pto driven winch is what you want. you can adapt mounting for just about any winch, they're are plenty of them out there once you start looking. several here in my area, but shipping will eliminate those. i was going to do this, but in my searching, i actually found a gearmatic 8a on a junked crawle...

boy i can related to this, recently had a axle bearing to replace, son went to store and came back with an imported, "universal fit" bearing, :?: :roll: it lasted 1.5 miles. :evil: :evil: so he got another one, it lasted 2 miles. :evil: :evil: so i said, what gives? why cant you buy the OEM bearing!...

for what its worth, i saw these ads for rubber tracks and thought i would pass it on.

wow, you got it cheap, scrap iron brings more than that here. good luck, happy wrenching

saw this at the tractor dealer in Sholow Arizona, a jd350 loader with hoe, dont know the price.

roller flanges probably could be cut to a smaller diameter if they are smashing into the rail pin bosses.
might consider building up the inner roller dia. instead.
and yes the cylinder wont get pulled apart if the travel is limited, depends on how it is used. adds protection also.

its on one of those auction sites, a 440icd with loader,weights,
forgot to mention, there is also an MC and a 435 tractor , in case some 435 parts are needed.

has anyone seen a model 93 hoe attached to a 440? maybe too big? too heavy? considering doing this but the "breakage taboo" that i think i read on here has me thinking "no".

hello Bull Hill, well if you want to get into it cheap, you cant go wrong at $750.
you can always sell it for that if you change your mind later. have fun.

the sandhills are navigable,,, but if you got into the badlands,, your lucky to have gotten out. its a bermuda triangle , named badlands for many reasons. im just glad you made it out . i wouldnt go there and i'm from there, haha.

hey Racejason, that would work on sidehills as well, keeping the nose going uphill ,,,, might have to build one like that.
next will be DOZER RACING, just like the old lawnmowers, boy that sport really got big fast.

ok, i'm wondering why she was topless,,,,

not to be picking on dumb city gals BUT,,, :lol: :lol: in conversation we were talking about chicken and she mentioned that she was not sure what a live chicken looked like. So I told her it was a big fat bird with a little red comb on top of its head. She busted out laughing and accused me of lying...

yes that brings back memories ,and i was a young man back then and i still hated that unforgiving metal slapping my backside. come to think of it, i dont think anything had seatbelts, the newer tractors of about the mid 70's??? i think i remember belts on those. i suppose i would want the ability to...

i suppose too that seat belts will be a factor, any of you guys have seat belts on the old JD's?
