JDcrawlers Messageboard

I realize it would be no where near as stout as a factor crawler loader, but I am in need of a front end loader. I've found a Factor John Deere FEL, complete, off a 2 cylinder gas John Deere Model 50 wheel tractor, for $200. I've tried it, it still works. It does not have hydraulic bucket articulati...

I have a very late production John Deere 420C. Here is the deal: If you depress the left pedal, both pedals depress. This seems wrong, as the John Deere 440IC I operated that friend owned, the pedals operated seperately. Left was the clutch, right was your brake if I'm not going crazy. Now here is t...
