Does anyone have a short cut to replacing the O-rings on the lift cylinders of a MC 1000 tool carrier? It appears that I might have to take the cylinders completely off to get the shaft out. Hope there is an easier way. Any input appreciated. Pat

Me too. No reply. Pat

Want to take off the plate to sandblast . What have you all found as the best way to remove the rivets without marring the plate? Also, what is the best way to clean and repaint the plate itself? Or just leave it alone, and on the MC? Thanks in advance. Pat

Am tearing down an MC. Have never run into so many twisted off bolts ever. Seems like any bolt that went into cast has crystalized or weakened. Every bolt on the sod pan, fenders, etc. twisted off with a standard 3/8 or 1/2 rachet. with very little force applied. Of course you all know all the extra...

Just got a duplicate tag from Deere for a 440IC. Prepare to have patience, as it is not a priority for the folks in Moline. Took me 9 months. Have your JD dealer get an " application for duplicate ID plates " from the regional rep. Then fill it out, notarize it, get it back to your dealer, and wait....

Hey lavoy. Thought you'd be on your way out of town. Didn't understand about the 420c possibly having a 3 pt. Does it have the rockshaft, etc.? Pat

Hey Lavoy. Bought a 440IC recently thats nothing special (universal carb, farmer fixes etc.). But it has a nice 63 blade and a working Gearmatic 0713A winch. Do you or anyone on the board know where I can get a manual/ info on the winch? Also need an air cleaner to go with that Zenith carb. Pat
