RE: 830 john deere needs some help
Does it use oil? My 830 had excessive crankshaft side thrust at some point in it’s life resulting in both inner snap rings retaining the piston pins popping out and grooving the cylinder walls very badly. To compensate, the previous owner reset the fuel rack to wide open. After a fresh overhaul, the tractor really seems anemic, but runs perfect with no smoke at all under full load. I would like to dyno it some day to see what hp is, but it pulls my 5-16s ok in 2nd gear.
