Lavoy- thanks alot I was sure I was missing something so after an hour of rotating the valve, messing with the float screw and repeat, and just took it all apart and cleaned very well and put back together. Guess what? No change. Oh well there was a lot of crud got cleaned out anyway.

yes- it looks as if it has been ground down smooth at one time and spot painted green and then yellow over it at some point. Thats the only spot where I can scratch and pick and find green paint. So maybe the canopy is Holt also? Doesnt really matter, just curious. I was told the original owner had ...

Dave- My wife is convinced I have turned into a "computer Geek", I just cant get enough of this forum. I never had much interest in the web until I learned what a great tool it can be! The knowledge, tips, advice, ideas, parts, and combined experiences of the members here makes it an unbelievable re...

very nice- I would like to copy the way your hoses are run... much cleaner than over the hood like mine. Your right my blade is the same as yours. Where abouts does yours say HOLT? Also any chance of a right side picture?

Lavoy- Thanks for the reply, I have never heard of Balderson. Any educated guesses as to weight? I was guessing 6-6.5k or so (too much for a 7k trailer anyway). Any thoughts on value for this dozer? My plan is to cut a road and clear about 2 acres, rock and skid some trees. Then I would like to remo...

Hello- I was hoping to get some info about what type/model blade and canopy I have mounted and if original equip. I recently bought this (40c) it's not a 420 but I think the carb tsx641 and governor are 420 (at least according to service manual pics) I was also curious about ballpark value and weigh...

Just curious if anyone has ever removed the "econimizer jet" from a marvel schebler carb before? Mine is tagged as a TSX-641 on a 40c dozer. I think that some equip. fitted with these carbs has the jet while others do not. I found my rebuild kit through "Roberts carburetor repair" and they have a ve...

OK - thanks for all the great advice. Turns out its definately a 40 thats allright. I cant wait to work it, I should get some track pads that I ordered from Lavoy by wed or thurs to make a complete set. I have been running so much at idle just so I can listen to the old girl she is loading up a bit ...

Digger- About plugging those vents I was just curious if they may help to prevent condensation from forming inside the finals? This crawler has a canopy and the vents are a check style so I dont think they will let water in. Also with out a legible serial #, and besides the water pump how can you te...

search under 40 crawler- not 40c

If anyone is interested there is a 40c for sale on Portland OR craigslist for $2800

Thanks for the advice, yes I did go over most everything and only found a couple of loose track pads. I think I am ready to go I was just reading through the forums and was questioning how husky things are with the added stress of blade and winch hanging off the back. What a great site and bunch of ...

Im trying to learn from others mistakes and misfortunes instead of my own for once and wondering how hard can I safely work my new toy? Ive got a 40c with blade and winch, fresh tune and ready to work. While I was servicing and changing all fluids I noticed where both finals had been cracked and wel...

thank you- that was fast. do you think the brake should be left on or off when not winching but still using the blade ? or does it matter. the lever on the winch is bungeed in (disengaged) im guessing because there is no spring or detent to keep from "falling" into gear. the brake looks original and...

proud 3rd owner of 40c 4 roller with winch, blade, and rops/canopy. very excited to start playing and working and just looking for any info on machine. it has a carco model c and am curious about correct operation... pto, engagement lever, and brake. thanks for any and all info or tips in general. a...
