Talked to my JD parts guy today, he worked 20 years at an Equipment wrecker( they still have some old Deeres) so I am going to have him look for me also, but he wanted a part #. For the 420 block I have AT10394T might anyone have some #'s for 430/440 ?
Thanks

Well, more bad news from the machinist today. My 420C block had sleeves in it, machinist said it was funny that they were not pressed in, they seemed to be glued with epoxy or permatex.

So now I need to find a 420 head. I see heads with valves and seats in the $400 range, I assume these are from China, are they...

Wider pads are harder on the U.C.

It must be a dowel hole, I have not pulled it yet. I will pm for parts, thanks.

Good evening, gentlemen. Today I decided to pull my generator for a rebuild,and ended up pulling the radiator to get the lower bolt out. I have only had this 1956 420C for about a month, and have been making repairs. My question is this, the front of the engine was covered with a thick oil and dust ...

I like the look of the cast iron color heat paint, I think you can get it at NAPA.

I see you are in Washington, We have pins and bushings made through Pape Equipment in Tacoma (the pin and bushing shop is in Montesano) or Hydraulic repair and design (HRD). I have them matched up for oddball applications often.
