Will the 5 roller guards also work on a 440?

Leroy,

Follow the above link and search for what you need.
If you have access to a good printer you can download the manuals very cheaply and print them out yourself.
I was able to get all manuals for my 440 from this site.
Enjoy your new machine!

Lavoy,

I can find Ford regulators but the quality is horrible.
I thought that you might have a better source.

Jeff,

Check the ammeter as well.
It should have almost no resistance when checked with a multi-meter.

Lavoy,

Would a JD voltage regulator work on a Ford 850 with a 6 volt positive ground system?

Tractors used to be rated by 12", 14" or 16" plows in "average" soils, at the manufacturer's discretion. They never said what "average soil" was. The original JD Model B was rated for 2-12" plows, JD-M, 2-14", 40, 2-16' I believe, 420-430, 2-3 14", etc. Crawlers with their added traction and gearing...

Model John Deere "D"

http://www.craftsmanshipmuseum.com/Kieffer1.htm

The above link takes you to the site of a 1/8 scale model of a 1936 model D.
The video on the site takes a while to load but is worth the wait.
Enjoy. :D

Here in NW New Jersey we have nothing but hard pan, shale & limestone hills. Not the best for equipment, especially if used by loggers or quarries. South Jersey, where I grew up, has nothing but flat sandy soil as far as you can see. Sand is easier when you hit it but it gets into everything. Those ...

NAPA R&O hydraulic oil is a 10 wt oil and works fine in all of my straight hydraulic systems.
It is not for use in combination hydraulic & transmission systems.
Here it costs about $40.00 for 5 gal.

I don't know the story.
It is on a dealer's lot.
They sold it to the victim.
Before he bought it they replaced the steering clutches along with a lot of other smaller work.
The only damage from the roll is the seat, dash and some levers.
They are being replaced now.
They are asking $7,500.00.

Try the above link.
They are a farm & construction machinery salvage operation.
I have seen 440 crawlers both complete & parts in both their farm and construction areas.
They will ship anything anywhere, for a price.

That is not a Deere 602 blade.
Not sure what it is.
Here is a photo of a 440 with a 602 blade.

The "custom" seat is from a roll over that killed the operator.
Other than that the machine is in good shape and for sale.

If its a John Deere blade it sounds like a model 602 but I never saw one with turnbuckles.
Can you post some photos?
