To make a long story really short, my 2005 x495 that I purchased used a few months ago ended up needing a new transmission as the differential side just literally came apart. I was able to find a new casing with all of the internals on eBay that was a pull from a x748. Both are K92's but my x495...

The other day when I was mowing my lawn, I started noticing that my John Deere “slips” when it is in gear and the clutch is engaged. Weird, because it’s not a hydro. Anyway, as I was finishing up, I noticed there was a loud gear noise. Now the tractor is 30+ years old, so it’s noisy, but this...

I have a new 3033r power reverser that doesn’t seem to like going into 3rd and 4th gear.. I feel like I really have to force the lever towards me first then push it into third or 4th.. the tractor now has 21 hours on it.. is this something that will get easier with time or is there an adjustment...

JD 3033r with about 370 hrs and power reverser. Recently the machine will feel like the clutch is slipping when pushing into wood chips with the loader. It does the same going uphill on a slight grade. Any adjustments for this? Recently flushed transmission and changed filters. All this was...

Hey All, I am trying to replace a broken transmission control lever on my D140 lawn tractor. This is the lever that attaches the forward/reverse pedal linkage rod to the transmission. (Deere part number M810140 @ partscatalog.Deere.com). The lever is held in place with a two-part pin that I have...

Hey Folks! Still working on my old JD 4320 transmission project and I'm getting to a point where I need to start thinking about buying fluid and filters. I ran across the article below and found it pretty interesting! In a nutshell, "real" JD 303 oil was discontinued in 1974 because it had...

So, I recently acquired an early 1970's 4320 for doing hay on our family farm. I bought this tractor from a local used tractor dealership knowing it had some issues shifting. Little did I know what those issues took to fix. The top drive shaft synchronizer had completely fallen apart and to my...

Hello all, I am not sure where to start so lets start at the beginning. I purchased a used xuv550 s4 from a fellow that installed a new motor. The motor has around 15 hours on it and the rest of the Gator has around 820 hours. She ran fine until Friday evening. I was cutting my lawn and...

I recently purchased a used 2210 with 1,500 hours. After 10-20 hours of work (mowing and clearing light brush) I ran into the common driveshaft failure issue. Sadly, my issue wasn’t just a u-joint replacement job but instead the input shaft going into the transmission snapped. This caused the...

Hello everyone, new around here. I'm desperate for advice. I just purchased a late 2000s model LA145 lawn tractor. Engine looks and runs great. I hopped on it to cut our grass for the first time and in the front yard it did great. Blazed through it no problem..once I got to the back yard where...

Hello, when I shift from 4 to 3 or 2 to 1 in any range there is a loud bang noise, the same Happens when releasing the clutch in neutral or park, can anyone help, thanks Paul

Hello all, I hope I am posting in the right section. Recently I had the steering shaft replaced in my John Deer LT155, and I mowed with it for the first time today. About an hour into mowing, the transmission started to whine [ it sounded like a drill spinning ] and did not want to move when I...

So as the title states I purchased a 2014 1025R a couple of weeks ago. I thought I was thorough before I bought it, I made sure everything worked properly and had the dealer provide me with the service records. There was a service record for 8/14 where the trans drain bolt was leaking. I...

My JD 6300 is making a lot of rattling noise in the transmission input shaft area. I reached up and the transmission input side of the shaft seems to have a good bit of play. I can see some play in the u joint too. I take it the input shaft bearing and associated stuff is worn out. I also...

I have a JD 4250 2wd with the PowerShift Trans. Recently the Trans Pressure light has been coming on and the sensor isn't even hooked up. What is the problem? When the tractor is running I turn the key off and on and then it goes away. Any Ideas?

I have a 1-month out of warranty (~100 hours) 915b that i noticed recently was leaking transmission oil. I took it into my john deere service department who reported that the topseal and filter seals were leaking. To replace them they are asking ~$114 for parts and $745 in labor. I find it...

I have a 3+ year old (60 hours) D170 that has what I am sure is a transmission leak. The right axle is clean vs the left as shown. Started with the black staining but now I have a pretty good sized transmission fluid (looks like vegetable oil) stain on my garage floor. Won't get to call the...

I just purchased a 2017 x738 and its great. The dealership did a terrible job assembling everything but I fixed all of those issues. I do have one concern though and I was hoping someone could provide some guidance. When driving the tractor in a straight line, the front axle/transmission...

My JD 400 is losing power in both forward and reverse. Can anyone help? I suspect the relief valve my be weak. It seems ok with no load.

Woke up this morning to a slow leak coming from the transmission, upon inspection discovered a puncture in the bottom of the transmission housing. Pretty sure I scraped a rock as can see a gouge in the housing with a slow drip of fluid. Trying to determine if the bottom of transmission housing...
