    John Deere 4430 steering metering pump pressurizing

    I have a 4430 with a steering issue. the steering works ok but metering pump is pressurizing and getting hot even when tractor is at stand still. Pressure spike stops when wheels are maxed turned to the right or left. I assume the steering valve brick or the front piston seals are to blame. I...

    John Deere 4430 Tillage ?

    Its a quad range. I don't want to pull axels to check brakes but It wouldn't hurt to look. I assume If I treat the tractor good and don't let the diff chatter hard in the mud or something I will most likely not have issues. Differential lock can be very helpful. I put 100hrs on disk/ cultivator...

    John Deere 4430 Tillage ?

    Hi just wondering How many of you guys have used a 4430 for tillage. Just heard the 4430 could have some rear end issues when used for heavy pulling. Which surprised me as I thought the driveline on these machine's would be really tough. A guy I know has a 4640 which has spent hard pulling...

    John Deere 4430 injection pump

    Thanks for the replies. I could check block temp to make sure thermostat is working. Engine will probably need a rebuild one day. It doesn't seem like diesels like idling for really long periods of time. They could get all carboned up. Some are probably worse than others for this. A working...

    John Deere 4430 injection pump

    Yes it does have some blowby but it doesn't really seem to be an oil burner on the dipstick. Mabey rings and valve seals are a bit weak.

    John Deere 4430 injection pump

    Thanks for the reply's. I purchased tractor with blown engine. I put 100hrs on disk/cultivator this fall. Other than that it mostly pulls haybine/ baler /bale processor/ manure spreader/ hay hauler. I put 665hrs on engine since installation. Cylinders 1 and 6 were wet but seemed to dry up better...

    John Deere 4430 injection pump

    Hi I have a john deere 4430 that smokes blue/gray and wet stacks on the exhaust especially in the cold weather. When working it hard it gets better but as soon as you idle it down it starts smoking. It is normal for the old deers to smoke but the smoke seems excessive. I replaced the injectors...

    John Deere 30, 40, 50 series hydraulics question

    I was told to have a 3rd hydraulic line on air drill fan routed back too sump to prevent seal from blowing on motor. Be careful when disengaging remote. Am not sure if the return oil through the remote goes to sump or directly into the main pump feed line. Wasn't sure if running an air drill...

    John Deere 30, 40, 50 series hydraulics question

    There is a fellow in my area that said he ran an air drill with his 4640. It had a tow behind air cart. He said he did not have the remote set at full tilt, it was set at around half flow or something. He didn't seem to have issues running the fan.
