That is exactly the same setup as on my 40c

Were does the field get its current when there is a dead or no battery?

I would say if it has an alternator that it wont run with a dead battery, but a good generator will keep it running with a low battery I think

I rivetted a piece of inner tube to the hood and it acts a a rain shield and has worked for over 40 yrs for me

I used 5/8" bolts and 1/2" steel and a large impact socket to let the pin move out and a 1/2" nut as a pusher Once the pin starts to move it comes out readily Hard to explain in print but I am sure you will figure it out

I have just removed and reinstalled both tracks on my 40c and I made up a jig with long large bolts and pressed the pins out rather than trying to beat them, once it was set up it worked well Just used scrap stuff I had laying around and imagination good luck

As for parts I have no advice, but the cable I use on my crawler winch is 3/8" and it works fine, even made up some 3/8" chokers and they work fine also.

Does any one know the dimensions of the EQUALIZER spring, item 11 in parts book, that goes between the 2 shafts in the pinion housing? Mine is missing . Thanks

Thanks Lavoy for the measurements, according to that I am .121 short of full thickness , the steels are .90, do you think just fibres changed would be OK also what are the dimensions of the equalizer spring that goes in to the rear end to keep the axle from moving endwise, it is missing, Thanks

This unit has the 7 and 6 clutch pack, was wondering if someone can tell me what the total thickness of the pack should be, Mine looks in good shape but was slipping , Can a disc be added if more thickness is required Thanks

I am about to find out why the steering clutches both slip when under heavy load, do you have a shop repair manual that will lead me through this job and at what cost, for a '53 40C? Thanks

To the original question, did you ever come up with an answer to the no spark situation or did it lose its significance in the resistance theories Just wondering what the problem really was

Thanks Lavoy, I suspect it would be prudent to switch sides so that they get to wear more evenly beings how they will get more use in the forward direction???

I would like some idea as to what the measurements should be on the drive sprockets so I will know if they still are good or should be looked at replacing, I have no idea what height or depth the teeth should be, Thanks

can you let me know when you get more in thanks
