Re: Electrical issue when starting

Could be a bad cable. Watch the voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when trying to start. Even a bad cable can pass enough power to give a voltmeter reading, but not supply a real load.

You are really getting to know your machine. Smile, this at least keeps you from roaming the streets.

Re: JD350 thru JD350D Serial Numbers

It is correct that the B parts catalog does not support the wet clutches. The C catalog does have both the 152 and the 164 engines. So, the old story of them building B's with wet clutches would appear incorrect, and the story that the C's had 164 engines is only partially true as both engines are i...

Re: Any farm tractor guys on here ? Need help

I believe he can get help with his Yanmar on the Yesterday's Tractors YANMAR Forum, as I posted above. At least one of the fellows that followed the transfer from Hoye Tractor to YT seems to have access to a good number of Yanmar manuals and printed materials including for gray market machines. He h...

Re: Any farm tractor guys on here ? Need help

I will respectfully disagree with you on this one. The handle is going into the rockshaft/3 point hitch hydraulics area, I doubt it is for decompression control (engine). I think it is either a control for drop speed or stop position of the 3-point hydraulics, same as you, Lavoy, and I posted a year...

This is a year-old post and we never heard back from pearljam724 with any results related to the suggestions given. However, in case this comes up again. At the end of 2023 the Yanmar Site that was sponsored by HOYE Tractor was integrated into a discussion forum on the Yesterday's Tractors website. ...

Re: JD350 thru JD350D Serial Numbers

Could it be a B with the 3 -152 engine having wet clutches that was built during the overlap with the C production starting? Stan touched on such occurring earlier in this thread.

Re: JD350 thru JD350D Serial Numbers

Welcome to the Boards. You have a 350B. From the Introduction to the 350B on the JD Parts website: The first four places are the model. The fifth place is how it is equipped. However, they do not show a C option (not to say their list doesn't have a misprint or your plate might be stamped wrong). Wh...

Re: 420C right steering clutch slippage.

A couple thoughts, easy checks for starters.

How is the adjustment?

Take the cover off the steering clutch compartment and look inside to see if things are contaminated.

Re: 420C Single Remote Control Valve Assembly

This may help. This link will take you to the parts catalog and I think I have the right page open for your lines. You can use the arrows at the top of the page to scroll to other pages. Are the seals you got the right part number? https://partscatalog.deere.com/jdrc/sidebyside/equipment/67961/refer...

Re: 1010C radiator

If the radiator shop said it was that bad, shop leak is definitely not an option. $1200 may be your best option. You will know what you have then. You will have to decide if your crawler is worth that cost. One shows up on eBay for $2200 plus shipping. Some have taken the measurements of their radia...

Re: 1010C radiator

Have you taken it to a radiator shop to see if they can repair it?

Too much stop leak may cause problems with plugging the passages (tubes) in the core.

Re: MC Starter Weak, Replace or Rebuild?

I will not recommend you buy a "rebuild kit" off the internet. If you don't have the instructions and tools to recondition and test every component of your starter, you might end up with the same as you currently have even after you install the few parts in a kit. Your service manual should have a s...
