Electron flow vs Conventional Current

I remembered reading some time ago that the belief that the current flowed from the positive to the negative was in error. So I Googled electron flow and found this: "Conventional Current assumes that current flows out of the positive terminal, through the circuit and into the negative terminal of t...

40C--420C parts interchange

Does anyone know what parts will interchange between a '55 40C and a 420? I need a dash and undercarriage parts for a 40C. I've found a couple of 420 parts crawlers on the Internet but haven't went to look at them yet. Would the finals or transmission interchange? Would be nice to have spares. Brian...

Dad's old 40C

Yeah, I don't believe in the supernatural, but it sure is a huge coincidence that I should start looking just a week or so before it is up for sale on eBay. And, when I decided to let it go, my kid calls up and throws some money in the pot. Apparently he was talking to my nephew. My nephew got the h...

It is dad's crawler---bringing it home Sunday!

Thanks for the reference guys. The seller and I have agreed on a price and I'm going up to Whidbey Island to pick it up Sunday, 11/12. The winch was taken off by the 2nd owner after dad sold it (broken bull gear). The current owner has had it for several years and, as I understand it, did the painti...

Thanks guys

Thanks for the reference. I'm trying to arrange a personal look see. There is no winch on the ebay crawler. The blade and cab are identical to my father's 40C.
I don't see a dent in the cab I expected, nor a repaired crack in the transmission case.
I'll keep you posted.

Wanted--Dad's JD 40 Crawler.

I'm looking for my father's 40C crawler. It had a "Seattle Iron Works" blade and a CarCo winch. The canopy had a round top. Last I heard, about 20 years ago, it was in the Port Angles (Washington state) area. Reply on this message board or email me: brianbrehmeyer@yahoo.com if you've seen something ...

Dean, There is no compression release. The year of manufacture sounds correct. There is listing of production dates and serial numbers for the 2010 posted elsewhere on this site. Looking at your picture, I can't see an exhaust stack on it. Could rain water have gotten to your valves? My experience w...

Oil Change Intervals

What are your thoughts on oil change intervals for little used equipment? My 2010 Crawler seldom gets more than 20 hours a year on it. I change the motor and final drive oil in the fall, before putting it away for the winter. Also I lube all the rollers and idlers. Every other year (even numbered ye...

The bolt you removed from beside the grease fitting is a pressure relief valve. Be sure and not loose the little ball bearing under it.

There isn't anything mechanical to keep your tensioner from retracting. Either it is already all the way back, or it is frozen by rust and packed in dirt.

There is an older ebay auction with a picture of the crawler down at the bottom.

280013812046

Is the auction number. Looks like the engine is missing. Pads, rails, and sprocket cover are missing from left side. Finals are there. Hard to tell condition of the sprockets.

Could be filling up with fuel. Could be bad injectors, bad rings.

My 2010 always reads a little over full because the spin-on oil filter drains back into the pan when the engine is shut down.

According to the web sites, John Deere used the same serial number range for 2010 wheeled tractors and the crawlers.

38,000 puts the build date around the middle of 1963.

Medova,
Tracks may interchange. AT 17270 is the part number for the chain; check your 350 parts book to see if they are the same. (Chain is 39 links long on the 2010.) Winch should be interchangeable.
Don't know about bottom rollers or top idlers.
Everything else is different.
Brian
