    5420 stuck in park

    clutch working fine. I tried the stuck in mfwd trick, jacked up a front wheel and rotated it front and back to limits. then tried to shift out of park and it worked. Everything feels normal now.

    I have a Deere 5420 with power reverser. Today I parked with clutch in put in park and let off clutch, tractor lurched forward and stalled, making a grinding noise.

    new holland 617 seized

    After one pass around a 10 acre field my new holland 617 gave a clank and stopped. The belt was slipping so I shut off the pto. Raised it up out of the grass and inspected but saw nothing stuck in the rotors. Back to the barn and took off belt cover and belt. The small pulley on transmission has...

    My instructions show what appears to be a plastic stop. this one is steel, replace anyway?

    john deere 5420 fuel injection pump

    I see. It limits the roller movement. I set it for the specified dimension while giving it air pressure. Now i need to find torque for the delivery valve. It feels like the stop is bottomed out on the delivery valve before the plug is flush.

    john deere 5420 fuel injection pump

    Good information. I'm in the middle of Kentucky and had no trouble last winter. I will leave it unplugged . My instruction paper is missing torque value for roller retainer leaf spring. specification dimension for maximum roller to roller is also hard to find. my pump is a db2 435 - 5354

    correction: it does have a magnet coil on the bottom but the wires are tied up, and not plugged in.

    john deere 5420 fuel injection pump

    Yes, it does. amazon to the rescue. Top is off and there it rust on all steel parts. I have been using off road diesel fuel, does then red dyed fuel have no rust prevention at all? The 301a i brought up from Florida was always run on regular diesel and never showed a hint of rust in the fuel...

    john deere 5420 fuel injection pump

    I removed wire from pump and turned on switch. touching wire end to pump terminal makes a spark but no sound or feel a bump. What would this take to repair? The solenoid was working when the pump was removed last year. I rebuilt the pump in my 301a , I feel ok about taking this on apart.

    The solenoid is getting power at key on but i don't hear much any more. I will get a non hearing impaired person to listen for me and report back. no wires on bottom of pump.
