JDcrawlers Messageboard

I lube it from outside by using kroil then I use 30w. it works. I thought maybe there was a zerk somewhere I was missing. I completely rebuilt the dozer I didn't plan to at first but it became necassary. When I take it apart again(notice I said when and not if) I will probably change the material th...

Is there any way of greasing the clutchpedal/brake pedal tube? My crawlers tube rust/seizes together such that when you depress the clutch the brake pedal moves too. I lube it from the outside but I doubt it does it much good. Took it all apart 2 years ago and cleaned and polished and reassembled, l...

I purchased a splined coupling from Kaman that was splined and coupled a hydraulic pump to a skid steer. The brand name of the coupling is Magnaloy.

There is a bushing material called Ampco 45 or alloy630 bronze that will out wear a 1020 pin,kind a pricey, may be what is in there now

I sure am glad we have all this media if it weren't for it I wouldn't even know there was a recession. You know when the white man came to America we didn't pay taxes, the men hunted and fished, the women took care of the children, cooked and raised the garden and they thought they could improve on ...

Randy,

OOOh hell yea!!!!

I think I read about this proceedure in green magazine a couple years ago . The engine was out of a 4230. One would need to examine prints of engine vs. transmission to make sure. the article never really said what kind of transmission they used. I've seen it done with a IH and a deutz engine bothwe...

Thanks for the info. I just use mine on the farm thinking about cheap tracks right now. I'd like to have one with track frames and rollers.

I'm thinking of buying a set of tracks for my skid steer. Anyone had any expeireance with skidsteer tacks? I've seen chain type, Grouser type, something called flats and others, the only differance I know is the price.

Here are a couple of web sites that can explain it better than I can.

I made up an electrolysis tank out of an old cattle water tank, worked well for me.

It will pull it fine if properly loaded on trailer. However stopping and negotiating turns will be challenging even on blacktop.

I know I want one bad. Lookes at a IH TD-3 and a JD 1010. Can't justify, but still want one or two.

Thanx for the info. My track blocks were worn through, I pitched them. I want to build me a set, but since I got my crawler done I can't seem to quit using it long enough to make it better.(unless something breaks)

Please excuse my ignorance. What is a track stop?
