Hi all, I’m trying to replace the oil tube on a 1998 JD 4100, part number LVA800157. I got the tube disconnected, but I can’t get the tube out because it runs over top of a large cross-bolt under the tractor that seems structural. The oil tube has a bunch of bends and I can’t fenagle it out...

Yanmar 3TNE74 engine. I put in a used engine 200h ago. Used Walmart supertech 15w40. Changed it tonight with Delo XLE with isosyn. Thought I wanted a "better" oil, but now I'm thinking on an old engine it might be best just to keep it simple. What do you think?

Battery not charging, 12.7 volts at battery while running I think it should be 13.5 to 14.5 . There are only 2 small wires on the alternator I pulled the plug apart and checked voltage while running, have 24 volts AC so my problem is probably the voltage regulator? any thoughts.

Hi All, Long time lurker for my 318, but recently picked up a 4100 and looking for some advice. Wanted to change all filters/fluids. Went to the dealer and picked up Low Viscosity Hy-Gard for the transmission. Asked for two gallon jugs of their 80W-90 as well because the manual states that GL-5...

Anyone have an idea where I can get some reasonably priced used rear fenders for the 4100? The new ones are above $600 each and I can't afford it. I just recently got tractor and I'm trying to bring it back to life.

As the title suggests, is there a hydraulic release lever or nut that can be turned so the wheels can free-wheel and prevent damage to the hydraulics like you might find on a Z-Trac or smaller tractor? And then there is the question of how would you steer it and what to do with the loader while...

This is for a buddy who inherited a JD 4100HST at his new job. Who ever worked it before, for some reason pulled the safety wires off the prongs under the seat left side ( the Safety Switch and HydFluid level sensor ) and bridged the wires and taped them up. What he discovered was : The Unit...

The engine of my JD4100 HST stalls after engaging the PTO switch in all 3 positions of the PTO selector handle, even without load. Since the PTO-solonoid works OK I suppose the hydraulic PTO brake doesn't release. After a week the problem resolved without any reason Does anyone know what's the...

I was mowing the other day with my JD4100 compact utility tractor and it started making a grinding noise. Brought it into the garage and noticed oil leaking out of the front axle where the drive shaft enters the front axle for what I believe operates the front tires when in 4 wheel drive. It...

Hi, I have been searching the forums for a while trying to figure out what size box blade to get for my JD 4100 (20 hp). I am leaning toward a 60" to get a little more done at once. The width of the tractor at the back tires is roughly 46-47" so a 48" blade would be cheaper and would just...

I have a pb kit on my JD 4100. The hoses that came with the kit have an odd cone inside the female fitting on the hose. It's a parker fitting, but has no part #. I've been searching for a little while and haven't been able to find one like it on the net. Is it a japanese flare? Thanks guys

After picking up a 5' Bush Hog Box Blade for a JD 4100, I am experiementing with what we can do. It makes for a great counter balance for the FEL. But more than that, I would like to get better at grading. Filling in behind a retainer wall, I want to smooth out the top grade. Can I allow the...

What is good price?

I have a 1999 JD 4100 with HST. By doing the stupid thing and trying to engage the diff lock while the rear wheels have been spinning, I have stripped gears or broken something in the differential. So now the diff lock does not work any longer. My local dealer is basically refusing to do the...

Hello! I've had a little problem with having a dead battery. I hooked up a flamming river disconnect switch to see if that would fix it and it seems like it could be the alternator. After charging the battery on a slow charge overnight the charge was at 12.68 volts. I parked it outside...

Just finished 99% of the fab work for the attachment. Got lots of pictures but I'd thought I'd start with a teaser. HAha:laughing: I needed a fork attachment for my FEL, but didn't like the prices. Decided to make an attachment I could use my 3pt fork attachment and move or use the others I...

I have a loose axel on the right front of a JD4100. Oil leaks through the worn area. I have the tire off and the eight bolts are removed from the M807518 COVER. Any ideas on how to get the cover off now? The tech manual says (page 5-66) "5. Remove eight cap screws (A). Remove the final drive...

Can a JD 47 Backhoe be attached to a 4100, perhaps with a special bracket?

Hi, I have been looking for a first tractor for a couple of months now and I just wanted your input as to whether the deal I found is a good one or not. I found a 1998 JD 4100 with loader, back blade, ballast box, and 54" belly mower for $9125. It has 480 hours and appears to be in pristine...

New here. Recently acquired a 4100 with FEL. Noticing some play or slop in the right front wheel assembly when front wheels are lifted off the ground. Also notice the front wheel (left only) will turn when in 4WD when front wheels are off the ground but don't see any front wheel action when the...

Hi all, Towmater here! I'm considering getting a 3point hitch finishing mower. Will a John Deere 4100 with the Yanamar diesel engine be able to handle a 72" width deck or is that just to much for it? Thanks much!

I guys I found that the oil qty in my jd 4100 is increasing by diesel fuel, whats the problem and how to solve it myself

In particular I want to make sure my temperature light in the dash works and will come on if my engine were to overheat. It does not come on briefly, like some lights do when you turn on the key, to let you know its working. How can I test it to make sure it is indeed functioning. FYI - my...

Hello everyone! Recently got a Deere 4100 4x4 hydro and discovered a very bad oil leak just above the front, right final gear drive. When I put oil in the fill hole on top of the front axel it all ran out of the seal (see diagram attached) until oil wouldn't even read on the dipstick. So I...

Hi All, I want to get a front John Deere snowblower for my recent purchase of a John Deere 4100. Can anyone tell me the model number of snow blower I need? Tractor is a 4100, 3cyl diesel, 1999. Thank you in advance!!! Tomater

First Post! Is there an adjustment to stop my tractor quickly after I remove my foot from the forward peddle? When I am mowing and using high range the tractor will roll farther than I like, I can't see any adjustment the return appears to be internal to the transmission, any help is appreciated.

I see there are many backhoes available like the Wallenstein and some Woods, 3 pt style and I wonder if a small tractor like the 4100 can accomodate one? In my case, this is for strictly residential home use, not commercial. I do not expect to try to dig out large stumps either, maybe small ones...

Hey Guys! Brand new here, but really appreciate you guys as a reference while shopping this out. I found a John Deere 4100 in better than average shape for a less than average price. Very eager to get her to work when the weather breaks here in Tennessee. One question: While searching for an...

Hi, I have a John Deere 4100 With a Curtis Cab. My cab has the split glass windshield. the lower part of the windshield was frozen and when I went to try to free it, it appears that the upper hinge broke, the window just flops down now. I cannot see how it was ever attached to make it hinge...

So I sold a BX2230 that I had for about a year - loved the machine but didn't want to mow with it anymore and had a hard time selling the deck so I sold it all (loader, mower, bagger, snowblower) - I've now come across a JD4100 with about 185 hours, cab w/ heat, 60" bucket, 3pt spreader and 3pt...

I have a JD 4100. Has operated fine for many years. Yesterday I was driving it and I noticed the discharge light (battery) was on. Then I smelled a really strong burning smell and I saw smoke coming from the shroud underneath the control panel. Today I took it apart today and found that...

My neighbor needed money and decided to sell his tractor. He sold a well maintained and like new looking John Deere 4100 with industrial tires, loader, mmm, box blade, rototiller, weed sprayer and front forks for $7500. The tractor had had less then 1000 hours. That seemed cheap but I guess if...

I cannot get my JD 4100 to start. When I turn the key it just cranks. If I play with the PTO switch on the dash a bit, I can start it occasionally. I could hear the fuel solenoid right before I crank it and starts. When the tractor was working properly, I could here the fuel solenoid all the...

Looking hard at the King Kutter TG 48 or 60 for my 2000 JD4100 CUT. The 48 has offset hitch -- which -- in my case is a bad thing. If it was centered it might just cover the tracks. So I'd prefer to get the 60 to cover tracks on both sides, but is that going to be just way too big for the...

Anyone know the part number for glow plugs for a John Deere 4100? Thanks

I'm having a really hard time finding tires for my tractor. I have a 2000 John Deere 4100 4x4. The rear tires are 315/75/D15 or 12.4x9.3 x15 I have worn out turf tires and would like to get some Ag (R1, etc) tread tires. Thanks and great forum!

Whats the chances of adapting this to a 4100? All I know so far is the opening is 22 wide //23 high

I have a pretty good idea on making and adding a port from the power beyond of my trator. If anyone would like to share complete details on all needed materials ect., I would appreciate this. I will be feeding a log splitter spool valve from this add on. I know I can by a kit but I like doing...

So i found alittle 4100 the other day. Its in good shape(7 OUT OF 10) WITH 465HRS. Now im just wondering what its worth? It has the factory loader(53" quick detach) and a quick hitch(3 Point) with a JD 467 tiller. Now its a hydro MFWD and like i said in average shape. It also has a weight box...

Greetings from Upstate NY, this is my first time posting, been reading for awhile. Need some outside advice from a bigger audience, my father purchased a JD 4100 fel compact last year with a 51" BerVac 3pt snowblower. The problem is the snowblower doesn't blow the snow far enough, he is...

Hi, I have a JD 4100 and the battery light has been flickering on and off when the the pto is engaged. It just started doing it this week. I really need to cut the yard. Is it ok to mow with the battery light flickering on and off?

Looking at buying a JD 4100 - 425 hours, 20 hp, 3 cycle diesel, 3 position pto, has a 60" finishing mower, and scraper blade for $8500. Says it has the extra wide lug tires, new battery, and has always been stored out of the elements. What do you guys think?

My first post...thanks in advance for any assistance. The technical manual says that the steering cylinders are not servicable and must be replaced in whole (not repaired). However, looking at the JD parts website, they show a blowup of the cylinder and individual parts of it! The cylinder is...

I am going to buy used, and so far I have been interested in the 2305 and the 4100 (older I know) and now the 2325. The 2305 is out for me now because of the cat 1 hitch limitations. Is there a good comparison between the older 4100, or maybe 4010 and this newer 2300 series? Should I even...

What would be a good price range for either a 54in or 60in mid mount mower in good to excellent condition for a JD 4100?

I have a JD4100 that quit working. It would not start so I jump started it and after it started and I removed the jumpers it ran for a minute and then a POP sound and poof of smoke came out around the fuel filter area. I shut the tracto off quick and examined and did not see anything that jumped...

I stupidly left my JD4100 parked outside this weekend, not realizing that last night's low was going to be so cold. When I went to start it, it cranked over, but didn't seem like the fuel was flowing or maybe just not vaporizing. I cycled the glow plug on for several seconds before each...

Anyone know what front mount snow blades fit the 4100? Need the one that is quick interchange with the snowblower. Are the blades from the 700 series garden tractors the same? Can I reference a serial number anywhere online? Also would like to know how a mid-mount mower for the 4100 is...

Hi, This might sound like an odd request but I wonder if there is anyone what can tell me the approximate dimensions for the quick hitch for the 4100. I'm looking at buying one of the net and want to get estimated shipping costs but need dimensions. What is the approximate overall: Width...

hi I was doing my 500 hour service and I drained the hydraulic transmission. When I was replacing the fluid with new, I by accident, put in a gallon(at least) of contaminated (old) transmission fluid. I didn't notice and I used the machine for a few months with the contaminated fluid (it was...

I have a JD4100 that's about 5 1/2 years old. I guess it's a 2003 maybe. It's the last year of production. I'm considering purchase of an electric sprayer to mount on the 3PH. Any idea were I can tap off the power to run the pump on the sprayer? I think they are diaphragm pumps and don't draw...

I am looking to replace the tires on my newly purchased 4100 HST w/FEL The current tires are to aggressive, I would like to replace but the tire dealer indicates that to keep the proper turning rations from front to back I will need new rims. He does not have a 1 to 1 replacement to offer...

I have a problem with the rockshaft of my JD 4100. Several months ago the 3 pt stayed up. would not lower after playing with the lever it finally worked. I used the front end loader and put a counterweight on the 3 pt (650lbs) when I was done I went to remove the weight so I could install the...

I see a nice 72" NH finish mowe for sale. Would a 72" be way too big for my JD 4100 HST? Mostly I'll be mowing fescue that's around the house. I have a Sears riding mower now that's a 42" cut and maybe a 12HP B&S engine that keeps my bluegrass just fine. But we are moving to larger...

I have been looking into SCUT's and CUT's for the last year or so and have come to the conclusion that a new tractor is more than I can afford. As a result I have been concentrating my efforts on searching for a used one. I found a JD 4100 locally. It has 130 hours and is outfitted with a 410...

Anyone know if you can still find new 410 loaders for my 4100 tractor? If not new, are used ones easy or hard to come by? Any leads would be great. Thanks.

Can someone please provide the lifting capacity of my JD 4100, 410 loader? Any suggestions as to the proper fork attachment for my equipment? I don't want to over-purchase an attachment that is too heavy and therefore limit my lifting capacity. I was thinking I would purchase the lightest set...

I got my 4100 new and now when I go to the dealer to get the hyd filter they try to hand me a fatter filter that I do not think will fit if/when the front PTO is being used by the mower etc. Just by measuring, it looks like the collar on the mower pto collar will either rub or be very close to...

My 4100 is cutting out. First I thought it was a fuel problem but I changed the filter etc. and have concluded it is electrical. Something is clicking right when it cuts out. It may be a bad seat switch?...how do I jump to see if that is the problem? What else can cause this to happen? Is there...

I just bought a JD 4100 hst with 410 FEL with teeth and a 54" mmm. The machine has 670 hours on it. I have done countless hours of research on this site and many others before deciding to make this choice in machines. I also just bought 24 acres on wich i will be using the 4100. The JD came with...

As some of you know I was looking at the John Deere 3320 and the Kubota L3130. I drove them, both of them were great machines however, I just don't know if I would use it enough to justify buying a brand new 16k+ tractor. So, I was gandering on machine finder and I found what looked to be like...

I will be adapting a 72" western type (with trip springs) plow to attach to a JD 4100 and am wondering if it would be best to put it on the loader arms or on the (quick tatch?) braket where a front snowblower would go. The two major diff. would be distance away from front wheels on loader arms...

I own a JD 4100 and I am having a major problem. The pto engauge is on the left and when I engaugae it to the mid or rear pto it sticks and will not go back into disengauge. So when I started last time, I got off the pto it stayed engauged and now it will not start beacause of the pto being...

I haven't had time to check the owners manual yet but has anyone had a problem with the 3PH lower arms hitting the bars on ag tires if something (brushcutter) swings to one side?

Here's the deal. I have a JD4100 and am looking for a seat with some springs or other type of suspension. My tractor, with R4s, rides really hard. My ground isn't too smooth and I'll admit to not lowering my tire pressure when mowing vs. using my loader. I had lowered the pressure and then went...

I was reviewing the specs of the JD4110 since it's basically the same machine as the 4100 from what I understand, and at the bottom of the page at JD's website it says </font><font color="blue" class="small">( Country of Origin: Japan)</font> So was my JD built in USA or Japan? Reference...

I want to add a couple of flood type lights to JD-4100. Anyone have and suggestions, recommendations or words or wisdom.

Anyone know where to find a new/used/rebuilt engine for a JD4100? 3cyl, Yanmar 3TNE74. My JD dealer estimated $3600 to rebuild the engine I have, and $5700 to install a new engine. That's total price - parts, labor. I've tried calling Yanmar distributors, but the word back is JD specs the...

Looking for how to diagnose the problem and options to resolve. JD 4100 has 3 cyl Yanmar engine with 1093 hours. I bought it used at 1079 hours. From 1079 to about 1088 it used about a quart. I did a filter/oil change. From 1088 to 1093 it used 33oz. It was a rental. Previous owner is...

Help me! What\'s the value of this JD4100 Wouldn't ya know. About the time I've decided I want to buy a new JD, a deal on a used 4100 comes along that I might not be able to pass up. So I ask for your help. Model year 2001 John Deere 4100 w/ 912 hours (one owner), turf tires. JD410 loader JD...

I am looking at a JD 4100 with hydrostatic drive and a 410 bucket. It is coming up for sale from a rental place that is going out of business. The total hours are between 1500 and 1600. Not sure of the year. It is a little beat up but have rented it and it runs well. Any ideas on what this would...

JD 4100 with MMM---what kind of \"cotter keys\" In one year I must have lost 6 or more pins that hold the mower on---or 3PH arms ect. I have used the "hairpin" style (one side straight and the other has --bumps-- that wrap particilaly around the pin as you slide the retainer thru the pin) and...

Anyone done this? I am assuming we all define "tilt" as replacing the adjustable 3-point lift arm with a hydraulic cylinder, so an attachment then can be tilted. Thanks for input...

Which is a better machine for heavy home use. Mosty tilling, bush hog, york rake, FEL, landscape type work? Both look good, JD is a little more expensive. I think this comparison is apples to apples.. Thanks

Lots of landscaping to be done and am trying to decide on tractor. What are the advantages to Kioti over John Deere on these comparable models? Both are close in price range. JD is a little more? Haven't been able to get to a Kioti dealer to check out CK20 yet. Thnx

I am interested to know if anyone has added tilt to the JD4100, 4110, 4115. I have the top cylinder, but now feel I could benefit from having TILT. To be clear, I understand that TILT means replacing the adjusting lift arm mechanism with a hyd cylinder, so you can tilt an attachment. This...

The story was this: The a fellow moved to Ky and things did not work out the way he had planned and he moved back to Maine. Upside for me I got to buy his JD 4100 (Gear) with FEL at a good price because he did not need it back in Maine. Even got all the manuals, brochures, touch up paint, extra...

RE: possibly switching tires on my 2001 JD4100.... I am toying with switching from R3 turfs to industrial tires. This is due to almost getting stuck in two feet of snow in my side yard. I got out, but have never even come close to getting stuck with this tractor before. Basically, I had to...

Last weekend, I took apart the front wheel gearcase on my JD4100 to replace a leaking seal that was leaving annoying puddles of 90W on my garage floor. I re-assmbled it, and the bevel gear between the axle housing and the steering pivot housing binds like the clearances are wrong. As I was...
