Hoping that someone can help me here and that I am in the correct forum. I am rebuilding a K301AS-47433b motor for my 72' 112 Electric Lift Tractor. I read somewhere that it would be better to install a connecting rod from a 16hp engine instead of the standard rod as the fore mentioned has a stronger casting. Is there any truth to this. If there is, does anyone know the kohler number for this particular rod? This is my first rebuild on one of these tractors. I am planning to use a New style Standard Mahle kit 4787416s. The block was in exceptionally good shape for its age. The machine shop is honing it as we chat. I am hoping that this rebuild goes well as I have two other 112s that I would like to restore. Both are Dead!
I have also started to work on a 64' RF that I picked up at the end of last month. Always wanted one! They look so neat! Right now I am busy gathering parts to complete it. It was in a state of disrepair when I found it, and had a 63 wheelhorse k181 jammed in it and had been somewhat butchered. So far I have had pretty good luck finding parts. Just gotta get rid of that red color. I will forward a picture as soon as I figure out how too.
Your web site and forums are a wonderful tool. Hopefully it won't take me long to get the hang of it. My last post end up in the wrong area but the individuals were still very informative. I thank you for your time.

Harold,
They could be from a planter, but I have seen IH use them in super M's for the 3 point. I guess you could use them for anything. A 3-point is a good starting place though. |

All -
Thank you all, and you are welcome. This truely is "a site by its members". I appreciate everyone taking the time to enter their tractor(s)! Now we can look forward to 20,000!! :-) It took 8 years to hit 10k. I bet we get 20,000 sometime in the next 4 or 5...
(Robb - Did you just roll your eyes?)
Mike Duwe -
Unfortunately there isn't. We can probably narrow it down to a range of three or 4, but I do not think there is a way to pinpoint the specific tractor that was entered as 10,000. (Mike might know a way, we'll see if he shoots me an email about it...)
Thanks again everyone!!! We did it!!!

I had the pleasure of meeting Mike Czarnopis this evening. I got to see his tall shoot design on his 37A and 214 tractor. Very nice, makes me want one for my 73' 110 with blower.
Mike also had a rear end for my 65' 110 that he allowed me to purchase. Now I can go home, replace some seals, and I will be able to get the 65' going again before restore.
We had a great visit!! Thanks for allowing me to purchase the rearend Mike. I will send pictures when done. Keep in touch.

They are stabilizer rods for a 3-point hitch on a larger JD tractor. Maybe like a 50 or 60 etc. |

Does anyone know what these are? I got them a while ago as "extra parts".
I think they are just over a foot long, but adjustable.
Please let me know before use them for something else.

David,
The gasket for your 430 is M805706.
I take it you are talking about the elbow, correct? If you are, there are two of the gaskets; one on each end of the elbow.

Going with the flow of "Not knowing what one is doing", I have a question for you folks.. Is there a gasket of some sort that goes between the exhaust pipe 4-bolt mounting flange and the engine block on a 430? I have been looking at the prints, but do not see one. However, it only makes sense that one should be there; right??? Thanks! |

I am pretty sure I dont know what your doing either. But, if you have a question or comment about JD lgt's, I and lots of other good people will be willing to help you figure it out. Just don't ask me how to post pictures because I don't know what the hell I'm doing about that either.

Chris Neal - Congratulations. A huge chunk of gratitude should be pointed in your direction for this accomplishment. After all you were the person who put forth the effort to keep the registry current. If it wasn't for your continued encouragement of both new and seasoned forum members this wouldn't have happened - right? So once again, a big John Deere caps off to you for all your efforts.

Chris, any way to track who registered the 10,000 tractor?
I heard Cub Cadet is turning 50 soon (2011), that means JD will have been selling L&G for 50 years soon too(2013).
Wonder if there will be any big events at Horicon? When they sold the 1 millionth mower they had a big event. |

James C.
I just replaced the "in-tank" fuel line and filter on a 322 I am restoring. JD Parts called for a 4" lg hose on this and an "in-tank" filter specific to the 322. I already had a new one for a 318 and they were not the same. I read on here somewhere that the hose length was to be 5 1/2" for a 318. The tanks are alike, however the 318 uses the two position fuel valve and the 322 does not. Maybe Deere intended the pickup filter be in a different location on the 318's, I don't really know.......anyway I hope you can make use of this info.........Gary |

Holy John Deere's Folks!
We have officially passed the 10,000 mark in the Registry!
It appears that it happened on Tuesday night or Wednesday morning!
I'm with Robb, who would have thought we would ever hit 10,000???
A "thank you" to everyone who has entered their tractor(s) in the Registry, and to all those that send me updates!!!
I'm sorry I haven't been on in the last couple of days. We got hit hard with ice on Wednesday morning... No power for over 6 hours, some had now power for over 14 hours, and there are still quite a few without power going on 3+ days.

If you're talking about the reserve fuel line, there is a sump area built into the bottom of the tank. Thats were the line should be. |

Assuming you are talking about your 332, the front of your tank towards the motor is thinner or more shallow, I would think the hose should be laying towards that end of the tank, thus the reason for a 10 inch hose. Pointing back towards the wheels it probably is curling up out of the fuel. |

Make sure your fuel line is directed towards the shallow end of the tank. If it is remaining in the deep end, it very well could be curling up out of the gas. |

Thanks JDF thats what I was thinking. Anyway my next question is the fuel line that I removed from inside the take seems like it is curling up cause the engine to run out of fuel with half of tank of feul left. Should I cut the tube down in size? Its 10" right now it looks like it is a brand new fuel line any thoughts on what I should do. Thanks James |

On those rubber doughnuts for the fuel fittings...
For removal, I have had to cut them so the bottom half of the rubber falls into the tank and the top pulls out since the rubber barb is now gone. Some shaking of the tank will get the rubber out of the fuel fill.
When I tried to reassemble them on my 420 when I did the EFI install I struggled to get them back in the tank then the fitting back in the grommet.
I tried putting the metal fitting in the grommet then the assembly in the tank. No go.
Then I tried with the grommet in the tank and then presssing the metal fitting in it. No go.
At that point I contacted the experts and got this procedure.
Install the grommet in the tank. Coat the metal fitting with grease where it slides through the grommet. Press the metal fitting into the grommet.
Worked great. |

John,
Looking at the chutes you are better off going like Michael did for the chute.The tall chute would be better as the snow would be in the chute longer and appears that it would have a more up ward throw for the auger. |

! Never open hood with engine fire ! Keep it starving for air until you are prepared to fight the fire. Well here is the tractor I told everyone about last week. Thanks for all the good information - engine starts easy, runs well, all gears work and the variable speed also. The plow and blower are in poor shape! The mower deck is in great shape (this is really what I needed most), but I think that attachments for rear of deck are missing. Have two longer arms for each side that connect to frame, but nothing to reach up to what look like ball pivots on the lift? Any Ideas? |

Hi Gary - Yeah, seeing those side by side pics and hearing the testimonials of how good the new chutes worked sealed the deal for me. Very interesting to see the wear patterns on that old chute. I think you are absolutely correct.
Now we just need a bit of snow to try this puppy out!

John,
I have to agree with Michael on the poor design of the square chute deflector,even with it tilted back you will not get much heigth with the snow being thrown.Here is a pic that shows that the snow only hits at the top edge of the deflector,in my opinion just changing the deflector would be an improvement.

John F. you are going to love it when your done.the stock chute has a big flaw it rotates to far back not at the end of the bottom chute like the one you have. The stock chute deflector will never let the snow flow clean in any position. Bad design in my opinion. take a center punch and mark the back of the stock coler it should go between the two cleaence holes for the two 1/4-20 screws that hold the cable in place. care full with the welding she will heat up quick i have a mig welder.tig is better you can get better weld job.also it will warp along the welded areas .so try this after it is welded up paint the inside of coler with BLACK paint just enougth to cover. now put it on the blower rotate the chute left to right.Take it off look at the rub marks that is where you will need to grind away stock a flaper wheel works best for this keep repeating untill it rotates cleanly. this is called spotting. here are some pictures i posted in the hydro section.

Thanks for the painting tips. Im in the process of removing the fuel tank, my question is the PO said that the lines inside the tank need to be replaced he said that one was curling up so it will run out of fuel with a half tank or so. I have tryed to remove the rubber orange plugs but they seemed to be in there pretty good. Can someone walk me through this process? I do have a manual on order however I wont get it for a week or two. Thanks agian James |
