Interesting I’m getting no lift off the ground I wonder what could be causing it to not lift I don’t think a pump could cause that? The other cylinders for tilt and angle don’t seam very strong either and very slow movement its not a jerky movement and fluid is full just acts like a very low GPM pum...

My blade set up is like the one pictured here http://www.jdcrawlers.com/messageboard/viewtopic.php?t=4963&sid=93b283400f0666178a69509d185f6e36 on my control valve on the blade up and blade down when you push the lever to make it go down it has a "lock" like a log splitter is that float mode? should ...

Just picked up a 440 but had some basic questions my blade is a 6 way hydro powered blade but I don’t seam to have much down pressure on the blade it raises up when dragging and digs in when pushing all hydro works but very slow is this normal? second question is how do I grease the bottom rollers I...

Has any been able to weld a busted block with the ac cast iron welding rods? my mc rod let loose and smacked a crack/hole in the side

I think my father is on the verge of selling it it lol it broke down just as we was getting ready to work it. Seams its just old and needs to be redone Its hard for him to understand old equipment is like this. I agree with a total overhaul but I don’t think my father wants to put that kind of money...

So I made it to the machinist and he took a look at the valves and said "I'm surprised it ran" The intakes are shot and exhaust had a lot of pits both sets very little margin left. So I need to get some new valves I was looking at them on a few sites and i was wondering if there is a big difference ...

Ok so I tried just about everything checked advance springs different condenser So I pulled the head and it looks like I have some cross fire between the 2 cylinders blackish darkened area between them. also my exhaust valves didn’t look to great either lots of carbon on the seats I could barely mak...

any clues to check would help ill try my best to explain how it runs it starts up like normal no backfire as the engine picks up speed it falters giving it more throttle it falters worse full throttle backfires though carb and sometimes exhaust sounds almost like an airplane in the movies when its g...

No but I will check it more and maybe replace the wire there is a square plastic thing where the bolt goes though is there more to it? also looking at the spark plugs one is dry and firing the other is semi wet but not soaked like a very rich but firing spark plug and its weird i get backfires thoug...

I think I'm going to pull the head on it and take a look at the valves and seats it seams a little low on compression when i cranked it over my hand

update new cap new points same issue it backfires on occasion though the carb and exhaust changed out the carb same thing set timing on front cylinder to dc/spark mark its still very erratic it acts like it wants to run then it sputters out and falters it was a little low on water no water in the oi...

its the same distributor as the one that was in it they look identical and do fit
i wasn’t sure if they changed to a 12 v for later model mc's because i have a early model

I have 2 different distributor bases one might be from a later model is there a way to tell if the other is 12v ? I also tried the old cap and there wasn’t nothing wrong visible with the old cap but it still misses with the old cap the tractor was running fine and i took it up on a hill a decent gra...

I have tried swapping out everything I can think of but one cylinder front or back wont fire with the other one I notice when I put the timing light on the spark moves retard/advanced and not constant on one spot could points cause this issue? my manual burned up in a camper fire is there a special ...
