Someone might have changed them to ones like on my 450D--oil lubricated.Take out an allen plug and see if oil starts coming out.If it does,well,there's nothing more to say or do as long as there's enough of it.

Nortrax is the pits.Very glad Jesco took over their operation by me in Beacon,NY.First chance I get,the Nortrax decals are coming off my 410G.

Or maybe even grenade itself. Yes kahuna,I know better than to operate it,just looking to see what's involved for the repair.

Picked up a real neat tool the other day called a Swench impact wrench.It has these 3 HD spring loaded cams that when released gives off 800lbs.' of torque.My model is the second of 5 in terms of power generated.The big boy offers 7K lbs. ' of torque!!!Made by Curtis Wright Marquette,the airplane pe...

On my 59' 440 track loader,the 1 side,the sprocket is wiggling around,actually it is hitting the bottom roller some.What kind of keeper holds her in,bearing[s],where to get parts,difficulty of repair,etc. Thanks.

Just wanted to mention a product for protecting steel/existing rust from further rusting that I've been using for years.Fluid Film,made from industrial wool wax,no solvents,has amazing long term protection against rusting,also a great lubricant to use anywhere,zippers,sliding drawers,door hinges,any...

Selling my 440 with 831 loader.Engine runs great,reverser is bad.U.C. is fair.Machine overall is clean and solid. Asking $3,500

I asked a CDL trooper here today. He said everyone should pull in. Just be sure to tell anyone at a scale house that you are "for exhibit only, and you are not hauling for work". Hauling for work gets you into the headaches. Granted if your truuck has signs on it saying "Lavoy's Tractor Works" I do...

Or 30 wt. depending on the ambient temperatures.You certainly wouldn't want 40 wt.when it's 30* or lower outside.

If you are 10K lbs GVW or GCVWR or heavier and you are engaged in interstate commerce,the FMSCA says you need a medical card.There are exceptions to that rule however,such as if you are hauling hazardous material within your own state--then you also need one.Since my friend's driver was doing intras...

I used to have an old 6/53 in a GMC dump truck.It was carefully explained to me after my rebuild from my local Detroit dealer only to use a 30 or 40 wt. oil,high detergent,but with a very low ash content as the exhaust valve seats would get ruined eventually if you didn't.Like others have said here,...

How is the reverser?

My good buddy just got hurt bad by these gestapos this bad week.He was on vacation,his other non-CDL driver who is from Mexico was driving with his still good Mexican license.DOT asked for his medical card which you don't need in NY if you're driving within NY,which he was.Got him for no license[sti...

Well,went to profile to try and change my avatar from a 430 to a 440,couldn't find anything other than the pic of my 440 loader which I clicked on.Still says 430.
