What kind of drive issues are you having? On mine, the planetary gearbox is welded together. The problem was that the part that was supposed to engage it would pop out. The box would spin a turn, then re engage for a short bit, then pop out again. A bit of grinding to change the angle to...

On their way.

On their way.

Sold a couple months ago. Thanks for the inquiry.

Hi Don, Just noticed the activity. Still looking for the manuals? I can send them if you like. I have them all, including the engine parts and service manuals. Gary N.

The crack you are showing is actually in what JD calls the clutch housing. The transmission bolts into it. The transmission itself does not need to be replaced. It will be removed from the back half of the clutch housing after you have done the front half split of the tractor. Removing the...

Pu Pull the angled plug on the front of the engine. Full is when the oil level is up to the opening, just not quite spilling out.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Watch the throttle butterfly pivot shaft and / or the governor linkage to the carburetor when you apply load. It should move more toward the open position. Another test is to push to linkage one way or the other to speed up or slow down the engine...

I would take a look at the governor mechanism. Sounds like it might be stuck.

Nice work. Mine had some strange white stuff growing on the points. Cleaned them up with some emery cloth and it was good. I'll take a look at the oil level inspection system on mine later today and will get back to you. Also had issues with the safety interlock switch.

Still need them? I have all the manuals including the engine.

Check my post from Aug 13, 2018. It might address the drive issue you are having.

I have a JD 4720 with a 448 backhoe. When it broke in half I replaced it with a Kubota M62. Not really in the same class. Great machine for what I am doing. So, I have a 448 for sale.

As jsb2b points out, the fan must be intact and properly spinning on the input shaft. Also, be sure the trans cooling fins are not caked with mud or loaded with dust or grass clippings.
