JDcrawlers Messageboard

Thanks Lavoy thats what I thought

will the parts book for the tractors cover a crawler to. Ive seen plenty of parts books for tractors but they don't say anything about crawlers

Talk about hard on steering cluches, I bet you would be working on them all the time.

Thanks they are street pads and I thought I had remembered you saying that once before but couldn't find it.

I have a set of tracts that have a pin bolted on each side of the pad. Was wondering what these were used for. Thanks for any info.

nice job looks great where some of the 420's all green on the hood and grill and the later ones with the yellow and green?

WOW sounds like you are going to be serious about getting the job done. LOL If your going to have a loader on it you don't want to have grousers on the tracts. I know where there's one sitting that had grousers on it and he was using it to log with and he coudn't keep sterring clutches in it. It has...

Also check your hoses to make sure the return isn't getting crimped or collapsing but Lavoy is right it sounds as if your running out of oil becase a collapes line usually would still let it go up real slow. Good Luck and let us know what it turns out to be.

check and make sure your teeth on the starter are angled for both ways.

one of these days i will get a new scanner and send a picture of the bush hog I mounted on my 430C loader to mow around the sawmill after we shut it down. I could go over top of things laying around. I run it off the hydraulics for the loader the only thing was that i couldn't run the loader and the...

that sure would beat a chain and load binder if you get one and it works let us know

thanks for taking the time to explane it it does make sense. If i where to make decisions on the bases of my pocketbook it would be easy. LOL I won't be using this crawler much anymore so I will probably just use the tracts the way they are unless i can talk the wife into a new pickup and a trip out...

have a good set of tracts with decent rails but they run them on bad sprockets. I was thinking of turning the pins and bushings and putting on a good set of sprockets but a local man without looking at them said I'm just throwing my money away. what do you think I also could run them the way they ar...

Does a 430c have 35 0r 36 links on the tracts? It's a 5 roller Thanks

I would start with the cap and make sure it is good then change the termosat and if that don't help check to make sure the radiator isn't pluged up. Could be your water pump but they usually leak when they go bad. good luck
