I know I'm on the crawler site, but you fellows have a lot of talent. A 1965 model 3020 with the 24 volt generator system. Some one has installed what looks like a Delco SI10 alt. but has a tag "24Volt". The Alt. does not have a seperate "ground" terminal and from what I have read so far is ( Neg ) ...

Lavoy, have you received boots for the 440? Please let me know the cost.

Thanks, Magoo

Please tell me one more time! The first pump I reworked, the kit contain a "leather O ring" and a common O ring. The next kit only had the common O ring and a metal concave washer. Today, kit # AM1149T only has the metal concave washer. I ordered back-up washer # M1865 T whick only looks like a flat...

Lavoy, did you say you had something that would work on the 440?

Thanks,

Magoo

Did you say a while back you had a blade for a 40 or 440?
What part of the East Coast?

Magoo

I will try crawler haven, thanks for the reply.

I may have to use 1st gear and give her more RPM's.

Lavoy, I have the 5sp transmission on the 440, serial # 456482. (jumps out of 2nd gear) Am I reading the parts book correctly? It looks to me like earlier model gears will not work as replacements. I was wanting to replace the sliding gear and the drive gear for 2nd. Any other things to check before...

Will they work on the 440?

Magoo

My 420 block had the wrong plug with a lot of "glue" all around. I purchased the correct plug form Deere ($14.95) and now it leaks. I have removed the plug and was thinking about using JB Weld when I put it back in.

Please give me your ideas.

Thanks,

Magoo

Lavoy, as per my phone call, for the 420 below 80,000 and engine # A 9621, Main bearings .020" and Rod bearings .030.


Thanks,

Mike, I have one that I have not started work on. I found a 440 and have put the 40 on the back burner. It is a solid machine for a good start. It runs and steers. The tranmission sounds good. It does not jump out of gear. The sheet metal is Fair(rusty), It was missing the Nose, so I used one from a...

Twice I have had a flexable brake line act as a "one way " valve trapping the fluid - causing the brakes to drag.

Check the lines.

Don, I ran into the same problem, I just removed the first metal disk. The fingers adjusted fine. The dozer steers great.

Just my .02.

Hey guys, I changed all the oil in the 40C and then found the 440c. So, the 40 is parked under the barn. I noticed that transmission oil is leaking between the rt. clutching housing and bull gear housing. I checked the trans. oil and it is low. Would a bad Quill Seal leak when the machine is just si...
