I might have missed it but I didn't see anyone mention getting a gauge for ajusting the pressure plates

You only need to raise it about 4 feet I don't think you should have any trouble with that it is more stable on the floor but if your careful you should be all right like they said heavy angle secured will hold it make sure you have some one holding the valve in the up position as you raise it up

At least they look pretty good and I know what you mean about releaving stress from work my wife and family thought I was crazy and had to many until I bought a plow off a guy in ILL. and went to pick it up and he had about 15 to 20 nice crawlers in a barn and they said I didn't have a good start ye...

Take the valve cover off and check to see if any of the valves are stuck

I took my mc and springtooth cultivator over Sunday could have had free tickets but don't have the time to go will go over thursday after it's over to pick it back up.

Join the crowd I work on one of my projects then some body needs something done and I do it and come back and work on something else once in a great while I get one of my projects done. I just fixed a bobcat bucket for my brother that took longer then I thought and need to get some things done for t...

Thats a pretty big stump to be pushing out with a 440 you must of worked her pretty hard looks good

Are you pushing the lever forward or pulling it back towards the seat if your pushing it foward something is really messed up like Lavoy said but if your pulling it back then look down in the housing and see if you can ajust the throw out bearing.

Kinda looks like the one in the line up at our show. LOL That is a nice machine

do you have a 3 point that would have made some interesting pictures

That thing weighs about 10,000 to 11,000 pds and if your going up steel ramps you want to be level and not to steep even then it can be as exciting as ride at the amusement park. Would bolted on top of the ramps helps as long as it's not wet. I was in a bad spot once where the ground was unlevel and...

I had plowed it in the fall with the dozer and it was to wet to be working it so I was just trying to level it out so when it dried good I could just run the tiller through it I made the mistake of burrying the spring tooth harrow last year when I thought it was dry enough but it brought up wet dirt...

No it was at our local show the Maimi Valley Steam Show in Plain City Oh.

pretty decent looking dozer was that at an auction or a show if it was at an auction how much did the 430 dozer go for
