O.k. Lavoy I'm ready. I have called every John Deere dealer in Maine with poor results. Oh I would have had their undivided attention if I were purchasing a new excavator or something but seemed too bothered to look up the parts I need. I would rather buy from you . I need the afore mentioned cam pl...

I hate to be a nuisance but can anyone tell me the part number for this plug?
also looking for a good dealer to order it from.
My local John Deere dealer is as useless as boobs on a bull!

thanks.

I called the machine shop this morning that rebuilt it for me and advised them of the situation.
The guy said they would fix it.
I hope so. this little project is going to bankrupt me!
Thanks again.
Dan

Lavoy The way it sits now the hole in the cam bearing is lined up with the hole on the top of the block that the oil pressure gauge screws into. If you look through the oil gauge hole you could see the flywheel. if it were installed Am I going to have to remove the cam to push the bearing in further...

Lavoy
I don't see how a plug will fit in there.
The cam bearing is almost flush with the block and the cam is inset about an inch from the end of the bearing.
I take it the plug installs inside the cam bearing?
Dan

Thanks Joe
Anybody got a plug?

Hey Lavoy or anyone else. The new motor for my 430 is together except for the flywheel. My question is : The camshaft is exposed at the rear. In other words while I was installing the flywheel I noticed the end of the camshaft and bearing is showing to the rear. I looked in the book and it doesn't s...

Lavoy.
I need a 10" clutch disc, pressure plate and t.o.b. for my 1958 430C
It took me all winter to rebuild the motor and almost as long to figure out how to order the clutch on here....................
Thanks
Dan
Oh yeah and I need an oil drain plug also.
Thanks

Thanks guys.
I will try to find out my needs very soon..............

I am looking for either a short block or complete engine to fit my 59' 430c.
The engine that came in it is stuck.(lifters). I am also in the market for a complete gasket set for same as I have not givin up on the old girl yet.
Any ideas?
Thanks a ton.
Dan

Seeings how I can't buy it from you can I borrow it? LOL.

I have'nt been around here long enough to know you real good but was that funny?

It's like you are saying na na na na na na I have a service manual and you dont'
Dan

Lavoy I guess I need to buy the service manual for this rig! I shamefully admit to buying a manual on Ebay for 16.00 and it is no more that a poorly photocopied copy someone else bought. It is not even legible. If you have one how do I buy one from you? I can't seem to locate a place on the site to ...

Well I got back to the old girl last evening and have determined that the cam is what is stuck. After I drained about a gallon of water out of the base I could look into the cam from the top and she's plenty crusty in there! Lavoy I don't know yet if I should be optimistic or not. One one hand it is...

email me would you?

If I buy a new manifold for this thing it will nearly double my investment in it!
But I will do it............................Thanks
