420c after another spell in the shop.

Here are a few quick pics after she came out of the shop this last go round. In short it came in for a cracked head and it got the rock guard reinstalled, blade lift reworked, and finally the correct seat from the cobbled up boat seat that was on it previously. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y49/N...

Lavoy-

When you say a hi of Zero all I can think of is the comedian Ron White .. "Aparently we don't have a temperature!"

Keep all the cool air up there... it's 43 right now here and that's plenty cool for us in the asphalt business.

Bill- Keep posting. If you can't post crawler pics here and talk tracked tractors.. we won't be able to anywhere. Looks like you're well on the way to saving the old girl. As for the Wisconsin rust.. I dunno.. my lil 420c came out of the swamps of coastal SC.. I think just rust in general is a pain....

Took me a minute there.. but I realized you side slid down the hill! Bet that was exciting. Glad it wasn't more eventful than that.

I once rode the lil 420 sideways off a trailer.. it slipped climbing the ramps.. turned sideways.. and to the bottom I went.

When asked what model you own you should simply reply "Yes."

Personally.. I'd put new pins in. To me it would be worth the cost for the peace of mind.

Just my $.02

I appreciate everyone's tips and advice.. I started to mess with things but decided to let it be for a bit. As of Saturday evening everything has been running fine on every computer I use. (That's three at three different locations).

Bill- I may play with it in again this evening.. I just know that Brandon has posted about it and is working on it. Seems like there are issues he's fighting with it and I'm not the only one experiencing it. Two of the computers are XP though and one is Win2000. Thanks for the tip though! Jimmy in NC

The wierd thing is this is happening for me in two different locations (work and home) which is two different ISP's and three different computers. I dunno.. all I know is it's a lil frustrating that someone would mess up a ...

Issues with Johnnypopper.com message board.

I know this isn't really a technical site but I was wondering if anyone else is having trouble consistently getting into the new board at johnnypopper.com I know there are several people here that frequent both sites and I think the two compliment each other. I just can't continually get into the ne...

If the tractor was parked b/c of the noise.. be prepared to spend a little money. I haven't found anything that was too terribly difficult on the 420 I am working on.. just a bit heavy sometimes and can be a little expensive. Other things I would look at is the condition of the undercarriage. That i...
