Great article on Tim Sweeneys home built 60C in this months Green Magazine. Answers a lot of questions.

I use a couple of long pieces of rubber conveyer belt that a local quarry threw out. Rolls up easy. Use it on concrete in the shop, over roads, etc.

Picture of my 440IC with # 24 scarifier on the 3 pt., and # 63 blade. Colors don't match, but don't want to paint the 440 as it is original with less than 700 hours. And the tach does work. http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/u486/papafox1/64%20dozer/IMG_0667.jpg

40C, the muffler can point several ways. Howard, I got the heavy duty option seat from Ted Klee on e-bay. Have the tool bar, but it is still in line for restoring. Pat

Nice looking BO. Looks like the previous owner took decent care of it.

Heres my unfinished # 24. Still have to paint 3 shanks, put them on, and put another coat of paint on.

Had the same problem. Took Lavoys' advice, filled it with water, and in less than a week, it turned with a crescent wrench.

She will probably be a "machine shed Queen" Will drag her out occasionally for local shows. Think Ted Adams archives show only about 114 of these made. Thanks for the comment. Pat

Its' terrible to be so technologically impaired, but here is a pic of my electric start lindeman. Still have to paint and install the flywheel/starter ring cover.

Gordo, the lift arms on a 90 loader, part # J 19959C are 67 1/2 inches long, 3 inches wide and 1 inch thick. Pat

Gordo, are you looking for parts for the scarifier that goes with the 90 loader frame, or for the 3 point type?

For what its worth, I just sold a 440IC at Polks auction. Had new steering clutches, decent undercarriage, bearings in tranny, no smoke-good compression, non professional re-paint, good hydraulics, 62 blade, and 3 point (no top link). Brought $5600.

In my search for shanks for my #24 scarifier, I came across a model 90 loader scarifier, which uses the same shanks. All I have is the shank frame, and attachment arms. No lift arms.
