    400 PTO failure

    After pulling the cover off, I discovered that by removing the adjuster, the band had fallen off the rocker that is attached to the bottom of on/off lever. It was a problem of own ignorance. The fluid in the unit was contaminated with a lot of dirt. There was even mud on the bands and drums...

    400 PTO failure

    Thank you for the info. I thought there may be an issue about the hy tran in the rear end. I hadn't thought about the steep slope solution.

    400 PTO failure

    With the handle forward, the brake holds it in the stopped position. Release the brake and the pto starts rotating. In the full on position it doesn't speed up at all. Even at idle the shaft should be rotating faster. I don't feel any resistance or tension applied when the handle is moved into...

    F 20 magneto timing

    In order to get the tractor started, I have to turn the crank from the bottom as fast as I can to at least the 3 o'clock position. Any less than that and it is a complete waste of time and effort. It runs very well after it is started. Would this indicate that when the mag. was reinstalled, that...

    F 20 starter problem

    It is my opinion that the mica between the commutator segments needs to be reduced. How can I do this and what tool should I use? TY SDE

    delco starter rebuild for my 400

    Many years ago Al Watts rebuilt a starter for me. He mention taking a shim out when he put it back together. I have ordered a rebuild kit for another 400. Is there an amount of desired free play to be measured during re-assembly? TY SDE

    adding a 3pt to my 400

    No, it doesn't have a fast hitch. Just your typical straight 400. My concern is the strength of the center section. Will it handle the stress of the lower arms pushing or even pulling 3pt implements. I guess I should use brackets to attach the arms to the axle housing. I just don't have the same...

    adding a 3pt to my 400

    I bought a 5 ft snow blower and wish to use it on a 400. Can I attach 2 brackets to the sides of the center section of the rear end using the threaded holes that are already there? The arms would then attach to those brackets. Or do I need to make brackets that will allow me to attach the arms...

    farmall 400 lifter issue

    One piston was stuck badly enough that I had to use a hammer to drive it down a little. (after soaking and heat failed) Then I used a bottle jack to push a wooden block up into the piston. The front bolster and head and one side rail was off. Then I raise the tractor up a half an inch with this...

    farmall 400 lifter issue

    Thank you everyone. Armed with, " Lifters are solid and can be removed from side after pushrods removal. " I inserted the file tang into a slot in the side of the lifter and proceeded to tap on the file with a hammer until the lifter was out. All pushrods are 17 and three eights inches long...
