I would guess that you will find enough ring groove wear that it would not be advisable to put the old pistons back in. You are looking at a pretty good chuck of change to redo it, don't put in worn pistons.

There should be plenty of air space around the shifter as far as breathing. They seem to have no trouble getting water in them if left out, I would have to believe that air would be no problem.

Deere no longer supplies the correct roller regardless of what they say.
I have a few used rollers left.

Gary,
No spring on the early ones, don't worry about that.
Not sure on the slot, but don
t believe anything goes there. Only slot that is used is the one is the shifter itself.

As a general rule, when someone says their undercarraige is 80% worn out, it really means that it is about 130% worn out. This is not an accusation of you in particular, or anyone in general. But, if you actually looked at an undercarraige inspection form, you would find that the tolerances are a lo...

Gary, Order a new pin, bearing, and two snap rings from Deere. FIx the slot as you already thought of, put in the new pin, and new bearing. Install one snap ring, and then carefully stack the second snap ring down on top of the first one. Make sure to put a little grease in the cavity when you have ...

40 and MC use the same radiator, only difference is 40 has a shroud. The shroud screws to the side of the radiator itself.

MC is thermosiphon, no thermostat. Early MC had the temp probe in the water outlet, and never read the correct temp. Later ones were in the back of the block, and were much better. An MC is going to run hot no matter what, just the way a thermosiphon system seems to work. If you pull the radiator, h...

I have the gauges for 420-early 2010, and late 2010 and 350. I would love to have them reproduced, but the laser cost would be astronomical per piece with the engraving. There was a guy making them in plastic, but I don't know if he ever got to the Deere gauges, and/or if he is even still a round. T...

It isn't a Deere, but the SAME crawler look quite impressive, and they have sizes smaller than a 420 up to about 450 size I think. Even have 3PT hitch and rubber track options. I have no idea on price, but I would bet not cheap.

Two hours ago, it was a balmy 4 above here with a 20 mile an hour wind. Getting bad enough I even had to switch to long sleeved shirts. If I gets any worse, I will have to put the shorts away too.
