I assume a MC is 6 volt positve ground. If so, the negative terminal of the coil should show full battery voltage. The positive terminal should show 0v if points are closed and battery voltage if points are open. The voltage at the negative terminal should come from the ignition switch. Be sure you ...

I checked with some jobbers in Abilene and they said they could get the Delvac 1640 but it would only be available in 5 gal. pail. They recommended Exxon 40w as basically the same oil and is diesel rated. It is available in qts. or gals. Exxon and Mobil are the same conglomerate I think.

The link you posted for the I&T Manual is for TRACTORS only. It is worse than useless for a crawler. In case you were interested.

The reverser lever will be on the side of the dash, above the clutch pedal if so equipped.

Different tractor I know but when I bought my 440ICD the air cleaner was totally missing. I wound up getting a Baldwin paper element filter that was nearly the same size outlet as the pipe going to the blower. I had a muffler shop cut a piece of scrap ex. pipe, 2 1/2" by 13 " I think, to fit the rub...

Well it supposedly brought $1675. By the way, Lavoy, that Oliver HG-R rubber track brought $32.9K.

Lavoy, just noticed an auction for a '61 440IC with dozer blade on eBay. Seller says it has a 4 cyl engine? Could it be a 1010 engine shoehorned in? The carb is on the right side and did not see the distributor in any picture. Just curiosity. The auction number is 7615573200. Also there is an old 44...

When I bought my 440ICD last fall it was missing one outer plate for a top roller. I got it and the shims from my local Yellowhouse. They weere kinda proud of the shims.

These are not mine or do I know anything about them as I am in Texas and they are in Michigan. But somebody has a complete set of tracks and rear sprockets (auction # 7613439686 ) in one auction and a 4 way inside mount blade (auction # 7613444146) in another auction. They are both buy it now auctio...

Inquiring minds need to know, did you ever get it apart and how?
Bryce

This is more idle curiosity than anything else after the IRS got thru with me. But what tractors/crawlers will it fit and is it compatable with a 831 loader on a 440ICD?
Bryce

You might try the yesterdaystractors.com site they have both a johndeere and crawler forums, there may be someone there familiar with the bigger crawlers. I mainly go there for information on my Minne-Molines. I feel any info I have on a GM diesel as in my 440 will not apply to a John Deere engine i...

What kind of a blade does it have and can you deliver to west Texas? LOL
Bryce

CRS happens just before you come down with the C-nile Virus. I think. They say when you get old three things happen, the first is you lose your mind and I can't remember what the other two are.

Just out of curiosity what is this a 1010 or 350? Auction no. 7602675432

It is out of my price range but I was wondering what model it is? Bryce
