My "new" JD 420C loader...

Post by blackb23 » Fri Jun 08, 2007 10:33 am

Hello all,

Glad to have found this list! I just bought a JD 420C with a loader. Of course my wife thinks I am crazy. But, she new that when she married me. It is actually in really good shape it was completely redone 7 years ago by the PO. He did a really good job. It isn't a restoration though, just a working tractor. All of the sheet metal work is homemade.

As of right now it runs great... But, only if you are going straight forward or backward. I guess the steering clutches are stuck. hopefully I am not going to have to completely replace them and I can just free them up. The thing has been sitting under a carport for the last 2 - 3 years.

Any advice on how to proceed from here. I would welcome any comments you have.

Thanks, Mike

Unique looking machine with that homemade sheetmetal. I've not ever had much luck unsticking clutches. Usually have to rebuild them.

Very nice, thanks for posting the pictures.
