My 420c was running real good, I had a mechanic resurrect it after it sat in my pop's barn for 15-20 years. The brake and clutch pedals were locked together and the mechanic thought that was odd but its how I remembered it being when my pop let me operate it years ago so we just left it alone.
Cleared a bunch of brush and one thing I noticed is that sometimes it wouldnt get into gear because the fly wheel was spinning when I had the pedals engaged. I would have to wait for the fly wheel to spin down, then I could get it in gear. This was intermittent. The last day, I started up the machine and could not get it in gear because the flywheel wouldnt spin down it just kept spinning. Ive been looking around on various websites and most of them seem to point to either an adjustment screw or that Im going to have to pull the engine off and rebuild the clutch.
Anyone have advice or a youtube link they would pass on about this? I havent found anything yet in my google searches so Im hoping for some knowledge in here....
thanks all. I love love love this crawler, just the sound of it brings back sweet old memories of my pops (rip).
I believe its a 1958 or possibly 1959 john deere 420c industrial yellow... though Im seeing notes on yesterdays tractors that these were only in production up to 1957. Just reading the notes my pop put on the manuals.
