FACTORY 4210 4310 4410 MANUAL IS FUNNY...NOT

[gordon]

I might be going out on a limb here but by the style of writing this is the same del that was a member of tbn since the start and had a ton of posts. ??

Well if it is. How the heck have ya been?

Shame all your other posts dont come up, the old ones. Then people would realize real quick that you were only poking fun at the manual and not some nut just trying to muddy the water.

Hope all is well in your neck of the woods

Gordon,
I think that your are right, that this is same del that was with us a long time ago. I don't think that it is the tractors that he is having a problem with either. It is the manual as you said.
Welcome back del.

Hi Guys

Yep it's me.

Looks like April 2000 was a good year for tractor guys to
register eh?

I originally registered as "del" but promptly forgot my
password and was too embarrassed to ask Muhammad what it
was so I just started posting unregistered as "del..."

Those posts are still there I found some of them when I was
reviewing all the L35 posts and when I got back to 2000 and
2001 there they were. The rest are lost to posterity

Unfortunately I can't search under "del..." to find them
as there are a lot of other posts that have something like
"model..." in them that get in the way. It's fun to go back
and see what I was thinking 3+ years ago.

I'll just have to start blathering all over again!

Probably better they are buried, I'm one of the original
posters that I think get the following response...

"When is this guy going to get to the point?" /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Have been spending time buying additional property and
dealing with county and state officials. Those folks
are making me old and gray before my time I swear. Oops
there I go again. (no swearing) /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I learned from posting that only ignorants EVER use a
swear word so I'm going to put that information out to
guys every chance I get, especially strangers that out
size me by about 50%! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Recently I decided "TO /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif WITH IT ALL" (work) and
have been spending more tractor time beating back the bushes,
trying to cut all the downed trees before they rot and
in general having a jolly good time bouncing around on
my green orange blue machines.

Speaking of that funny manual, I just noticed that in the
"Selecting Tread Width" section it says the FRONT track is
wider with the valve stems mounted INWARD, but the REAR
track is wider with the stems mounted OUTWARD.

Hmm, does Deere really do this so one is one way and the other is the other?

Logic would say if you want the track moved IN you put the
stems IN.

I'm not complaining again mind you, just pointing out
something unusual so all you Deere guys please holster
your weapons/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

The R4 wheels look visually the same, I'll have to jam my
face down behind there with a tape measure...

It's so great to communicate with all you "2000" oldsters
and meet the new folks. I've learned a lot of things from
this board, the most important was that recall on the early
Kubota BX fuel tanks and 3 point hitches! I never would
have known that.

Re: LOADER NOT APPROVED VS TREAD WIDTH UPDATE.

Yep, manual is backwards on altering rear wheel track, from
the seam or flashing that runs down the center of tire width
is 42.0 inches with the valve stems OUTWARD.

I think part of the reason some of this is confused is they
don't separate out the 24 inch wheels from the smaller 17's
which are different types of wheels.

Front wheels don't have more then one position. Again, they
haven't separated out the 2WD and 4WD in the valve stem position
comments, just lumped all the tires together.

UPDATE:

I received an email from Deere, actually a form email tell-
ing me to contact my dealer who will contact Deere's technical
department for an answer.

I know the dealer has told me the techs he deals with are
top notch. This doesn't affect my use of the tractor one
way or another and I hate to waste his time asking Deere
why their operators manual is so at odds with their sales
presentations.

Hay to Del and Jerry, if I remember correctly tbn either updated it's server or something of that nature and we all had to re-register that month. Sort of like what happened to some people this past summer from what I understand. Good to see a few oldtimers around.

Jeez Del sounds like you got the standard run around from the big green one.
