The other option, but more expensive is to put a comfort cover and a heat tube on it, then you will be toast warm in the winter, and won't have hot air blowing on you in the summer. There is a place in Iowa that makes them, I think if Ft Dodge, but I can't remember their name right now. My brother g...

Man, if you are going to post all of the pics with snow in them, least you could do is send me some. 19 below here this morning, and we barely have 3 inches of snow on the ground.

Did you have to remove any vinyl from places it wasn't meant to be after that ride?
Lavoy

That could have been the pressure relief. Sounds to me like you should probably go through the valve and check it out, then set the pressure.
Lavoy

I assume you are talking about a gas crawler with dozer and cam driven pump? If so, right around 1000PSI. Look on the valve itself, there will be a pressure relief screw under a cap on the valve. Be careful that the valve is not bypassing internally and causing your pressure loss. Also, run a straig...

TRouble with a plasma cutter is if the arc deflects, it will cut into the housing or whatever surrounds the offending bolt that you really do not want to cut. Of course, that is no suprise either is it?
Lavoy

Sounds kind of odd, belt pulley on a Lindeman is on the RH side, not the left. None of the crawlers had a front PTO unless you mean it was driven off of the crankshaft, but that would be kind of fast to drive a winch. Get a pic of it if you can, then we might be able to get a better idea.

Okay, most of these are my brother's, but will list them anyhow.

Just in, new reproduction footrests for 420 & 430. These are the later style with the access hole for the mounting bolt. They will fit 40 as well, just will be the 420 style. On the RH side, you will need to re-use your old brake lock tab. I am working on a replacement for it, but do not have it don...

Now available, new brake rods for MC-440. These are the rods that go from the brake pedal to the brake lever inside of the steering clutch housing. Price is $30 + freight.

Don,
If you have the cam pump, stay with it. The crank driven pumps were high volume for running loaders and/or hoes, and would be too fast for a dozer.
I may have a pump left, shoot me an e-mail if you want me to check.
Lavoy

I would have to go with Jimmy too. This is a one shot deal, this rebuild should last you for as long as you own the crawler. Plus, I can think of a lot dumber ways I have shot a hundred dollar bill.
Lavoy

That is actually a measure of how many times you have posted. The more you post, the larger/newer the crawler gets.
If you want an avatar, go to your profile and you can add an avator of a 440.
Lavoy

Sounds like a pretty substantial load of BS. Bearings are bearings, so I highly doubt that they are obsolete. I can belive that some gears are obsolete from Deere, but I have quite a few gears, shafts, and reverser parts available new for the 350.
Lavoy

Don,
I think I forgot that as well, for some reason I thought 420 when I answered you. Not sure what the best way is on a 440 other than what you did. I suppose if you put it together with a new bolt, you could use a longer bolt, and then cut it off.
