Used JD 110 TLB

Is there a way to quickly warm the hydraulics without causing any damage?
I've heard of putting a hose from one SCV coupler to the other then holding the SCV lever to warm hydraulic fluid.

Seems like a fully warmed up test drive is in order.

John Deere offers a transmission heater for the 110TLB. It fits inside the sump filter at the rear bottom of the transmission housing. Looks just like a block heater.

Works very well... in conjunction with the Lo-Vis hydraulic fluid! :thumbsup:

Last Feb. when we had record breaking low temperatures of -28F I am sure my 110 and 4520 would not start. I think I did the smart thing though, I left all the trucks and tractors alone, why try to start them if not absolutely necessary. I live about 90 miles north of El Paso TX, -28F is pretty darn cold for our locale.

That said I would recommend you have both transmission and engine heaters if you live in the northern climates to reduce wear on the machine.

It's been below zero here for the past 2 weeks straight. Last couple of nights it's warmed up to minus 4. Heat wave..!

Even with the heater's and synthetic motor oil, Lo-Vis hyd oil - the tractor's (if they're not used) take on a "concrete set" after 5-6 days. Hoar frost and ice crystals cover every surface. Some days; I'll turn the heaters on for 3-4 hours even if I know I'm not gonna use the tractor.

Just to keep everything from getting brittle.

It's a whole lot worse north of me around Fairbanks, though. When we've got -30F it's likely gonna be -50F up there.

Larry,
What I couldn't figure out was when this was happening last Feb we were alot colder than Kasilof AK. Colder than anywhere else for that matter, you would think the temeratures north of us would have been even colder.
