Ken B 3,116 #26 Posted September 17, 2012 It looks like that poor old Deere had its heart ripped right out! You'll give it a transplant I'm sure and she'll be up and running thru the woods again in no time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CRE1992 135 #27 Posted September 17, 2012 Definitely one ridden hard and put away wet. Actually Craig, I would have to disagree with that, the rest of the tractor is in excellent shape, however it sat outside for a period of time, and water some how got into the engine and froze. Thus cracking the oil pan and block. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
520HC 207 #28 Posted September 18, 2012 Your 420 actually has a 1 7/16 crank, not 1 5/16. I at the present time have 4 of these beasts, 3 run , 1 not so much, but have 2 spare P220 engines, so I'm good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baerpath 517 #29 Posted September 23, 2012 am still in the process of locating an engine. Even if I got a 20hp onan from a wheel horse I would have to tear it down anyways, as the wheel horse uses a 1 1/8th crank and the john deere uses a 1 5/16 crank for the pto. However the crank shaft I have is great. So I really just need a donor engine. Have a rebuildable 20hp from a JD in the barn if you need it Duane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
