I'm looking at buying a JD 420C for some landscaping and driveway maintenance. It has a loader, that is all I know at this point. It is painted Industrial Yellow but I don't know if it came from the factory that way. Supposedly runs and drives well.What were the weak points of these machines? I think I know what to look for as far as the tracks and sprockets. What else should I look for on these? I'm not sure what year it is. Any help is appreciated.

It will be from 56-58 as far as year. Check the final drives to see if there is any damage or welding on them. Take the inspection covers off of the steering clutch housings and look in with a flashlight to see if there is any oil in there. If there is, then you are looking at steering clutch repair in addition to whatever is causing the oil leak.
Find out if it is a factory loader, or aftermarket. There are some new parts, and good supply of used parts for factory loader, almost nothing for aftermarket.
