Hi, Personally, when I use my 420c I most often am using 2nd gear which has the same ratio as reverse in the 5-speed transmission. So, while I have a reverser, I took dad's 'R' blocking bolt out and usually reverse with with the transmission, leaving the reverser in forward. The bolcking bolt was or...

Hi, I'll add to the advice to *never* reuse oil soaked fiber discs. I've experienced the same as Lavoy - they grow hot in use and the heat pumps the oil out to the surfaces. I learned this twice, actually. I figured after the first 'weep out' that was the end of it, re-cleaned them and re-instelled ...

Hi, Yup. The feel to it in your hand should be such that it becomes ever stiffer to move, and then suddenly lose all stiffness with a 'jumping' feel and a noticable 'snap' sound from inside the reverser housing. In fact, it feels such that if it's the first time you're working one of these, you thin...

Hi, There is a really bad issue you can cause by running the reverser in reverse *and* the tranny in reverse to gain an additional forward speed. Basically, it will eat up the spyder gears in there. So, most people read the dire warnings in the manual and on the label on the battery box door, and pr...

Hi, They kept adding rollers (3 to 4 then to 5) to place more support towards the front end for the ever increasing weight of the front mounted equipment (i.e. the weight increase of a model 62 blade vs. the model 61). If you put a mod 62 blade onto a 4-roller, the machine will wind up light back at...

Hi, Just so y'all know, the testing for a ROPS involves picking the unit up and dropping it from ten feet. They do this from all sides as well as upside-down. The ROPS has to survive with some minimal deflection allowed. Of course, they use five machines for the five drops for the five sides. That g...

Hi, What you need to do is place an ashtry onto the gas tank and take a pix of that as a joke, of course! ;) I have several older power tools (mowers, saws, etc) that have instructions on their air cleaners to wash the elements in gasolene and reoil. Which, I actually still do - using 100 octane rac...

Hi, Yes, you're not going to lift much weight with the combination of the short tracks and that long boom. Heck, you couldn't even lift a 62 blade from a 420 on a 3-roller without the poor thing riding on the front idler. Yes, I have seen folks attach a 62 onto a 3-roller 40 and it's a wonder how th...

Hi, The running OK and then leaning out sounds like the filter screen behind the fuel input fitting at the carb is half clogged. As you push, the thing burns more fuel, of course. If the screen is partially clogged, then it slowly drops the fuel height in the bowl, leading to a lean condition. As in...

Hi, Looks like the output from the little-known Deere-Ford Joint Venture factory! :) Should have painted it Green, Red, Yellow and Grey, though! :P As far as a 420c having a GPS from the factory, mine does as well. It's the Mod 62 Ground Pushing System!! :P :P :P Well, it'd be the Snow Pushing Syste...

Hi, I'd say the latest variant of the 440. The one with the larger tranny, finals, and everything else. Deere was constantly beefing them up as the years went by. So, the MC would be the lightest duty, and the last 440's the heaviest. The trend continued with the 1010 and the 2010 and wound up at th...
