Maybe I shouldn't use them if there that hard to find?

Thanks Lavoy, that's pretty much what I was thinking.
Do you have a stamped pad, I'm missing one they have the hole in the center?
Thanks Ron

I have several stamped track pads that I want to use for my MC but the mounting holes are ovaled out from running them lose, any thoughts on how to fix these?

I appreciate all the input, and your right Stan there is no filtering on this setup not even a screen that I can see.

I hooked up the high pressure line from the pump on my 40 crawler and had a hose from the suction side of the touch O matic dump into the 40s resivour with only a trickle of oil coming out. I figured it has an internal bypass valve and would circulate through? I used all my weight to push down the l...

Thanks Stan I will see if I have a manuel, never been inside a tuch O matic, first time for every thing.

Looks like the project is taken a back seat for now, I hooked the tuch O matic to the hydraulics on another tractor to see if it works and got oil out the fill,breather cap the arms went up but wouldn't go down now matter where I put the leaver?

Just came across this, I think this is how Stan has his.
I think this is how I'm going to do it.

My 40 crawler had a Braden winch mounted to the tabs on the clutch housings, I'm wondering if I use...

Any thoughts on the final drives handling the weigh of a four foot bush hog?
Still thinking lol

Thanks guys for the info, I'm starting to rethink the idea, not that it's a bad thing you've all made good points. I figured were I have the rock shaft that I would try and make the crawler more useful.

I have a four foot bush hog that I would like to try hope it has enough power, I use it behind a 22 hp Kubota now.

Thanks Gus yours looks good, gives me some ideas. What do you use your 3 point for? I happen to get a M for parts for the MC and thought I'd do something with the rock shaft.

Lavoy, yes I'm not going to use the crawler hydraulic valve, just the pump.
Haven't put a lot of thought in the top link mount Yet may be after the belt pully is on I can use it's mounting bolts also.
