Battery
I am wondering about what to do about a battery for my 420 crawler. I know it is supposed to use a 6 volt but cannot find one that would work. Should I use a 12 volt?
Thanks GC

I had a tach worked on by a guy I take my starter and generators to. He pulled the glass of and cleaned the face of it and got it working again. He did a nice job shining it up without having to repaint it. He was also able to build a new cable for me and check it. I am thinking about laser cutting ...

John Deere 420 Tracks
I have a four-roller 420 that I am having trouble getting the tracks to line up (pull tight) enough to get the pin through them. Does anyone have a tip or suggestion of how to make this work a little easier.
Thanks in advance

420 Final Drive
I am getting ready to replace the gears in my final drive housing and I am not sure what to do about packing the bearings. Does the final drive usually have oil in it that lubricates the bearings or should I go ahead and pack them?

420 Final Drive Assembly and Bearings
Does anyone know where I can buy bearings for my late '58 420? I need all of the bearings and parts for the axle shaft, including the oil seal and shims, but I do not need a spacer. I can list part numbers if needed. Someone who owned the crawler previously left their 1/4 inch socket in the housing....

I am just checking, but did you look to make sure your snap ring was not smashed so that it looks like one of the other pins. I just removed the tracks on my 420 crawler and missed it (the master link) the first time like Lavoy said because the ring looked just like the other ends on the pins. Did y...
