Now that the paint's drying I'm getting ready to put the decals on so I'm looking through the parts manual is said the warning driver your tractor slowly goes on the back of the seat and the other warning decal for the PTO goes on the PTO shield. Ok now I'm looking at the owners manual for the locat...

Lucky to have a three point hitch, I'm jealous. Lol

Thanks Ralph.

Just wondering if anybody knows if the hydraulic pump from a 420 will work on a 440?
The one that mounts to the front and driven off the cam.
Thanks

I was going by a 420 manual figured it had to be close I didn't have a tac or an advance timing light, don't know why after all these years.

Seems to run a lot better now. I did notice while tightening the distributor that it will change the timing if you don't t...

Ok, after running the engine number one cylinder is at 110 psi
And number two is at 105 psi so if it's a came timing issue I would see numbers a lot lower I would think?

Is there a way to set the oil pump timing with out the tool used in the Manual?

Anyway when I got the M he had the head rebuilt but not on so now I've gotten the engine back to geather and have it running, somethi...

Wow
Ok over the transmission case for any cracks.

What's the procedure for using the rivets that comes with the new mounting pads? I've been using machine screws.

Thanks Lavoy
This sigh never gets old, I'm allways learning something! Lol

I've seen a couple of MC's with these, look's to be factory but doesn't show up in the parts manual?
Any thoughts?

As long as you're gears are in good shape I would run it.
Like whiteclipse said it will just pull to one side slightly.
