Thanks for sharing your experience with the Van Sickle paint. It'll be interesting to see if the JD paint performs any better.

Jimmy, Did you use their hardener/catalyst (7019)? I sprayed the front and rear wheels on my JD-2040 4 years ago with their 450 yellow and the catalyst. It's holding up pretty well w/o fade and still has pretty good gloss. Did you by chance use their CML-3004 yellow (pre 1992 JD industrial)? I was w...

Thanks Stan

Hi, Has anyone used Van Sickle or Tisco paint for a 440ic? On their website Van Sickle lists 6 different JD industrial yellow colors, and their CML-3004 is marked (pre-1992). My dozer has been repainted, probably many times, and looks much more yellow than what is shown on their website for the CML-...

Great, thanks Lavoy

Thanks Lavoy, that makes sense.

Should the flap be positioned above the choke shaft or below it?

Roger

I have a question about a 440ic carburetor that I hope someone can answer: Should the pressure relief valve be positioned in the upper or lower half of the choke valve? While rebuilding my tsx756 carburetor, I removed both the throttle and choke valve plates before reading SM-2024, where it recommen...

Thanks for your help guys.

Putting the two controllers/valves in series and adjusting the relief valves as Jim mentioned looks like a good solution if I can't locate the parts that will allow me to use my existing Gresen valve.

Roger

Lavoy mentioned that I would need to add a power beyond adapter to my two-spool Gresen valve in order to have this feature. Does anyone happen to have one of these? I'm also looking for a dual hydraulic lever set-up (handles, shafts, rods, etc.) for my 440 to upgrade from the single lever set-up tha...

Jim B, Thanks for pointing that out, I did use the power beyond port for the supply on my 2040 and a T-fitting for the return. I'm looking at the cut-away view of the 440 control valve on page180-15-4 of my service manual (SM-2023), and it shows a power beyond outlet. When I look at my controller th...

dtoots1, Thanks for the reply. Upon further investigation I found out that my problem isn't air in the lines. When I reconnect the fittings to only one controller at a time and isolate the circuits then both the front blade works, as before, and the ripper works as well. But when the circuits share ...

Hi, Is there a way to bleed the hydraulic system on a 440ic? I just put on a new hydraulic controller along with two new cylinders, lines, etc. for the rippers on my crawler. I filled up the reservoir and started it up but the cylinders on the front dozer blade and the rippers only move about 1/4 of...

OK, thanks Lavoy

Thanks Lavoy

Yes, the pump is mounted to the crankshaft in front of the engine. Are there any markings on the pump that would help determine which options it has?

Also, is there a service manual and an IPL that covers this pump?

Roger

Hi, I have a 440ic with a 602 dozer blade and a detachable Henry backhoe and it appears to have an OEM hydraulic pump. Did Deere offer standard pump size upgrades for the 440? The service manual says the stock pump is 8 gpm but the backhoe specs require a 15 to 20 gpm flowrate and the backhoe works ...
