    420W Depth Control Spring And Stud

    My 420W is missing the spring (M2212T) that helps control the automatic depth control for the TOM. Well I have the spring it is just bent in half. Regardless, the stud (M2200T) is also missing. It doesn't look like it is broken off but I also haven't look that hard either, but my question is...

    420W Rockshaft

    This TOM has a mind of its own, first of all it leaks like a sieve. Sometimes it works other times it dosen't. I put in some new oil and it would not raise the lift arms. Once some of the fluid leaked out the arms would move. Now that the leaking has slowed down they won't move again. I am...

    1958 420W won't start - bad compression?

    Autolite plugs from Steiner Last night I was able to get it to fire, but it didn't run very well. I would only fire with the choke fully closed (right now the airfilter housing and oil are removed not sure if that makes a difference). When I opened up the choke it would die. I was playing...

    1958 420W won't start - bad compression?

    So I had this thing running good after I replaced the points, I ran it for about an hour one day, used the bush hog to mow a pasture. The next day I tried to start it and it would not fire up. I am getting a spark at both plugs and it is getting gas. The only thing I can think of is bad...

    John Deere 420 runs rough

    Well yesterday I got a new (used) tire put on and I changed the points. Fired it up and it ran without hesitation. Not only did it run good but now the 3 point hitch started working. So one can conclude by logic that changing the points made it run better then changing the tire fixed the...

    John Deere 420 runs rough

    The carb was going to be my first spot to clean, I just wasn't sure if there was anything else that I might have overlooked. It sounds like I have a hit and miss engine in there...

    John Deere 420 runs rough

    Hey guys. I am new to the forum. I just recently got my grandfathers 1958 JD 420W with a Bush Hog 305 mower and a back blade. It also has a 45 loader that is still at my grandmas house, we ran out of room on the trailer. It had been sitting in a barn for about 3-4 years without running. We...
