No eh... it's been disconnected at some point.. as the lever isn't there anymore.. it doesn't look like that complicated a mechanism that activates it.. and could possibly be made from another lever.. ?? I have a mill & lathe.. so it' makes things a bit easier than farming out that type of work ...

Tks for the reply Stan... I've been reading as much as I can to learn what these machines are about before I jump into a full on resto... I will probably use the non reverser box, now that I know what it is as it will be just one less thing to go wrong with it that will need very little attention du...

My 440 has suffered the same fate.. I pulled the barrel bung cap off for a peak.. and there's a shift fork in there.. I've tried to pry it either direction .. but it won't budge.. there is an inspection cover there as well.. but I haven't taken it off yet. I went to check my parts 440.. and it doesn...

she sounds like a keeper for sure, does she have a sister? :lol: That she is... sorry.. she's an only child... they broke the mold after making her... believe it or not... she is a locomotive engineer with the railway up in these parts... only the 2nd woman to ever work that job... she certainly lo...

Lucky man -- little does she know. Then again, she may want to drive the dozer too.[/quote] Oh.. she knows... lol.. she has been through a quite few of my expensive projects... in fact she is not above getting her hands dirty.. we built an 80's 4X4 step side.. and she rebuilt one side of the front d...

I had my little deere puttering around on the farm this weekend... moving some parts trucks into their new bone yard.. thanks to the 440's brush clearing ability.. I plan on storing it in my shop this winter... to just take in all it is... like you mention.. making sure fluids are all topped up.. et...

beautiful work.. Sir... your thread has inspired me to tackle my 440..

we are very lucky to have a source like this forum.. and guys such as yourself .. Stan.. Lavoy and others who are obviously quite passionate.. and so knowledgable with these old machines... It sure makes a newbie like myself more comfortable tearing into one... knowing solving an issue "can" only be...

Looks like a pretty decent find. If you want to sell the winch stuff, get ahold of me. Tks Ben... I would consider that.. Ben.. as right now.. I'm trying to familiarize myself with these machines.. (I have spent hrs reading on this forum) Not sure weather I need the winch or not.. at this point...

So.. I guess the 1st number of each is the parts #..?? if ordered from the OEM..??

btw.. an impressive list you have there Stan...

good to know.. I really appreciate all or any info... from you guys... tks..

Hi, I+T is a 3rd party manual printer. They copy, under license, but somehow manage to leave about half the information out. Which half do you guess you always need?? :P As Lavoy pointed out, good for birdcage liners. Also handy dandy in the outhouse (dual purpose there)..... ;) Places like Tractor...

Welcome to the site. Looks like you have a good starting point for entering the world of crawlers. As Lavoy stated, getting a good service manual is money well spent. Read it through, and you'll have a good grounding in how your machine is designed to work. That said, JD chose to append their manua...

Hi Lavoy... 1st.. I assume you have a service manual for a 440 IC... secondly... could you let me know what I need to do to get 1 from you... thanks in advance...

First order of business is to get factory parts and service manuals, not I & T unless you have a bird cage that needs a liner! Lavoy I have the parts manual... but yes..agreed.. a service manual is another of the 1st tools I will need... if you can put me onto one.. I would purchase it... I'm not q...
