    John Deere 310D - Pinning Parking Brake

    Is there a way to pin/cage the parking brake on a JD 310D in the "off" position like can be done on a truck with air brakes? I need to be able to move the machine after removing the reverser, as it's looking more and more like this might need to be done on my machine -...

    John Deere 310D Reverser Issue

    The parking brake is released with hydraulic pressure from the reverser, NOT from the main system hydraulics. There appears to be a small inline filter/screen before the parking brake release that also might be clogged. There may or may not be 2 of these in the system in addition to the suction...

    John Deere 310D Reverser Issue

    I have an issue with the reverser in my JD 310D. Here are the symptoms: The machine doesn't go into gear right away when I switch the parking brake off. When I switch the parking brake off, I have to flip the FNR lever back and forwards while at high RPMs a few times before the parking brake...

    Parts Dealer for John Deere 310D in New Jersey

    JD has this on their website, but it's Jesco all over when I put in my zip code. I was hoping someone had a dealer they liked within a day's shipment of New Jersey.

    Parts Dealer for John Deere 310D in New Jersey

    I've been using Jesco in Fairfield, NJ since G&H in Newton, NJ closed, and they are pretty terrible. I'll order parts on a Tuesday and they won't arrive by Friday, so the machine sits idle for a week at a time. I just called today at 4:15 and they wouldn't look up parts because they're, "getting...

    dt466 Inframe Rebuild

    I am going to start an inframe rebuild of a dt466 in my 1989 IH S1900 this weekend. I'm getting coolant in the oil and I'm pretty sure that the o-ring at the bottom of the cylinder sleeves has gone bad. Are there any pointers you have for me? Anything to look out for? This is my first diesel...

    IH Speedometer Issue

    "Solenoid" Oh, OK. I thought that it had an electronic speedometer - I didn't know it was cable driven.

    IH Speedometer Issue

    Don't Like IH? If you don't like IH, what make DO you like? Every brand of truck I've owned someone on this site has told me what a piece of crap it is. Is there a consensus about which one you DO like?

    IH Speedometer Issue

    Solenoid So the solenoid might be bad? I always thought that the hi/low switch was connected directly to the speedometer. I never knew there was a solenoid in the system. I will take a look for it tomorrow and report back.

    IH Speedometer Issue

    I have a 1989 International S1900 with a dt466 motor in it and a 5+2 trans. The speedometer does not like read properly when I'm in high range. It keeps giving me speeds as if I were still in low range. Sometimes, however, it starts working properly. This usually happens when I run the...

    House Demolition Gone Wrong

    Newspaper Story This made the local newspaper. Thankfully, no one was hurt. I have been told that the operator nearly hit someone in a car when he swung the tail end of the machine out into oncoming traffic when working on the fourth demolition in the project.

    1989 IH S1900/dt466 Rear Brake Change

    Some Questions I started to work on this today, and I have some questions: * Is there any easy way to get the springs back on other than just forcing them in? I spent almost an hour to get the front spring in, and still wasn't able to get it. * The rear brake pivot had a thin metal...

    House Demolition Gone Wrong

    Cable I don't think so - earlier in the day, before I got these pictures, the machine was completely on its side. That truck, which appeared to be some sort of older military vehicle, pulled the machine back over to the position it is in. I didn't think the truck would have the guts to do...

    House Demolition Gone Wrong

    Foundation Collapse I don't think they tracked out onto the wooden floor deck. What I've seen from other demolitions here is they crush the house into the foundation, then climb onto that. Likely that is what they did (I saw them doing this today on the second house they were taking down...
