I'm sitting right next to it.

Was off a bit on the #. It's not 118 and change.


119629 is the serial number.


So if I redrain all the fluid out of both I'm safe to add 10 qts of GL5 80W90?

Does anyone know how much gear oil the tranny holds?


I drained the tranny & rear end awhile back, put 7 quarts in the tranny (thinking it would run into the rear end also) and want to make sure I got it right before I start it and screw up something.

I have new upper idler shafts on hand, might have a used end cap as well. You should have a couple more boxes of stuff showing up this week. Lavoy Put my name on them please. Go to your show and when you get back send me an E-mail and I'll transfer the $$ so you can ship. Thanks again for all your ...

When I disassembled the final drives I failed to notice that the lock tabs on the washer that go on the end of the axle (inboard side of course/ two 1/2' bolts) were missing. This thing has been apart a few times in it's life it seems and they are all broke off. Can I use Blue loctite in it's place ...

Will they fit my 420?


Could you E-mail me the info & price please?


Never know, My finances might change tomorrow.

Thank you.

Some dummy (me) thought he could fix this worn shaft. Im in need of a used one.



Also a used endcap for the roller please.

http://i904.photobucket.com/albums/ac245/TopGunIsMe/0610002054.jpg I was contemplating replacing these bolts. Instead I bought a 1" die and chased the threads. had to cut the old nuts off as they were very stubborn. Threads are all fixed and have 25 new nuts now. (spares are alwats good. LOL!!! ) h...

Yes you can remove a link and shorten the track. You do so with the assumption that you are running your undercarriage to destruction, and have no plans on trying to rebuild in the future. I would use Grade 5 threaded rod, not grade 2, but you can do it. Lavoy The undercarriage will be all good whe...

A couple of questions. My tracks are worn pretty bad, basically adjusted all the way to the end. Is it possible to remove a link and just shorten the adjuster? Also as far as replacing the adjuster bolts, can I use common 1" threaded rod and make new ones or should I use hardened threaded rod or jus...

After I bead blasted all the usable parts in the steering clutches I decided to paint the yellow stripe on the hood and front nose. Only took about 10 minutes to pull the nosepiece back off. I covered the crawler with old blankets & bedspreads and bead blasted the right side track frame. (What a mes...
