I just bought a 1958 JD 730. Did all John Deere two cylinders with power steering have a dip stick as you demonstrated? Mine has a pipe plug & no vent hole.
You should be putting the pins for the dogs in the same way on all 3 of them and as you look inside the head of each pin should be on the right hand side. This helps when using the pulley brake to stop the clutch. Pressure will be on the head of the pin and not on the cotter pin.
When you mentioned that the firing order you pointed out on the cap the 1-2-3 then you said the cylinders on the motor are 1-2-3 but you did not have the camera positioned properly to see what end was one?
Just recently got a oil dipstick for you and it came in too weeks ahead of time so I am very happy with it thanks great job hope to do business with you all again love it works great 👍
Mine is the one without power steering, and has a lever below the steering wheel which you pull up to engage the PTO, this looks like a different model. Is this the same as mine?
maybe just me tried wire brush tried on stater with wood rod. finally had to tear it apart 1963 ford 4000 no magnets was springs and rust inside so think just to dirty but its cleaned up and fixed now
I'm kinda new to these Antique JDs. Trying to find more in on connecting hydraulics to my 46 A Slant Dash. Can't find info any where. Could you assist with a video?
Outstanding!… this is the demo I’ve been looking for! Got a 730 with a blown up PTO assembly. It was likely run extensively with PTO housing full of 90w. When I filled the transmission, it quickly leaked through the oil pump and filled the PTO housing and, poured out the PTO shaft seal. Really been dreading this job! Watching somebody else do it first always makes an unfamiliar repair job go a lot easier!
Will I have to say Sir that you pretty much saved my life today with your little video.... I appreciate it more than you know. That worked perfectly !!
You can also take a dental pick and follow each groove down until you find the one with the lock tang. Wiggle around and twist the starter gear the way you want it to go and it will release. Didn't have a bench grinder and had to come up with an alternative.
