Okay Black-Sheep,
Grab it and growl.
Here is the link to the only place I know of on the web for the 396pg service manual for the JD 400 hydrostatic tractor. You can view it for FREE. For a few bucks you can download it or print it off. Its in PDF format.
It also contains the rear PTO, MOWER DECK, REAR TILLER and SNOWBLOWER complete info.
My daughter Emma was by for a visit and set this up for us. Dads a computer dummy.
Enjoy, JZM

I forgot to mention scribd.com has a free one month trial membership. After that $8.99 a month subscription fee for unlimited down loads to any of their catalog.

I saw somewhere $3.99 a month with a one year subscription.
You can ''view'' for free anytime, ''no subscription'' involved.
Lots of other JD literature there. The problem is digging it out.
I lost count of the hours it took for me to originally locate this 400 manual. Kind of like searching for a NOS crank for a k532. Ha! later,JZM

naw...I bought one w/my tractor. It is helpful to have info about the gear box on the mower and snow throwers contained within. Kinda a bonus.

Thanks James. I found that site as well and after seeing the document on-line, invested in a hard copy via eBay. Wasn't too pricey which is always welcome.

Somebody represented via ebay is printing them. I bought one for another deere model; 35.00 w/a three ring binder. I wonder if that same fellow is utilizing the website mentioned above.......?

Thanks for the link. I was just thinking about starting on the 400 I acquired last summer. This will really help

Scott, I got an OEM bound copy off eBay. Was a used copy presumably from a previous owner but it was in very clean condition.

Doesn't seem to work ...

I'm really sorry about that! This is my first attempt at document download.

I think I fixed it.

Try it again and PLEASE let me know if it works for you.

The network connection had to be restarted once for me while testing.

Jake,
Downloaded for me in 30sec. Thanks

Everyone,
The file at scribd contains bonus footage.
ie the optional factory attachments I listed previously. JZM

That did it. Thanks a bunch. It's good reading.

I had to start it probably a dozen times, most likely because I live in a rural area with a slow connection.

But, it works great. It picked up the download each time.
