I have 2 440's If one sells I want to keep the other one. One is a 440icd that the tranny has been loose for a while and didn't have time to fix it and something let go and I think it was in the reverser. It will not move and coudn't shift the reverser any more. Has good undercarrage rops winch and ...

I have a winch with a log arch on the back of a 440 icd that has an issue with the reverser won't move at all have another tranny reverser housing and the shaft that goes all the way through that would go with it the clutches would need replaced also they where getting weak. Would take $2500 for eve...

did you take out the grease fitting. It lets it collaspe better then the bolt

There are some pictures in show and tell towards the bottom of the page.
Also there is a book John Deere model mc TRACK-TYPE TRACTOR That shows 15 different attachments for the rear plus the blade for the front that turns into a scraper for the back. a really neat book.

They diffinetly have one nice steam show at Charm that is a beatiful valley with the smoke coming out of the steam engines only been there once to. If you haven't been to that show you need to go to it to. They also have some nice bed and breakfast up in that area.

If your going to use it then the blade you have on the dozer is much stronger if you just want to show and have fun then the 1000 tool bar with the blade is really neat if you can find one it can also be turned around and implements put on the back the mc and early 40 could have had either blade

Maybe someone put the small spacer on the same side as the large spacer

The museum is right as you get off the free way for dover if your heading north you turn right and it is on the right. Boy I can't beleive you live that close to it and havn't heard of it. It is a must see place. I wanted to take the wife up there for our aniversery but don't think it wil work out. ...

I don't think belting would do much for 43 ton wow

If I ever get up to the Warthers wood carving museum again I see your right down the road from there might have to slip over for a visit. I was there for the first time last Feb. only had 2 hours to go through the place and it literly blew my mind what that man did. You also have a nice show in Dove...

also you can look around for some old belting works good easy to handle I was lucky to find some at an old lazurus store downtown Cols. that wen out of business what they where doing with it I have no idea only payed $20 for 100' of it

is there any possibility that you left the switch on that could have burned the points

no everything seems to work all right just don't want to do any damage or being to light and letting it slip I think it will be all right just where they where not getting a good snap. I think this is where a lot of reversers get ruined by not taking the truoble to ajust them till they go bad. I thi...

My reverser went into reverse with about 10 pds. of pressure and went into foward with about 15 to 20. It seems that when I ajusted it it was either going to be a light 25pds or the next notch was close to 40 pds. I left them at close to 40 pds. the book recomends 25 to 35. Just curious if I should ...

I'm finding some of the lock tabs are breaking and letting the bolts come out and the axle to slide out. I just repaired one that this happened to thought I would take one off a final I had laying around took the cap off and it had broke to and the bolts where backing out. Used the finger gauge for ...
