Both the fuel and the oil filter from NAPA are paper filters in a metal canister. I think in a previous post someone actually went to the website of the original fuel filter housing manufacturer and cross-referenced the fuel filter so I think it is correct. It certainly fit well when I installed it.

Oil filter is NAPA 1100
Fuel Filer is NAPA 3513

That is what I have in my 440ICD

Vent tube is on the left side of the engine and attaches into the air box behind the governor linkage

Lavoy: Thanks. Sounds like I could modify my fenders since I have a loader. Based on your note, adding some 1/2" metal plate to the underside of the fenders and also beefing up the attachment point of the fender to the loader arms should do the trick. That will provide the laterial strength required...

Lavoy:

Can hoe mounts be added to any 440? My machine has the counter weight mounts but I would like to add a backhoe at some point in time. If hoe mounts can be used on my machine, the next challenge will be to find a set.

To remove the finals, you need to remove the four bolts that hold each final to the cross-bar bracket. Hopefully you have more luck with these bolts than I did. :shock: I would also remove anything else that is "in the way" such as fenders, hydraulics, sprockets, etc. I did not remove the actual cro...

I have Rotella in my 2-53 but am now concerned based on this discussion. I did look on the back of the Rotella container and it states that it is approved for use in Detroit 53 series diesel.

Lavoy: Oil pressure gauge is SW 82349 (positive ground) and can use sender SW 279 B-F or SW 82893. You can check all of this on the following website http://www.stewartwarner.net . This is not the SW website but a distributor which has an on-line catalog. The positive ground gauges are in the "Delux...

Checked out enerything, bad gauge. Got the PN's and checked with Deere, rediculous prices. Stewart Warner still makes these for Deere so I contacted Stewart Warner and here are their PN's Gauge: SW 82351 (positive ground 2 1/16" black face temp gauge) Sending Unit: SW 280EA Total for both is around ...

Bryce:

Thanks. All new wires so I know it is not the wires. I will check the sending unit with a multimeter and see what it reads. My temp gauge is original so it is not in the best shape either, so will test it also.

Lavoy:

Do you have a replacement sending unit and gauge or know the PN?

Trying to get my temperature gauge to work after painting my machine. It was working before. Not sure what was original for at 1959 440ICD, nothing in the manuals, but this has a one wire temp sending unit and a JD temp gauge (not a capillary unit). How does this wire in? Wire from the sending unit ...

Lavoy:

Thanks for the info. I plan on driving my 440 out of the garage today. A July 4th celebration.

Anyone know the weight of a Model 50 backhoe attachment? I am guessing it is around 3000 pounds but need to know to see if I can lift one onto a trailer with my 1.5 ton chain hoist

Got it adjusted. Not too bad. Just need to have two extra wrists so you can bend your hand in un-natural ways. Adjustment ring goes downwards to tighten the clutch. I got about 4 pounds of increased lever "pull" for each step in the adjustment ring. Howard: if you need to do this on your machine, th...
