[b:654c4848f0]3.Are the lights supposed to be painted green?[/b:654c4848f0] No. In several of the photos in the Operator’s Manual the lights are painted black.

[b:654c4848f0]4. Do you have any close up pictures of the correct way to route the fuel lines?[/b:654c4848f0]

Take a look at the diagram below.



The fuel system on "John B" our 43B is similar to the fuel system pictured above.

Here are a couple of photos that show the fuel lines.





[b:654c4848f0]5.When adjusting the oil pressure do you tighten the adjustment bolt or loosen it?[/b:654c4848f0]

The following information comes from the John Deere B Tractor SM2004.

Loosen jam nut and, with a screw driver, turn adjusting screw "out" approximately two turns. Place cover on crankcase. Start tractor and run it at a fast idle until engine is warm. Check oil pressure. If pressure is not within required limits, stop tractor and turn adjusting screw "in" or "out" one turn at a time. Turn adjusting screw until oil pressure guage registers between 10 and 15 pounds. Tighten jam nut.

[b:654c4848f0]6. Does your clutch make a slapping sound sometime when disengaged?[/b:654c4848f0] No.

[b:654c4848f0]7. What type of bolts did they use from the factor for the hood, grill and battery box? Hex head or slotted pan head bolts?[/b:654c4848f0] Reviewed the Parts Catalog No. PC-675 on page 43. Key 40 A 3232 R Clutch Head Machine Screw 5/16”x1/2” (8 used).

Hope this helps.
