Just to complain a little more with all of you and your John Deere stories, I want to add a little fuel to the fire. The only John Deere I've owned was an 8630. Just a little bigger than a lawn tractor (laughing out loud). Anyway, the reason so many people are having troubles with JD lawn tractors is not because small JD tractors are junk, it's because they've sold out their name. If you buy a la

Hey all! I know I’m getting ready to start a fire storm for brand loyalties but here we go!! My family owns right around 130 acres in southern Kansas. The land is primarily flat with large (to me) soybean fields, a few roads, a decent amount of woods and some grass land as well as a couple ponds. We contract out the field work so that’s a non issue. We are looking for a tractor to do loader work, land clearing and pulling a batwing mower along the grassy areas a couple times per year. And the occasional blade on a gravel road. I was looking primarily at older model tractors with somewhere around 70-80hp so if we wanted to plant food plots or start baling etc we have the power. The JD 2630 or 3020gas kind of caught my eye. Because them having decent power while not being horribly heavy. I have an 18’ trailer with tandem axles. That weighs around 2000lb so I can handle a weight of around 8000 to 9000 lbs with my truck comfortably. I would personally prefer a gas motor due to not needing to have an extra fuel type and cold starts but I’m by no reason an expert. Thanks all! Edit: happy Easter

Where do i start looking for the problem?

Hi guys, I have a question regarding hydraulics on John Deere 6630 (should be similar on other models). My lower brown quick connector started popping out hoses so I wanted to replace it. I noticed that that there is a return hose connected in the pressure side of the quick connector (not the end drain). Do I need to get a original John Deere quick connect with the return connector or can I just replace it with any old quick connect? From what I understand both brown hydraulics should be connected together by these rings on the pressure side and than it should lead back to the hydraulics tank (it's been worked on before). Thanks a lot!

Running into an issue with a John Deere 2630 LH pinion cover and differential locking collar. Part #51500 (cover) says it fits said tractor at some parts sites but not at others. I bought it and it most definitely does not fit the locking collar #55777. Locking collar says “old style”, so I guess maybe there’s a new style but I can’t find the part #. Maybe there’s an old JD mechanic on Reddit that can enlighten me. Thanks in advance 😎👍
