Production figures: 440IC-9855 440ICD-6679 Total-16,534 The N series pistons are an update, and are the only pistons available. They raise the compression by about 4 points. The way it was explained to me is that the bore diamater of the 53 series is so small, that too much of the heat generated by ...

I think a lot of the so called problems were lack of maintenance. If a plug fouls, you have to replace it. If an injector gets a little bad, it will still run, and no one bothers to fix it. A big beef on the 53 series engines in general is that they are hard to start, and they are. But, the N series...

Double check that you are not having a fuel starvation issue. I fought a 420 for a long time, turned out there was pieces of tank liner in the sediment bowl passages. Barring that, sounds like you are too lean on the load jet, or float level too low.

The back plate on the 2-53 in a Deere is a Deere built item, and is obsolete as far as I know. As to putting a power unit engine in, it will work, but there might be some other issues. I have seen it done, but normally they have to hack the hood open, don't know if the head is different or what the ...

The 2-53 in the 440 uses a Deere specific back plate to bolt up to the Deere bellhousing. I do not believe that a 2-71 shares the same rear cover as a 2-53. 2-71 is also physically larger than a 2-53, and there is not much room there tostart with. Plus, the additional HP would shred everything behin...

As long as you hook positive to positive, and neg to neg, nothing will be hurt.

Kind of hard for me to believe, but less than 3 months later, we have gained over 100 new members. I truly hope it is because people come to this site and find it valuable enough that they wish to join and/or contribute. Welcome to all the new members, I hope you enjoy the stay.

I think that you probably don't have to do anything. I wonder if you might cause more harm by creating stress when welding them.
If the end of the crack is quite visible, you might consider stop drilling the crack if possible.

Most fun I have ever had on trees is with an 82-40 Terex, 70,000 lbs worth of snort, tipping over Cottonwood tress. In our area, they will make 100' tall. In the right conditions, you could tip the whole tree over. The hole that the root ball would leave was over 6' deep at times, and as big as a 42...

I believe that as long as the cracks are not far enough down to be through the area where the o-rings are, it will not be a problem.

Andrew,
No, I don't, I am short one for my new 420 as well. Not a real bid deal, I won't use the factory top link any more, not when I can break an aftermarket for $50. Only want one so that if I want to, I can put it on for show.

Okay, let's look at this a little more. The seller is in PA, the high bidder as of now has pa in his bid handle, and I know one of the other bidders, and they are a dealer in PA. I think the price on this is no different than the price on the MC that is discussed here as well, BOGUS!

Hyd adjuster were an option, but what he has on E-bay is only a portion of the adjuster, there is no where near enough parts to make it work.
Lavoy

On the 440 they are different, yes.
Lavoy

Yes, they are the same.
