No brake on a 1969 JD 1020

I have a 1969 john deere 1020 and the both brake pedals drops to
the floor when depressed. I inspected the lines and they seems o.k.
(no leak). The hydraulic fluid level is o.k too. As they explain in the
shop manuel I've let the engine rev at 2000 rpm with the clutch engaged
for two minutes but it didn't change anything. The problem happened
after the tractor has not been use for a long period (about 10 months) .
I suspect the arrival of hydraulic fluid in the master cylinders block !
Is it possible ?? Anything else ??
Thanks for your help.

SOURCE: IJohn Deere whinning noise

Is the device that lowers or raises the loader a hydraulic piston type device, or more of a hydrostatic type device? Whining noises are not uncommon with hydrostatic devices...

SOURCE: system creeps down even when tractor is operating.

There are 2 potential problems -
1. Leaking spool on the control valve - rebuild the vale.

2. Cylinder blow-by. Disassemble piston and replace the seals.

To test if its the cylinder - retract the cylinders all the way... remove the hoses on the blind end (non rod end) of each cylinder, and again pull the valve to the retract position.

If fluid continues to pour out of the cylinder - the piston seal is damaged, and the affected cylinder must be repaired.

To test if the valve spool is faulty - disconnect the a and b ports just after the valve. Turn on the system and check for seepage from the disconnected lines (without moving the lever).

SOURCE: John Deere 1020 Weak 3 point hydraulics

I would suggest you find a JD dealer and buy a manual if you want to do the maintenance yourself. You can also do a Google search and find manuals.

I would also suggest you completely drain the old hydraulic fluid and replace it with new fluid and a new filter if it has not been serviced any time in the recent past.

The symptoms you describe can be low fluid and/or a clogged filter. If you or anyone else has run the tractor too long and it has low fluids and/or a clogged filter, you can damage the hydraulic pump and that can get costly.

SOURCE: how to rebuild hydraulic pump on 4440 john deere

This is something that you need to have special tools to rebuild pump, your best bet is buy a rebuilt from a rebuilder manufacture.

You should price a new wiring harness,around $80 so there is not much reason to spend a lot of time trying to find shorts or open wiring.

Cannot engage parking brake on John Deere L108 mower. Clutch and foot brake work fine. Cannot lift orange lever to set. What can I do? Thanks

If new to the unit...

To set parking brake, you FULLY depress and hold the brake/clutch pedal, engage and hold park brake lock, release brake/clutch pedal. You may need to adjust seat forward.

Else...
If the brake lock won't move when brake/clutch is fully depressed, check for obstruction in brake lock linkage.

I have a john Deere 310sg backhoe that is showing a f-428 service code and also have an issue with the park brakes continuesly setting is this a simple fix. The computer was recently replaced

f-428 means the foot throttle pedal sensor is not calbrated
the software that's in the computer , this makes sense since u replaced the computer recently , to fix this its gonna require the JD tuning tool interface and software 4 it

I suspect the park brakes issue is sort of coming from a similar conflict in sensors on the transaxle or something

gone is the days that a new computer would self adjust its self when 1st installed , in fact if you read your owners book JD requires a yearly software update now

How do you adjust the steering toe on a L130 lawn mower?

The L130 off of the show room floor does not have adjustable drak link / tie rods.

One of the 300 hour inspections is to inspect the steering pivot bushings. You jack up the front from the center and check for play of the pivot bushings by teetering the tie at the 6 and 12 oclock positions. If you get a lot of movement the bushings are bad. If the bushings are ok (I doubt they are) then you can also add adjustable tie rods
1 GY20492 ROD, RH DRAGLINK ASSY. ADJUSTABLE
1 GY20491 ROD, LH DRAGLINK ASSY, ADJUSTABLE

http://cgi.ebay.com/John-Deere-Tie-Rod-Drag-Link-L110-l120-L130-L-Series-/280669312038

They are more expensive at JD ($66.00)

Just note the pivot bushings do NOT show up on any JD diagram but they do exist. Check with JD parts. They most likely know the PN from memory.

Yes there is a safety switch.And this safety switch has to be engaged.If its not engaged then the JD tractor will not start. On JD 855 the safty switch is located under the seat, There is a rod that must be depressed before engage Somehow that rod is bent or its not pressing the switch to the point that the seat would not fully engage the safty switch.In some cases the switch itself is faulty.It has to be checked .

6330 JD every fuel line leaks with just over 100 hours.

John Deere will replace the lines with the original under warranty but as soon as your warranty runs out and you develop a leak go to solid rubber after market fuel lines and your problems will be over.The braided fuel line that is put on at the factory and replaced by Deere under warranty has a poor performance record and i would replace it,Deere can't get warranty for the repair unless the part replaced has a J.D. part number on it,but if you are willing to supply the hose,go rubber and the leaking will end.

The parking brake on my John Deere L118 is stuck in the activated position. Therefore the tractor won't roll. How can I disengage the parking brake?

Usually there is a red handle under the steering colunm that locks the pedal down. You will need to depress the brake as you push down on the red handle which should release it.
