    John Deere 4.5L not shutting down

    Here's something weird I recently discovered with my 28 Model A powered by a John Deere 4.5L Turbodiesel. I started experiencing a strange phenomenon when shutting it down. Randomly when I turn the key off, it would continue running for a while. I have a lighted, red, push-to-start button button...

    2000 JD 310SE MFWD front axle problem

    So I removed the front driveshaft. I can use the machine at least now. With the front wheels off the ground when I spin the wheel with the driveshaft off, it feels fine. When I do that the pinion yoke spins. That's telling me the entire differential/ring gear is turning. Now if I grab the...

    2000 JD 310SE MFWD front axle problem

    Thank you. I really appreciate you helping out. Always good to learn from the experienced. I doubt it's the trans because when you rotate the wheels the driveshaft doesn't turn. The spiders spin around the side gears. That's why I think it might be thedifferential. I feel a bad notchiness while...

    2000 JD 310SE MFWD front axle problem

    All the time yes. That's why I think it's in the axle not the trans. Not just when turning. On and Off. Worse when turning though. Thinking spider gears. U-Joints do not look bad. Axle MS-2025 Axle S/N 74878 Tractor S/N 878927

    2000 JD 310SE ZF 2025 front axle I've noticed something strange with this hoe. Some erratic jumping of the front axle. Lifted it with the bucket and turned the tires. Feel a notchiness. Afraid it's the differential. Took the right side planetary plug out... looking in there oil level good and...

    JD 310 SE basic questions

    Just picked it up yesterday. Waiting on manuals I ordered. This is the fourth hoe I've owned in 20 years so I'm pretty familiar. This is the manual shift with the shifter on the floor. What is the button on the gearshift for? Release clutch? When do you use it? To shift while moving?

    Questions about 2000 John Deere 310se

    I just bought an SE. I believe the shift pattern is H but 2nd and 3rd are back. In other words, 1st is left and forward 2nd is left and back 3rd is right and back 4th is right and forward.

    JCB 2010 3CX Non-Eco cold start stalling solved.

    Thanks. Yea I think the injectors were getting a little dirty. The additive really did the trick.

    JCB 2010 3CX Non-Eco cold start stalling solved.

    I first got this machine used in 2013. It was difficult to keep running upon initial start. Once warmed up all was good. I was concerned that this would be an ongoing problem. Last fall I dumped a some diesel fuel treatment along with a bottle of SeaFoam injector cleaner. I am very happy...

    Wombat HT 50 Skid Steer - Chinese Bobcat!

    The problem seems to be the ignition switch to starter solenoid area. It is also possible they spec'd too small of a wire for the solenoid circuit. By the time the juice gets to the solenoid there may not be enough. 12v doesn't travel far.

    Wombat HT 50 Skid Steer - Chinese Bobcat!

    Corrosion on the copper itself under the insulation should not cause issues unless the copper itself has corroded to the point of disconnect. Not very likely.

    Pictures of your Backhoe!!!!!

    When they are that big it takes a good hour of digging a trench around it and severing all the roots. Then I work it with the shovel curl, ripping dirt out of the underside till it's light enough to rock. Rock it for a while then it will break loose. After that I basically roll them into the...

    310D Hard start issue.

    My 310a began to stall then would not keep running. After doing web research I found a guy who helped me out big time. He said he could rebuild a pump on a tailgate of his truck in a matter of hours and have the tractor running again. The problem was the internal rotary governor is assembled...

    310C IP Pump

    You may have a dirty, corroded fuel tank. Mine began leaking at the bottom. Had to remove it and do a full restore.
