JDcrawlers Messageboard

Nice crawler. Nice to see one that clean.

I run Autolite 216's in mine. I mentioned, I stay away for Champions.

Just to let you know, it was a peice of cake. I didn't get to try out any of the suggested methods even though I showed up in the Boy Scout way with a truckbed full of blocks, boards, grease, pry bars, big honking come-a-long, chains and another strong back. The fellow had a little skid-steer and pi...

You're assuming I have only one.

Thanks for the ideas and advice. You guys are great. I'm going next weekend to get it. I'll take a varity of the things mentioned here and we'll see what happens. I got to thinking I might jack up the front and back the trailer under it up to the front idler. At least that way it is half on when I s...

Guys, Looking for some opinions/tips on loading a dead crawler that has one side locked up. I have pushed or come-a-longed them on my trailer before but those were free and rolling. I'm thinking I could jack it up and put a 2x8 under the locked up track and then pipes under that to get it on. Coming...

Nice looking project you have there and that 3-point is a real find. Congratulations!

I personally, am not a Champion fan. I use AutoLite 216.

Over time, those decals will bleach out white, I guess from the sun but I've seen that many times. Not sure about the blade, can't see it all. Is that some unused brackets on the back of it?

That should make you a nice crawler.

Green Iron,

I see a NC plate on the Chevy truck. I'm in Charlotte. Where might you be?

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. For the last 4 years, I have had my 40W decorated out in front for Christmas. She's ailing right now and I needed a stand-in. I was reluctant to to put out the 40C as it isn't "restored" yet. It was actually apart in the shop, so I quickly put her back together...

Nice crawler. Looks to be in good shape. Any idea what it was used for in the past?

Merry Christmas to all you guys and gals. Hope this gets you in the sprit of the season. God Bless you all.

I just got a load moved from Iowa to North Carolina. He is out of PA and likes to run in the Central and East/Southeast areas and has a semi-trailer. I think he was very reasonable on his rate, considering the price of fuel. Charlie Shanobrook - Cell # 717-424-8148.

I got two 3 point hitch related questions. Can you get the replacement arm ball ends for the JD crawler (420) 3-point and from who? They look to be a different shape than the ball ends you get at Tractor Supply. Method of replacement would be cutting the old one off and welding the replacement end o...
