OK... bad starter. Occurred to me as well. A few years ago, I had the starter on the backhoe replaced, and the guy at the shop sold me on some kind of "high-energy" starter. Unfortunately neither my father nor I can recall much about the transaction, but does this sort of thing ring a bell with anyo...

Here's another thought/question: Is ethanol as much of a problem with diesel fuel as it is with gasoline? Ethanol has been wreaking havoc on my gas engines, esp. the smaller ones, and I've had to take a hard look at how long I'm storing my gasoline for. Should I be looking at diesel as critically as...

I was scraping my gravel driveway clean with it, no heavy pushing, and it began to ...

Hi everyone- New guy here. I've got a 1964 (?) John Deere 2010 with a Drott 4-in-1 bucket that is my primary purpose for being here obviously. But I also have a John Deere 410 backhoe but that I have had to do some extensive hydraulic system work on - replacing many old and worn out hydraulic lines....
