John Deere 2140 electrical problems
low

Hi all, so I’m currently resorting the electrics on a John Deere 2140 from 1984. The front headlights work but the brake lights and indication lights on the back don’t work. But they do turn on when we use the hazards switch but not when we use the indicator leaver. I’ve checked all the bulbs they all work and haven’t blown. The fuse box has a fuse that’s quite hot indicating it’s taking a large electrical current compared to all of the other fuses. If anyone knows why this happens and why the rear brake lights aren’t working and has information it’d be really handy. Thanks :)

JD Hydraulic fluid change- bleed the air out of the lines?
low

Hi! I have a 1984(?) JD 1250. The oil pressure light kept coming on after running for a bit and I noticed hydraulic fluid around the gear shift. I did an oil change and a hydraulic fluid change. Do I need to bleed the air out of the lines before running again? How do I do this if so?

Looking to get the largest shredder possible for small tractor, how big can I go?
low

Have a little John Deere (~37hp/25 pto hp) that I'd like to put something like [this](http://www.landpride.com/products/150/rcd1884-rotary-cutters) on, can it handle it? Well within the weight requirements but falls a little short on recommended pto hp, will that be an issue if I don't really "push" it hard? (won't be shredding anything heavy, just annual weeds and grass). Any advice greatly appreciated.
