It lets you go forward or reverse in any gear. Real handy in loading loads in trucks or on a dozer when your grading and other things.

Lavoy what oil do you use in yours

Lavoy what oil do you use in yours

Thanks for the reply I always try to let it idle fast enough to at least carry 10 pounds but am going to switch oil. I'm going to try a strait 30 weight and if that do it then I well try the 50. Thanks again.

If you have another 420 that you can live without for a while i would rob the pump off of it you would only be out a couble of gaskets. The problem is I had a 720 with a busted block that leaked pretty good and it would take about 6 to 8 hours of operation before the oil would turn gray or milky. It...

I believe that they recomend the strait 30 in the 440 diesel also and from what I here on these engines you want to stick to the 30 weight. But I'm just going by what others are telling me.

no these were meant to be used only when the clutch is disengaged and shifted all the way.

that sure is a fitting area code LOL

That was a heck of a good idea.

Check the return line and filter if the pressure is right i don't know what it is suppose to be but Lavoy will be able to tell you. My 430 was real slow and I put on another return line and it was like a new machine. Good luck

yep you have to take the tract off that final is heavy the book shows how to make a cradel to remove it and really be carefull when you put it back on not to mess the seal up. Good luck

What kind of oil pressure should the 253 run after it has worked for an hour or two. Mine drops almost to nothing like around 10. When i first start it it reads around 45. Thanks

I use it all the time and have a 430 that I have used for years and have taken bolts back off that I have used it on years ago and I don't think you have to worry about bolts coming loose because I have had some trouble getting some of them off. I would hate to think what it would have been like wit...

Pat if you can't get one I can make a copy of the one I have which is a copy but it's not in the best of shape but it's better than nothing. Let me know.

the reverser was an option but some people when they went bad put a dummy shaft in them istead of repairing them. Lavoy can anser you better when he comes back he's like a walking dictionary on these things.
