I have started the repair and investigation of the 430 John Deere to see what has been the issue of the leak. After the video I discovered my measurements were not correct and I had to make adjustments. Don’t listen to closely to my math on this project. It is never a bad idea to double check your figures before proceeding further. Thanks for watching and please like, follow and share.

Great video of what looks like an amazing show! So nice to see so much of it!
Thanks for taking us along! I’ve never seen a 30 or 40 series with an open station and tricycle front… how cool!
I like John Dreere tractors
Another great video my friend, that’s a bummer about the fan shaft but I know you’ve got the skills and equipment to make it as good as new again
Thanks! I've enjoyed your tank videos as well! Appreciate the comment!
It was definitely a rough one in the shop! That 430 find was a tough discovery, it's easy to miss things in a complex system. I'm glad my 80s hydraulics were more cooperative! The DI seems determined to fight you every step of the way. I was going to mention making sure the fan side threads were good, mine shot the fan into the radiator. Yours decided to give out on the other end! Mine got welded back up and rethreaded
Yup, that 430 about ate my lunch! I was fortunate that I had bought that other rockshaft assembly on a whim. Hopefully the DI will come to its senses and start cooperating! Thanks!
@@MichaelBarney58 Only if you threaten it, wag your finger at it, and tell it to "straighten up and fly right!"
Don’t be to hard on yourself about the DI, rust is a powerful adversary!! I look forward to your videos, thank you for making them
@@toddstryker2471 There will be more videos, I’m certain of that! Appreciate your encouragement greatly! Thanks for watching!
I had a 1939 and a 1946 model H. Wish I still had both of them.
I've used a alligator clipped wire as a substitute ground on a plug for testing. I like the jumper cable idea as well haha. Better than laying it on a D block that's covered in gas.
I hate to get bit by the ignition. Years ago I flooded a '39 B and thought I had the mag grounded when i was clearing it out. Had a big fire! Used a 30# fire extinguisher off of my company truck to put it out!
@@MichaelBarney58 I've got bit a few times by magneto. I even used it to light up a couple friends LOL. One of the worst times my arm felt it for a few hours after. Ouch.
One trick I've used for decals, have it firmly taped on top like you did, then peel the backing paper off from the top down, very slowly revealing the adhesive, pushing the decals in place as you work the backing paper off and down. It's nice to see all the detail work you put on your restorations, the details really matter. The wood block for the plug wires is a nice touch, at some point they moved to a set of 3, and it's mounted on the ventilator tube, the 30s era and later Ds at least.
That was the first set of Jorde decals that I installed. I was pretty nervous. Your method makes a lot of sense. not having a lot of adhesive exposed. I have more issues on styled tractors where the decal fits in the sheet metal recess. I need three hands for those sometimes!
That is by far the worst I’ve ever seen, but definitely a tractor worth saving, and I know it’s in good hands in your shop. I’ve seen my share of bent pushrods but never one that was bent that bad. Keep up the good work my friend
Appreciate the encouragement! Thanks so much Bryce!
I had to add more after actually finishing the video. I am just astounded by how stuck everything is on this poor DI. The amount of carbon, crud, and actual dirt INSIDE the engine blows my mind. I can't picture how it would happen unless it was in dust storm after dust storm. I'm honestly NOT surprised by the wear you saw. It seems everybody wanted to squeeze every cent out of their D before it was finally retired. And they'd give it....and more. My DI was still a stock bore, but had .018 of taper....and the block had been replaced. Thank you for sharing, and it makes me think, "Gee, maybe my projects aren't THAT bad"
It is without a doubt the worst I've been into except for a catastrophic failure. I had a 1930 GPWT years ago that the crankcase was open, no rod cap shims with lock washers stacked under the nuts to take up space, and gears sharp as razors, It at least would still roll over. There will be more hurdles, but I'll get there. Thanks!
Before I get too deep into the carnage I wanted to share a tip for anybody messing with the carb on their D, replace that very hard to get inner carb bolt with a hex head bolt. That way you can get it with a ball end allen socket and it's much easier to work on
Absolutely! A socket head cap screw would have saved much grief. In this case, I ended up putting the manifold in the mill and using an end mill. Welded two nuts on and twisted both off. Thanks Brandon!
@@MichaelBarney58 As stuck as that was nothing would have helped much other than Mr Cutting Torch, my favorite wrench
Thank you for another entertaining video reminding me of my struggles taking a DI apart! I have never seen a D pushrod bent that bad
Bad as I’ve seen also. The engine had to have turned over sometime in the past with the valves stuck to do that. May use them for wall art! Thanks Todd!
She looks a little rough on the front half... A little patience, time, and elbow grease - it will live again!
Thankfully the back half is in much better shape! Not discouraged, just determined! Thanks for the comment Kenny! Appreciate you watching!
Inside that carb made me go "Ugghh". She's definitely giving you a challenge. Challenges are good....right? Using that crankcase cover at the beginning was very illuminating just how badly it had rusted. My crankcase cover wasn't rusted, it was only dented....from the INSIDE out
Oh man, inside out is NO GOOD! Yep, she’s a challenge but we’ll get there. Thanks for the comment!
Thank you for another tear down video. I feel your pain on this one as mine was in very similar condition.
I believe this is as bad an engine as I’ve ever worked on (aside from big industrials that chunked a rod or dropped a valve) especially where rust is concerned. No matter, we’ll get there eventually. I appreciate your support! Thanks for watching!
She's rough, but if it casts a shadow it can be saved? LOL It's tough news to find something like that, but I think with the right amount of determination you can get it fixed up again. Dynamite might be required to get those pistons free.
Yeah, the pistons are gonna be tough. I have a couple of new friends who will help with the determination part (you know who you are)! Thanks for the comment! I appreciate all of your input!
Enjoy watching your DI videos! Thank you for making them and please show more as your continue the journey
Thanks Todd! Appreciate you watching!
A good place 2 start would W the john deere 2 cylinder collectors club / most likely that tractor 🚜 😊 was used 4 a high way tractor 🚜 they painted tractors yellow 4 road use 2 make them easier 2 see U need 2 take the sparkpkugs out and fill the cylinders up W spray oil or kerosene let soak it will take the next step would be 2 power wash the tractor 🚜 😊 get it clean then start on the sheet metal straighten out and fix 3rd sand blast the tractor 🚜 😊 4 the bolts U might get loose W spray oil maybe if not U will have 2 use a torch and heat them cherry 🍒 😊 red U know the carb and the magneto needs 2 be rebuilt and go from there 😊😊 OMG 5 14 2O24
I appreciate your comments. Thanks for watching!
I hope you can answer a question, I gave a D in my lower paster . I found the model number and serial number, dates back to 1934. I have the same yellow coming thru the green paint. Could this be a DI?
I have the serial number list for all of the DI s made. They were first produced in 1935 but it would be worthwhile to at least check yours out to see. Send me an email and I’ll look for you. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I have done a bit of research on the DIs and if you have any questions I can do my best to help
Looking forward to this project !
It will be fun! Thanks for watching!
I'm excited to see you dig in too! That horizontal mill might be awful handy too! That side seat industrial option sure made getting it inside much easier lol
Yeah, Daniel, the forklift driver, didn’t want to me between the fork and the tractor so the fender was a good option. It will be fun to see what awaits!
@@MichaelBarney58 being safe never hurts. Not being safe usually does. I wonder if I would have even considered the danger
Komee john deere👍 historiaa☺️
Excited to see this one come back around!
I am excited for this one. It has been on the trailer for three months and the urge to crack it open and see the condition has been tough! Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching!
Nice tractor I have a 46 D that a two had that they plowed snow with it has the wheels with the brake drums but no other parts so those wheels might be kind of easy to find ?
Thanks for the comment! The tractors with wheel brakes are rather hard to find. Deere changed the wheel sizes from 28" to 30" when the D was styled and there were more styled Ds with wheel brakes than unstyled. My tractor needs the 28' centers and wheels to be correct. Appreciate you watching!

Thank you for taking the time to show us your work.
Thank you for commenting and watching! I really appreciate it!
I’m the world’s worst about having too many irons in the fire! The LA and the AR are jobs for other clients. It helps feed the addiction, but also gets me behind on my stuff. Yes, the AR has turning brakes and they are listed in the parts book as being available for them. I call it an AR because of the upright exhaust and air stack but the brakes say AO. Makes you wonder what the production records say. I have seen your bar tread front tires and I was leaning toward that or multi rib. The three rib would fit my 730 so we will see. Good hearing from you! Appreciate the comment!
The AO vs AR brakes is why I asked. If you want hard to find look for wheel brakes for an AR or AI. They're harder to find parts for than even a D/DI
It looks like you're as bad as me having many projects burning at once. It's nice when you hit a roadblock that you can keep making progress on something else. I can't wait to see more on everything. I have my biases of course, but the 430 looks like a nice little one. The AR.....it has brakes? It looks like the AO style brakes and I didn't think ARs had that style. Not nitpicking, just curious. I do wonder what you're thinking about front tires for the DI. I think you could put practically any design on them and be "right". The 30s were kinda wild with treads. Have you seen mine?
Kind of a rare find, there! I am doing a complete mechanical restoration on a 1927 D. She was worse off than this one, by far. I have a friend that may know where to locate wheels for a DI. I will send him this video and you never know!
First Poppa B, thanks for rescuing her, second, is it normal for a D of this age to be on rubber ? Thanks, Alex.
This poor DI just makes me wonder, what did it do to have ALL the wheels replaced!
An awesome find, and great walk through of all the special industrial details. A beautiful example of an "as found" DI! Many were repainted green, including mine. A couple of the things I noted, the airstack is definitely not Deere, as you said. You can find good reproductions at Detwilers. The generator and light setup is aftermarket. I've seen it a few times. Some Deere light setups used one headlight and taillight. A later one used two headlights, mounted on the radiator. Your extended throttle is straight up, but photos and surviving tractors have it bent at an approximate 45 degree angle so it can be reached from the other side. Whether you're brave enough to heat and bend is up to you! I'd love pictures of it. The seat is all aftermarket. There were FOUR different seat supports used on the DI....at least that I know about. I can show an example of them. The stuck engine sucks but I believe you can beat that monster. The hardest thing will be the wheel brakes....especially the wheels themselves. That period had 28 inch tires with a rear wheel specifically for it. Later 30 inch setups could be used. ALL the parts between the 28 inch setup and the 30 inch are the same, except the rear wheel castings. I've rambled on enough. I can help with any questions. Does the PTO housing appear to be original?
👍
I grew up around old John Deere model A’s and love the green tractors, I don’t know much about this particular model so this was a very informative video! It’s in good hands and I look forward to seeing you bring it back around in future videos!
Nice find! I’m confident if anyone can bring it back to life it’s you my friend. I’ll have to stop by and check it out next time we are over that way
Thanks! Looking forward to seeing you!
very nice find! Do you want to sell it?
No, I don't believe so. I'm already gathering parts for the rebuild. I appreciate you watching and commenting!
I see you have a lot of the unique DI parts including the extended brake control, the brake lever, the extended throttle and what looks like the double clutch. FYI I've tracked down 38 of these DIs. Yours would be a new addition
Nice find!! One of my favorite tractors, have had a few of them.. Don’t see many DI’s around for sure!!
DI should be yellow
You are correct. On an upcoming video I'll show how much yellow paint is still there! Thanks for watching!
@MichaelBarney58 paint or primer. Jd used a yellow primer. I seen a lot of green on that D. Only way a industrial tractor would have green on it is if someone painted it the wrong color. Definitely a interesting situation you have
@@kennycriswell141 It’s paint. I’ve heard (not verified) that Deere wasn’t using primer that far back. It has been repainted at some point. Also, the serial number has been verified by Deere archives and I have the letter. It’s the real deal. I appreciate your comments!
@MichaelBarney58 that's one awesome find. I was rooting for it to be the real deal. I just didn't want you to be disappointed down the road. Sounds like you've done your research and know what your doing. Hats off too you and congratulations on a great find.
@@kennycriswell141 JD using primer started in the 40s. And it was only on castings. With my grandpa's D, I was scraping all sorts of grease and loose green paint, finding lots of yellow spots. It was indeed a DI, and many of the DIs were shipped off to the farm after working in construction
The first DI built was restored and owned in ga. Absolutely beautiful tractor.
I’ve seen pictures of that tractor. As you’ve said, outstanding! Thanks for watching!
Love the videos keep me coming!
Thank you that was fun what a machine.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for your videos. I also have a JD 430w and find your videos very valuable in the restoration of the tractor.
Thanks for watching and subscribing. I appreciate your comment!
Just liked and subscribed. We have several tractors. Mostly Farmalls. Also a 301 a JD and a 2010 Wheel 1964 JD Backhoe.
Good restoration.
Thanks for watching! I really appreciate your comment!
... I really like seeing those metal half cabs and metal doors with their glass windows ... Pretty rare to see ...
