JDcrawlers Messageboard

I am looking for the 2 seals that fit in the groove that seals the three pieces together. I have ordered the 4 bearings and the o-ring but I can not locate the two large seal JD PN# T16572T. any help to locate or what material these are, or what size o-ring material I can use to make these with will...

I finally went to my local John Deere and purchased some new connecting rod bolts, and a friend and I made a new dipstick tube on his lathe at his house. What I need now is the plates and springs inside the oil filter assembly

I meant Connecting rod bolts and nuts.

Does anybody have any good condition 40 connecting rods for my pistons, and a dipstick and tube, and one straight push rod. I need these to finish my engine.

I tore my 1953 40C ser#60019 engine down and it had a bent push rod. so I bought 4 rods off of ebay, in the description it said they would fit a 40. The ones that came out of my 40C are about 1/4" longer and the top is bigger than the ones I purchased. Also my dipstick tube was rusted off at the eng...

Day late, and a dollar short the two crawlers are sold. I am looking on the forum somewhere somebody said that a 40C and the 1010 undercarriage is compatible. I only have one 1010 undercarriage but I have a 52MC that can use for extra parts for the 40C if I need them, so I may just push the 1010 in ...

Well I did what I should have done, by searching the number off the rear trans case, on Google #T13787T as seen in one of my pics. I found out it is for sure a 1010. Thanks everybody for the info.

Could somebody please tell me what I bought today. Here are some pics, I took this morning of supposedly of a John Deere 440C. and a blade that a friend of my Dads had in boat scrap yard. This was a parts crawler left over from a rebuild. He was going to sell it to a scrap guy to haul off, I ask wha...

Thanks Lavoy. My brother corrected me, he said my Dad built the trailer after he retired when was in his 60s. If I would have just done the math. Later

The story on the trailer was my Dad loaned me the trailer to go get the crawler, he had built it by himself in his spare time one summer. Once I got it to his house in the country, he ask me to leave on the trailer till I was ready to start the rebuild. Every time I ask about taking the crawler off ...

Well here is some pictures. of my project. The pictures of the crawler in the woods is where it was at when the owner finally agreed to trade it to me in the year 2000 When I first saw it about 1975 My Dad had done some field repairs just to keep it running to finish a pond the first owner was diggi...

Hey thanks for the tips. that's nice, Crawler and Jig, I did mean in inches, slight mistake by the hand. My trade background is in the Millwright trade or Outside Machinst but I repair and maintain Milling Machines and equipment used in the Aircraft Industry, using closer tolerance than inches. Sorr...
