    Deere 310G Alternator Battery Problem

    Glad you found your problem and got it fixed. Sometimes those electrical problems can be a real pain to figure out. The manual was the smartest money I ever spent. Just finished overhauling both stabilizer cylinders and don't know how I would have done it without the manuals. They had been...

    John Deere 310G Stabilizer overhaul help

    The fellow that helped me out with the larger tools is a Challenger jet mechanic and we got talking about the cost of repair parts. Although airplane parts are very expensive, as a function of total equipment cost vs. repair parts cost, equipment parts are PRICIER than jet parts. As and...

    John Deere 310G Stabilizer overhaul help

    It is a good feeling to accomplish a task that I have never done. Being in the HVAC repair business I enjoy fixing things that are broken. I got everything from Deere in Dallas. I did it more for speed and convenience and I was able to speak with the service manager ref. installation...

    John Deere 310G Stabilizer overhaul help

    Smoking gun found As I tore the parts down I could not find the "smoking gun" that caused my severe internal leakage until I took apart the piston seal. Under the seal the expander ring was completely torn apart and missing several sections. IMO the last person working on the cylinder just...

    John Deere 310G Stabilizer overhaul help

    Disassembly complete I finally got around to working on my stabilizer since our temps are under 100*. The procedure was pretty straight-forward but some of the parts need to be persuaded with a bigger hammer. I followed the directions in the CTM for the hydraulic cylinder removal. My type...

    JCB 214-4T Purchase Evaluation

    FWIW, I have never owned or operated a JCB but have owned 3 John Deeres. I bought my 301G 4x4 last year with about 1800 hrs. on the clock. It too was a rental in past life so it was ridden hard. What I like about the Deere is that the manuals are available for a reasonable cost if you...

    John Deere 310G Stabilizer overhaul help

    I'm going to try one My aviation mechanic friend looked at the manual and said we should be able to overhaul the cylinders. I ordered one kit and will be able to try it in two weeks once my work slows down. I'll go ahead and take some photos and hopefully help others who are thinking about...

    John Deere 310G Stabilizer overhaul help

    I have a JD 310G with a severe stabilzer drift. I performed the test for leakage and the manual specifies .6oz leakage per minute when operating the control, fluid literally sprays across the shop. I am moderately mechanically able, have replaced the engine in a previous hoe, taken tracks off...

    Stabilizer driftdown help

    I've posted earlier about my JD 310G stabilizer drift. I have all the test and repair manuals now and believe I have isolated the problem to the lockout valve. The only problem now is that according to the repair manual, the only repairable parts on the loader/stabilizer valve are the spool...

    310D finally retired

    Neither truck is mine The blue truck was a fellow who was contracted to deliver the old 310D to the purchaser. The white truck was the guy who I bought the hoe from...negotiated the delivery in the price. The new Deere is much tighter than the D model, thousands of hours less use! Of...

    IMO I'd use the Deere coolant. Lots cheaper than replacing the liners.

    Hi from Afghanistan - JCB working hard pictures

    Thanks for your service Ozark! I hope you are helping take care of my son and the 2/1 Marines! I have owned JD310's for the past 15 years. I agree with the other posters, a BH can do a lot of things good, but nothing great. If you have two machines and operators, I'd go with the excavator...

    John Deere 310G lockout valve removal help

    I'm finally sick of my stabilizer drooping and not keeping the hoe level when I work. I have the TM1885 and the parts repair manual but can't get my R & R manual to load....should have burned a copy to disc.:Banghead According to my TM manual (except below), I need to check the valves and...

    Any gotchas with a DT466?

    Dt466e? Have also found a potential truck a year newer with the 466E engine. I'm a little concerned about the electronic portion. Has anyone had a bad/good experience with the electronics on this engine?

    Any gotchas with a DT466?

    Its got the 6+1 transmission, very easy to shift with or without the clutch. Air PTO, air gate, good virgin rubber and air-ride seat. The RPM gauge doesn't work and the bed has the usual dings and the pintle hitch needs lowered for my use but it seems as though it is a solid older truck. Its...

    310D finally retired

    Sold my old faithful JD310D. Over the years she has built houses, septic systems, cleared creekbeds, buried livestock and given me both pain and pleasure (pain when the #3 piston exited the block and pleasure showing my son how to operate it) First photos show the old girl going to the new...
