John Deere 4430 Repairs - Part 1 Overview

We are in the calm before the storm The snow has melted and hay season won't be for another couple months so it's time to do some repairs on the 1974 John Deere 4430 Our main problem is an internal high pressure hydraulic leak which starves the hydraulic pump and prevents it from getting return oil We had the tractor diagnosed by a local mechanic and he found the leak coming from a blown seal on the bottom of the rockshaft 3 point cover so we'll be pulling that While we're in the tractor we'll also fix some other minor leaks replace some bushings and some seals We'll fix the SCV coupler leaks and add a power beyond block for the loader We've owned the tractor now for about 8 months and we knew about these issues when we bought it When the main hydraulic pump is starved for oil the hydraulics shudder badly which makes the loader almost useless Since we'll be needing the loader for doing hay this spring summer this is something we need to get repaired We also use the remote hydraulics for our swather and post pounder In this video I give an overview of the tractor and talk about these issues and some others we'd like to tackle at some point This is the only critical problem right now I've already started the repairs so stay tuned for more updates Thanks for watching a https 3A 2F 2Fwww BlackHorseRanchIdaho com a Instagram BlackHorseRanchIdaho
