Lavoy, so it would be a better idea to put one on the 420 5 roller that I just picked up? Its the one that I talked to
you about earlier in the week. what if I counterweighted it? Or would that be to hard on the undercarriage? And how can you tell the idler difference? Thanks Tim

I'm looking for a complete loader attachment for a 1956 420C, 4 roller. I'm in southwest PA. Let me know what you have. Thanks Tim

Will a front loader off of a mc fit and work on a 420c?

Hanson/Irwin tools makes a set of both internal and external screw/bolt extractors. I have used both on many occasions although some heat may be required. They will grab the outside of the plug or the inside where the square inset is.

Finally got the motor all rebuilt and took it out to play and noticed that the right drive doesn't seem as strong as the left one. Is there any adjustments that I could be missing in the finals(I checked the clearance between the bearing and the clutch fingers)? Or am I going to be needing some new ...

Does anyone have the head bolt torque sequence and values? Thanks in advance.

By the looks of the switch its one of the extremely rare, possibly one of a kind, 110 volt models.

What are the number of links/pads that the tracks should have on a 4 roller versus a 5 roller?

Does anyone know if there are parts available to build one or does anybody have one they would be willing to part with?

And where is a good place to get a service manual for the crawler? I have the parts manual already.

Well from lurking on here for a little bit you seem a bit more than reputable. What is the best way to get in contact with you?

Well I bought my first crawler and got it home to find it has a spun rod bearing. I was going to rebuild the bottom end of the engine but I'm having a hard time finding parts. As it looks to me the crank needs turned as well as the rods. While I have it apart I was going to put a new clutch disk in ...

Tried it with the clutch in and out, trans in neutral, there is no reverser, no difference, same problem. Thanks for the reply! If anyone else has any ideas let me know.
