Hope you all have a great day!

Thanks Paul. Looks like I will have to do all of what you did on the left side.

Thanks Lavoy,

It is an early model but the undercarriage has been replaced and is in nearly new condition. I think I did see one pin that had a small dimple in it, i'll look again this week if I can get home before the sun sets.

Thanks Mark, I'm familiar with your series ( it's really good) but I hadn't looked at it from the master link point of view. I'll go look at it. I had kind of resigned my self to derailing the track the way you did. I just need a bit more time. I looked at the garage of the place i just bought and i...

I was looking at the left track on my 2010 today because I know I am going to have to replace the clutch pack on that side. I do not see a master pin in the track at all. The other side is obvious, there's a bolt in it. However, all the pins are identical on the left side, inside and out. I do not s...

How is it independant of the backhoe? The same pump runs pressure to both. The power beyond lines to the backhoe need to allow flow through them for the pump to work. I have experienced the couplings looking right but not being fully locked so there was no flow through them and it was clear somethin...

I believe that lever is used to disengage for a really cold start - or so I have been told.

My hydraulic tank has a drain at the back just over the track, really hard place to get a funnel in. i need to change mine for the same reason and I know it's going to get messy.

If you disconnect the fuel line at the carb do you get plenty of fuel flowing through it? That's the last fuel thing that would be a problem otherwise sounds like it's not firing at the right point and you will need to go through the timing and ignition. The ignition module may have gone bad. The or...

Do it warm so all the junk is suspended in the oil. Raise the blade all the way and then drain, once it is mostly drained, lower the blade to get the rest out. Some oil is always left in the system unless you remove all the lines which is a little excessive

It sounds more like an ignition/ timing problem to me. Just to be sure, the float bowl in the carb is full each time you have pulled it off right? I actually had a similar problem with an IH 300 tractor and it was actually a little dirt right at the needle valve in the float bowl. It let the bowl fi...

Your right, I thought about and decided I have too many projects and could put the money elsewhere and it would be better spent.

The Crawler was stripped and painted about 4 years ago. It's in pretty good shape. The hobbs meter isn't working and hasn't for a very long time but it has had light use for the last 30 years, back grading a beach for 23 of them and occasional use a few times a year for the last 7. The backhoe sat o...

That makes sense. Thanks!
