Gentlemen, I have a 440IC crawler that has an M-S carb. It is stamped Marvel-Schebler on the rim where the upper and bowl come together. The only numbers on the carb is a "4G" stamped on the bottom, and a number "2" stamped on the side. My Dad had a few people work on her from time to time years ago...

My logger friends have told me to weld 3" pieces of 3/8" re-bar in a staggered position on the tracks, to keep from sliding on inclines. I plowed snow this winter an...

Thankyou both !

Hi folks, I'm very excited to be a part of this site, thank you all for your knowledge and patience. My Dad passed 3 years ago and I inherited his 1958 440IC crawler. Dad bought her back in the early 70's. We logged/cleared 60 acres of Louisiana swamp with the 440IC, along with a 1952 I.H. mdl. H tr...
