I went and pick up a plow for the 140 the other day. I got it mounted and tried to move some dirt around. It seems the lift and angle want to work when they want to. i am kinda new to the deeres. Is there some where to check the fluid or would the problem be something else? TIA Austin |

Eric,
Craiglist, WFM, word of mouth, coworkers, fellow collectors tips, luck, driving around in the country with an eye for green and yellow.
I have had good luck looking on the backside of dealers. They usually have the newer stuff out front for sale, and some of the "rougher" stuff is in the rear. I have also found items that people have had in for service and once they found out how much the repair was they didnt do anything with it. I got the info from the dealer to contact the owner and bought it from them if I knew I could fix it up. Did that with a 140 with cracked steering gear (dealer told the owner it would be 200 in parts to fix it) and a 33 tiller with a loose drive chain that would flop around and jam up. Turned out the owner still had the rear pto and lift rod on his 317 at home so I met him and grabbed those parts too...
Andy,
I wonder if its for a sears 3pt since they only had the single beam for the upper part where the top link attached. |

Andy, I guess it isn't home made. I have a Brinly plow for my 400 and it came with the exact same top link. I had always assumed it was home made until I saw yours..

hey guys
i would like some help with a top link on a 3pt plow of mine, pic is below.
is it home made or something that could be bought from brinly/deere?
it is adjustable, the end to the left is a yoke and the end to the right is just flat stock with a hole.
thanks

Eric,
You have to look far and wide for JD's. We found a mint 120 is collapsed barn that took a month to get ahold of the owner. Some could be right under your nose. Phillip is right, get the word out on what youre looking for. Every one you get will most likely need some work. Its worth it when youre done though |

Eric,
Tell everyone you know and everyone you meet that you love old JD lawn mowers. You have to say lawn mower because most folks don't understand what a garden tractor is. The more feelers you put out, the more response you'll get.
I showed a local body shop owner one of my youtube plow videos about a year ago. He has since closed down the body shop and went to work for someone else. I saw him a week ago and he offered me a '71 112 for free. Now it's not in the best shape, and you can put your fist through the hole in the transaxle, but it's still a JD.
Keep your eyes and ears open and the word out there. You'll find some deals. |

Steve, have you ever boiled a pot of water with a lid on it? It makes the lid rattle when it is boiling real hard. That loose lid is the pressure relief valve. Make that a pressure cooker with no relief valve and it blows up. Same thing with a Hyd. system. To much pressure and some thing blows. The pressure relief allows the oil to by pass and return back to the tank and keeping the system with in the safe operating pressures. |

Gary Blackman, I am from Toledo, so yea, I know Monroe. Never heard of it either. My Dads place was right on Telegraph at Stateline Rd. Been to Monroe a lot and never heard of it. But, that is why I posted a pic of the name. Maybe some body has heard of it. I am going to put a tongue on it to tow it. |

Dennis, no comment on those but I went with these on my wheel Horse.
http://cgi.ebay.com/2-23X8-50-12-DURO-4P-Super-Lug-Tires-863215512-STR_W0QQitemZ330384926139QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item4cec79e5bb
Here they are installed. They are at max pressure though. Bringing them down to the 12psi flatened them out a little. I am very happy with these.

Steve, if you're looking to use it on a loader, there's one thing about using a hydraulic valve such as from a 318 is that it does not have a relief valve, which you should have in a loader hyd circuit. The regular valves used on a loader have a relief valve built into them. You could have a separate relief valve, but that would require extra plumbing.

I am sorry I can't tell you the link just yet, I some times lose track of where I have been on this site. I will look and see if I can find it and re post the link here or maybe in my history if I didn't clean it all out. |

Roger is correct on the 8010. Kellers purchased my grandfather's 4020 a few years back as it had the rare hydraulic front wheel assist. They gave it a full restoration and it even made it into a Randy Leffingwell calendar. They are very nice people with an amazing collection. Scott |

The only 8010 not converted is part of the Keller collection in Brillion WI. They bought the tractor directly from the JD plant in Waterloo where it had been used as a shop tractor doing among other things moving around railroad cars. It wasn't converted because of that. Roger |

Fellow near here had a pair of 720D's hooked together. Then there's Don Dufner's 830 Special in North Dakota. Google Don Dufner, there are a couple of videos of it, one plowing with a gang plow! ~~ Lowell |

Mike, any idea who owned that mated pair of Ds? There was a Deere collector in (I think)Minnesota who had a pair like that chained to a big rock beside his driveway. Last name was Tovar, IIRC, he died a couple years ago. The man hag a huge collection of JD tractors. He bought the first R model off the production line, I think he still had that as well as the only 8010 that didn't get converted to an 8020. |

Both valves are 2 way the inside lever should have a float if you push it forward past the detent.

Keith,
That's just a 2" receiver adapter with my insert and 2" ball in it. I just raise the sleeve hitch until the ball hooks behind something and drive away. Works better on tractors with a ft bumper. |

John, starter weights from a 400 will NOT fit any later model tractors. They dont have the extra recess in the back to clear the axle nut.
You can drill it, or have it machined, but that can be a lot of extra cost...
I have a set of starter weights from a 400 on my 318, but I drilled out the recess using a 2" bit. Wasnt too hard, but those bits are pretty salty. |

Hey John
the starter weights are MORE money that the 50lb cast weights and fit inside the wheel, then yes the 50 lb cast weights can be added to the starter weights.
since the starter weights fit inside the wheel in the 400 series you can add more weight without it sticking out so far

So you are saying I can get starter weights than add the outside weights at the same time.I also believe that you are saying the starter weights are cheaper than the rear regular wheel weights?

John R,
yeah that is the going rate, unless you buy from the dealer then it's over $200 for the set
you can put an add in the wanted section to see if anything turns up or like you said, watch ebay.
i haven't checked in awhile but you might get more for the price if you get starter weights, sorta like buying in bulk
