    Blown cap on a JD310a Bucket cylinder

    I just had my cylinder for my JD310a rebuilt and was told the threads were weak. I installed it and the cap blew off. The threads are stripped, the cap will thread on but will not stay on. Is there a way to repair this? I was thinking of welding it on or drilling the cylinder where the set screw...

    My J.D has a stripped cylinder

    I am looking for a new cylinder if I can find one, I just had new seals installed but the threads were already worn. It is a JD 310A so it is from the early 70's. Can the threads be redone? I was just looking for options. I did see a complete machine at a local scrap yard but they insisted on...

    I need help with a 310a starter

    How did you know lol I guess that is next. Any ground wire long enough and at least #2 copper wire should work?

    I need help with a 310a starter

    Well I figured it out. After tearing the beast apart and examining all of the wires I found a lot of loose wires. The main problem though was corrosion between the ground clamp and the wire. There was enough contact to show good connectivity, but it could not carry the load. I cut it off...

    I need help with a 310a starter

    Thanks I will be going to the farm on Tuesday and will report back. When I tested the volts I put my meter between the battery terminal on the starter and ground, when I turned the ignition the volts went to 0. I was just thinking I always put the trans in park boy will I feel like a fool if I...

    I need help with a 310a starter

    Thank you for your response, The wiring is a mess. Is there a way to by pass it all and run a button or just a simple ignition switch? If I had a diagram it would be easy but the repair book does not have one. Does a diesel need power to run? When my battery died a while back it stopped...

    I need help with a 310a starter

    I started the 310 last month to keep everything lubricated but when I tried a few weeks later I could not get the starter to run. I took the starter to the shop and had it rebuilt. It was rusty inside so it needed the work. I installed it and had the same problem. I charged the battery, and...

    Water pump/fan belt replacement

    Thanks Spud Monkey, I guess I should have used the search. Only one more question, will the belt fit around the fan?

    Water pump/fan belt replacement

    I have a JD310 A and I just lost the fan belt. I hope no damage was done when it over heated because I was turned backwards. It hit 250. My question is do I have to take the radiator, fan, and the hydraulic pump out or is there an easier way to do it? I may have to shoot it if I have to pull...

    JD 310A clutch adjustment

    The linkage is clean, I turned the yoke 2.5 turns and ti is shifting better. I just dont want to burn it out. I have 2 JD manuels and each has a different way to adjust the clutch. One said to measure the pressure the other said to engage to touch the bearing then lengthen the rod 3 turns.

    JD 310A clutch adjustment

    So that is the only way? Other than having a service call what can I do without the gages, and tach?

    JD 310A clutch adjustment

    I am hoping someone here is old enough to remember a JD 310 A. I finally got things working well but I think I have to adjust the clutch. The book said to use a tachometer run it at 2500 rpms and check for 1500 psi. . There has to be an easier way. Can I measure pedal free play as in other...

    I would like to thank everyone on this forum for the amount of help, and incredible advice you have given me. Thanks to you I have been able to keep this machine going. I have what may be another problem. When I am driving the RPMs seem higher than the speed might indicate. Also In the high...

    Cleaning the lines after a pump failure

    Well I got it back together and it works well but it still needs more flushing. I am going to pull the screen on the tranney side of the filter to see if it is clean. Has anyone used Travelers oil from Tractor Supply. I was told to use Wolfs Head even though the Travelers meets the JD specs.

    Cleaning the lines after a pump failure

    My JD 310 A had a pump failure which seized it up. I replaced the pump with a used one I found, but the system was open while I repaired the crank and replaced the pulley. How can I clean the lines to make sure there is no water, rust or other material in the lines. I do not want to replace...
