Re: 1959 John Deere 440 clutch replaced, issues afterwards

first of all it helps if you post your location in your profile..
secondly see if you can adjust the clutches in the reverser.
and third, from sounds of issue the steering needs adjusted on both sides.
i assume you were able to steer before you replaced ...engine..clutch?

Re: Tough time with JD 420 transmission or clutch, or who knows?

yes you should be able to adjust the fingers, you do however need the gauge to adjust properly...Lavoy generally has those gauges ..not sure which one it is.

Alo get to your profile and insert your location, someone may have one to borrow nearby..
