My MC hopefuly will be teared down tomarow and plan on using our local bearing company also. They saved me money on my ATV Hub. The finals I read on the site seem to be more on the left. I work on the hills with the left on the low side is the weight shift why the (L) goes more often? For those that...

The probluem I have with my goosekneck is that even thou I replaced all the hubs, bearings,backinging plates w/new shoes all 3 axles braking I still have house trailer axles & Tires. It is acutualy a homemade converted equitment trailer. For $500.00 I couldnt go wrong. My MC dosent weigh hardly anyt...

Thanks, I talked with the manger of our local spring shop and he knows the machin and says its in good shape. But is over my weight limit so will have to pass on it and go back to looking at a 350 with 6 way blade. thanks Mr. B Lorraine, NY

Allot of you guys and gals out there have a vast knowledge. My MC is laid up waiting to get fixed. I came across a forsale add fo a D4d with a 6 way blade. I have a tri axle goose kneck that can haul 5 tons. Any idea what a D4d weighs and at $8500.00 is there anything particle that they had trouble ...

With still 5 feet on Tug Hill I realy need to fix my final drive soon. Looking at a D4D wife said not this year.

Figures Breaking the Track was the easy part. Pulled the cap screws and gently tapped on sproket, looks to be siezed on the dowels. Used a little heat from the rose bud and tapped harder and still no give. Do I need to heat it cherry red and get out the big sledge?. Part of the Collar flange around ...

After some heavy rain last night hooked a chain to my big chevy 4X4. I have a 40' wide black top drive way. It rolled several feet and stopped but the grass and mud filled the tracs so at a idle she pulled all the way in front of the bay I needed. Started her and spun 90 degrees and drove rite in li...

Could of cried as I tried to nurse my dozer across the lawn into the garage to begin tear down on the worn final drive, locked it up. Sprocket shifted jumping trac. Thought all I had to do is lossen the adjuster to give free play. That only resulted in throwing the trac. First for me. After some swe...

I stand corrected, My MC was the third in the series before they switched to the 40, So that would be 1951. I have the soft ruffled screen in the front. Other than going thru allot of plugs have not had any major trouble with it. Up to 15 feet of snow in Lorraine, NY since Oct. and it is not letting...

I have a 1947, dont have the #'s written down in the house. I purchased the MC 4 years ago in Redfield NY. The previous owner had new tracks and rollers installed along with some clutch work. I dented the fragile front grille so built a brush gaurd for the front. I moved to Lorraine NY in 07 15 mile...

Hi My MC (L) side throw out brg was out of adjustment and caused the clutch to slipp. Depending on whats there A 1/2" crow foot wrench on a 8" extension you can back off the lock bolt and re adjust it. Having a manual would be your best bet. Been a monsoon season up North this year and the old girl ...

Thank You for your response. The model I looked I think is the ICD Serial #458?4 Hood was off due to a fuel leak repair. Unit is in rough shape compared to my MC. Owner said the blade needed welding. His friend was there to fix it but am concerd that the (L) frame rail was busted into where it hooks...

looking at a 440 2 cyl. gm diesel, what I know at this point is that the hood is off don't know why. Owner claims it runs good but steers only to the left believes the brake band broke. leaky seal on lift cyl. blade needs welding. May be able to traid my big boat even up so price is rite at this poi...

Yes, to the person who asked me if I lived in Lorraine, NY Rt 189. It is Ironic that I originaly bought the MC from down the road and she has made a circle and came back home. I thought hydraulic oil was probaly the same as 10 weight. I know some of the additives in the fancy stuff can eat seals. I ...

Have not been to the tractor store yet but all of my auto vendors do not carry straight 10W what the manuals says to use in the Hyd. resevoir. Is the standard hydralic fluid the same ? Thanks Adjusting the throw out bearing solved by MC week side, should of done that allot sooner. Thanks agin for al...
