Many of the reversers will have a howl to them, just like backing up a manual transmission car. Make sure you have the reverser full to the recommended level with oil. Fish scale is fine, or just guess. If you go to far, you will not be able to adjust it at all. Been there, done that on the seal. L...

Not 100% sure, but keep in mind that you are taking a rockshaft housing that was designed for 9GPM at 1000 PSI and you are stuffing 15 or more GPM at 1500PSI into it. It is not going to be ported internally to handle that kind of flow. Also, on a tractor, the rockshaft housing is the reservoir, so ...

Probably nothing is special other than it is a grade 8 for strength at 5 1/2 or 6 7/8, these are alot of the same bolts that hold the swinging drawbar bracket in place. I added one on my 1010. The first ones went all the way through with a nut and then later a shorter bolt was used cause the hole w...

i also installed a 40 420 hyd 3point off a wheel tractor.it was not a big project fab wise but the hydraulic plumbing is giving me a problem ,what i did was ran a 3/8 hyd hose to the top of the unit and tee,d it in to the 3/4 inch line that controls the 831 loader bucket. now the 3point has pressure...

Lavoy lavoy , i been working on the crawler today, i preped and painted the engine ,belhousing and direction reverser housing,also took it apart more and pressure washed it .getting ready for pain...

tod, They must still be available, the dealer just re-built my 440 reverser (or so they said they did - see my recent topic) They charged me for clutch packs, so you should be able to get them. As far as pulling the reverser, if you have any questions, ask away, I will try to help, I have pulled mi...

I have one, but it is not out of the crawler yet. Wouldn't take all that long to do it, but I do not have the crawler here.

how much ?BIG BUCKS? hecl lets put a reverser in it ! it will make the crawler so much more useful too.

There should be no bearing or seal on the front shaft. Some people will just used the old reverser input shaft instead of the standard prop shaft. It will work, but it only has about half of the spline engagement that the regular shaft does. Couplers are available new, less than $100 if I remember ...

my 440ic is all the way apart now ,because of a coupling .the problem seems to be that i use reverse to much and it seems to take forever to get back there,before i go and put the crawler togather again i would like to put a reverser in it ,does anyone have one that is available for my crawler?

as i was out taking apart my 440 i found that the coupling is stripped .the shaft survived, hoping that it was the clutch it wasnt ,the clutch had been replaced recently .i pulled out the reverser housing and there is nothing in there, it appears that the last person who owned this crawler didnt put...
