Do you make Tecumseh parts?
I need to do this to my 400, thanks for sharing. P.S I am also in southern Maine
I have a John Deere 316(Onan), and I am looking to sell it to buy either a John Deere 400, or a Cub Cadet Super. Loved this video, very informative, keep up the good work.
That tractor is awesome.
🥉💯👍
Hope things are going as planned with the business. Keep up the great work and looking forward to the next video.👍

Thank you
thank you for providing the parts we need
I found it very helpful, I am currently working on restoreing a jd 400 myself.
Salut Norman, qu'elle belle machine. 😉
Loved the video.
Great video. I would love to see you do a video on tightening up slop in the steering linkages on the 400.
The service mnaul gives instruction for this. I recommend you download it, only $10. It was worth it for mine. www.bobcatmanualonline.com/downloads/john-deere-400-hydrostatic-tractor-service-repair-manual
thanks for sharing the video
Any place except Maine in winter, these air cooled John Deere s with the muffler right in engine bay makes me wonder if a fiberglass muffler wrap would benefit the engine's performance and longevity.
I have enjoyed this JD 400 Series. Just purchased one myself and am looking forward to working on it, and working with it. Could you possibly add an addendum to this video, or perhaps a new one in regards to how the PTO cable routes? Mine broke in a large rusted section right where it goes through the muffler shield after turning downward after passing over the pulley. I am unsure how it routes in relation to the muffler, exhaust pipe and clamps. I purchased a new one but I don't see any indication of how it was routed by the exhaust clamp and what it possibly was rubbing. Thanks!
I feel your pain all my outdoor sheds have ice in em
Thank you Norman! Does your shop actually fabricate the parts you sell mentioned in this video?
We are the developer of our brand of parts. They are manufactured by various partners we have. But it's all done under our company.
Great video. I don’t think the grill is supposed to bolt in, it would be the only one of that general body style to do so, but more then one has fallen out and been mowed. It’s not a bad preventative measure. .
Yes, it IS supposed to be bolted in. Its solid steel, not lightweight like the 318,420,430 grill
Sparta thanks. I was actually thinking of the 200,300,312,314,316 and 317 that were made at the same time, but apparently it’s one more thing that’s only for the 400.
Hello Norman, Looks as if you were at the end of the adjustment on the PTO, what then? Shorter belts or a new cable? Always enjoy you uploads!
If I lose belt again, I'll examine the idler assembly and go from there
The spring at the end of the PTO cable on idler pulley would be next to replace.
When snow blowing what do you set the rear tire pressure at?
Awesome tractor I am looking at getting one. Would recommend this tractor or a 318 or 445?
I like the 400 for the Kohler engine! The 318 is one of the most popular tractors ever!
Thanks for the video buddy,, question tho.. how is that engine leaking that much oil after just being rebuilt ? There is oil all over it looks like in the video anyways , maybe im mistaken..
There is no oil leak. When I first hooked up the snow plow, an old hydraulic line had a leak. Even so, there is nothing covered in oil so its probably just the lighting and the camera you're seeing.
isavetractors ahh I get it ,,yea from the video it looked wet then I saw your hands kinda greasy, thought ya might have sprung a leak somewhere,, we both know how that can happen with these older machines,, thanks for the video buddy
Oh yea I dont remember what I was doing before I filmed this video, I was probably wrenching on something else and my hands were greasy from that.
Does your idler pully have lots of back and forth play? Mine does which i'm wondering was causing one belt to not be fully engaged and kept causing the rear belt to fail within minutes. I think I've been running on only 1 belt for several years.
TheMastahC, that’s the failure at end of life. The pulley is softer then the shaft and becomes somewhat of a wear part. Usually 1000-1500 hours. When the pulley seems expensive look up what the shaft is.
@@rydplrs71 its not so much the pully itself as the swinging bracket. If you look at this parts diagram its parts 12 and 13 which can move out of plane with the other 2 pulleys. i.imgur.com/9HA35nZr.png
PTO belts still looked a bit loose after you adjusted the cable. The cable may be stretched out a bit and in need of replacing.
Check out my videos on converting a electric lift 112 John Deere to hydraulics, it's not done yet I am still waiting for the 3 phase 12v D.C. Motor controller, once I have that I will do another video of what I did and how it works.
Any ideas on how to replace the belts in a situation where there's a hydraulic pump on the front PTO shaft that refuses to slide off the shaft? We've drilled out the set screws and it still won't slide off?
I suppose you could remove the hydraulic lines leading to and from the pump then you can bring the belts around the pump and onto the pulley
We're did u get those front tires?
These are the original tires from when I bought it.
@@Isavetractors those are deff not org tire from wen it was new ... what brand are they . They look like China tires
I'll check next time I'm out there
@@stevenmaines9114 They are Green Saver Tires. Came with the tractor when I got it.
