That metal tube contains the suction screen for the trany and all hydaulics. You no doubt lost all fluid too.
It is not an expensive part, and while your at it-change the filter housing.-Good Luck!

Jason,
Several come to mind-Bubco, Triangle and Freedom Hitch are a few.
I am making mine by using at the best and worst of each and fabing a composite of those.
It sure beats bustin' knuckles.
Good Luck

This same thing happened to me, I also have a 4200 HST.
It would not start right up when hot but would ALWAYS start cold. It ended up being the thermistor located behind the fuse block. (about $4.50 for the part, $10.00 shipping and about 1/2 hour of EASY work for a change.
If you need more details, post back.

It might be if you are pulling a lot of hills.

This may sound way-out but bear with me. I have a 4200 that is 5 years old and 500 hours. It runs like a champ, but I had a hard starting issue for more than 2-1/2 years. It refused to start right up if the weather was hot. At 0 degrees it started no problem, but above 70 or so it would crank but not start. After several tries (and 1 or 2 false starts) it runs just fine. It ALWAYS started within 5 or 10 minutes. NOW the fix- a bad THERMISTOR behind the fuseblock. Costs about $4.25, and solders in after cutting out the old one. JD part # LVU10323. Thanks to Alan at Pittsfield Lawn and Tractor.
GOOD LUCK!

You did not mention if you have a MMM, but if you have the center lift for one, the lever mounted on top of the right fender is not returning to it's detent position, allowing a bypass of fluid-and substantial power to be unavailable.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the input all-
Additional info:
When it starts, it purrs like a kitten, it has never sputtered, or belched unusual smoke.
I did try one additional thing-I closed the fuel shutoff valve near the fuel filter on last shutdown, thinking it would prevent any bleeddown-N.G.
I am going with the fuel shutoff solenoid.
Any idea how much this little gem costs?

I have a 4200. I bought it new 4 years ago and insisted on a direct injection diesel. I have NEVER had to use the glow plugs to start this tractor-even when it was 0 out.
It is kept in an unheated shed and I love it!

Don't forget the AC 616 or 620.
Sorry, sold my 620 4 years ago. (for a JD 4200)
The 616 is a 16 h.p. (vs. the 19-1/2). I'm not sure if the engine is a CCKB or not.In any event they are all virtually identical except for decals and color.
A great low c.g. tractor.
The only problem I ever had was the point box, being soft aluminum, would throw the timing off because as you would tend to keep tightening the point box to keep it from moving, you would distort the housing. The way to solve this is to purchase a "high-top?" extension which raises the point box about 3-4 inches.
Four Season Tractor Sales (ask for Mark) in I think Wisconsin or Minn. (sorry I tossed the number) can get virtually any part you need, new and used. GOOD LUCK!

I'm confused-my AC 620 (which I sold for a JD 4200) was a hydrostatic drive. The "clutch" you mention-if you mean the dual belt idler setting of the spring, it should be 10-7/8" (refer to the manual for location).
Check the carb settings and VERY important-check the point box. It was my experience that due to it's aluminum construction, it would distort when hot, allowing it to move and throw the timing off. Good Luck!
