I have been useing on plow blades and it has held up well. Pricing not bad. Can put right int the HVLP gun and spray.

I'm not sure about the "G" series, but have seen them on earlier series. I too am replacing a tensioner on one and the bronze bushing...

    JD 410 Diesel engine problem

    You can do those"in frame" for around $1500. You get every thing in one box except the head bolts which need to replaced. I would also do the injector seals and retutrn seals on the "t" fittings. The only thing you will reuse is the rods, and pins. The pistons are already loaded and are in the...
