not sure where i got the friction discs. i ordered alot of parts over this rebuild, some from JD, lavoy and some other parts outlets that offer parts for these crawlers.

I've found RN Johnson helpful too. I also like the guys at PB&H. Scott and Brian both have been helpful with my Gearmatic winch in particular. Paul

If you are talking about the friction discs, I have them in stock.

I heard that RN Johnson went out of business and they auctioned off every thing a couple weeks ago.

i read on the internets that JD pulled thier dealership back in january but they were going to keep the repair and other parts open

Nope, all done, all the parts and inventory gone except for some shop stuff that they are selling like in a yard sale.

I've never been to RN Johnson's, though been by it years ago. My uncle ran several farms in Walpole for them, and I think my cousin may have worked for them. I can remember him, my uncle, telling stories about hunting with Tommy Johnson and the good ol' boys in Walpole, NH. Too bad I don't remember the actual stories. My cousin Doug has Uncle Stanley's 420C now, saw him recently, and he says they were always able to maintain it with parts from R.N. Johnson. (Pins & Bushings, etc. It sounds like they were real helpful to the small guys like us, and I'm not too happy that Deere dropped them like thy did. Sorry about the nostalgia rant, guys. JTP
