- John Deere 2038, Rear Top Link Installation, I'll install a new hydraulic top link in this video, damage it, and make repairs actually improving the original design.
Installing the rear hydraulics on this compact tractor has improved my efficiency with the tractor.
The SCV Kit is from John Deere, Premium SCV Kit BLV 10882
Installation instructions LVU29984 05Oct16
Welcome to my channel, I'm in Dubuque Iowa, and my channel is know as Today in Iowa or Bill Burkhart 1025.Be sure and check out my channel for many videos including the John Deere 1025 tractor backhoe and the many implements I have to maintain my property.
I'd enjoy hearing your comments, I answer every comment.
I purchased the top link from, www.agristoreusa.com A wonderful product and terrific sales support.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Comments From Agristore USA: We actually have a link to a page on our website that shows all kinds of different tractor models matched up with certain top links of ours.
Hydraulic Top Links by Tractor:
www.agristoreusa.com/pages/hy...
We always recommend comparing the measurements of our top links with the customer's mechanical top link before ordering or running fluid through the cylinder. We measure our top links closed from pin center to pin center and then extended as far as it will go from pin center to pin center.
Thank you,

Hello from Siletz Oregon ,,, @ 8.5 miles from Newport directly twards Salem . Iam 3rd tractor now, love the top and side link, Started with Challenger 265B then 12 years now the JD 5075M Cat.2 ,, traded for a JD 333G and been tractor less for 4 years and promised a tractor compact to wife and daughter at the barn so brung home a new JD 2032R yesterday. Excited to trick it out like i had all my other toys. This is theirs but I'll be near for a couple years till they both are comfy and then maybe excavator too LOL. Thanks you for the video, ill be putting in both front 3rd remote and rear power beyond/ double SCV's - part of deal- ill install.....
I had learning curves my self with 5075M first hyd. top link and when i added the hyd. side link about 4 months latter--that was the big learning curve, bent swivel eyes, busted eyes on cylinder, , never bent a rod....... take care , looking for another video :)
Good morning and happy Saturday!! Thanks for sharing your purchase for your family, sounds like an exciting time at your home.

Great video! Glad to see a fellow Iowan making some awesome tractor videos! 🍻
Thanks 👍 Waiting to see that tooth bar in action. Have a great Spring.
Bill- Thanks for your video again and for clarification on the power beyond. It’s because of people like you that we learn and make better decisions when buying products and such!
Hi C Dee I went to the dealership today and they confirmed the power beyond is in fact gone, but this new design is supposed to do everything the power beyond did. This video is 7 months old and I have used the backhoe many times during that period. All I can say is this design works, and its easier to connect and disconnect the backhoe. So I'm comfortable not changing a thing.
Thanks again Bill. I wish my dealership would have done that for me. I had the hydraulic top link before I had the backhoe. Would have been nicer to have what you’ve got. Chris
Thanks for the video Bill! You took the mystery out of selecting a toplink cylinder for my (2020) 2032r. Just installed the BLV10882 kit.

Hi from Bakersfield California.
Hello Jesse, I hope you're not in the heavy rain I'm seeing on the news. Thanks for checking in.-Bill
@billburkhart we are good thanks.
You will really enjoy your top link. I have both the top and side cylinders on my tractor. When I bought the tractor my first job was fixing my very long driveway and I wanted to control the box blade from the seat. Since then I have found it very handy in hooking up implements on uneven ground to the quick hitch. These should be standard equipment on a tractor.
I'd be happy to pay extra to have the option to add the top and tilt hydraulics. Have a good work week Robert.
Great video! I am going to add that setup to my 3720 with the imatch.

Hello Ken, you won’t believe how much you’ll use the power top link to make things easier, have a great week.
Like the top link!!
Thanks Dave, I'm enjoying what it can do for me very much.
Hi from Clermont, Florida, Bill! Looks like I'm in good company -- same tractor, same hydraulic top link (got mine at Tractor Supply, tho), same bend in the link's hydraulic tube, and same solution by removing the top link hanger hook. No leaks, tho, and it has been quite a while, so I am just leaving everything as is. It's certainly not the only bent part on my tractor, and the top link works fine in spite of the bend.
Hi Seth, I'll be darn, I'll keep my fingers crossed you have no leaks. Thanks for sharing that information with me. Have a great Spring.
Nice upgrade Bill!!
I have the same top link, from the same source, great customer service is right. I did the same thing you did minus the damage ;) , I flipped the block around and it's been flawless since, had mine for a year now.
hello-pat. i see we watch some of the same videos-ha!
Hi Elk Creek, glad you avoided the damage. You know the company sent me all the repair parts for about $50 ....I cant complain

@@jeanvaljohn3921 OMG that’s a perfect example on how to say your town name. I am familiar with the Farm Report.
Wanted to say hello and commend you on a very informative video. I am looking to put a hydraulic top link in on my 1025r.
Happy Easter Rodney, glad the video helps you. You'll love it once installed. Have a great Spring.
HI Bill, that reversed block looks great, as I mentioned to you, I will be doing the same thing soon, as you were showing the rear of the tractor, I notice the connections for the backhoe are missing, my tractor doesn't have a backhoe but I do have the hose connections from the power beyond to connect to something that needs hydro flow, you should check that out because the backhoe has to have its hoses connect to the tractor which is what the power beyond is for, if you need a picture of mine for comparison just messenger me and I will get it to you asap, once again another great video, have a great day.
Hello TY, another viewer told me the same thing, so I watched your video again and see what your telling me. Keep in mind this video is 7 months old and I've been using the backhoe with no issues. Just for grins I went back to my dealer Monday and he agreed the power beyond is gone, however, this design eliminated that and all I have to do is press a switch and fluid is diverted to the lower connections and provides continuous flow. Connecting and disconnecting is much easier, so I'm going to stay with this and see what happens. Wish me luck. Have you heard anymore on the front hydraulics being available yet?
Hi Bill, I have not heard of another way of connecting the hydraulics, that would be a great video to show how they changed it and if you're happy with how it works, that's all that matters, I just did a service on the 1025 and asked about the 2038's 3rd function kit, as of right now were I am, it's not out but they were going to check on it, I am going to talk with a friend at Deere to get him to check also, let you know when I have an answer, have a good day.
The fixed end needed to be a bit longer to avoid any potential obstructions. My hydraulic top link for my tractor has the independent mounts (no pressure block or steel line from one inlet to the other). My hoses are threaded directly into the cylinder housing. My only issue is the hydraulic pressure doesn't always stay when mowing for long periods. Pressure bleeds off but is returned when a quick bump of the hydraulic lever to return to level is wanted.
Hello Andrew happy Sunday. Sounds like you have a nice set up …..glad it’s working out well for you. I’ve had pretty good luck now with this rear hydraulics since I fixed it. Take care friend.
I have a 1025r just installed my upper arm and tube bent just like yours and it didn't hit anything it was just pressure of both stiff hydraulic lines as traveling up ..it won't hurt anything it just bends at it weakest point which is tube coming from cylinder block.
Hello Roy, happy Saturday. Sorry to hear about your bad luck, thanks for sharing your experience with me. Hope your having a nice Spring.
I did the exact same thing only was not able to salvage first cylinder had to buy another one.
Sorry to hear about your experience Monty. Hope all worked out in the end. Have a good up coming week- Bill
I was still able to hit my hydraulic link connections on the cross bar on my 1025r, even with the check valve flipped around. I think I’m going to get some longer hoses and turn the cylinder upside down. It only hits when I have the 3 point all the way up, top link all the way shortened, and I accidentally go down a hill that is a little too steep and the box blade hits the ground and raises a little more. I wish the 3 point had something to stop it from going up like it stops from going down. Lol
Sorry to hear your about your situation. Fingers crossed you find a good solution. - Bill
Good job Bill. Impressed. Do you prefer the 2038r over the 3e series? Nice Tractor. Thanks for Sharing. Mark.
Hello Mark, I've never operated or owned a 3 series. The way I understand the models, my 2038R has more features than a 3 series entry level tractor, I have all the HP I need, likewise, the PTO is adequate, and the weight of the tractor allow me to cross my wet yard and not tear up the sod. I can only say for my situation, owning 17 hilly acres with a pond, the 2038R is perfect. Just my opinion. Have a great Spring.
Would that Hydro Top Link need to be longer if you have a Quick Hitch compared to not having one ?
Hello Buzz, I purchased a standard hydraulic top link and use it with the quick attach and I’ve never had any problems. Good question. - Bill
Hey Bill, love this video. I'm considering getting one of these top links for my 3032E soon, and think I'll deal with these same folks you purchased yours from. Need to get some extra rear hydraulics installed first, of course.
Not that it matters a whole lot, but since I live in eastern North Carolina, I thought I'd pass along a little primer on town names in the area -- Seymour Johnson AFB is right beside Goldsboro, and Beaufort, NC is pronounced "Bow'-fǝrt", as in "bow and arrow," like a girl having a "beau." Beaufort, *South* Carolina is pronounced "Byoo'-fǝrt," as in "beauty." Why that is, I don't know, but that's the South for you.
Good morning John. You won’t believe how convenient the top link will make your life. From connecting rear Impliment’s to grading. I’ve found a few leaks on mine once in a while, simply check and re-tighten them once in a while and you’ll love it. Thanks for the pronunciation tips. I’ll work them into my shouts outs in the next video. Have a good week.
Hi, John. I'm planning to follow suit and order one for my 3039r cab. How did your project turn out? May I ask what lengths you went with? I think based on the web site, that I need the 06003 kit. Hope all went well for you. David
Bill… why were the hydraulic hoses so long? To me a significant part of the challenge was the hose length. Would you agree?
Good morning Wink, you know, I never thought about that. I imagine shorter lines may have some advantages. I'll take a closer look.
Thanks for the suggestion. Have a great weekend. -Bill
i had similar issues. only mine busted and sent hydraulic fluid every where. big mess to clean up.
Hi Dave, sorry to hear about the bust, I'll bet it was a mess, stay healthy friend.
Thank you Bill. Can I ask what ball hitch attachment you are using with the imatch?
HiTodd, that’s a 2 inch ball, the majority of my trailers around here require a 2 inch ball thanks for asking, have a great weekend.
Todd, I believe I misunderstood your question. The ball mount is unique with the two different ball mount length. I purchased that from my local dealer, it was sitting on their shelf so I grabbed it.
@@billburkhart that is what I was asking, is it a Deere or frontier brand or 3 rd party? Do you know the brand. Thanks again
Great video Bill you do a great job. I have a 2038R as well. Can you tell me the part number for that top link as I am also seeking one out for mine also.
I had the dealer install two scv’s as well but my power beyond connectors are still there and function as well.
Hi Jim, give me a few days and I'll get it in the description, thanks for asking. I'm glad your Power Beyond is still in place. But mine is working well. I don't understand why methods differ so much between dealerships. Have a great Spring.
@@billburkhart thanks Bill. I can send you a picture if you like. I’d love to help if I can.
Hey buddy how did you flip that did you take the bolts out of the top of the cylinder? And just flip the whole thing around
Great question, I took it to a local hydraulic shop and ask them to do it. It turned out perfect. I definitely know my limitations when it comes to mechanical issues. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.-Bill
I just installed what looks like the exact same cylinder that I picked up from Tractor Supply. I had to go and have the hoses made as it did not come with those.
On that note, after installing it and checking to make sure there were no impacts, I did the exact same thing and bent that same piece. Thank goodness it still works, so I turned it 90 degrees to the right and left it to the front, it gets close, but does not contact anything at this point. Only had a chance to use it a little it yesterday and love it. Did you just bend yours back straight when you reversed the check valve?
Hello, your comments are interesting to have the same misfortune as I did. I chose to replace anything that was bent and have had good luck since. Stay safe and thanks for checking in.
@@billburkhart yea, mine still works as is, I don’t know where to get the replacement parts as I ordered mine through tractor supply? Hopefully it will continue to work well for many years.
Hello Bill..... the top link looks good .. unfortunately discovered the hard way ...
Hi Eric, I went to school real quick............thankfully the damage was relatively easy to repair once I knew what I was doing. :) Have a great weekend.
Bill, you mentioned using the rear SCV for your backhoe. Can you share a pic or video of how you hook it up? I was told that wouldn’t work by my dealer so had to get the power beyond loop too.
Hello Matt, I'm so disappointed that dealerships advice varies so much. The SCV I installed works perfectly without the power beyond loop removed. I'm not a mechanic, but the systems works fine, the only change is the power beyond connecting has been removed. This new design makes connecting and disconnecting the backhoe easier. If you want to IM me, I'll send you photos and I can show you the power beyond is removed (I have the plumbing in a box)
I'm not a mechanic, but I can tell you I have a switch on the console to my right after the change that energizes the rear hydraulics without needing the actual power beyond connection.
Tell you what I can do, I have a video coming out next week, I'll make a video showing how well my SCV works and get it out in March. I'll also take another look in the comments, I may have posted the part number that was used to make the changes to my tractor. Again, I've had these now for a couple of years and they work perfectly. Thanks for asking the question - Bill
Matt the kit information is included in the video description, hope this helps. - Bill
Hi Bill - well even after watching your video PRIOR to even ordering the same top link from AgriStore (I ordered a little over a month ago, yet just installed today) I made the same exact mistake you did when raising the 3-point - bending the hard hydraulic line and puncturing the hose. Did you order the replacement parts from AgriStore also to replace the damaged parts and reverse the location of the valve?
Hi Brian, that damage happens quickly doesn’t it? Yes, I did order the replacement parts from the AgriStore …they sent them to me and at a very reasonable price. But then I took it to a local hydraulic shop and had them reverse that flow restrictor and set up that new design that I described in the video. That new layout works very well for me, I haven’t come close to re-damaging it. ……yet😄
What quick hitch compatible hitch 3 point receiver do you have?
Hello Ian, my quick connect is from Deere. The I Match design, hope this answers your question.
Are the ag style connectors on the scv the ball type or the pin type?
Hello, Happy Sunday. Not sure how to answer your question. The male connector has a firm point that push's on the female side opening the flow. Does that answer your question? You may also notice I had both my SCVs on the tractor side installed as females, my back hoe has two male connectors, so I thought that would be easier.
Puy the fittings on the underside.
Good morning Dennis, thanks for saying hello and taking time to comment. Have a great weekend.
Hi Bill, So if a person is buying a 2038R with a backhoe and thinking about having 2 scv's at the rear, then it is probably best to add the SCV's initially to save a bit of money. Is that correct? I guess the way I am understanding it, is that you use the bottom ports of the 2scvs and flip the switch for power beyond. Is that the way it works? Thanks!
Hello Gary. Your description is exactly the way I understand that to work, I’ve had it this way for about 10 months to a year and the backhoe works fine. I’m getting information from viewers that is making me uncomfortable, and I’ll be speaking with the dealer tomorrow to learn if the power beyond has actually been removed. Stay tuned.
Just getting ready to purchase thar top link for my 2032 jd do you have part # for all the stuff you bought from agristore, great video I live in NE
Hello Richard…… Sorry I do not have and numbers. Please tell them you have aJD 2038 and want the same top link Bill Burkhart has. I’ve been told they recognize the name and know that product. I don’t make a commission so don’t think I’m trying to direct you that way. If that doesn’t work, I’ll go out to the shop and see what I can find. You won’t be disappointed. -Bill

Hello, I have a 1025r with backhoe. Is this possible to hook this up on the 1025r and hook the hydraulic hoses to the area where the backhoe hooks up?
Happy Spring D.S. It is not possible without the rear SCV's. However, do under stand Tractor Time with Tim has an add on accessory that will allow you to do what your asking about. Enjoy your new tractor and be safe.
Bill did you have your JD dealership replace your power beyond with the 4th and 5th rear SCVs? Also, did the level controls on your console come with the rear SCV kit? I'm configuring a new 2032R and thinking they could take the cost of the power beyond install they have listed for the backhoe and apply it to the rear SCVs installation to offset some of the cost. I'd love to know what you did to get yours done since your power beyond is gone. Thanks, Dennis from Michigan
Hello Dennis,
Thanks for the question. I did have the dealership install the SCVs. That installation was above my comfort level.
I've been criticized for not keeping the power beyond connection......but it's NOT required to stay on the tractor. I read the installation instructions and it never instructed the installer to reinstall or keep the power beyond connect. My SCV has been working PERFECT for several years now.
The levers and the new console cover was included in the kit, it looks factory installed. No cobbling look at all.
The dealer turned all the unused lines and the power beyond to me.
Removing and installing the backhoe is easier with the power beyond gone. I'll be posting a new video this summer showing that feature.
I think I posted the JD kit number in the description, didn't I?
I agree with your plan.
Let me know how it turns out. - Bill
@@billburkhart Thank you Bill for your response, I'll be talking to my dealer in the morning. I wonder if he even knows this is possible. Question: Are the backhoe hydraulic lines long enough to connect to the new SCV location?
Bill, I'm having trouble finding the part you called out above. Where did you find it and are these part numbers correct? Thanks Bill
@@mackdenn Dennis, I’ll find it today and get back to you. -Bill
Yes the lines are long enough
Funny ya mention Kenosha wi.....I’m 5 min away Bristol Wi by Brat Stop
I'll put you on the map, thanks for saying hello!
why didnt you just remove the one bolt and then remove that bracket for the s clip???
Looking back that’s a good idea. Enjoy your weekend-Bill
What size cat 1 hydraulic top link did you get? Closed hole to hole? Open hole to hole?
Hi Earl, I'll find the paperwork and get back to you. I should have posted that information.
Earl I posted additional information under the video description, hope this helps.
Thanks Bill!
Hi Bill! Have you looked at installing a hydraulic tilt on your machine?
How long are those hoses you had made?
Before I can purchase a hydraulic top link, I need to figure out how to add extra hydraulics to the rear and the extra controllers under my right hand. Where did all of that come from?
I had that installed, let me look up the part number and description and I’ll get back to you this weekend-Bill
Take a look in the description about third paragraph down it has the John Deere part number and instructions listed there for your use. Hopes this is helpful.-Bill
Oh that's all really helpful. I've emailed myself both those part numbers and this video link, for when I'm ready to gather all this together and upgrade). Thanks Bill!
Minute 10:04 your about to put a big scar in your cylinder or bend it. That chrome rod looks like its touching tje quick hitch
Holy smokes that is close! I don't know if that's the camera angle or not. Thanks for the heads up, I'm going to check into this in the morning. I'll get back to you. -Bill
