New engine ready to install except.........
New engine ready to install except.........
Hey Lavoy or anyone else.
The new motor for my 430 is together except for the flywheel.
My question is : The camshaft is exposed at the rear. In other words while I was installing the flywheel I noticed the end of the camshaft and bearing is showing to the rear. I looked in the book and it doesn't say anything about it but a picture shows what appears to be a cover over the end of the cam, Sort of like a freeze plug or something
Any ideas?
Thanks
Dan

If at first you don't break it...try...try again........!
Camshaft Plug
There is a plug to fill that hole and it's alot eaiser to put in before installing the flywheel.
Good Luck

Dan,
If the cam bearing is flush with the block, it is installed incorrectly. The cam bushing should be flush with the end of the camshaft. Make sure that the hole in the cam bushing lines up with the slot in the bottom of the cam bushing bore or the head will not get lube. Trust me, learned this one the hard way on a 40 engine.

The way it sits now the hole in the cam bearing is lined up with the hole on the top of the block that the oil pressure gauge screws into.
If you look through the oil gauge hole you could see the flywheel. if it were installed
Am I going to have to remove the cam to push the bearing in further?
Thanks.

Engine Plug
Dan,
The JD part # is M 108 T. John Deere is pretty Proud of the plugs with a cost of $11.25 each. The out side Dia. is listed with Deere as either 1.927" or 1.951". I think I got the last one I used form an engine rebuilding shop. They also installed the Rear Cam Bearing wrong.
Get yourself a parts book for your crawler and set up an account with John Deere at https://jdparts.deere.com/.

O.k. Lavoy
I'm ready.
I have called every John Deere dealer in Maine with poor results.
Oh I would have had their undivided attention if I were purchasing a new excavator or something but seemed too bothered to look up the parts I need.
I would rather buy from you .
I need the afore mentioned cam plug, a new fan belt and the front bolt that holds the throttle bracket on the head. This is the long skinny bolt.
Thanks.
