    John Deere 40T and 430T rock shaft leaks

    I replaced the rockshaft housing/shafts on my 1958 420W with the revised version that has the bushings in it. No more leaks. If I remember correctly, the person I bought it from (Rusty Acres Ranch) said it came off of an early 1010. I found it by doing a search using the part# for the updated...

    430W Pricing

    I’ve got a 1960 430W that I’m thinking about selling. It’s a late S/N: 160XXX and has the factory power steering (newer style pump), spin-outs, 5 speed and live PTO. The paint is decent and everything works perfectly. I’ve never sold a tractor before and I honestly have no idea what I should...

    420 Tachometer/Hour Meter

    Thanks for the help everyone. I left a message for Nick. We’ll see what he says. Dr. Dave, I may have to take you up on the tachometer if no one else comes through. BTW, it’s good to see you on here again. I’m anxiously awaiting photos/documentation from your next restoration. I’ve had...

    420 Tachometer/Hour Meter

    Is there anyone out there that can repair/rebuild the tachometer for my 58’ 420W? It’s definitely the tach as the cable spins when the tractor is running.

    Power steering

    Dave, Where is the ignition coil supposed to mount on my 58 420w with power steering? My tractor (s/n: 132XXX) has the coil mounted to the valve cover (same as in your pictures). However, if I’m reading the parts manual correctly it should have valve cover AT10423 which does not have the...

    Carrrier/Throw Out Bearing on 420w

    I’m having some work done on my 58 420w with live pto. Can someone confirm if the carrier (part #18) is correctly oriented in the attached image? The felt washer and throw out bearing on my tractor were attached to the opposite side of the carrier when removed.

    420-W Transmission Noise

    Thanks for the advice and possible bad news Dave. I hate to hear it, but I appreciate the heads up. Mine is the same way. When throttled up in 4th and 5th gear it makes quite a bit of clattering/clanking noise going down the road. So much that my neighbor asked me about it one day. "Is...

    420-W Transmission Noise

    Thanks B&D for filling the blank spots in my memory. What is the difference between the 420 and 1010 ring & pinions?

    420-W Transmission Noise

    My slant 420W (s/n: 134XXX) has alot of really loud clattering/clanking noises when driven in 4th and 5th gear. I haven't even popped any covers to peek inside the trans yet but some other posts mention shimming the ring & pinion. Before shimming, I like to upgrade whenever possible. I seem...

    420-W Tie Rod Ends

    Been working on a 420-W slant steer for the past few months and finally got her up and running recently. During the "test drive" the front wheels would quickly flutter left and right when running the tractor in 4th and 5th gears. I found the steering arm (M3142T), near the left wheel, to be...

    420W Head Gasket Question

    Good to know and have, I guess. Why do they put that gasket in the kit? I didn?t have to do anything with the distributor when I pulled the head. What am I not understanding?

    420W Head Gasket Question

    I ordered a new head gasket kit for my 420W after having to repair a stuck intake valve. There is a gasket in the kit that I have no idea where it goes. It's the one circled in red. Any ideas? sluhbmet

    JD 420 Service Manuals

    Which service manuals do you recommend buying for a 1958 JD 420 5 speed with power steering and live PTO? I have already purchased the genuine JD 420/430 service manual (ouch-pricey from local dealer) and the I&T manual for the tractor series. To my surprise, there are a few areas in the...

    420/430 Power Steering Pump Question

    I'm getting ready to purchase a few NOS parts for the later style power steering pumps that fit the 420/430 tractors. All of the parts are packaged with part numbers except for a vane rotor that I cannot make out the part number on the box due to age and shelf wear. Anyways, I've uploaded a...
