I am located in South Central Pennsylvania. Crawler was running. Began getting water in oil. Engine out and torn down--leak at gasket at top of one cylinder distorted rubber gasket on one of the water passages to head. Has reverser. My health has taken a downturn and I need to sell it. Looking to ge...

Lavoy,

Would this rebuild kit be something that you sell? I have also found a semicircle of steel in the oil pan, it seems to be the other half of a spacer between the end of the crank and the rear main bearing. Would you be able to supply the injectors too?

Thanks

My 440 was running but it had water in the oil one day when I was going to start it. I have the head off and the pistons out. The gaskets in the water passages between the head and the block are swelled and look bad. Looking at the sleeves still in place, neither looks cracked. THe crank journals ha...

I have a 440 diesel crawler that has water leaking in the oil. It has the wrong sprockets on it and someone removed the reverser, the operating lever and the linkages. The engine ran when it was brought to me. Everything else worked, the transmission jumps out of gear easily. My questions, do I need...

I surely wish that I would have bought the one across from where I used to work. I think that they wanted $300 for it, this was 1985, so 300 was a little bit more, but still. It had some sort of a front attachment on it, surely it was a blade but I just can't quit thinking that it was a very small b...

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc92/gedive64/1a_12.jpg THis was for sale on eBay awhile back. There used to be one of these at an old surface mine near where I worked. I would like to know more about them. Apparently 2 cylinders are engine and 2 are compressor. Sorry if it's too off topic to be ...

I found the plunger and the place where the missing lever would mount. How hard would it be to find the stuff to make my reverser work? Also, it has a four spped transmission and just to the left of the gear shift on top of the transmission, there is a small lever that is positioned so that it is so...

I will now ask a really stupid question. I don't know if it has a direction reverser. When I picked it up, I was looking for the fuel cut-off which the former owner says isn't there--he just throttled it back and it would stop. In the process, I found a rod with a machined end that looks like it was...

Yes, it's a diesel and it runs. It heats up and if you stall it, it won't start again until it cools down. I talked to Lavoy about pads and will buy them if I confirm that the rails are ok. I am not sure what to do about the wrong sprockets. Any advice? Could this be why the former owner said it was...

Is it even a 440?
Does it appear the rails are shot? Would these rails be worth new pads?
Is the attachment point on the back suitable for a backhoe or just a counterweight?

Please give me any and all advice... Thanks!
