Re: where does the spark go?
Hi, New coil you say? 12v one? Was the old one an original 6v one? If so, did you remove the resistor? If not, then you will have enough high voltage for a direct coil to plug connection but not enough to make it thru the rotor and cap. I have seen this before. Found by using a Hi Voltage probe (whi...

Re: 440ICD Track shoes on backwards
Hi, I think it won't matter if you don't work it hard. And there are lots of things to bust on these old machines if you work them hard. If you are in softer dirt, then the pads act like shovels, as the tracks tend to spin. If you are on firmer dirt then there is more force into the bushings because...

Re: 440ICD Track shoes on backwards
Hi, In forward, the force is on the first two teeth. In reverse, the force is on all the teeth fairly evenly. In forward, there is greater force because there is greater load. Unless you are just going to drive it around at shows and not use it. Then it won't matter. As they are now, more force tryi...

Hi,
The internals of the reverser are all screwed up is what this tells me.

Re: 440ICD Track shoes on backwards
Hi,
The idea is you will be putting a lot more force into the chain going forwards than backwards.

Re: Series One 420 Color Scheme
Hi, They were not a darker green. It just fades darker over time. The stripe came later, during the 20 series run. And it fades to white. The stripe is not paint. It's ink because they screenprinted it on. So are the letters and the 420 numbers. That made for quick drying. Screenprint the stripe, dr...

Re: 1975 350 Dozer leak
Hi, If you want to try a seal sweller, put in a little brake fluid. That is an old trick. Works great. For a bit. You will wind up with the leak again. Sooner rather than later. But it will allow you to finish a job. Most likely. My guess: A bearing is going. Shaft is a little wobbly. And so a Quick...

Re: button head grease gun couplers
Hi, Perhaps the bolt is packed with dirt and grease and you just can't see it. The grease gun head and the idler cap are made so you can't get it onto the button unless you first remove that one bolt. It has to be removed to provide a vent or pumping in grease will blow out the seal. So machining th...

Re: button head grease gun couplers
Hi, Only place on my 420c and 350C where it won't go on are the upper idlers. And that is by design. Because you have to remove a bolt to vent it. So they have these ridges to ensure you remove that bolt. Every other fitting works if I slide it on from the proper direction. I have never had a 1010 b...

Re: 1/2” chain & 9/16” pads
Hi,
Sounds like a lot of spacer rings to make up to me....
But that would be faster than drilling and tapping the holes....

Re: '73 - 450B Crawler/Loader/Hoe Restoration
Hi, That is the one I use on the 3/152. Has the spring loaded stop pin. I kinda figured it was the same for the earlier 4 cylinder engines. I had to get a different, larger diameter one for the 3/179. They changed the hole in the bell housing between 1978 and 2008. And the new one does not have the ...

Re: '73 - 450B Crawler/Loader/Hoe Restoration
Hi, On turning the engine over by hand, I use the drive gear tool. Now, which one of those does your engine require? Deere has had several over the years. Anyway, one sticks it in the hole and uses a ratchet to crank it and a pin in the small hole to push into the hole in the flywheel for TDC. That ...

Re: 350c running warm
Hi,
Better yet, if you have or can borrow, a thermal imaging camera. See if there are any hot spots which indicate a coolant passage blockage.
