JDcrawlers Messageboard

Lavoy, when you were plowing with the 2 bottom was it a 2-14 and did you crush the furrow. Also was the 3 bottom a 3-12? I gont think an MC would pull a 3-14 would it? Another thought I has was how does a Crawler with a 3 point fit into all of this? Could you plow on land using a 3 point plow? It do...

I have my hitch slid all the way over, it is over to the point where it throws the draft of the plow off. I plow with a jd 2-14 plow and that is all that it wants. some people think that I should try a jd 3-12 plow but I am not sure that I could handle it with my mc. I still am not sure if a mc2 plo...

stan do you know what models of john deere plows were made for the crawler then besides the the ones that fit on the tool carrier? I am thinking more of a pull type plow. I cant think of a john deere model that is offset

Does anyone know if you plow with your MC on land or in furrow? I have a John Deere 2-14 pull type plow that I moved the hitch over so that I could plow on land. It really messed up the draft on the plow and I couldn't get the hitched moved over far enough so that I could be far enough away from the...

do you know were you can get this book and is that the title of the book? i would love to get my hands on a copy of that book

lavory i am but not at this time. my wife says that we need money so i gotta sell so stuff once we get some funds back i will look u up

I am selling my 420 with the number 61 blade. Pm me if you want to see pictures. I can deliver for a fee if need be. It is a good running crawler

I am selling my 420. It has a jd number 61 blade on it. Let me know if you are interested

so are the chains junk if they are that bad? the chain links on my 40c are tapered like that almost up into the pin. I dont understand what causes this? all of the rollers turn and look good. what goes bad on the rollers that cause this problem??

1010 rails, rails height is good, some pin boss wear might indicate worn rollers. Reverser lever gone often times but not always indicates the reverser has been removed. Assume the worst case scenario, then you won't be disappointed when it isn't as good, and pleasantly suprised if it is better. My...

sorry lavory i cant describe what i am seeing very well i will try to post a picture. what do you need to look for other than the obvious bearings and chuncks on rollers. ao what about the rail what do you look for??? I also bid up an mc with tool carrier that the motor was locked up to 4300 dollars...

what i mean is that the bottom of the link is worn not from the bushing but the bottom is worn. i have seen several this way. the wear is so bad at times that the side of the link is worn into the bushing and pin

so lavory what is your opinion on the worn links that i have described on my last post?? also i am sorry for being so annoying with all of these questions, but i want to get this right so my question is can the 420 pads go on the 40 chain or was a 40 suppose to have the thinner steel pads that came ...

so is it ok that that some of the mc's that i have seen have the heavier chains on them which are the same ones that i see on my 420 and 40? is it also ok to put the heavier pads on the mc and 40. the ones on my mc are worn and you can tell have cracked and have been welded. will it hurt anything to...

ok so i have looked at several crawlers and actually own 3 myself, and am still confused about one thing.... Why is it that some of the mc's have the smaller chains on them with the thinner steel pads and some have the heavier chain with the heavier pads. i was under the impression that the 40c and ...
