The Jack #%@ that sold me the tractor said today that 3/4 of JD60's sold were sold with the JD50 front end on it unless it had a factor loader on it. The history is that this guy sold me a tractor claiming it is orginal. Since that time I have poured more money into the tractor to make it orginal and runnable. Ijust found out that the front is a complete coble job, complete with the castle nut welded to the front spindle to keep it on. Is the the front end a 60 or 50, he stated the 3/4 of the fronts were 50 unlees came with loader is this true

Thanks Randy

Tell us more about the front end. Is it a round tube wide front, or a square tube style? Could'nt you see the welding on the part that you are talking about before you bought it?? 60 tractors did not come with loaders as you state. You could go buy a loader for the 60, then you'd want a heavyduty rollomatic or a square tube wide front.

This is a rollomatic, and the nut that I was talking about, being welded on, is the castle nut that is on the spindle within the wheel hub. You can not see it, unless you took the thing apart. In the process of buying new parts I found out that the wheel hub is actualy off a JD50, and a JD50 hub willl not fit a JD60 spindle, and JD50 spindle will not fit a JD60 rollomatic, and so on.

There wasn't a different roll-o-matic for the 50, 60, and 70 tractors. They're all the same. Later, there was a HEAVY DUTY R-O-M unit, which was available for the larger tractors, including the much later 3020 and 4020s. The HD unit had 4 bolts on the "arms" instead of 3, but for EVERY two piece pedestal R-O-M, the 4-bolt mounting pattern where it attaches to the tractor is IDENTICAL. It is also direction specific. If you try to install one BACKWARDS, it won't work. The "knuckle" faces forward!

So,in other words, there is no actual difference between a R-O-M installed on a 50 or one installed on a 60 or a 70. The 720/730 could come with a heavyier duty model, although you could get the standard version. There were also a number of product improvements in the assembly over the years. Some parts from an R-O-M removed from a 1972 4020 might not all interchange with the similar unit from a 730, but it will still bolt right up to either tractor.

Check the parts books.

JD70Jim:

Are you certain that there was one standard Roll-a-Matic unit ? My parts CD shows the 50 using AB 4563 with B3075R Knuckles, the 60 using AA 4935 R, and the 70 using AR 28247 R.

I did call back to the JD dealer and they amitted to making a mistake. The confertable (two pcs ped) type are all the same from 50 thru 70. The standard (one pc ped) are diferant between them.
Why I don't understand, but thats the facts. Any way the Jack #%$ that sold me the tractor is making this one good, he is going to give me two rollomatics from his stock of parts so that I can make one good one.

Thanks for all the help
Randal

Randy:

The numbers I posted were for the convertible pedestal.

The JD PArts CD shows they were different for the three models, though the 70 number was a sub for the 60.

Jd70JIM thanks for the information. The infromation I was given was from the JD dealer, they do a lot of busness with the two cyclinders, I would have thought that they know what they are talking about. Do you know of anyone who has a good rollomatic or spindle for the one I have?

Thanks
Randy
