Can't really see enough to tell, but the plumbing has me suspicious.

IF you split it at the transmission, you will have to pull all of the corresponding bolts out of the other side as well. You might be able to get enough flex in the sideframe to get the housing off.

It should have had, or did have weights at one time. Probably in the 1000lb. range.

Tod,
I just e-mailed you the info.

Finally got my shipment of repro headlight for M-420, call or e-mail if you had been waiting or need some. Price is $35/each.

For those of you that had been waiting, finally got a couple of new upper idlers for 40-2010.

Ah, the things we have to come up with to work on these old beasts. Not to mention the industrial size Band-aid box that is required.

The slave cylinder on the top is what disengages the brake, the spring on the bottom engages it. At one time I had a source for new slave cylinder, seems to me over $100 for just the cylinder.

Here is what I wrote on the other post. A hoe crawler has a larger hyd pump, a diverter valve on the back of the loader valve box, pressure and return lines to hook the hoe up, and should have the rotating and elevating hoe seat. Also, even though they look the same from the outside, the mounts are ...

I have a limited amount of used rollers, can get new aftermarket as well.

I do not see how you could operate one without the controller. The clutches are hydraulicaly actuated. I suppose if you could jam the clutches so they are always engaged, and then cut or otherwise defeat the brake band, it might work. You would be able to power in, and then you would have to spin th...

Rob,
It was sold, but the guy never showed up, it is still for sale. It will fit any of the crawlers with the quick tach hoe mounts.
