  1. Medium Frame Compact Utility Tractors (MCUT)
    So I was using the ol’ 2720 to do some land clearing. I’m slowly reclaiming the property back from the jungle. I shut the tractor off to do something. When I went back, it just cranked over. Crap….. So I did some basic troubleshooting. Does it have fuel? Yes. Almost a full tank. Check...
  2. General Tractor Operation and Ownership
    Howdy, FNG here and I'm looking to purchase my first tractor. I'll use it to plow, clear snow that slides off the metal roof, regrade in front of a barndominium, dig some holes for footers for some sheds and help tear down some older small shacks. Given these 2 particular tractor options and...

    I literally broke my 2008 2520 Compact utility in half. I cant find a picture or diagram showing the actual part. It is a cast iron housing is over the front drive shaft and connects the front to the back of machine. Anyone know what it's called and is it replaceable? Thanks

    Hi all! This a joint account between myself (Adam) and my buddy Chris. We hail from Indianapolis, IN. Between the two of us and another friend of ours we have a JD 4052R, 4105, and 2520. :greentractorride: (among other non-green toys) :laugh: It's a nice little mix of tractors to have. Each...

    Hi everyone, Thought i would post some pics of my custom ROPS/light bar i made for my 2520. The OEM ROPS was fine but lets be honest, not the most flattering safety attachment, and also wouldnt fit under my garage roller door... I made the structural components out of 5mm tube/box/plate so...

    My early 2520 has the original 20 amp alternator with the external regulator. Because of additions to the tractor I'd like to upgrade but just cannot afford the dealer. Evidently the newer alternator (SN 406001 up) is internally regulated. I'm sure there is more to do than unbolt the old and...

    Hi Folks, On the weekend I sprung a hydrolic leak. There was hydrolic fluid everywhere under my tractor. Once I got things cleaned up I was able to narrow down where the fluid was leaking from. I found that it was coming from a bolt going through a banjo fitting on a line that goes to the...

    At the 200 hour mark I changed my 2520 motor oil. I used the oil my JD dealer sold me, which turned out to be the wrong viscosity. I used JD 15W-40 instead of the recommended 10W-30. The tractor ran for about one minute, then stopped. After troubleshooting I drained the oil and replaced with...

    Hi everyone. Just took delivery of my new 2520 and JD 62" MMM. All in all a great setup. I have a couple queries about the lighting... 1. Behind the seat there's a loom which has the wires for the indicators as well as a couple of spare wires. Could I be lucky enough that they already wire it...

    About a month ago I bought a brand new 2520 and noticed that the hour meter is accumulating hours at a very fast pace. For example today, I checked the meter reading and it was at 46 and mowed my lawn for a little over an hour and when I was done, the hour meter reading was at 49. Does this...

    I wonder if someone can post pics showing the proper location to attach the hose guides (#11 and #14) in the parts diagram? It doesn't seem I have the manual that shows the proper installation. I have a 2520 tractor. Borrowing a picture from Lost in Wisconsin - these two guys.

    I know most of you want to keep your tractors in good working order. But if you're like me you've probably driven off on your tractor with the parking brake on (everyone fess-up). The warning light is nice but it hardly gets your attention. It's probably not doing the brake lining any good...

    Hi eveyone, I live on a lake and the weekly chore is raking the accumulation of weeds before I can play on the lake. What I needed was a stiff rake (wet weeds are heavy) with narrow tines (so as not to rake up the sand as well). I searched high and low on the internet and found nothing that...
