MC Blade

I have a MC that I bought with a new idea high lift blade. It's worn out and would rather have a dozer blade on it. There are no mc close by to my knowledge for a pattern to build the frame work. Can I copy a 420 and that would get me close enough to what I would want? Thanks for any input. Mike T

I would of maybe been ahead if I would of bought one for 4000 and maybe not if the the clutches and brakes were out and the head...

There should be a hole that a roll pin would fit in or a roll pin punch to hold shaft.....be carefull not to break the punch or the flat washer when you retighten.

MC Track

What is the number in inches for worn out pins and bushings on 5 tracks on the mc?

Are there rubber tracks that will fit on a mc? Would they be cheaper than redoing a set of steal tracks?

Thanks

those heads should interchange. Check and make sure cast # are the same.
