Okay I know this is a stupid question but it has to be asked , Since I have to rebuild both final drives on my 420 , pull the center frame to get the clutch pedal and brake cross shaft freed up , fix the lip that the idler sets on on both sides of the crawler , and repair the one side frame cross member mount (lose rivets) . There won't be many pieces left to remove to do a "good working" restoration on the crawler , so the question is WHY NOT ?
The more I look at it the more I find wrong with it that just needs a "FEW" more parts removed to get to the problem , so I have decided to do the work that needs done to make it reliable to use around here and may to take to a future Pioneer Steam and Gas show http://www.little-mountain.com/pioneer/ . The show grounds are not far from my house .
Anything I should look while tearing the crawler down ? Dan

Depends on how much work it is to get back to the parts that still have issues. If I took a final drive off and found a cracked clutch housing I would definitely replace that. But I wouldn't start replacing idler bushings because I broke the track to do final drive work, since it doesn't take long to break the track again at a more convenient time.
