JDcrawlers Messageboard

Thank you guys for replying. I guess I thought this was just a crawler site thing, so i didn't specify my tractor, It is just an old 1954 John Deere crawler, So,.....a John Deere 40 with tracks instead of wheels. Sorry about that. Pop Pop, if there are plugs under the seat, I will look for that, I d...

Hello, I haven't been here in a while, ....but I have a problem. So, I put my dozer in a situation I shouldn.t have................it was kinda wet.....I was grading my back yard........everything was going great, was back blading, & then........all hell broke loose. The dozer fell to the left side,...

Wow. Thank you, sir! You know, I have been on a few message boards.................& I can tell ya, you folks are actually pretty neat to be around. hell, the 914 Porsche board I tried gettin' help from was.........as you would guess, "kinda snotty".

Glad I found this place. I purchased a 1954 (I think) 4 roller 40 John Deere a couple weeks back.

I got it in the garage, adjusted the tracks, lashed the val...
