jd420 loader gas w/scarifier

[dtoots1]

Am going to check out both the 440icd and 420 gas...both are loaders...420 also has scarifier on it...wonder if y spare carb off 440 will fit 420 as it is already to go

Well i got to take a look at he old girl, pins and bushings look pretty good engine moves with a pry bar,...seat gone mount bent to hell n gone, front idler spokes every one of them appear to have been broken and welded, however he does have extra idlers to go with it.

also 420 dozer tracks and shoes..which i wonder will they fit on 440 icd ??...also have spare 420 sprockets and will those fit on 440?...outside now muffler covered but was stored in barn for umpteen years...weight i guess at about 8-9000???? still 6 volts

440icd is sad needs pins n bushing, maybe sprockets, starter...radiator dry, tranny oil..nasty, air cleaner plain nasty with oil over lips and seals..

By the way any chance of changeover on the track adjusters on the 420s to the hydraulic adjusters???
And how many track shos on 5 roller 420...35 or 36?

And dumb tractor data doesn't show the 440 serial numbers...440icd serial number 453475 date????....Makes this a 1958..2 years older and deeper in debt pins bushing etc etc

420 tracks will fit, but are short.
Sprockets may fit.
No, no way to put 440 adjusters on a 420.
Serial numbers are in the FAQ's section.

So that info.. 420 short on 440 would seem to indicate that the number of track shoes would be at 35 and not 36 like on the 440

[Lavoy]

Correct.

Well we got the old girl home..loading was not bad...but i had put her in gear for the ride home got late and dark waited for a.m. coooold and she don't like it....moved shifter and tried to move it...no go at all..so got torpedo heater out 15 minutes of that and little sunshine...moved shifter and pulled with come along and she rolls...get er back enough and tilt and off she comes...now if i only had garage cleaned and room!!

Any you folks got a 420 manual handy...looks like will need one..by the way is a 90 loader.havent found i.d. on scarifier

Well folks am a bit curious now...my left brake lever seems to be completely loose as in something disconnected or broken, have not even had chance to look underneath to see if anything visible there as yet, but from my 440 days i do not believe much of anything a gonna be visible. So it seems gona be a bit of work here -- probably in the brake finals. did get the starter out and to be fixed will p.u. in a.m. so i can see how she turns over and blow oil out of spark plug holes...if turns over, can turn with pry bar so hoping to get some results...

By the way, bought a new laptop, blamed thing has something called s mode....which will NOT let me open jdcrawlersite, so am stymied with getting pics uploaded...Just a head-up to ya'll....lovely of microsoft b.s....only wants ya to buy their products and apps
