I worked in a auto machine shop years ago and a John Deere cylinder head came in one time ,but it wasn't near as bad as this one . Probably needed valve seats and valves !
How do you change the grease fitting on the greaseable bolt. Mine just turns in circles like there is a nut on the back. I have a 2005 Avery car trailer.
Does/Did this baler have a monitor or electric control? I just picked one up with out a control, and I cant find info about whether they all had an electric control box or not
It had a control box with a simple switch to run the twin arms. There was supposed to be lights for bale shape and a buzzer for full chamber but none of that was working.
Hey man can you explain what you said about the decals? I REALLY need custom decals for a 4250 but the ones on their site are incorrect and missing the silver outline around the Letters/numbers. Do they take custom orders?
Haha using straws, classic move. Used those for so many things growing up. Made fertilizer tenders with em, augers, bin systems, irrigation pipes, you name it
Love watching your videos, definitely helping me fix up my 310 as well, I do have a question, were does your spring on your belt tensioner hook to? Mine was broken when I got it and can’t figure out a good spot to hook it?
what would recommend to use for the oil filters? I tried a strap wrench, but it just can't quite get enough torque to turn it. It's too big for my current set of Channellocks, and i'm hesitant to buy the wrong thing again. Would love to know what yall used.
Hey, got a question if you still visit your page. I have a mustang 442 that looks about the same configuration as your skid steer, Been trying to get into the chain drive section under the floor pan but cant seem to figure out how to, Can you tell me what you took off or how you were able to get into yours and maybe mine is the same?
Was never into the chaincase on this machine, but usually you go in through the floor under your feet or on the outsides between the wheels on most skid loaders
So what caused it? If you can figure that out, it might be cheaper to repair, than to replace. It’s kind of important to figure out what causes a failure! Like mechanics 101.
I agree that its interesting to figure out why, but in this case it was in no way economical to fix the engine. It was too old and parts were not readily available. I rely on this machine to clean my barn where I can't get to with my large skid loader so it was important to fix it quickly instead of spending time trying to locate parts for an engine that already had hundreds of hours on it.
I'm working on getting my 345 back together. It took 5 years to source a correct working governor... Anyways, I ordered an accessory belt of a gates catalog for a 445 with the same engine, but it's too short. My machine was owned by a automotive garage and they cobbled parts they had lying around onto it over the years. I'm not sure if my alternator is correct. Is the one on your machine a full size automotive alt? If so, any idea on what the belt part number is for it? My pulleys and brackets are the same as yours. When I got the machine the belt on it was too long and it actually cut into the side of the battery.
Unfortunately we no longer have the machine so I dont really have any documentation for it anymore. We did have some issues with the governor over the years though and were able to track down a good ol boy from down south that helped design them. He made it sound like they are pretty impossible to replace anymore.
Hello I have a skid just like yours. Mine won’t go back on the rigth side only forward Do you happen to have a part number for the hydraulic motor ? Or is it hard to repair? Thanks
Very unlikely the motor or pump will be available. These machines have a seperate pump for each side, but I would recommend finding a good hydraulic shop to work on them.
Can you show a picture or video on the coupler that joins the engine to the hydro unit? I have one where the coupler has failed, and it’s just a mess down there! Like melted plastic? And obviously the flywheel is spinning , but not the hydro. Thank you
When my Grandpa Oliver got back from Korea in 1954, he bought a 1941 John Deere model B that had to be started by hand just like the one that you were showing us in this video.
Be sure to check impulse line from crankcase to pump for tightness of fitting and any cracks in the line. Also the line in the tank. Both of ehich were bad and leaking on the last sled I bought to restore. Couldn't see the cracks in the impulse line until I cleaned off all the old black engine residue and flexed it. Good luck!
They are not chokes...they are fuel enrichment valves. When the plunger is lifted the incoming air draws fuel directly out of the float bowl,thru a port into the intake of the carburetor for starting. Thats where thst crossdrilled plugged port goes. You can plug that missing one with the correct oversized lead birdshot tapped in. Snowmobile service tech..45 yrs. .....currently retired! 😀
So the second crank just bolts on thr flywheel? I think I'm gonna be reporting my 310 and that's my biggest issue is not knowing about that without pulling motor
This is the correct seal to use National Oil Seal # 472394 (auto parts stores have them). 1.937”x 3.00”x.312" The video is almost no help if you need instructions to change the seals. Pull the ROPS. If you are crafty with rigging you can use the machines boom to pull its own cage. Pull the floor where your feet go, then you will find the nuts holding each axle in. Small hands and wrists are helpful for the rears but still manageable. The nuts are 32mm. Rtv the cover back on if you don't have a gasket. I estimate it would take a few hours with instructions, mine took longer but I didn't know what I was doing and the machine was really dirty, there was literally old hardware found in the bottom of the pan.
@@GreenIronGarage You titled the video "Wheel Seals" so people come to watch the video to learn about changing wheel seals only to find out there is no information on changing the wheel seals. Sorry if I hurt your feelings.
Not really, you need to have your engine model and family numbers and/or serial numbers. Then you can go to a website like Jacks Small Engine and look up the parts book for your specific engine. The kits like these are usually in the accessories section
