  1. Large Frame Compact Utility Tractors (LCUT)
    Hi, I recently bought a 1982 John Deere 1050 (pre 011001 serial) with 1400 hours. It is running well, but I am wanting to do all the general maintenance because I have no idea how often/if last owner took care of it. I have a surplus of questions, and I am a total tractor noob. If you are able...
  2. Utility Tractors
    I have a 2009 3032E tractor with a 305 FEL. I soon will be doing the 400 hour maintenance which includes changing the transmission/hydraulic fluid and filters. It occurred to me that if anything needs to be done to the hydraulic hoses, at the time of the fluid change would be the ideal time. I...
  3. Sub Compact Utility Tractors (SCUT)
    Hey all, doing general maintenance on my tractor. I’ve identified in the manual 2 grease points on the main driveshaft and 2 on the MFWD driveshaft (4 total) and greased them. I don’t see any others, but I’m reading on previous model years, there were more grease zerks where now they are not...

  5. Tractor & Equipment Maintenance
    Hello all! First time poster and tractor owner, and loving my machine! That being said, the owners manual really should have a “master list” of all grease fittings, however they do not at least in one easy section. Does anybody have such a thing? My worst fear is that while doing regular...
  6. Tractor & Equipment Maintenance
    Morning, I'm hoping this is the right forum area for this, as I consider it maintenance and not repair. Do I need to purchase the Tech Manual TM138819 for my X580, or is it relatively safe for someone to disassemble/reassemble their own mower deck. I'd like to power wash mine as it's very...
  7. Tools & Equipment
    The Stihl Owners Manuals recommends their gas-powered equipment have the combustion chamber de-coked and the valve clearance checked / adjusted every 139 hours. I treat my equipment well, performing the scheduled maintenance and only use good quality fuel/oil. All my Stihl equipment (trimmer...
  8. Sub Compact Utility Tractors (SCUT)
    A few years ago my 1026R was due for its first 50hr service. I couldn't get the plug out. In fact I stripped it bad. Not wanting the mess with it, thinking this this first service was important, and having a bit of work to do that summer, I had the dealership come get it, service it, and...
  9. Tractor & Equipment Maintenance
    Good morning. I currently have a 54" deck on my x739 that I coated with POR-15 to prevent rust on the deck. Has anyone ever done this? What do you think? Is it worth it? I am trading this tractor in and getting a new 54" deck on a 1025r. Wonder if others think this is a good idea or waste...
  10. Vintage Lawn & Garden Tractors
    Bought an early '80s 314 that is still running on the old pink hydraulic/transmission fluid. Recently had to repair one of the hoses coming off the charge pump, and lost a decent amount of fluid before I fixed it (it doesnt even show in the clear tube). I'm thinking this is a good time to just...
  11. Large Frame Compact Utility Tractors (LCUT)
    Dear 955 owners, I have always intended to replace my hydraulic oil filter*, but keep wondering if I need to drain all the hydraulic oil first. Obviously there will be the filter's hydraulic oil contents spilling around, but what about the rest? Maybe the answer to my question is that I...
