    No Start CK2510

    The box says "Safety Control Unit". Not sure exactly what that means for your tractor. When my tractor encounters the no-start condition you've mentioned, it's normally a bad battery connection or the battery cables themselves. Try bypassing the battery cables by routing jumper cables in...

    Kubota RTV 1100 C diesel

    Hmmm. I have a 2004 RTV900 and I've only run off-road/red diesel through it and have had no problems. You have an 1100 (different engine and didn't specify how new) so I really can't advise.

    What to say

    Hi Bob. Welcome to the forum. Your IP shows LA. Don't get many tractor people from the city. What enticed you to join? I'm coming out your way soon. Fly in to CA then drive all over, mainly to hit National Parks.

    Lifting Humans

    What's your plan to secure the cage to the forks to keep the cage from sliding off the end?

    What does this warning light mean?

    Isn't that your regular engine air filter?

    Lifting Humans

    Pretty unsafe if you ask me. @Doc - for gutters, I just climb on the roof with a backpack leaf blower to clean gutters. I can do 100' in about 5 minutes.

    Hunting for parts

    Welcome to the forum. I'd probably start with ebay. I did an internet search and there's sites that do sell parts. The entire grill assembly can get pricey. If you only need the frame or a couple of the screen parts, it may be a lot cheaper. I also saw there was a video on youtube that showed...

    JD 670/770/790/870... maintenance items over the years

    Forgot about the tie rod. I'm on #2. I too have front grill damage (a hole about the size of... a 2" branch ;) ) I have a new grill sitting on a shelf but saving that for if/when I ever decide to sell so the tractor looks fresh.

    PTO lever stuck in operating position.

    Sounds like the brush hog is keeping pressure on the the PTO connection. I'd try to disconnect the PTO shaft as the first step.

    JD 670/770/790/870... maintenance items over the years

    Please add any tidbits, suggested or preventative maintenance items as well as what you've had to fix. I have a 770 and it's been a great tractor but over the years, it's needed a few little things to keep it going properly. Engine Has been bulletproof and has required nothing but oil changes...

    Sears ss12

    I can't say from here whether it's worth $100. I like people to come to our forum here but also recognize we're not the best in all tractors, especially some smaller vintage tractors like yours. I'd like to suggest you go to yesterdaystractors.com and look around there as they're more in line...

    Sears ss12

    The steel looks straight so that's good. I have no idea what the market brings when restored. Along the same line, not sure of the market for parts.

    Wiring Diagram for JD 870 1997 4x4

    Dug further - it was a loose connection for the headlights at the back of the fuse panel. Still might add aux lights.

    Hello from Wisconsin.

    Welcome Sir. No where close to what you did but I grew up on a dairy farm running Holstein/Friesian. The Deere's we ran were the 4020 and 630. Toss in a couple Ferguson TO-20's. Yep on Chevy/GMC. ;)

    Wiring Diagram for JD 870 1997 4x4

    I've been checking everything. At this point, I think it's something behind the dash or in the wiring harness. That'll take hours to dig through. I just found some new high-end LED lights on a shelf. At this point, I may just wire those in for headlights.

    Wiring Diagram for JD 870 1997 4x4

    Hey @HBTexas - My 770 lights are acting up. I have taillights but no dash or headlights. The gauges all work fine. What were your symptoms (and resolution)? My fuses look good but I have no power to headlights. Guessing I have no power to dash lights but I need the headlights more.

    Sears suburban 12

    Probably don't even need a collector. I'm guessing those things made by Roper were sold by the tens of thousands (or more) under several brand names. I'd check craigslist or facebook marketplace in your area.

    Massey 590 levelling box

    Welcome to the forum Charlie! Wasn't familiar with the term "leveling box". I guess that's what you call it on your side of the pond. Over here, we call it something like "3 point adjustable lift arm". If it's broken, you could try to fix it but a replacement should be cheap. Over here, you...
