No I have not aligned the tracks or counted track pads. However I do know it drove very straight before I replaced some steering clutch parts. And yes it steers either way when I pull the levers back. Its almost seems to drag on one side but the brake band is loose.

Hi folks just got my 420c back going with new steering clutch discs and it wants to track to the right pretty aggressivly. I have the clutches adjusted really close. What is going on here?

I use 10w30 as well in my 1958 420c .

Thats What I am aiming for I guess. Just takes dollars!

ok so that means I need to adjust it back to where it was or a little farther. Hmm that will be hard to guess how far to adjust.. thanks you are probably right though!

Well the reason I adjusted it is because it was slipping some on that side when I went to turn. No contaminates that I know of..

No I did not rebuild this side I only adjusted the pressure plate and put an oil seal in. I did take all the discs and fibers out to see what they looked like but they looked ok so I put them back in. It must be the pressure plate, I just don't know why it worked and now it doesnt. But if you think ...

It looks like the pressure plate is almost brand new but it could be an issue. how much can a fibre disk be worn down and still work? Over all width on the old set vs new set difference is almost the thickness of 2 fibre disks

I know that i used the correct part of the jd 7 gauge but i am not sure what else it could be..... I assembled the disc just like they came out.....

My 420c steering clutch is slipping on me, and here is what i did. this summer I had to rebuild the left clutch due to a bad oil seal and the right side needed a pressure plate adjustment but it did steer ok. well I got the left side back together with all new discs and fibres and it works beautiful...

Looking for a set of pin on loader forks for John Deere #90 loader

Thanks!!

Hi so I am renovating the one steering clutch on my "58" 420c and I only counted 6 steel discs and 6 fibers when I pulled it apart, the other puzzling thing is there is not room for 8 of each.... Is this a problem or did they make some to take only 6 instead of 8? thanks a lot!

That is my goal as well!!!
