Thank you for all the ideas I have some thing to think about now. I think I am gonna lean toward the older collectable side.

Thank you

I have a 2010 gasser with a drott 4 in 1 bucket and model 50 hoe. The engine runs great no smoke it has a little troubles in reverse the tracks and sprockets are ok not really sure bout anything less obvious. If it sets awhile you have to clean the plugs before she will start. I paid 7000 but realiz...

WOW it sure looks better now than it did. I got some similar responses when I asked about my 2010 long story short you seem happy with your deal and that is the important part.

BTW thanks Tigerhaze after looking at my bucket I found i have a pin walking out of the bottom left and the keeper is gone Prolly woulda never seen it till it was too late.

Tigerhaze my model number is 53556 the same as Reddirts if you want any measurements off of it or pictures I will be more than glad to help

Tiger haze I have a Drott 4 in 1 I will check in the AM for a plate or if you need I can take measurements

I am about ready to go back together I discovered when I broke it down that I need to have my brake relined. My question is can I put the clutches in and then put the brake band in as long as I don't put the housing back on? This would allow me to get the sprocket back on and the track back together...

I bought a 5 lb slide hammer like my book shows I hope that will make it a little easier. Does anyone know off hand what size bolt I need to go into the end of the shaft?

TIA

I do have a manual I think it is as old as my crawler and the steering clutch part seems to be the most worn. Is there any tips or tools you suggest for putting in the cotter pins?


TIA

I am impressed I called Lavoy at 4:30pm (ohio time) on tuesday and recieved my parts at 1:30pm thursday. thank you for your help and for the information you share on the msg boards.

After almost a years procrastination I have the track apart the discs and gauge are ordered. Does anyone have any advice from this point?

Thanks in advance
Alan

Yup I knew it was a duh question. I found it I was just pulling the breather cap off of the top. I didn't realize the whole top unscrewed. I feel silly but now I know.

Thanks
Alan

I know This is prolly a Duh question but for the life of me I can't find it on my crawler or in my book. I know what kind and how much it is supposed to have but I cannot find a dipstick. I found a cap on the trans by the steering levers to the left of the shifter but there was no dipstick attached....

I have since figured out why it happened mycover gasket must have leaked and filled my final full of water so it pushed the oil up into the clutches.

I got my 2010 stuck in a unusual position in january and left it sit until the weather broke. The front end was up and and it had a lean to the left. I got it out and started checking things out to do some spring cleaning and now the left side will not pull nor brake. I pulled the cover looked at th...
