I bought my JD 4310 a couple of years ago, and have had nothing but praise for it, until last weekend. I have to wonder what kind of engineers Deere has to put a venting 'wet' battery in front of the rad. and trans cooler just to suck acid fumes through these expensive pieces?? I bought a new Optima 'Dry Cell' battery and replaced the original battery as it was dead and wouldn't hold a charge. Well I put in the new battery and go to start the tractor, NOTHING??? I got out the trusty circuit tester and found that my positive battery connection was not letting any power through to the starter. Stripped the insulation back and yuck!!! Talk about corrosion??? I cut it off and replaced it, jumped on the tractor and away she went. Hopefully I caught it in time and I've saved the rad.??? My only other beef with this machine is that the loader drops steadily??? Is there an adjustment for this problem?
