Re: Connecting the tracks together

Play in the bushings is the internal wear and will exist in every pin/bushing interface of the chain. Your concern in installing the master pin is more fit in the chain link pin boss, as they should be a slight interference fit. What is the clearance between the pin and the hole it goes into of the ...

Re: 350 Engine oil

Known brand 15W/40 diesel oil in all but the cars, pick ups, and small engines. I know some fleets run 15W/40 in everything with no issues.

Re: Connecting the tracks together

Actually measure the pin hole in the chain rail, the dimension might reveal a clue. I wonder if some one has put 350 chains on your 440IC, those pins are larger OD. Are there any signs of welding on the sprockets?

Re: diesel return line is plumbed straight from injector pump-tank

Good morning and welcome to the board. It would help answer your question(s) if you include the model of your machine. A 1968 JD crawler loader could be a 350 or a 450, and there are some differences that will come into play for at least some things. In this case both were plumbed from the injection...

Re: 450E long track

Welcome to the board. Just a housekeeping item. Posts about 350 machines and newer, like your 450E, should be on the Late Model Board to get best exposure, as technically there are a lot of drive train differences. This post will likely get moved over there when Lavoy, or a moderator, see it. No har...

Re: John Deere 420c steering clutch slipping issues

Lavoy may have a different thought on this but the way I read the bulletin is the gauge was intended for adjustment after replacing components. If it was adjusted when the clutch pack is originally assembled that adjustment should be good for the life of the components. I am thinking you should have...

Re: 1010 backhoe buck tooth shank

That should work. Have you checked your local equipment dealers and rental houses? They may have one on the shelf. Cost wise it might be a wash if you don't have to pay any shipping.

Re: zenith 14997 carb

Have you tried contacting the vendor you bought it from for the instructions? Searching on line it looks like the 14997 is a 267 series carb. This sheet may help you: https://www.steinertractor.com/pdfs/ABC232.pdf No guarantee it's right.

Re: 1010 backhoe buck tooth shank

Good evening Bret, Are you looking for one shank to match what you have for teeth, or are you looking for a full set with teeth you can replace? Over the years, and even now, there were/are a number of shank and tooth combinations used during the same time periods. If you are trying to match one to ...

Re: Is there an easy way to time balance shafts from underneath?

The lobes of both balance shafts will be up or down at the same time. If the right side balance shaft is such that the lobe is out, flat face in and vertical, the left shaft lobe should be out and the flat face in and vertical.

Re: 350B reverser control stuck in neutral

Welcome to the Board. Not a serious thing but your 350B questions should be on the Late Model Board, so don't be surprised to find it has been moved over there. Without seeing it, I would say rust has gotten to your linkage if the lever doesn't wiggle. I would start by following the linkage and see ...

Re: 2001 455G Transmission input shaft

Welcome to the board. With a 450G you are on the new end of most equipment discussed here. Do you have the technical manual set (TM1403 and TM1404) for your machine? There may be info on doing this in them. Looking at the on-line parts catalog, I did find a short shaft in the transverse case, called...

Re: 450E Transmission

I will say no, the clutch pack will not come out without removing something, as the front quill has to come out to remove the clutch pack. The technical manual removes the HLR transmission, differential, and final drives as an assembly, I would expect removing the engine would work as well. What are...
