steiner 420

My 420 (Linamar LX790) runs OK with a few pops and sputters. When running I can see sparks all around the engine covers. I am assuming this is a secondary coil voltage leak. I have replaced Coil, condenser, and plugs. I found some worn spots on the spark plug wires, so I wrapped them in...

My wife and I decide to go up a size in garden tractors for greater comfort at plow days than our old IH CC gives us. Picked up this low hour(534) 420 about an hour from home. Had a 60" deck on it that has only seen 3 seasons of use in its life, spent most of its time in the barn. The mower...

I'm getting a good deal from a Steiner dealer on a 2001 420. One previous owner. Dealer had this re-powered for the home owner with a Briggs Vanguard 23 HP engine a while back. I guess that's a good thing. Any experience or opinions about this engine?

After last winter, this 60 something yo Hudson Valley homeowner decided he needs something more than his Tundra with a Fisher plow to take care of the 1/2 mile steep driveway and around the house. Truck does great on the road with 4 studded Nokian tires. But can't keep pushing snow against the...

I have an older Steiner S-20 that has the muffler one the side of the machine (not under the hood), in a similar setup to a Steiner 410, except it is on the right side of the machine instead of the left. The factory muffler is extremely loud, it sounds like it's essentially a straight pipe, I...

I just picked up a new to me Steiner 420 with the Kubota gas engine and a 60 mower deck. So far it has done good cutting the grass which was sitting about three feet tall in areas. Anything you experts think I should check out on it before I put too many hours on it? Runs well, appears to be in...

I read in the service manual John deere had trouble with the rear end housings breaking due to flexing stress at the transmission crossbar. I'm afraid today I discovered mine has suffered from this flaw. I took the left rear tire off and the first thing I noticed was a chunk of the rear end...

I have a steiner 420 with a kubota 600D 16.5hp diesel engine. I want to pop out a freeze plug and install a block heater. Does anyone know of a specific block heater that will work? I haven't had any luck so far. Hope you can help!

My uncle has a Steiner 420. It has an oil leak out of the front right axle. Is this a hard fix for someone with a limited mechanical experience? Is there a Steiner Service Manual I can purchase to repair this myself? I don't have the money to take it to shop to get repaired and I would like...

Anyone know where I can find a front end loader that will fit my John Deere 420 tractor. I think the factory model was a 44 model. I cant seem to find anything on the net. Thanks B

Have a late '80's John Deere 420, Onan engine, and all of a sudden the battery light came on, next the mower deck stopped. When I put it in forward (hydro) it began to die. To get it back to the house I held a stick against the neutral interlock switch next to the drive lever. Got it to the...

I'm new to this forum and also new to JD tractors. I bought a JD 420 garden tractor over a year ago and really enjoy cutting grass with the machine because it saves so much time over the JD 165 that I have. Now I'm considering adding a snow blower to this tractor but I have no idea what I need...

OK...so..my kids ran the tractor out of gas and then I think they ran the battery down by cranking the engine a bunch trying to restart it. It sat for a few days and now only makes a clicking or humming noise instead of turning over the engine. The battery woudn't accept a charge with the...

I learned that I have a Steiner dealer in my own backyard. He wants to sell me a 2004 demo Steiner 420 (now a 430 for 2005) for about the same price as a PT 425. I can then rent the occasional use items from him as needed to keep my storage and capital costs lower. He will deliver for free...
