drott was bought out by Case about 1985 i think. so all production was moved to Racine from Wausau Wi. who owns Case now i don't know. fishhawk

sounds to me like it might be one of the old oliver's fishhawk

old trick i have used is just stick in about a ounce of break fluid, swells the rubber in the seals. fishhawk

better still use some 50 weight oil and it may steer all by it's self!

lavoy could it have been a drott 4way bucket that has only the blade part left? fishhawk

well just my 4 cents (inflation you know) don't know how many times i have put in a new condenser and still have a bad condenser. bad condenser no spark! fishhawk

think the story about crop circle's will work? fishhawk

are the master pins for the 420 and the 440 the same? if so i got a master here from a 440 i can mic out. fishhawk

for some reason i don't think both tracks will fit in the jedda....maybe a VW rabbit would work! lavoys price for the track job is only about 50 bucks more than the price i got from florence track in florence wis.

so if there is just a shaft in there insted of a clutch pack are there still bearings that need lubing? i might be dumpung in oil for nothing!

by reversing i mean spooling and unspooling the cable on the drum

ok so there is something out there made for the 440. now next thing is where would i find one and any idea on cost? and could you describe the reversing prosses on one?

hey does any one out there know if there was a winch set up for the 440 crawler? if so where would i find one? hate to thing about getting this thing stuck in the muck and trying to get it out. thanks

i'm surprized they got a bucket for a smaller dozer like that wish i could get one like that for my 440 just for mucking out a small pond.

well no spark plugs to foul out on the diesle the blugs on my gas 440 last about 2 1/2 hours then they foul (yea it burns oil) but i think the gas will push at a lower RPM than the diesle will. just my 2 cents. fishhawk
