The knob on the remote is to set the speed from slow to fast on how fast you want it to rase and lower your equipment

[@marioross3524]

Hey Guys as you can see when you took the starter to the shop it worked just fine. Negative to the case. ( not to any lug) Positive to the solenoid top terminal then with a screw driver you can jump across the top terminal ( positive lead ) that comes from the batt to the small screw to energize the Bendix that throws out the starter gear and close internally the loop to the starter to turn. When the solenoid is energized it closes the loop ( connecting the top large post to the large post at the bottom ) internally to make the stater turn. transferring Positive from the top Large post of the solenoid to the bottom, if you only put positive the the bottom post the starter will only turn but the gear will not come out.

[@glennjukes5581]

Won't find many small independant shops like that anymore.

​yes major short they are getting old I guess. I'm seventy two but I seen that right off the srart.

[@johnweatherford5760]

I also had a friend paralyzed from the waist down. Hank he also liked starting tractors while he was standing in front of the tire! It was also in neutral but jumped in gear!

[@arvbergstedt3303]

Same thing happened. Guy got run over jumping the starter on a 1150 MF. Always use a remote button with long wires and be in the seat when bypassing a primary starting circuit. Or better yet. Fix it.

I've installed the service body and tool boxes just like your setup. Houston Texas.

Nice! I'm loving mine

[@norman7179]

That tool truck needs dedicated battery storage and some LONG, heavy gauge jumper cables. Why carry batteries to/from the machine when you don't have to ???

[@Oldtruckguy37]

That 4030 exhaust was closed but the top of the air cleaner was gone...so the rain flooded the intake and went into every cylinder with an open intake valve. I'm guessing/hoping the others are dry? Love the channel, enter me for the hat!

[@montgomerypoulos6076]

Good ol john deere 4230 started rolling in production in 1973-1977 and horsepower ranges at 100 hp. I actually have 1 myself with a bushhog loader on it, the 4230 in my opinion is one of the best tractors john deere ever made. A little tough to crank in the cold but other then that a great tractor.

[@arvbergstedt3303]

Montgomery. We had some JDs at a coal mine. 4640 was always hard to start in cold weather. Starter turns too slow with 6 volt batteries in series. I once worked in a tractor dealership. And other brands spun fast with 12 volt batteries in parallel. And started quickly. I talked the shop bosses into letting me change it to 12 volt batteries in parallel. 👍. Solved the problem. Spun faster. Started much better. JD engineer (cousin) wouldn’t believe me. I said, just try it.

[@notyou6950]

I'm glad you figured this grounding problem. I'm also glad you're not working with explosives!

The 6404 serial number on the block is six cylinder 404ci engine for those that don't know much about jd your right hank about the hp there pretty good old tractors depending on the transmission but id be interested in all those including the combine if the price is right love the videos how are you liking the hitch in your truck

[@jefferyrightmire9520]

@ 28:54 I see that you have connected the battery ACROSS the solenoid. When you engage it, all you are doing is SHORTCIRCUTING the battery. One (-) of the battery terminals should be GROUND or the frame. The other goes to the top terminal on the solenoid.

[@jefferyrightmire9520]

@ 39:56 you are not even connected to the battery.

[@hiscifi2986]

Watching Willie wire that battery across the solenoid contacts, almost made me yell at the screen, that it would short circuit the battery... But I watched further to see what would happen. Well the magnetic flux around those cables was as expected. Remember only the Positive lead to the Solenoid. The other goes to the metal frame of the engine for Negative Earth. The two large posts on the Solenoid short together when the switch is made.

[@seththompson1912]

JDE-80 is a starter removal tool. It’s designed to get to the bolt on the upper back side of the starter to remove it from the flywheel housing.

[@JosephRozum]

[@WatchWesWork]

Nice rain funnel on the intake!

[@LightningFabrication]

I think you figured it out but you were dead shorting that battery out. You had the ground hooked to the motor side of the solenoid. When you pushed the start button you connected the ground to the positive side of the battery. That JDE-80 wrench is a John Deere starter wrench.

[@chrishunt5727]

I could definitely bring this tractor back to field use as it was from factory! Love this old iron!

Love watching you and Wylie starting these old equipment but every time I get on my old case 1194 tractor I always use your catch phrase-Will it start--

I ran into one of the last USAF Warrants in 1990 as a fresh out of basic Airman and he was not happy I didn't salute him. Didn't recognize the rank.

You need to hook the ground to the frame and not to the solenoid, positive goes to the top lug to the solenoid. My husband rebuilds alternators and starters. You guys are too funny! Love the videos.

[@JRRott-mj5jq]

Hank you gotta touch the wire on the other terminal on that solenoid to make the motor work on is the bendix one is motor

That water in the crankcase maybe from the exhaust and goes on that is a crankcase through the Rings my white 2 105 did that and I fixed it were the curved pipe on a muffler

great video - you guys were killing me when you didn't have the battery connected when testing the starter I was yelling at the screen - my wife was wondering what was going on lol

[@heatherbrown2761]

Just want to say I am with Wily, ground comes off first. UNLESS positive ground system in which case positive comes off first. Doing it this way eliminates most chance of arcing.

[@norman7179]

Ground cable should be first off, last on !

[@heatherbrown2761]

@@norman7179 Exactly, unless it's a positive ground system and then you pull the positive off first and then last on. If you have never heard of a positive ground system look it up. =)

[@Deere8245r]

The tractor serial number is on the back axle housing and is the one that was zoomed in on briefly. It’s a 1973 which was the first year for the 30 series and was the 155th 4230 across the assembly line .

You guys are doing such a great job I like to see the old green and yellow come back to life. I have worked on many of them with the gentleman that I used to work with farming here in Indiana so I do know a little bit about those and yes the other starter should work but since this one works and get it cleaned up and give it a shot😂

[@Hfoutdoorsyt]

[@charleskey2842]

Wiley got jokes today I love it. Man I love watching y’all

[@bluecollarracin524]

Well you had the starter grounded to the tractor and were using a battery that was not grounded to the tractor so..... you weren't completing the circuit. 39:45. you need to run the ground from the starter to the battery as well when you use an outside power source from a separate non chassis grounded battery ;) When the bendix was coming out and going back you were energizing the bendix only. You have to jump the starter energize circuit as well to get it to go

[@ratbag359]

At 26:22 is where your issues started the bottom stud of the starter solenoid is not ground it is b+ when the solenoid is engaged. the case of the starter or engine block is b-/ground. The likely reason it did nothing with the correct arrangement was the step you connected b- to may of not had a good connection or bad path to the engine block. Well back to watching :)

[@rayclarine793]

Watch all the videos yes your truck is well laid out I'm watching from Scotland

[@RichardBarker-d1h]

Hey Hank When you pulled the dipstick on that 4030 , it reminded me of when I was a young man taking a leak . 💦 It was a long , strong , steady flow 😂 bro. But I have NEVER seen it come out of a tractor engine before . I also have to steal the 14 foot ladder joke ! Thanks boys. I think the singer was George Benson 👍

[@stevenicoson6670]

Thanks for another great video. It was interesting. Well I wish I knew all about those starters but sounds like the hook up was wrong or something like that. Oh my. Hope you guys got it all figured out and the starters working right. That old tractor does not look that bad. Hopefully you can get this beast running. Thanks for everything Wiley and hank. Take care. The Iowa Farm Boy.

[@Hfoutdoorsyt]

Thanks for watching!

[@brucedavis2260]

That crooked speciality wrench id for replacing the starter. The 4230 was made from 1973 to 1977. 100 hp. There is a ledge in that fuel tank. You did not go all the way to the bottom.

[@jeffdixon9025]

What kinda truck was behind you and Wiley at the 1st big tractor you were starting to start??

[@brucedavis2260]

The lever on the hydraulic hookup in the back is to speed up or slow down the cylinder that is hooked up to the tractor. Turn it to the left slowes it down turn it to the right speeds it up.

[@luvtruckin]

You do or at least I hope you realize that the interaction between you two is the most entertaining thing an when you get one running well that’s just icing on the cake. The most memorable thing is Wiley under an excavator and you asked him if he was all right an he says I’m fine I’m just under here contemplating how it is I got here. God bless both of you.

[@adamfullerton1192]

Got lo love theres older tractors. Lik to see how easy it is to will it start the today's tractors 15 20 years from now

[@missouinative9579]

the JD wrench wiley had in his hand is the special wrench to reach the back bolt on the starters it was in the cab of the 4230

[@kevincouvillion]

I’m glad you didn’t give up with the starters i’m curious to see if the tractor starts.

[@M_Phipps0520]

That tractor is number 55 of the assembly line and built 1973 , 100 horse power at pto and 84 at draw bar! Serial number is the plate on the back of the tractor! Also it takes 2 6 volt batteries 12v system

[@arvbergstedt3303]

Try 2 12 volt batteries in parallel. Usually crank faster and start better in cold weather. In theory 6 volts are better. In reality pushing all those amps from one battery through another

[@claytoncoolidge992]

Guys you have to supply power to the big and small terminals and ground to the starter body both them were probably good

[@RobertGregory-ix6hs]

I like 👍 the tractor 🚜 that the both of you are working on I think 🤔 it looks good and maybe 🤔 you’ll can get it to work you’ll have a great day

I had that problem off head not wanting to sit flat on engine block after I had head planed an it turned out to be warped block in centre

[@shortytari]

Not sure if anyone said this because I did not read all comments , but the 4030 and 4230 have different size engines. The 4230 is a 404 the 4030 is a 329 I believe and they are different blocks and heads. (Notice injection pump and injectors are on the opposite side on 4030). I’m not sure if starters are the same or not. They might be but you would have to look it up.

[@mikeclark4416]

What a Great Idea love the tow hitch -Brilliant

[@billblumenthal4144]

The body of some starters with bendix is isolated and uses tractor frame to ground the starter motor. We use to run a ground strap from the negative terminal on the starter solenoid to the starter motor body to bench test a starter assembly. Long story short, neither of those starter motors were grounded.

[@larrybrewer6924]

You guys Sure could use a remote starter switch along with a set of starter/ air compressor wrenches

Answering your question about the weed eater, here in the uk i would call yours a strimmer where as a straight shaft one would be a brush cutter.

[@williamtrenary263]

Watching you two trying to get that starter going made ne shak my head back and forth so much that my neck hurts. First take that ground off the field lug place it to the drive end housing. Then place the hot wire to the top lug then take a jumper lead from the got wire and jump to the smaller lead. The way yall were doing it is a good reason why so there are so many unnecessary trade ins.

Speeds up or slows the hydraulics down. Uses 303 fluid and by the looks of it it's a 4230 90 (Low-Profile)The John Deere 4230 was the Generation II replacement for the popular 4020. A row-crop tricycle front-end was an option on the 4230. Along with the smaller 4030, this was the final tractor from the Deere's Waterloo factory to have a tricycle option

[@Hfoutdoorsyt]

303 is outlawed in a lot of places ain't it?

​@@Hfoutdoorsyt not that I'm aware of it's what jd recommends in most of the equipment I do work on . Though jy gaurd is backwards compatible but much more expensive unless you are putting it in something newer than the 70s just use the regular hydraulic oil as the say any oil is better than no oil
