JDcrawlers Messageboard

Don't get too worried about it being a bad deal .Just set the clutches up and adjust the brakes up .That unit is a very late in the year 1967build it will not have power assist steering so it is even more critical that you set the clutch and break at the same time .As you set the break up the clutch...

I put two steel man doors in the middle back of the first two bays thinking that some day I would use them and some cables to bring a dead crawler or plow unit in .So far I haven't had to use them usually an excavator is avalible.Smaller dead crawlers can take a lot of pull to get rolling and do not...

Being as computer literate as a stump some times means I got to get the wife to pick and paste this stuff sorry about the info not in place These guys just got back to me last week they are still lookin for Canadian and American distributors I told them to get one with my name on it and pack it up t...

Seasons best to all and your family's.Here is a two cylinder diesel with two cranks in it .Yep two pistons two cranks and four connecting rods .British and German engineered .I am wondering how long the gears between the cranks will last .These things have massive torque over two and a half times th...

If you are going to crank that smoke screw give her all she has got and get back to us on what you broke or twisted off !!A turbo only cleans up the emit ions of that little engine I think.But it sure adds some whistle at 2000 rpm around 1650 to 1700 it acts like it is workin its ass off but I think...

I have noticed that with Deere and Cat .Neither remember where the roots originated.But some guts actually ask questions and are getting more interested I got an old time contractor up here in a little Butcrackville [no I wont name the town]that has forty acres of old cats and wont sell a thing .Ont...

Deere has built so many different models numbers that cross If we sat down and figured some out it would warp the old mind .Lean across the parts counter and ask for parts for a 850 tractor .See how long it takes for them to ask two cylinder or three cylinder ?.See how awake they are real quick !!.W...

My big problem is that I have to buy yellow stuff and my yellow dealer will not supply parts books with my new dozers when asked about this they have replied come to us for the parts .Well I have bought Cat lately and an other brand new cat out front of the shop is driving Deere salesman nuts but st...

When looking for parts for your 350series of course engine parts will interchange with the tractor with that motor and the transmission parts will interchange as well I have seven Deere dozers and four Deere excavators as well as two farm tractors and several backhoe models I try to buy the most of ...

I took the 40C for a romp the other night and a couple of hired men took turns around the shop after .It sat long enough to have the clutches go stiff it takes very little time to get the faces to rust in the humid conditions around here . I will get these guys to work on it they got a real kick out...

My new Kubota tractor has a hook to hold the clutch open [Only when tractor is not in use] it says .Now this is a newer machine with a lot newer springs in the clutch but I guess that it would be beneficial to do this .I am sure that it was not just for the boat ride over!! ,Digitup.

You would be amazed the amount of $ and frustration that those two little screens cause but the thing is the they need to be there the one in the tank I have a unit to clean out the fuel tank while on the unit now after havening several of my units sabotaged with dirt stuffed in the fuel tanks .And ...

When ever this happens to me I always go for that little in line filter at the fuel line entering the injector pump .My friend ordered a new injector pump as I mentioned the line filter we cleaned it and away it went .That small screen is just a last catchall before the pump so always clean it and p...

You want to hear on about either When I first got out of school I worked for an Allis Chalmers dealer and was called to a farm in a hell of a hurry one day to look at the intake on a 200 Allis tractor look at this and you will find a large area on the intake manifold that has the Allis Chalmers insi...

I think you will find the clutch packs on a 350D are the same size and quantity as the 450D packs should be no problem but if yours is a 350B-C-or D it should be OK There is a way to find out where the week spots are Put the turbo on and give it hell .You will only get a maximum of 10% boost in HP s...
