    Where can I find one? I’ve called around and am even finding a hard time finding a 430 or 420 block, and was quoted 1,000 for a complete mystery engine and 600 for a short block

    Replacement Block for 430 John Deere?

    Both pistons are cracked or broken, engine was overheated really bad I’m thinking, it was siezed pretty bad as well. Just trying to do whatever’s cheapest at this point because it’s not a show queen, it’s a work tractor so I’m not so worried if it burns some oil with a used engine as long as it...

    Wont turn over even with new battery

    Ok I will fix that. As for the leaks it looks like it is coming out of here on that top transmission cover where the shifter is at, on the back of that cover.

    Also, when it is running the amp gauge says it is charging behind the zero and when I rev it up it goes further and further back. Usually they go forward but this one is going backwards into the negative. I ran a wire straight from the generator to the cutout, and it will charge if I connect the...

    Wont turn over even with new battery

    I welded it on there and it charges at 6.3 volts, I had to bypass the cutout by clipping a wire to each side while it is running. I took it for a long ride and there is a leak on the top cover on the transmission on the cover the shifter is on. It is leaking from the back but it looks like it is...

    Ok, so I studied the generator closer and it looks like the pulley threads onto the generator shaft and a snap ring or something goes on this indention at the end of the shaft. I tested the generator again by putting 6v directly to it and it started to spin this time. Im gonna try and see if my...

    Wont turn over even with new battery

    Kinda ironic.I wanted to take it for a longer ride in 3rd gear with the rpms up to get the engine and transmission worked in again, I went about a mile and a half and right when I got back to my gate It started making a horrible grinding noise and I went around to look and the bolt that holds...

    Wont turn over even with new battery

    jumping the cutout didnt do anything. The water pump leaks a little bit while it is running, will I damage anything to fill the radiator with well water? Or should I get distilled water? This post was edited by 84 prospector on 10/31/2021 at 12:15 pm.

    Wont turn over even with new battery

    Took the carb apart and the thing was full of rust, I mean ALOT of rust. I spent a really long time scraping and cleaning it, and the old gasket was a goner so I made my own out of gasket material. Put it back on the tractor and it runs now. A little hard to start but once its running it runs...

    Do you think I would need to get a new gasket set or is it possible to crack it open without needing new ones?
