JDcrawlers Messageboard

If you have part number or numbers, send them to me and I will see what I can find out. All my 450 books went with the one 450 I had, so I no longer have books for them otherwise I would look it up.

I guess it could be adapted somehow, but would be a real task. Plus, a crawler will destroy tractor pull arms in short order if loaded hard.

40 and 420 may have the same case, it will depend on serial number of the 420, and model number of the 40. At least some of the internal gears are different, and the tractor has a differential whereas the crawler does not. 3PT on a tractor is completely different than on a crawler, almost no parts i...

I have not heard that you need to replace the head bolts on the 2-53, you might want to call a local Detroit shop and see what they say.
Lavoy

420 and 430 are essentially the same thing, tractor or crawler, just running changes as they go up in years. 440 was a purpose built industrial crawler, it did share some components with the 420 and 430, kind of the same thing with the 440 wheel tractors except late gas, and all diesels. All 435's w...

I can check on aftermarket availability, it used to be good. Send me an e-mail if you want me to check and I can get back to you when I know more.

Brad,
I am sure there is, but I do not know what it is.
