New Here / John Deere 430 garden tractor

[JD430ML]

Hello Everyone, I am new to this site and have a John Deere 430 garden tractor that I am using / trying to restore at the same time. I am having problems with finding parts through John Deere and was wondering if anyone has had good luck with the download repair manuals online. Any advice is appreciated. It has the yanmar 3cyl diesel engine and runs like a champ except for a water pump problem that I am currently working on. Thanks again,
ML

Deere is likely the best bet for new parts, if available.

Otherwise, parts pop at on eBay when someone parts one out. Are you saying the water pump on the Yanmar isn't available through Deere? I'm not sure what you are after.

In 2006, I replaced the water pump on my 430 with Yanmar diesel engine. Got it from the local dealer. Works fine. Hour meter says 3500+
