Our JD 50 series had a muffler shroud/heat deflector that vibrated when a certain engine speed was reached. Muffler on this tractor is on right hand side . the metal toolbox by left door also will rattle at times.

Last tires ( mud grips) I bought for the Roxor was about May of 2019 and got them on line from Simple Tire. They have coupons sometimes . There is a local privately owned small business that is tops though. We take our farm stuff there and he is always fair on prices. Sadly there are very few...

Good job. Cutting the wind is what you're after. The heater is a nice thing too. I made my Roxor a half door for Dixie (safety) with plywood and added a cheap slam latch (amazon). It works pretty good on the plywood. I think it takes too long to unzip a door and my puppy would likely...

I mailed one to a member a few years ago. I think it was pushing $40 for the shipping . I might could find the post ,not that it matters. But for an idea. edit, I found it .. shipping was $40.

If I remember correctly, its the cast iron yolk and the steel splined shaft wearing on each other .The hard steel splines cause the softer cast iron to just wear faster.

My bil only uses JD hyd and engine oils in his tractors. He's had JD tractors since the 1960's. We still have the 2 original 4020s . and have 3 others much newer , 2 of which have the unappealing dpf . The cheap oils can cause misery with wear . It's like the Clint Eastwood movie... "for a...

WOW !!!

I'm getting there Doc. Finally getting on medicare in Nov and ditching my ridiculous 4 digit premium to UHC that's almost half my salary. Whew... I love the forum and appreciate the hard work you and Zoom do. Count me in and don't worry about sending anything as postage is outrageous nowadays...

I can't remember the details but remember the careful grinding/sanding down to alter. Like I mentioned, I'd never do it that way again. I wish you the best.

Thank you Aurthuritis. I did the rears on the 05 I had ,and used some aftermarkets ujoints that member Mark S sibole recommemded. That was in the first ujoints post I did, and I had to alter them a bit. I'd never ever do that again though. I had to use a hydraulic press to get the old ones...

We bought a glass door for our JD tractor off of e bay and saved $$ even with shipping. Also bought one for the Cat 262D3 there and saved several hundred $ by passing dealer. Same quality as original and fit perfect. I went to e bay and snooped around for this. I was surprised at the $$ of...

If the key is turned onto accessories, it's likely running the meter up . Some cig lighter plugs only work if the key is on accessory.

I used that idea on my 2005 2 pc shaft. If I remember right, it involved adding a piece of rubber hose to act as a damper between the 2 pc haft and the joint . The single piece is different . I no longer have my last 2011 RTV so would try jacking it up and wiggling everything by hand.

I can't remember exactly how I did this but thinking back, I rotated the shaft back and forth as I pushed it in. Thinking it was sort of like a combination lock as the many gear plates moved as I wiggled the shaft as I pushed it in. I don't remember like I once did though.

It looks like the 3 ph lift illuminated. Did you check the fluids to make sure that the rebuilder added fluid? ? Probably did but was just making sure.. I usually go by the old saying "never trust nobody".

this is what I was talking about on our JD having one - don't know if yours has it though. Just posting what I found. 32 minute mark.

I see that that is an orange tractor. Our big John Deere had one of those on the side in a metal can type holder and was hard to get loose we we got the warning it needed changing.. Sorta looks like an old metal oil filter can type filter . I 'm think Messick's would have a diagram of the...

bump for a friend

Safety switches ?

If that fails, Have you tried to rotate/wiggle the blades by hand ? I once got a stick stuck in my blades, it killed the mower and I had to wiggle the blades loose to get it out of gear. Thinking this model has a slip clutch ?
