My 420

Man ... I think my 420 took a hit in the storm. I'm not sure but I may not have had enough antifreeze and it froze. I should have time this week to examine it.

I'm Bummed!

Re: 430C 3 Point+blade

I am using the the original factory valve with a switch valve to go switch between the blade and 3 pt. I can put the valve about 1/2 and actually use the float function on the dozer blade and the ...

Battery tie down

Thank you Lavoy - will take that to heart! Better yet act on it.


I drilled a tiny hole in the top of the Chinese cap and it is not holding pressure any more. The hole is offset from the center of the cap so the fuel does not splash up. Seems to be good.

I put a new vented cap on it and though it says made in China it is functioning no better than the USA made one I had on it. It steadily builds pressure. There is no incorporated vent system on the t...
