You have the basic idea. Here is how they describe the serial number as applied to the parts. SERIAL NUMBER LISTING INFORMATION SERIAL NUMBER INFORMATION IS LISTED TO SHOW ON WHICH MACHINES EACH PART CAN BE USED; FOR EXAMPLE: - THE PART CAN BE USED ON ALL MACHINES. 000000- THE PART CAN BE USED ON AL...

Looks like you posted while I was typing. report back with the complete info on that tag and we can go from there.

Not to say all are this way, but usually the components from the original engine have to be swapped to the replacement engine as the water pump, injection pump, and the housing at the rear of the block have to be changed as those often are different on engines used in generators, welders, and such. ...

All new wires? All the old generator and regulator wires discontinued or removed? Does the alternator have a ground terminal on it? Even though it should ground through the case try running a jumper wire from the ground terminal to the battery ground post. Eliminate the possibility of excess resista...

With that voltage at the alternator it should be charging the battery. But you don't say where you are checking the voltage. If you are checking at the alternator, what is the voltage across the battery terminals? 12 volt negative ground? One wire (10 gauge recommended) from alternator battery termi...

Some of the old operator's on cable cranes, shovels and backhoes used "Fuller's Earth" on clutch and brake frictions. These would be open shoe and band type brakes and clutches. It could smooth the operation of a brake, improve the grip of a clutch friction, and help "dry" the effect of a bit of oil...

I guess I don't understand what you mean by an aftermarket engine. Do you mean it is not a John Deere engine? Or do you mean it is the proper size John Deere engine (4 cylinder 219 cu.in. turbocharged for a 450C) that was rebuilt by someone other than John Deere? If it is the right family JD engine,...

Those grease zerks are pipe thread, not bolt threads. 27 pitch thread is 1/8" NPT (National Pipe Thread). If you want to plug those holes you need to get some 1/8" NPT pipe plugs.

What is the condition of the splines in the coupling that mates with it? How do the splines on the winch end and winch shaft look? Ideally, replacement I would say if the winch is critical to your operation. Occasional use, it could go a long time before it fails (splines strip). Lavoy is always the...

It looks to me like you have two seal rings showing in your picture, plus the one seal. The two seal rings you are looking at in that drawing are item key 13 (part # R39322) in both serial number range steering clutch drawings. They are similar to piston rings and are in the grooves of the housing i...

I agree with B Town. Item Key # 12 in this drawing.

Assuming free play is correct as Ray III noted. Have you asked the vendor you got the clutch set up from, if they have any ideas? Sometimes you find out they have had such happen before. It’s a great feeling when they say that happens, bring it back and we’ll give you another – not. That “looks like...

Just throwing some things out for thoughts of where issues might be. What is the condition of the flywheel friction surface, glazed/burnt? Did you by chance measure the depth of it? I wonder if the clutch disc material is right and the right thickness. Possible incorrect springs in the pressure plat...

Lavoy will be along with his answer, but here is my 2 cents on who supplies valve seats for a machine shop doing a head, I leave it to them to get and install the seats. To me that is the way to do it. Then they are responsible for the machine work, the seats, and the installation. If a machine shop...

You didn't waste anyone's time. Glad you found the issue and it was a easy fix. On another side of this, If someone else has a similar problem you can say "check this", and maybe help them solve their problem. I have a number of those learned experiences as well.
