I would have to find my book to be sure, but about 9,250lbs pull, first wrap, full throttle. That is about what the book says, in my experience, it will drag a 5 roller 420 with a 62 blade across the yard with the engine idling and about 6 wraps of cable on it with the blade down, and the tracks loc...

The winch is an 8G, the brake lever is removed from the winch, but I can see the shift lever.

Coming soon, new reproduction skid shoes for 62, 63, 64, 602 and numerous other blades for 40-450. I have all the pieces cut, and will be assembling this week.
Lavoy

Should have some more new parts in next week.
New master shields
New PTO's
New dash lights
New muffler clamps
New 430 manifolds
and more.

How come on those type of shows we never see them trying to take out all of the rusted bolts that broke off? I don't think those guys would ever make it working on crawlers.
Lavoy

To any of you guys that have gotten the RH removeable battery door for your 440 gas crawler or tractor, and are having problems fitting it, contact me. I think I have discovered one potential problem with the door. You can send me your old one, and if bad, the problem will be corrected or the door w...

I sell them if you are interested.

Bill,
Just checked the valve number before I got on here, they are the same. I talked to one guy this morning, and he did not have anything.
Lavoy

I do not believe that the valves are the same, but I could be wrong, parts book will tell you for sure. There were a lot of 1010's made with the dash valve, so it is doable, just need to find the valve and/or linkage laying around. I will make some inquiries and see if I can scare anyting up.
Lavoy

Okay, here's my two cents, and worth every nickle you paid for it. You are restoring a relatively rare crawler. Spend some time lookinf for a dual valve and linkage from an early crawler and see what you find.
Lavoy

Correct hoe would a #50 or #51. I doubt you will ever find the mounthing brackets and all of the other assorted pieces that go along with putting one of them on a 420. Even if you did, you would hate it. A 440 is unstable at best with a hoe on it, and 420 would be almost scary, not to mention the in...

If it still has the original S series pistons, on a cold day it may never start without ether.
A little bit of water in the pan did not hurt anything cranking it over.
Lavoy

No they don't, the trackframe is different.
Lavoy

If the steel discs are just surface rusted and are structurally sound, you can get away with reusing them.
The fiber discs when wet "grow" in size and there is no fix for that.
Lavoy

Unless you like pulling final drives, replace them. I know I know, I sell clutch discs, but nonetheless, for the effort involved, it is not worth having to redo it. If they have been that wet, they are damaged at least to some extent. Picture hosting instructions are listed at the top of the show an...
