    John Deere 430 Baler String Tie issue

    I took the John Deere belt part number and called Orielly Auto Parts. The salesman crossed the JD number to Gates and I installed the belt. All of the excessive heat left the drive pulley, still no heat in the tension pulley, and the pump pulley only went to 100 degrees on the first tie cycle. I...

    John Deere 430 Baler String Tie issue

    Would this be correct? If the atf in the system is normal temperature maybe a hundred degrees or so and the pump pulley is hot 165 degrees and even though there is not a belt squeal, the older belt on the machine may be the cause of the heating? BTW I changed the bearing on the drive roller -...

    John Deere 430 Baler String Tie issue

    The GM pump will propel the twine arm through its motion all the way to string cut without a bale in the baler, How do I check the setting of the pump relief valve? I changed the filter a few days ago when I changed the pump.

    John Deere 430 Baler String Tie issue

    Thanks for the reply Roger, The pulley on the power steering pump reaches high temperature before it completes on tie cycle. To make it run, I raise the gate, lock it open, then lower the gate to four feet, then pull the manual tie cord. Even before the string arm returns to home position, it is hot

    John Deere 430 Baler String Tie issue

    The sting tie on the 430 baler quit tying. I replaced the power steering pump with a brand new power steering pump off of a 1979 Chevrolet Malibu. Forty seven dollars vs $627 for a John Deere pump. It was an identical match. The string tie mechanism now cycles, however the power steering pump...
