About the John Deere 420
The John Deere 420 Lawn Mower/Garden Tractor first came out at a price of $7,700 (1992), but you might be one of the lucky ones who found a good deal lower than that. The bad news is that, like any other tractor, the John Deere 420 Lawn Mower/Garden Tractor needs spare parts to keep it running; the good news is that we have all the parts you need at 60% off dealer prices in our inventory. Make sure you have access to your tractor serial number, because there is a chance that the John Deere 420 parts you need depend on that serial number. Usually, the serial number is printed below steering column. That serial number is determined by the year of manufacturing, so for a 1983 model, it starts with M00420X222001, for a 1984 model it starts with M00420X285001, for a 1985 model it starts with M00420X315001, for a 1986 model it starts with M00420X360001, for a 1987 model it starts with M00420X420001, for a 1988 model it starts with M00420X475001, for a 1989 model it starts with M00420X595001, for a 1990 model it starts with M00420X010001, for a 1991 model it starts with M00420X100001. They also have differential mechanical drum brakes. The type 0 (optional) 3-point hitch is very reliable, capable to lift 640 lbs [290 kg]. It is also worth noting that the independent rear PTO runs at 2000 rpms and the fact that there are not many tractors equipped with an independent front PTO like this one.
