Not a very hard conversion, I'm not familiar with the 440 controls so I can say how hard it would be to make a joystick configuration for your existing valve. but mounting a new valve is not hard, find a way to bolt it to the machine and hook up your hoses, done. Here are two valve, first is higher ...

At a garage I used to work in we regularly substituted brake cleaner for either, mostly trying to get them hateful mercedies benz engines to pick up there fuel after a service. we found the brake less sharp then either for the engine to run on, still had that distinctive sound of a diesel on either ...

Lots of snow up this way! spent all day moving snow around my yard and retrieving my jeep and dump trailer that got snowed in during a snow fall we had a 2 weeks ago. the jeep was snowed in up to the doors and completly drifted in underneath. And of course the 420 is at my cabin with no engine in it...

A buddy of mine has a 2-53 in a welding machine , his does the same thing , starts like a camp but one cylinder hesitates and takes a second or two to pick up. he rebuilt the engine in it when he got it and he's after changing the injector's , lift pump etc with no luck on it firing on 2 cyl's on st...

my buddy put his 350B disk's on his BBQ to burn off the oil, worked fine for him but his disk's were the metallic ones, not sure how our fiber disk's will hold up to the the BBQ.

you could do what I do with dirty diesel fuel, while I was working at a truck shop that done fuel trucks when ever we had to change a pipe or a pump or whatever we had to drain the system which resulted in a tub of diesel fuel full of dirt becasue there was no actual drain point just unbolt a coupli...

good to see another member from the big land! good eye on the track, not sure how I never noticed it on mine but yet I noticed it on my buddys 40c the other day. I know bob quite well along with his 1010, I used to work for him at the rad shop back in 09/10. as for crawlers around here there is bobs...

found the measurement in my book after, its .003-.007" of end play. so I guess I need new bearings to!

well I dug a bit deeper into the engine and usual its resulting in me having to dig deeper into my wallet when it comes time to order parts! carb was filthy http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/562930_10150964543431946_2075432918_n.jpg load needle was soldered back together at some point. ...

The one without the ring gear is coming off and the one with the ring is going on. if you look you will notice that the one on the engine is thinner becasue the back shoulder was machined off so there was less weight when it was on the lister.

well I visited my buddy and got some of the original parts for the dozer, still need to see if he has the air cleaner , starter rod , and the hydraulic piping. http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/431550_10150964141056946_1617919277_n.jpg http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-...

Thanks lavoy, There is not many of my generation that has an interest in equipment let alone the energy to actually work on it. tv's and computers are the thing these days. the hough did have a flat head waukasha and all indicators point to it being a HA, it now has a Isuzu C201 diesel from a thermo...

You have a good eye! yes it has wooden sliders and indeed has a carco winch. I'm thinking it was used mostly for snow, my buddy owned it the last 2 years and he used it all winter long plowing snow. not much mind you he only did his driveway with it which is only big enough for maybe 4 pickups. I wi...
