I had an employee, who operated my jd440 icd why I was gone and stood the machine on its back drivers and came down so hard, that he broke the front counter weight off. Lucky for me, I had another and was in town to fetch it. After repairs, and the firing of the said employee, I operated the machine...

I would like to rebuild my reverser, where can I get the parts needed

well folks here is the result. We cleaned and inspected all the fuel line, checked the air filter and pulled the blower and made sure it was ok. it checked out fine. 80It was cold and we decided to put the tiger torch under the beast and heat it up, before trying to start it. We had the valve cover ...

if the blower was faulty, would there not be some indication, such as noise, some bangs or squeaks.

Hello all

I ran my jd440icd out of fuel. When I added fuel and got it running ithe engine did not rev up to normal operating seed. I noticed that the fuel pump was leaking. Could this be the issue? Is there a way to hook up an electric pump? Is there any one that has done it already?

Here is an update

Hello all I was walking my 440 Icd uphill when suddenly stopped moving . When I release the clutch pedal there is a noise emanating from the area of the clutch and reverser. The reverser does not seem to engage in forward or reverse. Does it sound like reverser is the issue? Can I rebuild it? A fell...

Hello folks I am serching for a logging arch and Front end loader for my JD 440 icd. It would be nice if the front end loader had a graple to load logs as well as a bucket to move soil and manure.
