance appreciated. Rodent.

Looking at a 1993 Deere 1070 tractor 4x4 to replace my old Ferguson 35. The Ferguson 35 has a Davis 102 loader run off a front mount Cesna 20GPM pump. What are the chances the loader will fit the Deere. Appears attached to the Fergie with two big bolts on the frame under the radiator, and...

I am having problems with my Hydraulics on my 1070. I recently made a trade for a non running 1070. After an engine rebuild and new injector pump, I have no hydraulics. The first mistake I made was filling the tractor with regular Hy Gard instead of the low viscosity stuff. Once the 3 point...

I dropped the keys in the snow and then inserted it in the ignition switch. I think the moisture shorted the switch. I can not get any electrical items to turn on. I am hoping JD has a fuse in the circuit to prevent any serious damage. Please advise if you have any suggestions for this fix. Thanks!

I am looking for the threaded section for my right lift arm on my Deere 1070 mine is bent

I've got a Deere 1070 w/MFWD, and I accidently high centered the tractor on a log and bent the FWD shaft. If I roll the shaft on a flat surface, it looks to be bent about 3/8". It seems to work fine, but I'm worried that I'll quickly wear out the bearings if I leave it as is. Is this...

Hi, I have a JD1070 with model 80 bucket/loader. On occasion my right leg accidently applies pressure to the SVC joystick and the bucket goes to the dump position. Is it as simple as reversing the two hydraulic hoses that control the bucket? I'd rather have it so that movement away from the...

I own a 1994 JD 1070 which has gremlins messing with the temperature gauge for at least the past ten years. It has been worked on by two different dealerships. There are still problems. It appears the humidity might have something to do with its intermittent operation. The sending unit has...

I currently have a John Deere 1070 with turf tires. I priced ag tires and rims last year and found them a bit too pricey. Finding used Ag tires with rims has proved fruitless. A dealer contacted me with R4 tires off of a 990 that would fit on the 1070 and maintain the rolling ratio. The...

Got a buddy who wants to put a grapple on his 1070. I know Deere sells a rear remote kit I'm told is for a backhoe that is the same a PB but I'm wondering if the kit is even really needed as he plans on putting a valve up on the loader frame and would run the hoses straight there instead of the...

Hey Guys, I need some help. My JD1070 is acting funny. I can't get it to go into gear. It almost acts like the clutch is still engaged even when I have the clutch peddle fully pressed down. This just started all of a sudden. Last time I operated it no problem. I go out to run it and this...

I have a chance to buy a 390 front blade for my 1070 4x4 and I was wondering if they are made strong enough to push more than snow,such as dirt and gravel or if they're pretty limited to snow. I have a back blade now but thought the hydraulic angling would be nice. I see they don't really offer...

I was operating on an asphalt road the other day when my 1070 started making a God aweful sound like the tranmission just blew up. I stopped the tractor and found I could still move. I drove the unit back to the house and started looking. Here the shield that covers the driveshaft (going to...

I noticed a spark on the right side (sitting on the seat) of my tractor when I started her last. I had a friend start it so I could actually see where the spark was. It came from a rusted bolt, maybe the ground for the battery, on the right side. The bolt actually got red! I tried to start her...

Good Morning All! I've been on the forum before, but haven't posted. I own a John Deere 1070 which I really enjoy and I am glad to see other 1070 owners out there. Yesterday, brush hogging, I had a flat front tire. It was a slow leak and I was able to get it back to the house and I will call...

It is getting extremely more and more difficult for me to get parts for my 1985 JD 750. These days I am hearing more of "no longer available". I know this is a Yanmar product as is the above mentioned tractors and was wondering if those tractors are also tough to get parts for especially since...

I went to the barn yesterday and pulled out my JD1070 and noticed where it was parked had a large dark oily spot. It turns out I have a pinhole leak in my fuel tank. I can put a toothpick in the pinhole. JD wants $430 for a new tank. I think I'll tap the hole and put a screw in it then seal...

I have been leaning toward a new L3400 for all the reasons you buy new, but see a clean NH 1920 (800 hours) and a JD 1070 w/Curtis Cab in the 12,500-13,000 range on dealer's lots. Primary use is going into the woods and chipping, so the higher pto hp of the older tractors is attractive. I will...

My JD 1070 is approaching 10 years old but it only has 49 hrs. on the clock. The JD manual calls for a hydraulic fluid change every 400 hrs. That'll be another 70 years!!! Is there a time interval where hydraulic fluid should be changed?? Does anyone know the capacity of a JD1070. My manual...
