JDcrawlers Messageboard

CCWKen,

What a great crawler!! Welcome to the club.

Nice little crawler Jimmy. I don't think it will hurt to have the 40 sprokets on, if you have 40 chain on the tracks. If you didn't, I would think it would like to throw the track off. They're a little different pitch.

Neil, Both sides are snow shoes but they are different. They both have the hole in the pad to let packed snow and ice out of the chain. The left side is JD snow shoes. They have a varing height or notched grouser that is either higher in the middle or higher on the ends. The right side has a straigh...

Lavoy, The more I visit here, the more I like it. It does seem similar to the JohnnyPopper board, which I also like. It's much easier to use and those annoying pop ups are GONE!

It will be restored, one day..... :wink: I use it, if I need it. I used it cleaning out a fencerow just last week but it's not really a work machine. I would like to find a ripper for the back. That would really make it complete. I'm a 40 guy but, like you, wanted a 420 (I love that yellow on the ho...

I just got this a couple of months ago. If not had much time to work on it yet. It's a 57 420C with a late 420/430 engine.




Digger

on a 420 if you have the short stub exhaust pipe, Lavoy Lavoy, I don't have the short pipe on my 420. It has a homemade stainless exhaust system, including the muffler, on it currently. Do you have the short pipe in stock? Would I be just as well off to cut the stainless pipe above the hood to make...

For you guys with 40Cs or 420Cs with a JD90 loader..... The crossmember on the loader seems to be in the way. How do you get the hood off without removing the muffler? How do you get the muffler off without removing the hood. Am I missing something on these? Please share your solution to the puzzle ...
