thanks jim,, i gave up, the quills wouldnt move so im going to leave them alone. i checked the trans level and it is full and not leaking by the seals, this machine needed clutches because they were rusted. but nothing was leaking,i wanted to put new ones in, i bought them from lavoy hoping that it ...

im trying to replace the seals in my 420 dozer but cant get the quills to move, i removed all 6 bolts,put a steel rod into the spare hole that looks like the brake rod would go there if it was on the other side. i have used a air chiesel with a ball joint seperator on this rod with no luck. i have c...

these little tractors are great! i think the 110 was the first in the line to have hydrostatic drive. i have a 322, and a 430, both have 3 cylinder yanmars, the 322 is gas the 430 is diesel, i have made a cheap 3 point hitch for the 322. i use it to pull a york rake. being hydrostatic sure makes lif...

hello lavoy, i just recieved the parts that you sent me, now if you can find me a spare pancrease mines junk, i just found out when your triglyerides reaches 2200 that crap hits the fan in a hurry, i guess if i dont take the little pills they give me than im going to need the dozer to dig a six foot...

hello dan, i wish that i had a lathe also. i can understand working on other peoples projects, in this day and age any job that pays is great news, keep us posted on the progress, im slowly working on mine, someday ill finish it.. see ya. Eric

thank you lavoy, i will call wednesday and order the seals and gaskets if you have those to. hopfully you can throw some ambition in the box also,, thanks. Eric

thank you lu47dan.. i will get those parts orded i really dont want to pull it apart again if i can help it, i even went for the metal clutches just in case.. what ever happened to your project? i seen it on you tube as part one but havent seen part two..my dozer has taken a backseat to thomas the t...

hello, i just put grease in the ball bearings, all new springs and throw out bearings and tubes in my 420. i was going to button it all back up when i read on here about seals being behind the quill, what holds the quill in after unbolting it? and what keeps gear oil from the rearend from leaking by...

hello, that sounds like a good deal to me! i have some friends that have bought these in about the same shape or worse then yours, they have fixed these to running condition with very little money and a lot of tinkering, the clutches seem to always be stuck, they have taken them apart sanded the rus...

hi jeff,, i have new metallic clutches, throw out bearings,brakes,bearings,seals springs and tubes, i have taken the part for the throw out bearing apart, greased the three balls up and replaced it with new spings. where are the seals? do the tubes slide into them? i must have overlooked them. i bou...

i didnt check the shape of the bearings, now i guess well it is apart i will put new seals and bearings in. i hope the axle doesnt need welding like some of the ones ive read about on here. to many projects not enough time.. Eric..

hello, i just went thru the same thing on my 420,on the back side of the axle there is a cover held on by two bolts, when i took this cover off i could see there was two bolts that was ready to fall out. i dont know how they became so loose other then wear and tear, i tightened the two bolts and the...

the fact that this motor runs good in the summer tells me that the valves are fine, you can take the rusted manifold off and throw it and it will not change your compression, exhaust manifolds can be a factor in making torque or horsepower but wont change compression, take any good running engine in...

hello ben, i dont think that you have sticky valves,if that was so it wouldnt run any better in the summer vs the winter. it sounds to me that you have a carb issue, in the winter you have to choke the engine to give it extra fuel, not so much in the summer. you dont need to warm the engine i think ...

boy you made short order of that job! looks great, by the way could you put a tree stand in the tree to the far right for me!! welcome aboard.. Eric
