Anti-seize wins! Thanks all.

When bolts become loose beetween components, we can expect something to break down. So, when reassembling the crawler together I was thinking about 2 options: Put anti-seize on crucial bolts at assembly to the correct torque and tighten from time to time. So if I need to dissamble again (I hope not ...

Maybe I downloaded the last 602 file . You should receive it. It's a 6Meg pdf.

I was about to post the same link! I downloaded mine over there for the 602 blade on the 440. You have all you need as part # in this book from cutting edge to cylinder seals.

No problem Dan. Take your time. I have so much to do on the crawler... The alternator is far away from alternating! I had minor things to fix until I reached the final drives... Bull gear and axle need attention left side, new bearings and seal needed, steering clutch shafts have been welded, fibers...

Good!

No problem. I'm not stressed with that. The dozer is in pieces right now. The alternator is far in the to do list for now!

Thanks guys. I have some more options now with your ideas.

The better the conception, heavier it is... my rule of thumb! hehehe. Believe me I change many 8D 1500CCA on generators (because we have to every 5 years) and Cat...

Thanks H-D for your advice.

I'm gonna check for a female eyebolt in Cat parts at the shop and let you know if get a number for it. If not, plan B as you guys said: retap one!

yess you're right but I didn.t have that female eyebolt then... I'm gonna get it this week for reassembly. Stud is O.K. Engine looks more tilted in the picture than it really was!!

Are you a steiner dealer also? So we can send to you a PM with their part numbers and do buiseness with you instead.

Hi,

I found one on steiner tractor website while looking for some 440 parts.
