JDcrawlers Messageboard

Stopped by the Missoula JD store today and they had corn head grease. Surprise, there can't be a corn picker within 500 miles of here. The parts man was woefully ignorant on grease guns.

When I remove the hoe, I find quick connect couplers (Bruning, Lincoln, Neb). The book on the ...
