So I will start out with saying the dealer is coming tomorrow to take a look at this. I notice the other day that the left side of the bucket was lower then the right...about 4" on the 61" bucket. I took the loader off and reinstalled it, no change. I let my dealer know, he was going to try and get out this week to check it out. On Sunday my son decided we had to have a tractor parade up and down the driveway, and as I'm driving I'm looking at the bucket, the hook that's welded on in the center of the bucket, is about 3" to the left of the center of the tractor. (picture below) Has anyone here seen this before? and if so what was the remedy? My dealer thinks something loosened up,the tractor only has 105 hours on it currently. Ive also noticed while driving, it sounds like something is hitting the floor under my left foot, and there is a bracket sandwiched between the loader mount and the frame that runs back under the floor of the cab, but its hard to see with the fuel tank there. Again dealer is coming tomorrow, just wanted to see what everyone thought...Ill keep everyone updated on what they find.IMG_9008.jpg

3046R upgrade from 2520?
Hello,
I have a 2520 with 547 hours on with a curtis cab with heat,FEL,MMM, backhoe,snowblower and rotary broom. all of my stuff is garage kept and is in excellent condition. the FEL and MMM are the only things really ever used. I was looking at trading in on a 3046 or 3039 with cab and MMM,FEL and a snow blower but leaning towards rear inverted snow blower. My local dealer who I buy a lot of equipment from has offered me 22,400 for my package with 21,060 boot for 3046 with MMM and FEL. not including rear blower. I am on the fence as if this is a good deal or not and i was thinking 3039R instead of the 3046R comparing price versus hp difference. My wife mows our yard with the 2520 with 72" mower now and loves the tractor. we have big yard without much to worry about mowing around. When I landscaped i factored that in. ( We don't even own a push mower LOL). Mowing is and her using the loader to do her normal yard work stuff is main use and i will use it to do small amount of spraying and planting and mowing trails and little food plots with it as I use my 5085 for the bigger work. Will she be disappointed with the mowing of the yard with this?? I have read on here about deck height adjustment issues. Im I expecting too much to think this can do yard mowing well? Any advice is much appreciated.

I don't need forks as I have Artillian, but I looked at the site just for curiosity. They are showing a lot of sets now made in USA. I didn't know they had anything made in USA. Might be a deal if interested, just posting FYI.

Just got a 2018 1025r have a few question
The dealer dropped off my tractor yesterday, the delivery guy wasn't very knowledgeable about the tractor so the few questions I did have weren't answered. So I was hoping before I contact the dealership I could get some info on here.
The Mower deck height adjustment knob doesn't appear to have a "lock" position. I know previous models had a different knob and had a lock. Just wondering if there is no longer a lock out position?
Here is a picture
IMG_5239.jpg
Also is there supposed to be some kind of liner or anything in the bottom of the cup holder and other compartments or is this how its supposed to be?

Haven't had much time to play with it but so far I love it. Here are a few more pictures

John Deere 316 Mower Deck?
I currently have a 46" deck on my 316. It's pretty beat up. Came across a 50" deck for sale locally. My questions, will it fit my tractor? Also, can anybody verify by the serial number that it is a 50"? I'm assuming that's what the 50 is in the number, but want to make sure. He said it had a bagger on it and the pulley for that is not included. Guessing that's no big deal. Thanks!

NFL rejects Super Bowl ad promoting patriotism/respect for flag
Dear Barry M.,
The NFL has told the nation's largest veterans service organization, American Vets, its patriotic ad that encourages people to stand for the American flag and national anthem will not be tolerated.
AMVETS had been solicited by the NFL to place an ad in the Super Bowl LII program. When the submitted advertisement included a two-word message, "#PleaseStand", the NFL suddenly threw the penalty flag at veterans and gave the game ball to Team Censorship.
"It's a simple, polite request that represents the sentiment of our membership, particularly those whose missing or paralyzed limbs preclude standing," National Commander Marion Polk wrote in a letter to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
"Freedom of speech works both ways. We respect the rights of those who choose to protest, as these rights are precisely what our members have fought – and in many cases died – for," Polk added in the letter. "But imposing corporate censorship to deny that same right to those veterans who have secured it for us all is reprehensible and totally beyond the pale."
Sign the petition to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell NOW!
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told the Army Times that the advertisement program "is designed for fans to commemorate and celebrate the game, players, teams, and the Super Bowl."
McCarthy added, "It's never been a place for advertising that could be considered by some as a political statement."
The AMVETS chief noted the irony that the NFL continues to claim that the anti-American protests by millionaire players on the field represent "free speech" even as the league denies free speech to AMVETS.
AMVETS officials said the same #PleaseStand ad was accepted by the National Hockey League and Major League Baseball for inclusion in their all-star games' programs. The organization sees the advertisement as an extension of their role as a 'nonpartisan advocate for veterans and their families.'"
TAKE ACTION
https://www.afa.net/activism/action-...pect-for-flag/, urging him and the NFL to stop the blatant hypocrisy and accept the patriotic ad by AMVETS as originally submitted.
Call the NFL at (212) 450-2000 and tell Commissioner Goodell to run the AMVET ad.

Three point hitch
I have read on here somewhere that putting your attachments down from your 3 point is a good idea, especially if you have kids that are around the tractor. Just in case they release the lever and a quarter ton comes down on them.
Lately I have been faithful and lowering it. Every time I go out and snow blow I raise it up. This last time it would not move. I thought it just might be cold but I tried again after I have been using the blower for a while, and it still wouldn't move. Front hydraulics are working great.
What could it be?

2017 2032r Caution!
This is just an FYI for all the other 2017 2032r/2038r owners out there, just in case because it could happen to you.
A month ago my son was helping me sweep up my shop, and by help I mean he was aimlessly pushing a broom around (4yrs old). He picked up a bolt and asked where to put it and I told him to put it on the work bench. I would later put it in my bolt bins. The bolt was black in color.
Today I was greasing all the zerk fittings and noticed a bolt was missing on the front frame rail that connects the front pivot mount to the frame for the front axle. A light bulb goes off in my head and went to look for the bolt my son had found and for the life of me I could not find. I put a temporary button head Allen bolt in.(Only metric bolt of that size I had)
I went ahead and checked tightness on the three remaining bolts and ALL of them were loose. One was actually showing threads on the opposite side! The thought of me losing the front axle going down a steep hill towards my pond infuriated me. No lock washers, no thread locking fluid or anything? Come on John Deere, you got to be kidding me!
In the attached pictures you can see the button head I put in temporarily until I can get to Fastenal and get the appropriate bolt.

Titan Ballast Box with Harbor Freight QH
I recently bought a Titan Ballast Box after reading some good reviews here about them. I'm pretty pleased with it so far, the only negative thing I've found is it has a problem with my Harbor Freight QH. I saw another review here that said it worked fine with I-match, so it's got to be due to the difference in the top hooks. When first looking at it I thought sure it would work fine, but on hook-up the hook starts under the top pin and bushings and due to the hook taper it rolls the pin forward enough that the body of the hook in the bottom curve hits the outside of the box and won't let the pin go all the way down into the hook. (Hope that makes sense). :flag_of_truce:
It will work with just the top pin, without the bushings on it, so I will probably just use it this way. Might get ambitious someday and redo the top bracket, if the top pin were just an inch further forward it would work fine with the bushings.
Anyway, here are some pictures.
Box had a few battle scars but everything inside looked fine.
20180121_134406.jpg
Hoisted it out of the box with one of Kenny's slings. They are great for a lot of things.
20180121_135529_HDR.jpg
I like the pipes in it for tool storage.
20180121_140237.jpg
Came with all of the pins except the ones I added for the QH.
20180122_143519.jpg
Pretty good color match except for the dust on it.
20180122_145500.jpg
Also like the built-in receiver hitch.
20180122_145757.jpg
This came FedEx and the driver said that he had to get someone to help him load it into his truck because it was so heavy. He had been dreading how he would get it unloaded if no one was home. He was very glad to see my 1025r with the forks, just pulled up to the back of his truck with the forks level with the floor, he just shoved it out onto the forks, and we both left happy. :laugh:

Something scary on Walmart.com
Was on Walmart.com this morning to look up the price of something and saw something really scary that I never noticed before...
To set the scene, last time I purchased something on walmart.com was over a year ago when I purchased the wife a new tablet and paid for that with our debit card.
So I get on walmart.com today and notice at the bottom of the screen a section "Ready to Reorder?". There it showed items that I purchased last time in store with our debit card. I click on the See All button and it lists essentially everything I have bought in store over the past year.
Guess they're linking our debit card and tracking all purchases under that card.

Any Sovema Tiller Owners?
Have been looking at used tillers since I bought my tractor last year. Seems up in the northwest, everyone wants a fortune for them. Finally saw one that appeared in good condition with a somewhat reasonable asking price.
It is a Sovema RP2 140. Did some searching for info and there really isnt much on the web that I could find. I went and looked at it yesterday. It is a chain drive with a slip clutch. Unit is 59 wide. Everything on it appeared in very good condition, and it seems to not really have much use on it. All tines were accounted for, with nothing looking bent or beat up. Made an offer, which was accepted. So now I own it.
So, anyone own one that might have some input for me?

Anyone experienced getting unauthorized bank debits stopped?
Just beginning battle with getting what looks to be like a monthly debit (has happened 3 times) stopped that my dad says he did not authorize: a $79 testosterone booster. Got transaction phone # from bank, but when called, agent says there's no record of anything in my dad's name. Not really surprised. The agent says a name or email will be needed to proceed. The agent's company is just a call center for multiple clients. Will try again at bank, but doubt that info is available since they didn't give it to me the first time.
Is there a way to have bank block this transaction? Bank agent (on phone) indicated that the only way to stop an auto debit was from the payee's end. This is nuts. Only way that I can see to positively stop it is to create a new account, or better yet, move to another bank (hate his bank's bill pay). Problem is that he has direct deposit for SS and 2 two other valid auto debits and those will take time to relocate.
Edit: googled and see a Stop Payment order can be issued. Tried to get a notary for a Financial Power of Attorney when he was in rehab hospital, but she was off-site for the week. Will try again today. Can't have him just sign anything now since a stroke has altered his signature. Why didn't the bank agent tell me about the Stop????
