i agree with the others. it is the sprocket riding up on the chain. i had the same thing happen on a everything new undercarriage. undercarriage just not quite aligned enough and sprocket would ride up the chain and "snap" back on. just a few washers on the track carriage was enough to pull it back ...

it happened to me, the hydraulic line for the steering clutch blew. while your in there check it out.

need a block and head for a 420. anyone have any info on any other models that will work also?

check out the eastwood company. while i have not used the product, i know they supply it.

need a grill for a 1972 450c looked on Deere.com and they want over $300 for one! in their dreams! i`ll build one myself if nothing else. have not tried wengers as yet. Deere was the only place i`ve checked so far, but if anyone has a spare laying around, drop me a note.

Digitup, the boys with the most toys always wins! Dad made an offer of $9000 on it and it was accepted. gonna go pick it up today. Dad has never run a dozer with a 6 way blade, gonna get spoiled in a hurry! topped off the transmission and is working like its supposed to. we did not pull off the side...

was looking at a 1972 450c yesterday. lots of hours on machine, but has all new undercarriage, everything except front idlers and track adjusters have been replaced or rebuilt, including the chains. the one thing i`m wondering about is when shifting from low range to high, it may or may not work. se...
