I have some jd 420 questions (with pics)

[OutbackL130]

I'm in the process of restoring my first tractor which I picked up in rough shape. I've fixed most of the issues and have these remaining ones.

- The hydro pump started leaking badly. Can I fix it without removing from the tractor?

- Where does this stray wire go?

Thanks!!

As far as the hydro leak goes I am looking at the diagram trying to figure which parts to order. To stop the leak do I need #18 M85508 Seal and #14 M45375 O-Ring. Is there nothing else needed?

16 can come off to replace that bushing and the o-ring, no big deal. Just gotta pull the driveshaft and the tins. 5 minute repair once the fender pan is off.

If you can you're better off replacing anything thats easier to get to, if you're going to be in there. Save you a trip, like replacing a water pump with a timing belt on a car.
