440 IC problems please help!

[Crawlerbrad]

I have a 59 440ic and the other week i got on it after a couple months and went to move it and the left tract would not pull. after getting it in the garage and pulled apart, i found that the main drive shaft that goes into the rear and the other end drives the fiber disc was sheared off also called final drive?. i have not idea when this happened. it ran fine when i parked it. and when i started it up and went to move it i did not hear anything break. but then when i went to turn right the left track would not pull. again i never heard anything break?? what could cause this? a year ago i put all new clutches in both sides, and worked great all summer. where can i find another shaft to replace it. thanks for the help brad

lavoy thanks sounds good but i also need the gear that goes on the end of the shaft that would drive the faber dics as well as the drive shaft. how much are we looking at for the shaft and gear? thanks

[Lavoy]

That I would have to check on, there are two different drive hubs. Do you know what your serial number is?

Levoy Thank your for the amazing speed on the track pin an the other parts I order for my 350. I hope nothing brakes todays, I know where the parts dude is . Thank you Gerald

Lavoy, the serial number is 448076 a late 1958 and i think the part numbers out of the parts book are M2378T is the hub and M1635T for the shaft. do you have the ball bearing and 2 snap rings that go on the shaft as well or do i have to go through JD for that stuff? thanks brad

[Lavoy]

Okay, that should be the early hub. I should have everything on hand except maybe the snap rings. Shoot me an e-mail, and I will check for sure tomorrow and let you know.
