You found the correct site right here.I'm sure Lavoy will respond shortly.However,if you're worried about going out of Maine to find obsolete parts for a 51 year old tractor,you probably shouldn't have started this project.These parts are in extremely low supply,wherever and whenever you can locate ...

845-590-6812---Phone # for farmer who owns the 40 for those worried about using CL.

I have changed the steering housing oil at least 3 times on my C and D dozers,but without having the machine right in front of me,I just can't remember where the fill opening is.But not to worry-when I get to my shop tomorrow,I will look and have an answer for you.

You assumed correctly.Been in the excavating biz for 36 years now.I knew you weren't directing anything at me,you were just cautioning members,however your mistrust of Craigslist in general is totally without merit as there are much more legitimate users than scammers.Otherwise,I wouldn't advertise ...

Do you still have any parts left?

If you're that paranoid about scams and virus's on Craglist from a farmer who has an old JD40 who probably just started to learn how to operate a computer or he had his grandson post his rig for him,you probably don't want to be on a computer at all.I use Craigslist everyday,both for advertising my ...

If you want real problems with the DOT[Dep't. of Trouble],then come to NY.We have DOT officers who go way beyond FMCSA reg's. who routinely give me the latex glove exam without the lube.One minute you're legal,the next time your not.I had one fellow excavator by me who recently got pulled over 3 tim...

I just saw an ad in Craigslist in the Hudson Valley,NY section for a 40 crawler dozer that was bought new by the farmer and only used it one week a year for 45 years pushing off corn silage.It also has a rear winch. He's asking $4500. Sounds like a real good buy.

Hi everyone--it's been a while.I'm looking for an old Royer shredder,either model 360 or 362 for a parts machine or an old Rockford PTO, model PTA-5871. This would be from the early 60's,the Royers are painted red,the Rockford PTO, besides being used on Royers were on many different stationary engin...

How is the reverser?What would you want for it if it's alright? Thanks.

I have a 59' 440 loader for sale.The Jimmy diesel runs fine,the reverser needs rebuilding,tracks are fair,hydraulics are good. $3,500----914-464-1882----Poughkeepsie,NY

I have a 440 Lanz which i have started to pull apart. I have already spoken to Lavoy about clutch plates, bearings, etc but today after pulling the left final drive off i fond that the housing is in very bad shape. Someone has smashed it at some stage and it has been re-welded but the inner bearing...

Doesn't anybody know this already???

Because of this wonderful economy of ours, I might have to sell my 440ICD with 831 loader.The Detroit runs fine,5 sp. tranny is also good,the reverser is gone,the bottom is fair to good---what might it be worth?
