Hello, finally able to get to my 440 after a long absence. I now have it moving under its own power. I removed the head and had it rebuilt. Also, had the radiator re-cored as well as new coil, points, condensor. Here is a picture waiting to load up at my house to be moved to my new shop at the farm ...

I will try that. Lavoy, the carb went to a very well-known carb rebuiding shop, in gm, 2 cyl, etc, but I am pretty sure warranty from carb shop is off by now, I have been reluctant to take it apart. Anyway now I broke the adjusting rod on the governor so I have to find that before I can do anymore. ...

I guess I should have just bought new carb

I remember another time I worked on an AR tractor, and it did exactly the same thing, surge, the culprit was a broken, then welded governor spring, or no-longer a spring. I read about this on YT so I replaced that one, then it ran perfect. Anyway, I will post results.

It seems like I only get to work on my crawler once a year based on previous posts. I'm still working on 440 IC and have now got to this point: rebuilt carb, new manifold, all new ignition, rebuilt head. I got it running yesterday, starts good, sound okay but it "surges". I checked the governor and ...

Hello to all, been a while since I have posted, been reading lots though, some nice work being done, anyway, I have got back to work on my 440 IC. I sent the carb away to be rebuilt and re-installed, will only run with the choke on. Before I rip the carb apart and void any warranty I might have, I w...

Hello to all, have been away, back into fixing now, did anyone see the "hi-crop" crawler in Green Magazine? Quite a unit.

I am looking for a manual for a "63" blade, I have a "64" manual to trade or cash.
Thanks

Here are two very happy guys, no make that three, counting me, to get rid of the infamous "shop-bilt" loader.

Lavoy, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who likes to bring them back from the grave. Does it have the ripper teeth?

Brent

Thanks Lavoy, I am going to try to venture down after the end of this month, so don't say I didn't warn you!

hahaha

Thanks Lavoy, the 440 is "hunting and seeking", I thought maybe the float was set too low. Boy that new carb would have been a good idea in hindsight but free advice never really sinks in does it!

Brent

I don't have access to SM 2024 (I know, I know, I gotta loosen up) but what is the proper float height for a TSX-756 carb on a 440 and what is the right fuel height?

Thanks in advance,

Brent
