Warmer than usual weather continues here in the west.

Need to remove

Did you recheck the oil level after bleeding the air out?

50 degrees today. Good day to do a little dozing.

440ICD 602.

Wishing all a great New Year. May your John Deere crawler bring you much enjoyment.

Jumped the track

For someone that has a crawler loader a blade attachment would be a great attachment to have.

dtoots1 A 6 way blade is a big advantage if doing more than just pushing material. You could put a blade on your loader frame. This picture shows my 440IC 831. It has a fork lift attatcment that has the manual 6 way blade from a model 63 dozer adapted to it. http://jdcrawlers.lcent.com:8000/johndeer...

“ Where did you tap into the coolant for the return?“ old dutchman There was a tank heater available as an option from John Deere. Electric or LP gas.

Thanks Leonard A bearcat is a good description. I put the job off for a few months thinking I had to remove the boom. I finally looked in the 410 shop manual and found out it could be removed and leave the boom on. The shop manual had helpful disassembly and assembly info. The outrigger hydraulic cy...

The swing cylinder on my John Deere 410 backhoe was leaking around 1 gallon of hydraulic oil an hour. It was time to reseal it. This uses the round rotary swing cylinder that is also used on some 350,450 and other crawlers with a backhoe. I only took a few pictures but thought it might help someone ...

Most of the time when I have something heavy to lift I use my John Deere 410. This time it was part of the 410 so the 440 crawler loader was put to work.

Most of today’s young people never get a chance to operate any equipment. Even with all of the advances In technology we will still need new operators in the future. Plant the seeds early.

I don’t think my grand kids “like” the dirt but are ok with it. When we are done their parents want them in the shower first thing.
When they come to visit without mom and dad we have different rules. More than anything they like to go fishing. I am ok with that.
