Re: 350B Loader removal

Welcome to the Boards. You should be looking for the Technical and Operator's Manuals for your 350B. OMT46859 is the publication number for the Operator's Manual. TM1032 is the publication number for the Technical (service) Manual. The TM includes info on the 7300 series loader in it. You can use th...

Re: Oil in starter

That could be it. The outer and inner parts of the seal have to be pushed at the same time. And the tool sets the depth to clear the lip on the flywheel.

Re: Oil in starter

Did you use the new one-piece seal (Unitized seal and wear ring) that needs the special tool to install it properly and avoid damaging it?

Re: Oil in starter

You really should tell what you are working on when you start a new post. You have posted about a 450C before so I will guess this is about that one. Hose above the starter area? Are you looking at a small (about 1/4") hose threaded into the flywheel housing right above where the starter bolts on? T...

Re: 1010 fuel gauge ground

I don't think there was a ground wire and none show as part of the harness in the parts catalog. If you want to add a ground just use one of the sending unit's mounting screws to put one end of a wire under and run the other end to a frame location of your choosing.

Re: Help needed (and greatly appreciated!!) 1962 1010C

When I searched using the part number, one of the "official" John Deere sellers (Hartville Hardware) on eBay says they have more than 10 available. I can't say they actually have the cups, you would need to contact them. JD changed some part numbers and dropped the letter suffix, so try both ways fo...

Re: 450c Losing Prime

Welcome to the Boards. The injection pump and filters are on the pressure side of the transfer pump. If air is getting pulled into the system I would be looking between the tank and transfer pump. Watch your engine oil level, the transfer pump may be getting weak and they can put fuel into the engin...

Re: 450c Engine Lugging When Releasing Clutch Pedal

The clutch is only a single stage clutch, the two stages you feel are two different things working together. The engine clutch, you called the second stage is mechanical and the first stage, as you called it, is the pedal operating a hydraulic valve of the H-L-R. Partially depressing the pedal moves...

Re: jd420 pics

A timing light is simple to use and quick. Is there an O'Reilly, Advanced or other parts store near you? Some of them, maybe the one where you normally get your parts, have tool rental/loan programs, so you could get a timing light and return it, often at no cost. I don't think your meter will check...

Re: jd420 pics

Good to hear you are still working on your project. You are ok with the rotor pointing at #1 when the flywheel is at TDC, that is the static timing, which should be right to get it started. Instead of the manual saying you should see x number of degrees advance at high idle (when using a timing ligh...

Re: 420c carb & roller grease questions

The pressure washing likely got some moisture inside the distributor. Not uncommon for a running engine not to start after a bath. Check that and dry it out of it is we inside.

Re: 420c carb & roller grease questions

A web search for WMD6 (stamped in the ID plate) is a Wagner loader model. The 40C would indicate it was specified for a 40C. Wagner had mountings and modifications to fit their models to various machines. Ford tractors were big users of Wagner loaders. The N Tractor Club library has a WMD6 manual, l...

Re: Looking to purchase a 450c and sell 555a

The ring around the adjuster is part of the spring from the looks of the parts catalog drawing. I don't know if it is setting just right, but don't think it or that you backed the brake off, is your problem. Here is a link to the page and you can see the loop on the spring (item key # 5). https://pa...

Re: JD400G major hydraulic leak

Welcome to the boards. Depending on the size of the areas needing repair and skill levels available some have patched those hard lines by brazing or welding. Replacing with a hydraulic hose is a commonly practiced option. If replacing with a hose, you need to keep the hose ID the same or a bit large...
