13x6.50x6 4 ply tires have to be the WORST thing ever to mount!
I think I could have mounted a whole set of car tires in the time it took me to get ONE mounted!

Im gonna go pass out now...

Does anyone have a 140 service manual that could get me info on maintenance and troubleshooting tips on the hydro-static rear end? I have one coming home with me tonight after work and was told that it leaks 'alot'. I already plan to wipe off all excess dirt and oil and put cardboard under it to see where the leak is coming from. Thanks.

I was offered a jd 400 the other day. Since I'm not adding to my herd at present, I didn't ask the details. I could get the details if anyone is interested, give me a shout.

Steve,How many used parts would be up for sale if nice running tractors were not parted?

What condition qualifies a tractor to be a candidate for parts?

Mike, the "S" is for electric start. The later JD tractors used an AQS engine, which was A for special oil pan, Q for quietline, and S for electric start.

Hey Steve nice buy ! A few of us from western Pa. went to the Rogers Ohio consignment auction today and John Haines was driving ..... before we left for Rogers he had offered $500 for that same 300 !!!

I almost didn't want to believe him when he said decent looking tractor, deck and 3ph for that price.

Looks like a really nice tractor !

It really runs well, its going to the farm to get the full treatment next summer. paint and a complete prep. I could not believe the 3 point was on it. I went up to Shelby at 3pm to go to Glens Surplus and get some things and figured i would call around 330. i got ahold of him and 20 mins later after talking for 10 mins was loading it up. Ya know more than anything I did not want a vulture to get it and part it. it is in nice running condition.

Steve great snag

Scott I know 3 other WFMers that were after that tractor glad one of us got it and for a great price to $450 for what he paid for the 3pt and the guy threw in the tractor for free LOL

As the guy described in his add that it had some rear hydraulic thingy on the back you had to chuckle

Kenneth,

Thank You for the info. My local dealer was bought up by a large corporation that also deals in discount building supplies, so you never know how much Deere help your going to get when you call.

Clint Filges - Your PN of R66949 is correct. The reason you're unable to find it on JDParts is because the weights fall into the Wholegoods category as do tractors and attachments etc.

This may sound basic but is the product identification# the same as the serial # on my 1985 430? The product identification # is M00430X317930. Does the product # contain the serial #???? Adam

I joined the 300 club today. I got a 300 with rear hydraulics,, attached to the rear hydraulics in a 3 point hitch, it runs great and has the mower deck in good shape,,,,, for the grand total of $450.00 for it all. I can wait to get her cleaned up and tuned up.

Adam, I don't know. Local JD usually asks if I want parts or THE part. He just said, yes we have one in stock.

And I do believe rebuildable is a word.

Adam, I pulled the hose right of the tank side of the pump and it flowed very well. A solid hose size flow.

Pump? I think so but just want to make certain before dropping $150 at JD. When you turn the switch you can feel the pump click but thats it.

Ron, I would check the fuel strainer in the gas tank first, pull the fuel line off that runs into the fuel pump to see if the fuel is free flowing into the pump, you will know it should be like a faucet. If it isn't pull the strainer from the gas tank and clean the screen. Then I would move to the fuel pump. Adam

Picked up this 216 with hydraulic lift, newer replacement deck, tiller(with no intermediate drive), front lift kit and an unexpected pair of wheel weights. The tractor will run and everything works, but the engine needs to be overhauled. So, before I mess the engine any more, I have put it all in storage for a complete rebuild later down the line. I have a question about which deck I have, it had a foil tag which is missing. The deck is solid with no welds or rust, but the spindles are stuck. Any help would be appreciated. Mike

I just picked up a little square fender 110. The serial number is 331741M but it does not show up on the list on this sight. It has the 10 hp kohler in it. What was the last 110 made? or am I just missing something? I am new to these green ones so bear with me. Thanks in advance.

Have a 322 that just quit. I pulled the fuel hose from the carb and no fuel. Pulled the hose from the pump side of the filter and just get a squirt of fuel upon the initial turn of the switch but that is it. As you turn over the engine there is no pumping.

Can I safely say I need a fuel pump?

Anybody have a current part number for the 40 # suitcase weights, the number I have, R66949, doesn't register in JD Parts. I like to have a part number when I call the dealer.

Thanks,

Clint

Scott,
You sure can. You will need to plumb rear hydraulic outlets. The rest of the 3 point is a self contained unit.
