Thanks for the info,looks like it will be a fairly cheap fix then since I already have a clutch,ordered the throwout and pilot bearing from the local dealer so should be able to get it all back together this weekend,thanks again

Could anyone tell me if the pressure plate for a m is the same as the one used for a 420,I have a spare for the m and looks to be the same as the 420 does,just want to make sure,(siezed throwout bearing wore the fingers)

Good luck and hope all's well ,we have all been there before

Good pics,any idea what the hoe alone weighs? I am putting a hoe off a Case 530CK tractor on mine,just hope it isn't too heavy,think it is around 2500lbs. All the sub frame is made up,similar to what yours is,all mounted off the crossbars and loader framework,all I have left to do is the lines,mine ...

I have a Henry loader also but I painted it Industrial yellow,the original colour would have been very close to IH red from what was left on mine,no lettering though, sorry

Henry was a aftermarket company that made different attachments for John Deere and probably others.That crossmember with the fill cap was broke right off on one end and welded back on out of place a real mess.I have a welding/machine shop so no big deal,the pins that the bucket arms attach to the lo...

Sounds like a Henry,I have the same,yes they are powerfull,I can tellby all the welds in mine from over the years.Does yours have any counterweights on the back,mine doesn't and is scary to use without,not nice having the sprockets 2' in the air.

Hey I remember my dad going there for parts,last time was in 02 I think too get a grill front for the 420 loader.Was not the first time he got parts there,can't rember all the stuff he got but I know steering clutch plates,hydraulic pump,hood,rollers,pinion shaft ,probably more ,I do remember him sa...

Nothing like a crawler in snow!!!I had my 420loader out around Christmas cleaning up packed snow in the driveways when I took a notion to head across the deep powder (about 2-3'),4th gear wide open ,just like driving on a cloud,ha,ha.Since then we had 2 big thaws and lost alot of the snow but now ga...

Amazing the power of these little crawlers,I remember my dad pulling a triaxle Kenworth stuck to the axles out with the 420,the ower of the truck couldn't believe it!!

Yup seen it too much myself also,around here it's called a 5 gallon overhaul.Long story short I have bought junk like this before (not a crawler) only to have it fall apart a week later,this is after working all summer when I was a kid saving up cash to buy it.Everything I own is fixed,rebuilt whate...

Yep had the same problem,I made up a sort of stepped washer to take up the wear in the hole in the side plate,then welded it to the plate ,I even had to re-tap the housing to the next size bolt cause of wear,boy was this old crawler used hard in its early years.

yes true there is enough welds on the loader from yrs of abuse and 500psi more will create problems again.I rebuilt all the cylinders using polypaks instead of the old leather type seals so I'm not to worried about the cylinders,rest of the loader might not take that much more.I did replace the spri...

I was wondering how to go about finding the correct pump.I see lots of pumps that are rated 3000 max rpm and 30-40gpm and 3000- 3650 psi,what would happen if I used one of these pumps?What I think I need is 2000 psi and 20gpm ,would these work at the lower rpm of 1500-1800 or do they need the 3000 r...

Straightened lots of them over the years just in a hydraulic press.Be sure to place alum. or brass blocks under and between the ram and the shaft.Place the blocks apart well if they have a curve to them,you will surprized how little pressure it takes to bend them back,just be carefull not to damage ...
