God idea Stan, I'm sure I have a few gauges somewhere, but I just moved, and finding anything in my barn right now is next to impossible. Lavoy, do you sell carb rebuild kits and card to manifold gaskets for these? If so I would like to get these and a gauge also. My petcock is leaking, and it needs...

As the clutch wears the fingers move CLOSER to the bearing so you have to move the bearing away from the clutch ...... as for oil pressure get a good gauge with NUMBERS and see just what the actual pressures are That's great news, if the clutch fingers were adjusted correctly, I guess my clutch dis...

I have a few questions maybe someone can help me out with, the crawler came with the original owners manual, so I have been reading that. When adjusting the throwout bearing position for the steering clutch, I adjust it just so it hits the fingers of the pressure plate, I have adjusted the throw out...

We would go to my cousins farm during the summer, and I always enjoyed that. These old machines are really co...

Well don't I feel silly now! I guess first dozer and seeing a youngster on it threw me off. My apologies Vetter for the misunderstanding of age, but I only meant encouraging words by what I said. Still, good for you for buying it. Farming, logging and fishing (at least here in Maine) are some of th...

Cutting edge, that's my son on the crawler, I did actually buy it for him to use around the farm, kind of a father son restoration project. Just wanted to clarify. I do have a steering clutch question. I tried adjusting the left side steering clutch today, because while my son was using the crawler ...

Thanks everyone.
I ordered some online, I called the JD dealer around here, and they had no idea what I was talking about?

New 40c. First crawler.

I think it's a 54, it runs really well, I was told someone just spent $4000 on the undercarriage, as well as it runs and drives I tend to believe someone spent some time and money on this. The only issue I have found so far, is the left hand steering needs some adjustment, it's really loose and you ...
