The northern dry clutch machines were filling up with moisture at a rate that was wrecking the machines .With condensation / cooler weather and high humidity working against them as well as International and Cat having new oil bath clutchs putting Deere on the looseing end this is when my dad got th...

I only purchace the new Deere track with that sprayed on metal it realy works we average 1500 to 2000 extra hours on a set of tracks But if I was refitting an older Deere then I would consider hours of intended use and cost of the tracks as many do with older machines .You have to justify dollars sp...

If you aren't putting big hours or working in rough conditions then the old unsealed track is just fine .If you want toget resale on a newer machine than sealed and lubed is the way to go .If you can listen to it there is not that much difference in the sound of sealed after listening to the machine...

There is garbage chain out there that is for shure .I can get a deal on some right now that is specked imperial mesurement when the contractor I know recived it It was just junk metric sizeing and verry little hard faceing on chains or bushings plus poor pin and bushing sizeing .From what I heard so...

Deere needs something for the new machines that will stay longer I have had several machines rollers leak through the seals with less than 100 hours the first ones went If you look at the photo of my 450J that was two years ago .It was leaking on the second roller back as we ran it It had less than ...

I had one of those apart one time and it had a spring on one side with none on the other .And it worked well in the steering department at the time .As for the clutch pack my Dad was great for if he had enough extra space he would put an extra steel face in the clutch .Might not be right but it work...

I have never bought new chains without new grousers attached .It is cheaper than buying bolts and torquing them down to speck .I know that the dollars seem more but in the end you will be up some $ and you will like the new grousers more than your old welded up ones .As a contractor I look at it dif...

I have found that corn head grease is good in warm weather but useing it in the cold weather and moisture or water just dispurses it easy .As with most greases when they fit the bill for one job they lose it some place else .I think I have found the perfict grease but it was way beond the perfict pr...

This is almost always a sign of the Clutch plates sliping If your oil pressure is up them the clutch is wore out watch it close but it is the best news I can give you .Digitup.

If you are good with a welder you can make your own muffler I made two for my HD21B Allis's stock they only have a 5 inch straight pipe straight out of the turbo into a 90 degree elbow and out the stack They are a lot quieter when you sit on the old beasts all day at full throttle pullin in tile it ...

I have found that if I were to find oil impregnated into dry clutch packs I would take the time and replace the oil soaked faces they tend to swell with oil and when they heat up next time they just slip over again when they slip they heat and more oil is swetted out to the surface and the situation...

You could have a drive clutch going out of it ,Check to see if your drive clutch is leting go and then check your power shift pressure .Digitup.

yes flip the ring gear if you do have a chance to split it 310s'310As and 410s are not that difficult to split.Shure start nice for years after too.Digitup.

I think the Deeres of that erra were just too small as you have mentioned but in northern Ontario I know that they were loved and purchased by the dozens .The job they did was to pull sleighs that were origonaly horse drawn and at that time they could even pull two that is twice the capacity .An old...

look into the break bands at that point .It is usualy a good indication that the band pad is woren out and only grabing in the lesser used direction .Digitup.
