Sounds like a fine setup. About the only things you'll actually NEED will be a diesel fuel can and some spare shear bolts for your cutter. Other things that come in handy will depend on what you are doing. Various clevis's for the drawbar are nice. Some chain for dragging things. Spare lynch pins for the tph (they always seem to walk away). A rear work light is great. Hooks on the FEL bucket are especially handy.

Again, depends on what you intend to do, but there is no shortage of "stuff" to accumulate if you want /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

What is your intended use of the tractor?


The list, so far, pretty much includes everything you'll need initially.

You may want to think about an optima battery to replace the stock one.Mine was fine for a while but the violent shaking of it has caused some juice to jump out and corrode parts of the hold down assembly and the place where the battery sits.I cleaned it and tried to neutralize with baking soda, then dried everything and painted over the bad spots. A few weeks ago I looked under the hood before starting and it would seem that my efforts to stop the acid attack were less than perfect.To me it is going to be worth 109 dollars to stop this for good.

I'd recommend a grille gard, when the salesman told me how much, I said "for that?" I figured I would make one that was better. Long story short its cheaper than new grill parts and the grief involved.

A hydraulic top link will make the whole tractor or any tractor immensely more usable. Of course, that will depend on your use, but even a mower will benefit from a hydraulic top link. If JD is still using the acid leaking mess, I would agree, take out that battery and get soemthing else, it makes mess. You can use that battery for a power sprayer or something. Those are the two immediate things I would want.

My battery didn't leak, but the connectors kept corroding. In my case, the dealer replaced the battery and put real cables on under warranty.

Everything else has been fine. It is a real nice machine. You are going to be very happy.
