Lavoy, Yes I do have counterweights even though they werent on it when I got it.I found a set locally. I dont have a photobucket account, but if you go to youtube -"Pushing dirt in Americas hometown" and "Still pushing dirt in americas hometown" you can see that while building my daughter a house in...

Lavoy, After a short hiatus, I have been reunited with the 440ICD I traded away a year ago. I had gotten frustrated with it as I kept throwing the tracks even after busting my butt on new clutches, bearings and seals in both Final Drives and putting on new JD 350 sprockets (re-rimmed to my old 440 c...

Lavoy,
I need a set of rock Guards for the bottom rollers of my 440. I have located a pair on a 350 as well as another pair on a 1010. Will these fit on my machine?
Thanks for all you do on this site.
Dale

Lavoy,
Hmmmm difficult choice...pull the final or back off on the brake adjusting nut...guess which one I'm going to do.
Ironically it was this same brake adjusting nut on the brake band that was broken and got me into this project initially!

Thank you for the advise. It is appreciated

Hey Lavoy, Please tell me what I need to do next. Installed all your steering Discs, Pressure Plates , Throw out Bearings etc. JD Dealer helped me with setting preload on new bearings seals etc. in both Final Drives. All back together and both sides adjusted the same....Now when I engage the left st...

Hello to all and many, many thanks to Lavoy for this site and all the technical help as well as all the parts he has sent from the West Coast to the East Coast of Cape Cod to get this ole girl clattering once again. Dont know what it is that makes a 54 year old man as giddy as a kid in a candy store...

Thanks so much for the info ......I will try both of these sites. Thanks Lavoy for this site!

Hello to all. Already checked with Lavoy and he doesnt have any. Does anyone out here have a good used right idler bracket? Getting itchy to play in the dirt, but I wont put this old one back on. Any help or leads would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks Lavoy for the info on this part being adapted to my unit. You hit the nail on the head as I do have the 831 Loader on it. For the information of all on the site the 3 pt is on e-bay. It started at 250.00 and is now at $760.00. Its item # 260225162701 if interested.

Looking for advise on how much is involved in fitting a 3pt hitch, for sale locally, to my 440. I've seen some pictures and the back end looks like a plate of spaghetti with all the hoses etc. Is my unit set up for this accessory? What else may I need? I want to put some weight back there and a 3pt ...

Once again I thank you Lavoy for your comprehensive response to my situation on the issue of 350 chains fitting my 440. Your response leads me to ask, will his 350 sprockets bolt on to the 440? If not where do I go next to inquire about re-rimming my sprockets with the 350 rim? I will be calling you...

Thankyou Lavoy for answering my question on the hollow pins in the Final drive and Drawbar unit....just like you said...I pried the housing apart with a chisel and it came out fine. One more question if I might, I have a chance to pick up a used set of chains and street pads for my 440 from a 350......

Hello, my question is...is it absolutely critical to remove the two hollow dowel pins that go between the final drive unit and the drawbar? Thats the last thing I have to do before attempting removal and I was wondering if it will hold me up. I cant get them to budge! I know you guys will steer me r...
