Looking there right now.
Thanks
Duke

I am looking for the specs on the pins and bushings for the 440 crawler.
Found someone who would like to quote making several sets.

Thanks
Duke

All my diesels have 15/40 synthetic.

Duke

I know of 4 430IC not far from me waiting to be resurrected.
If I had the coin I would scoop them up.
The 5th one is original with full 3 point!

Duke

Yup new weather site!!
Snow here and more lake effect snow.
Got to go plow out.

Duke

We had 8-10 inches a week ago. Last few days it all melted from 60+ degrees and 2" of rain. Now its back to 20 deg and snowing hard. West Michigan lake effect snow.

Duke

Storm prediction center is saying we will be getting feet of snow!!
440IC is ready.
Bring it!

Duke

Sounds like a faulty coil to me.

Duke

Describe in detail how it runs.

Duke

May be simple as a head gasket.
Was it motor oil or diesel fuel?
Undercarriage is critical as well.

Duke

I usually pull the battery if the machine is going to sit for 6 months or more.
I am fortunate to have a heated shop to store them in.

Did you try to charge a 6V or a 12V?

Duke

I prefer leaving them 6V.
Works great!

I have one crawler that doesn't charge either.
I have started it several time since charging. Even last week when it was -7F and stared right up!

Duke

Just enjoyed 2 hours of pushing snow.
440IC with original 6V. Starts like a dream even at -5 earlier this week.
3 year old battery.

I am looking south as far as Kentucky for hay.
I pray we get some rain this coming season.

Duke

Tell you what....
I will trade you a truck load of hay for a load of snow

Duke

Time to clear the driveways.
We have close to 12" in the last week.
