Very highly unlikely that someone can reline the wet brake bands, but it's possible. Usually you don't see many rebuilds on the wet clutch crawlers, so if yours are worn, you may have other underlying issues.
Price you are seeing on bands, and the freight seem high to me.

I would GUESS that your setup would be at 1500PSI which if I am correct would explain the lack of power. Flow is another factor, you may be down on flow and pressure both.

There is a set that will work on the 440, figure about $4000 for the conversion.

Probably not enough info to give a real accurate answer, would need more info on factory or jobber hoe. But the short answer is if it is already at correct operating pressure, increasing it will just break things. If capacity is not enough, then you need a larger hoe, not more pressure.

Crawler radiator is unique to the crawler unfortunately.

Internals are different, some other differences, but I BELIEVE they will work. If you have a diesel crawler, gear ratio will be different.

You can't really "see" the front bearing enough from the top to get a good idea of condition. A hardened roller in a bearing never smooths out. Run it and the bearing will fail, or whatever else is feeling rough will fail.

You do not just arbitrarily add or remove shims, you need to measure the freeplay in the shaft, and adjust for proper preload.

R & R only, there are no new crawler water pumps available.
Lavoy

Not unusual, the clutch might be dragging just enough to keep it spinning. Make sure you don't have excess freeplay in the clutch pedal. Can also be the pilot bearing going bad or already bad and spinning the input shaft.
Lavoy

Not positive, but I think you might be able to get by just taking off the cylinder bracket.
Lavoy

Will do.

Shoot me an email at postmaster@jdcrawlers.com when you get a chance.

Normally keep all the parts on hand, I think I have a parts manual on hand too.
Lavoy

Yes, I have a OEM service manual on hand, do you need parts as well?
