Wish we had the garand here, mostly just old enfields. Love the m14 closest i think i'll ever get to one might be the noremco copy. Now the really cool release would be the m21 sniper.

Found out what i was doing wrong, i was using firefox, you need to use internet explorer. After that i got the two i was looking for.

Dave

I tried to view the 420 and 40 catalogs and continued to get a corrupt pdf error has anyone else seen this?


Dave

No doubt, i guess when its a near miss then the device did its job. Mines been cut down which bothers me cosmetically, but i wasn't thinking about if it had been damaged, i can't see the crawler being used heavily or in any other capacity then to push snow and winch things around. I think i'll resto...

Heres a pic of the crawler and rops as it sits.



Also if the rops is not rated is it better to just have something or does that lead to false security?

Dave

For me the machine is more of a working restoration, but i do get what a rops is for and that the machine pretty much makes a huge mess of someone in a roleover without one, the crawler is from 58 and i haven't seen any pics of a rops being on one, lots on 1010 and so on. If i was clearing brush wit...

My 420c has a ROPS system that has been lowered and has some damage to it. What does everyone think about just removing it? I'm going to redo the sheet metal and a few other things, well after i get the right side clutches working.

Dave

Do have a cd for 420c, as well any info for gearmatic winchs.

I am dealing with a weird problem, when i put a load on the hydraulic system say lifting the blade with weight or pushing down with the blade the hydraulic system stutters and there is a pulsation. I check the oil and there is lots and the oils new, sept last year. Is this a problem with the valve o...

Hey john i'm in edmonton, Lavoy seems to be the closest to us for parts, plus the best prices i've seen. I'm looking for 4 bolt pads, the flatter the better. I have some 2 bolt pads but they are pretty rough. The undercarriage i have from my parts crawler is pretty bad as well. I was thinking of wel...

I tried to get a manual from paccar, after several emails no luck, if anyone has one that they can scan and share it would be hugely appreciated.

Very nice.

Oh i didn't read that right, I'm not the king, me i am just a mere mortal.


Dave

Yup to true, basically you want northern Canada you need to be in the Yukon or the territories. The King there has done some really neat stuff, love his V12 powered cat that he was working on. Deffinitly worth the read, some of his stories are unreal, love his monster truck.

Have a good one

Dave

Here is the website for the king of obsoletes website. Has more then a dozen old restored cats and internationals. When you see the condition of what he has restored to running shape might change your mind about how junking a crawler. Gives a really good idea about how cold it can get Canada, and th...
