That is a bargin, those are interest guards over the rear sprockets, I've not seen those before.

I ended up ruining the pin getting it out. I have Berco tracks on my machine, can I just order a master pin for a 450c or do I need to go to Berco and get a master pin from them? Any ideas?

Getting that pin out is by far the worst thing I've ever done to my loader...sheesh....When I order new rails, they are going to have the 2 piece split master.

My front idler has failed, it's squealing and rubbing against the rock guards. I'm going to have to tear it apart and I'm not sure I can get the master pin drove out on my own. I'm thinking about buying a split master link, I assume I'd cut a link apart but I still have to drive out two pins and ins...

Welcome to the world of heavy equipment where fingers are smashed and wallets are bare! It's a blast !!

Might be springs, the springs that were fully compressed for 17 years are probably pretty lame. Once it's running at all, I think the stuck would be about gone, you may have to do as you suggest and pull the head in the field. It won't take long at all on a standard 350.

I'm sorry I don't have anything to add but I went and read you thread over on HEF and man on man have you got a project. I wish all the best!

Maybe bumping will get Lavoy over here, he's actually used the stuff in question.

Ya, I'm about 45 minutes from Springfield so that's an option. If I could of heard the motor run , see the oil pressure I'd be interested at 3500 I think it just the unknown of it all. Weird thing is he has a complete backhoe attachment and only wants 2,000 for that which I think is a bargain. I wis...

My old girl 450c has the non turbo engine. At some point I'm going to have to either rebuild it or replace it ( it carries very low oil pressure and is addicted to starting fluid). I had the injection pump rebuilt a couple years back and it gave it more power but still is lacking I think. I found a ...

To me it's not just about the math, if my old girl blew her engine I'd find a replacement but that's just me. I really enjoy working on and with her, I have a project this weekend to clear a few acres of bradford pear trees. I'm hoping we've received enough rain lately that I just don't shear them o...

The first time I threw a track it took me hours to pop back on. The last time I threw a track it took 30 minutes (not including the time to get the tools)..... you learn alot doing that.

It's a couple/three hours south of me, If you come down from Iowa to buy it I'll tag along and help you load it up. It's going to take a mammoth effort to even move it. Especially with that track off.

I wonder how low they will go just to get rid of it.

Who's up for a challenge ?

I still suspect the return check valve is plugged and you're pressurizing the injection pump. Pull the 90 degree elbow and clean that out real well and install and see if it will run better for a bit.

Can you have Salt tracks without the alligator style master? Everyone of my pins has a dimple which I thought was also a sign of Salt tracks but I do not have the 2 piece master link.
