I've been looking at a 440IC this past weekend. It does not have an engine in it. I tried to turn the shaft that goes into the transmission by hand. It would not budge (yes it was in nuteral). Both clutch levers have to be pulled back when pushing the tractor to get it to roll. Does this indicate th...

Thank you. The frame that it is setting on is the first stage of a bridge. I blocked up both sides and had to give it a test before I put it across the creek to make sure it would hold.

Here are a couple pictures of my 420C that I picked up this past March.

Thank you.
It almost looked like someone made their own inspection hole & then covered it up with the steel plate.

Brian

Is there a access plate in the top of the 5 speed transmission housing under the seat? I'm looking at one that has a 3X5in steel plate bolted to it.

Thanks

I'm looking at buying a 440 IC for a parts machine for my 420C (the 440 does not run, engine is frozen). Can someone tell me what parts will swap directly from the 440 to my 420? I'm mostly conserned with the transmission, final drives, sprockets & tracks.
Thank you.

Brian

OK, I could not stand it any longer. I called them...

The C55 list price: $27,368 (it has steel tracks)
The C75 list price: $30,295 (it has rubber tracks)

I guess i'll be buying a lottery ticket tonight... anyone else...

Looks like they are sold out of Stayton Oregon, chech out their 'contact us' page.

Be the first on your block to own one. Good Luck

I have seen a similar wheel tractor model (in The Big Book Of John Deere Tractors), made by JD but sold in Spain as a vineyard model. JD partnered with Goldoni. In the link below, there is a wheel tractor with the same fold down style ROPS. http://www.midvalley-goldoni.com/nonJS/AboutUs/History/hist...

Ditcher is sold. Thank you.

Will the steering clutch housings from a 440IC under s/n 448,000 bolt onto a 420C?
Thank you.

Lavoy, I have a MC1000 tool carrier with the 6" Blade, that I'm thinking about selling. The tool carrier is complete including the pins to attach to the tractor and to the blade. Tool carrier has the Yakima serial number tag still attached (AN 7xx range). Both adjusting cranks work. If I was go gues...

Howard,

Sorry it took so long getting back to you, I finally got the tractor home yesterday. The winch is a Carco Model C series 3.

I'm planing on selling the Winch and installing a PTO.

Brian

I just picked up a 420C this weekend. The search is finally over...
Let the games begin...

When pulling on the left clutch, the engine RPM drops the tractor does turn. Do I need to pull the final drive or is this just an adjustment?

Thanks for your help.
