I have a 90 loader on my 420. Welded on some pins to the rock bucket and mounted some forks...works great.

I hear lots of comments about pulling heads. D you guys use some kinda gasket goo or buy new gaskets everytime you remove the heads?

gcgrant, Have some friends selling out on Willow Lake a float plane lake close in here. Dont forget to check out RedShirt Lake for float plane homesite. Redshirt is near where the new road will be built to tie into the new bridge across Cook Inlet to Anchorage. Lake Hood is way to busy and filled to...

Jimmy, come on up! Wasilla is 30 mile, pretty close. We are always cold and snowy for the iditarod. So Wasilla has the "Home" of the Iditarod, we are the restart location. I live in Hatchers Pass, you might remember it. I would love to visit Montana , someday. I am actually think of leaving Alaska. ...

much appreciated, love the details, much help.

Thanks,

Well now that sure looks like fun to me!
Nice shop, I mean bus. In Alaska we would just run an oil line in from that barrell you have on a stand and Viole' a shop! We have to be fast, only have 90 days without winter.
Looks like your doing a much better job than me!

George, Yes temps in November of this year were -40 most of the month. December gave us lots of snow and warmer temps. We used to see -60 for several weeks but we havent seen that in over ten years. We are gaining daylight now. So I consider it spring. I dont run the crawler because of the temps and...

We have 3 feet on the ground now and expecting another 12 inches tonight and tomarrow. I dont run the crawler in the winter. If this keeps up we might need to fire up the 6' snowblower!

Oh Yea, please keep the pics coming...

My .02 cents, I like to work slow and safe. I will keep the smaller crawler. Yes to ROPS, absolutley. Big job? Big stumps? Rent a excavator, with a thumb for one day. You gotta love a 420 that runs on 10 gal of fuel one tube of grease per day. Get a set of forks and move the tree's you harvested wit...

I get it, I got it and it is goood! Sounds more than fair to me, Lavoy. Your expert advice to me has always been free on this board. The least we can do is be fair with you.

I have no parts catalog but I do have rock guards for a 420, will they work?
shipping may make it impractical as I am in Alaska

chuck

I have a point problem. Could someone please tell which cylinder is the number one? what should my point gap be?

I have a 1958 420 crawler loader 2 cyl.

Thanks,
Chuck
