420c update & ?

Post by lowboy » Mon Oct 31, 2005 9:11 pm

Hello everybody
Just took my head back for the 3rd time
I (we) missed a bolt broke off deep in the water manifold mounting holes :oops:
It's raining so I'm out of the pasture :lol:
I was cleaning crud and looking at the top of the final drive brakes
I put a long bar in the right side sprocket and felt a resistance then a pop
This is the side that "locked up"when I drove her before I bought the old girl I thought it was the clutch because she would not pull in high gear
I think it's deeper I planned to get into the turning clutchs any way as the tops had bolt broken off and I lost part of one any way
Is there anything I need to know about this procedure
My cat d 2 I had to have a 8 ton puller Will I or do I need anything like this

You really don't need anything special to pull the final drive. If you can lift with something, the lifting ring shown in the service manual is kind of handy, but I have used a chain as well.
I should have my phone on at least. If you are coming up, let me know and I can check my schedule further.
