For providing the Craigslist link.

I have a 440ic gas with a 6-way blade for sale. SN:442495. If interested, please go to Craigslist in Boise, Idaho (sqmbd-4164149596@sale.craigslist.org) for information and pictures. If you have questions or problems locating the listing, give me a call at (208) 343-1661...Thanks for looking. Charles

Only links would be used, nothing new unless Deere has some pieces left. Last I know, they were over $100 per half. I am still working on pins and bushings, preliminary work is done, now just haggling on price and some small details. If you are going to take an individual link out of the middle of ...

Thanks Tigerhaze....they didn't have anything.

Have never worked on a 440, so this may not be of any help. But, I did the exact same thing as you (broke a chain link) earlier this year on my 350. A previous owner had broken the link and attempted to weld the two pieces back together. It held for a short time and then it snapped. Of course I did...

First, I want to thank everyone on this message board for the help you have given me.(not directly, but by reading the information provided.) My tracks were VERY worn on my 420C five roller. (measured about 24.25"). My last project this summer caused the bushings to wear through. Since the cost of ...

I have two broken links on my 440 so I am interested in what you ended up doing? Were you able to find any used links to replace the broken one?

I am thinking of looping a strong chain through the mud holes on the track after I pull the ends together with a come along....what do you think?

Thanks for your response....I have two broken track links actually. Interestingly enough, one of the undersides of both links had been broken for who knows how long (they were rusty and worn where the breaks were), so I had perhaps been using the dozer for a considerable time before the opposite sid...

Lavoy....I had two links on my 440 crawler break yesterday. Have you been able to locate track links, pins and bushings for these treads and how much will they cost me? If I pound out the old pins and bushings, is there any problem with my re-using them with new track links? Is it just a matter of h...

Thanks so much everyone for your advice and suggestions. It finally turned out that the screw that adjusts the point opening/closing was loose and in moving a tiny bit back/forth would cause the engine to die. Don't quite know why it would start again for a bit, but oh well...good to have that fixed...

My engine starts easily and runs fine for very short time and then abruptly dies. When I try to start it, it fires but dies. Doesn't seem like a carburation problem as it dies very abruptly. Gas flows freely out of the fuel filter when I disconnect the fuel line. Just had shop put in new points. Cou...

THX for the information Lavoy. The serial number for my 440ic is 442495 so my tranny drain would be on the belly more or less under the left footrest area and the fill port would be under the right footrest if I understood your reply correctly. Do you normally have to remove the right footrest to fi...

Can someone tell me where the transmission filler and drain locations are? Do I have to take off footrests or the skidplate to access them? Also, is there a dip stick or other mechanism to determine the level of lubricant in the tranny?
