Thank you so much from Scotland UK for such an informative video - I have a 4230 here also that one day, if I'm brave enough, will do what you guys did. Keep up the great work.
Sure has a much better sound than before and it isn't smoking under load WIN WIN and more hp I'd say you hit it out of the park Probably would last forever now Keep up the good work
Seeing this rebuild may help me like a 4230 again. My cousin had one a long time ago, and I had a love/hate relationship with that tractor. I loved to hate it...lol.
I started working for a Deere dealer same time 30 series came out. Sound Gard cab was light years ahead of the competition, some never did catch up. The engine were a little weak. The 40 series were a much better all round tractor. Will be nice tractor when you get it all done.
It would have been very cool to witness the 30 series come onto the market! The first new John Deere Grandpa sold as a Deere dealer was a 4430, and that same tractor is sitting in the shed today 👍
That turned out awesome!!!! You and your uncle do dam good work!! Great video!! Your grandfather sounds like a awesome guy!! I hope we get to meet him a little more. It’s obvious he’s a hard working on the go kinda fella!! But maybe you could get him to sit down sometime and give a brief history of his farm!! I’ve been thinking about your barn that burnt and how you guys were making out with it. Well take care and as always WORK SAFE 😎🇺🇸🇺🇸 and talk to ya next time bud 🙂
That's how we finished our rebuilds. Fire it up, make sure fluids stay contained. Straight to the dyno. Absolute minimum idle time. Not looking for a power number at that point. We just wanted full load, full boost for 20 minutes. Idle it down, let it cool off. Next morning head re-torque. Oil & filter change. Sheet metal back on. Then if we were looking for a power number we would make pump adjustments on the dyno again. We found engines we put through that break in process made the same power for more hours with less oil consumption, and less blow by.
we had a 4230 engine blew and we went to Iowa and got a 4430 motor from a burnt tractor and put in...smooth running lots of power...the engine blew cause we ran alcohol in it..pulling ..broke the crank..didn't know what we were doing
Extra horsepower in a given size tractor is always ok until you overload the PTO or drivetrain. As a mechanic, I’ve seen the results of 150hp 4020’s and 806’s. Same size tools a gear faster and a little less throttle=fine. Add extra weight, bigger tires and pull bigger equipment=scattered drivetrains. No matter the brand.
What "settings" do you change on the dyno for a 4230 vs a 5020? We had a 4230 that started popping out of gear going downhill with a load behind. Traded up to a 4240 and never looked back!
In your words the 11000 hour engine turned 115. And the fresh engine with turbo and high compression pistons only turned 125. Any chance the dyno wasn't dailed in right for the first test? I am enjoying your channel. Not trying to stir shit. That first dyno test number just seemed high.
Lol at the fuel turned up comment .. it’s perfectly legal to turn the fuel up on a tractor or diesel truck no one is gonna get you for putting stuff about it on RUclips

whoa... thats sick.

I gotta tell you these videos are the highlight of my week. Seriously!

We have had good luck with our 4230s!
Thank you John for another great video. Looks like you guys are getting it ready for a pull! Hope your classes are going well. God Bless.
I appreciate your videos being a john deere freak you done an excellent job of explaining every step of the process also glad to see the narrow front.
Cool stuff is on the way? All your stuff is cool 👍We ! I enjoy all your videos! Thanks for sharing with all of us!

Thank you! You're absolutely right, Gramps is a hard guy to pin down, he's always busy doing something! Thanks for watching and always commenting!
Türkiye den merhaba eski traktörlere bakım ve restore etmek süper bir fikir gerçekten mükemmel özellikle detroit dizel V8 canavar bir traktör🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷

Another awesome video you do a great job with your videos keep up the good work
Thanks Phillip!
The fuel may or may not be turned up lol. That's a good one 🤣
Been waiting on this video sure sounds nice. It's too bad about barn but that's why give insurance person money.

No honeymoon eh....straight to the dyno, lol.
Gotta break it in 👍
Nice 👍
So put it up to bit higher than. 4430 basically. Does it start well now?
Yo yo busy day just getting time check it out
We all know the fuels turned up lol. Otherwise it probably wouldn't do anything other than just idle.
When you fix up these tractors, do you upgrade the batteries to 12 volt parallel or do you leave them 6 volt series?
Yes they get converted to 12 volt batteries.
Thanks, video’s are great nice job!
Needs more fuel! Turn the pump up some.
It's maxed out!
Man that's a lot of blow by for a fresh rebuild 🤔
Not really, at this point the engine isn't even broken in
The piston rings are not seated yet that is causing accessive blow by
What "settings" do you change on the dyno for a 4230 vs a 5020?

It was set right for the first run, that is for sure. We ended up getting 135 horsepower out of the tractor after all the work on it.
What kind of transmission
Quad Range
that heater hose isn't going to last long for a turbo oil drain line.
It’s not heater hose
135 horse? Really? That seems light seeing as that tractor would have come factory with 120 I believe. But never the less it sounds awesome
No sir, 4230 was rated at 100 pto horsepower
Not really. Its goin full power. If you were at full power for that long Im sure youd have some blow by too.
To much air and not enough fuel can burn a piston under a hard pull.
Lol at the fuel turned up comment .. it’s perfectly legal to turn the fuel up on a tractor or diesel truck no one is gonna get you for putting stuff about it on RUclips
Put some more fuel to her. My sons 4010 with no turbo has more power than that.
