JDcrawlers Messageboard

I am guessing you are talking about the inboard bearing on the axle shaft. the cap is visible when you are under the crawler. I can't say for sure if you can get it off in place and then make the adjustment or not. I will say you are there, hands on, to try it if you want. If it doesn't work out you...

Yes, your crawler is a 1967 build by that number. Machine serial number tag breakdown using the 350 Introduction from the JD parts Catalog: SN = serial number T = Tractor 4 = JD350 E = Crawler - Loader 3 = Diesel D = (Transmission) Sliding Gear with Reverser Serial number: 047766 (This number falls ...

I don't think you have found the serial number tag for the crawler. Does your 350 have a loader on it? The numbers you posted look more like the loader model numbers. 7350 was the prefix number for 350 loaders and won't help with your crawler serial number, which is needed to find the right build ye...

If it is too tight it won't snap in either.

Yes

If you have the manual on the reverser for your overhaul, that info and the adjustment procedure should be in it. It should take 25 to 35 pounds of force to "snap" the lever into forward or reverse. If you don't have a manual you can go to https://techpubs.deere.com/ and get a free copy of the 430 o...

Welcome to the Board.

Thanks for passing the info on, definitely something to be considered if a winch is giving a problem.

I agree with 77 Ford on the tracks and undercarriage. If he has not done undercarriage work in the 7 years he has had it, it certainly has not gotten better, so even if 70% then it is less than 70% of new, or more than 70% worn now. I am guessing the 70% listed for the auction was a guess/wishful th...

Welcome to the Board. I agree with Al on his points. Have you operated it yourself? (Are you familiar with operating heavy equipment, so you have a feeling for its performance?) The serial number can put you on, or close to the year, it was built. There is a serial number list for 750s on the FAQ Bo...

As I posted before for you. The liners have to be pulled to change the O-rings and packings (JD calls them washers). To pull the liners you have to pull the pistons out of them. The block and liners need to be inspected and cleaned before reassembly. I don't see how that could be done by just raisin...

If you have service manual SM 2023 the rod shows, but is not called out as such, on the first page of the reverser section. It runs close under the shifter housing of the reverser. I can't say on a 440IC, but on my 430 I could see and adjust it from the top. I do have a couple short wrenches I used ...

I would recommend buying only the proper O-ring seals for the engine (and installation lube), not trying to get them from a place with run of the mill stock O-rings on a shelf. You can drop the pan, pressurize the radiator and lay under it and watch for leaks. You may need to let it set a while befo...

Yes, they often get water in them from condensation (a common cause as dtoots1 posted) along with infiltration around gaskets and covers. Sometimes when oil is added it is contaminated. Buckets and drums setting outdoors will collect water, even if they are sealed, due to expansion and contraction. ...

Have you sent Lavoy a direct email (postmaster@jdcrawlers.com) or called him (701-361-1006) during central time zone business hours? I know he has posted before he has parts for them. He has also posted, in the past, he doesn't always catch things people mention in posts or get PMs, so he asked for ...

Does the hydraulic lift on the back of yours look similar to this one? You might have just the beam without the shanks(teeth). You should post a couple photos showing your complete machine
