Hi,
If it had a differential, both tracks would still move. Just one would move forward and the other backwards when you moved one manually.
When you steered, with brake only and no steering clutch, one track stops and the other speeds up. Disconcerting. I had a Terratrac like that.

Re: 440 tractor power steering belt
Hi,
Well, there is the Accu-Link belt scheme. I have used those many times in situations such as this. Harbor Freight carries them, of all places.....

Re: jd420 pics
Hi, Well, the 420 didn't have a stock reverser. That was an option. Looks like your original owner didn't opt for one. So, you have just the regular center frame. And the long propeller shaft. Unless you have a reverser frame someone gutted and put in the long propeller shaft. That's pretty common, ...

Re: JD350 Loader Radiator remove/replace
Hi,
Down at the bottom. Remove one on each side and it tilts forward. You can then pull the radiator. Worked that way on my straight 350. I never needed to do a radiator on the 350C (so I hope they didn't change how it works).

Hi,
True. All the crawlers begin assembly at the transmission. Have troubles there, everything else has to come off first.

Re: Batteries
Hi, I buy Exide or Gould. The ones at the Deere dealer are made by one or the other, but I can't recall which this morning..... Most auto parts store batteries aren't constructed to take the vibration. Cars and trucks having suspensions. I just buy from Deere. They always have the right group, they ...

Re: New Shirt
Hi, We have a shirt printing business. What happens is you get to sell some for a while. Once the copyright owner notices you, you get a very nice Cease and Desist letter. And then you very nicely comply and that is that. If you don't, well then you make the lawyer who sent the letter very happy. Th...

Re: Gold Rush had an old JD pushing snow
Hi,
I saw that as well. I pushed a lot of snow with my 68 350 and outside blade. They make for a great snowplow.

Re: where does the spark go?
Hi, New coil you say? 12v one? Was the old one an original 6v one? If so, did you remove the resistor? If not, then you will have enough high voltage for a direct coil to plug connection but not enough to make it thru the rotor and cap. I have seen this before. Found by using a Hi Voltage probe (whi...

Re: 440ICD Track shoes on backwards
Hi, I think it won't matter if you don't work it hard. And there are lots of things to bust on these old machines if you work them hard. If you are in softer dirt, then the pads act like shovels, as the tracks tend to spin. If you are on firmer dirt then there is more force into the bushings because...

Re: 440ICD Track shoes on backwards
Hi, In forward, the force is on the first two teeth. In reverse, the force is on all the teeth fairly evenly. In forward, there is greater force because there is greater load. Unless you are just going to drive it around at shows and not use it. Then it won't matter. As they are now, more force tryi...

Re: 440ICD Track shoes on backwards
Hi,
The idea is you will be putting a lot more force into the chain going forwards than backwards.
