Hey guys new here but have had a 316 317 332? and some others and just used to mow and pull trailers but now have a work horse 316 with lots of weights and 3 point but wanted to know how much weight will the 3 point lift i have a box blade but have to add weight to it to make it work good so wanted a better one and want to now how much weight can hold
Tim IIRC the weight capacity of a 3 point is roughly 300 pounds (290 Ibs I think) or the weight of a tiller. It will probably go more but I wouldn't do it but occasionally. Roger

That is exactly what I mean.
Thank goodness for flat rate shipping.
I had a great day today.My wife and I take our 2 youngest out separately on occasion so they get special time and attention.
Maddie went with my Wife and Sophie stayed with me.
I offered to take Sophie anywhere she wanted,shopping at the mall,going to build a bear,whatever.
She CHOSE to stay home and go for a tractor ride on the 430 and spend some time on "Her" 140.
It was a beautiful day here so we went out cruising with the 430 and to the corner store for some ice cream.
Then we came back and pressure washed the 140 project.
It was a great day and Sophie did not regret her decision at all.
She had fun.
Check out the picture with the old style yellow hydro filter.
When we pushed out the 140 I heard a screeching sound on left rear.
I knew the problem but to confirm it I took off the wheel and sure enough the brakes shoes have fallen apart.
Can't they make shoes that last longer than 37 years for crying out loud.
AJ, I bought four brake shoes for my 300 project and they were $21.00 each. Makes one wonder what they mean by "Keeping it Green". I think they will stay in the green, charging those prices. LOL
AJ, that filter is old, but there may be a slight chance he had a ton of them. I just purchased a lot of 6 on ebay all new and sealed for 10 bucks + 6 for shipping. They are not yellow, but they were the old deere style.
AJ Cannon - Regarding your 140 brake shoes. Is the metal sub structure of the shoe itself broken down and unusable? If not couldn't you just reline the shoes with brake liner from McMaster Carr?
I am going to look for a used set,I have a line on a set if it works out.The metal back is bent in the edges.I'm not sure if they can be relined.
A guy told me of a local machine shop that does it for $9.00 per shoe.I will have to remove them again and see if the back is usable or not.
I was going to show a picture of the 430 from yesterday but after I resized it,it was still too large.I guess there was some details in the background that made it too large,
Anyway,I went one size smaller and now it fits.
Here is my 430 Sophie and I were driving around with it's new front shoes on.
I have done that with my daughter also. from the time she was tiny. Her first 2 syllable word was John Deere. I would ask her if she wanted to go for a ride. Then I would ask her "can you say JOHN DEERE?" That is so much fun. I also use it to go hallowing with a wagon. Reminds me. I have to build a better wagon this summer with seats on it. Any ideas out there?
Well, no ice cream runs, but when I was tractor shopping, the criteria were: cost, serviceability, and build quality, but primarily cold starting and top speed, as pulling the #74 sled attachment is where half my seat time is. That's 4 sleds, 7 screaming hot cocoa junkies.
AJ, I was going to suggest a used set also. You could buy a whole rear end brakes and all, maybe a tractor for the price of 4 brake shoes!
For the idea on trailer with seats for hauling your children or grand kids around check out what Little G did with the barrels. You can probably see it in the gallery photos. I'll look if I don't loose my internet connection too soon.
I have a 1973 john deere 112 tractor with a electric lift that is not working. When i hit the lift switch all it does is click. if you have any idea's on what it could that would be great!
Simple question for you experts. Where does this piece of strap go? Hanging down on the left rear 1988 420 with a 3 point and MCS bracket. Looks like it would reach the lower bolt where the lift arm hooks to the 3 point arm? Thanks!
Jeff, that is the three point hitch lift limiter, I am sure someone will have a picture. In real life nobody even installs this part. It is supposed to do what I said, however I have never used it on mine.
Isn't that awesome Mike and Mark.
That 455 you got Mike is fun to cruise around in.
I hope you are enjoying the 455.I know I did.
John,
I got 2 used coming and maybe someone local has 2 more.
AJ
