Lavoy,
What is WOT?

ok now I did it... was swinging an old 420 frame off the end of my 90 loader and she smashed into the alternator and dented the shroud around the radiator. The alternator busted the armater and bent a fin..no biggy everything kept going after a field repair. However the 420 started losing power when...

lol at the economy of the crawlers on this board? My old 420 burns about one gal of gasoline / hour and about one tube of grease every 8 hours...she cost me 5,000 bucks and the parts I recently purchased were about half the cost of 450 parts...seem's like low cost operating to me. my .02 Spooler I d...

I too struggle with a level push. Try going very slow..in fact as slow as possible, to help train your eye and hand cordination. There is a float position for your blade, mine is on my lift control lever, just push it fully forward and it floats there..there might be something similar on a 450..I ha...

She was a pull while in the woods..once we hit the driveway it was 3rd gear all the way to the sand pit. This 420 is used daily so she has many modifications. 10 gal of ga and one tube of grease / 10 hours...can't beat it! Hope this pic link works. [img]http://216.104.73.215/jdcrawlers/pictures/imag...

I am pretty new to the 420 thing myself. You will find many more experienced folks on this foram than me. I run around pulling logs on 50 ac. The crawler easy pulls(1-3) 12"-16" spruce logs about 20' long. She will do this on a grease job and 10 gal. of gas a day. I am blessed with a Mod. 90 Loader ...

I suffer from having a yellow John Deere....I love the color green...
Therefore is it immoral to paint a yellow JD green? Will I burn in Hades?
