To any of you guys that have gotten the RH removeable battery door for your 440 gas crawler or tractor, and are having problems fitting it, contact me. I think I have discovered one potential problem with the door. You can send me your old one, and if bad, the problem will be corrected or the door w...

I sell them if you are interested.

Bill,
Just checked the valve number before I got on here, they are the same. I talked to one guy this morning, and he did not have anything.
Lavoy

I do not believe that the valves are the same, but I could be wrong, parts book will tell you for sure. There were a lot of 1010's made with the dash valve, so it is doable, just need to find the valve and/or linkage laying around. I will make some inquiries and see if I can scare anyting up.
Lavoy

Okay, here's my two cents, and worth every nickle you paid for it. You are restoring a relatively rare crawler. Spend some time lookinf for a dual valve and linkage from an early crawler and see what you find.

Correct hoe would a #50 or #51. I doubt you will ever find the mounthing brackets and all of the other assorted pieces that go along with putting one of them on a 420. Even if you did, you would hate it. A 440 is unstable at best with a hoe on it, and 420 would be almost scary, not to mention the in...

If it still has the original S series pistons, on a cold day it may never start without ether.
A little bit of water in the pan did not hurt anything cranking it over.

No they don't, the trackframe is different.

If the steel discs are just surface rusted and are structurally sound, you can get away with reusing them.
The fiber discs when wet "grow" in size and there is no fix for that.
Lavoy

Unless you like pulling final drives, replace them. I know I know, I sell clutch discs, but nonetheless, for the effort involved, it is not worth having to redo it. If they have been that wet, they are damaged at least to some extent. Picture hosting instructions are listed at the top of the show an...

Been a while, but I know there is a set screw that comes into play somehow. Double check your service manual.
Lavoy

I am still on the road, give me a call next week.
Lavoy

I don't recognize it, especially the -3 on the end.
Lavoy

Seems to me about 3 ohms, but could be wrong. It goes in the hot wire to the coil. A Chrysler ballast resistor should work.
Lavoy

I should have rockershaft, would need to check.
Rebuild kit will vary depending on how deep you want to get.
