40c rollers
Just checking the rollers on my 40c 4 roller. I notice that 5 out of the 8 have blind ends with no place for a grease fitting. However there is a plug in the center of the roller itself, I assume for lubrication. From what I can see in my parts books, these rollers are not original to any of the 40c...

Thanks to everyone for all the great suggestions. I put some good quality thread sealer on the bolt, a fibre washer under the nut and was able to get an old l shaped socket handle, that I've had for 50 years and seldom used, in past the ring gear to hold the nut while I tightened the bolt. Filled th...

40c transmission leak
I recently overhauled the steering clutch in my 40c. In the process I found that someone had previously striped the threads for the front lower clutch housing bolt. Their solution was to drill through the boss in the transmission and put a nut on the inside. I didn't think that this would create a p...

Installing my new 40 steering clutch today and have a few questions. (1). How do I "exercise" the clutch before adjustment as directed in the bulletin? (2) On the new pressure plate there are spring clips on the release levers covering the head of the adjustment bolts. I assume I need to remove thes...

Lavoy, Thanks for the help. I removed the rear cover, loosened the bolts on the clutch housing and was able to tap the quill out from inside very easily. I do have the seal that is not shielded so I assume it's just a matter of greasing it well and being careful on the install so it dosen't roll. Th...

Lavoy, I have received a copy of a page from a 350 crawler manual dated Aug 73 that says "use the center tang of the gauge marked ENGINE for this check. STEERING notch is used only for 1010 crawler steering clutches." Which is correct for my 40c steering clutches this manual or the earlier bulletin ...

I am rebuilding my clutch and see evidence of transmisssion oil leaking into the housing. I have removed all of the bolts from the quill and it is loose but it wont...
