Questions on MC to 440c
Questions on MC to 440c
Hi all; Hope this isn't to long. I have a 1952 MC 75% restored and painted.
It still needs a final drive on the left side. I probably have enough parts to build the drive except for a shaft and hub. This is a family crawler and I want to get her finished as a keeper / user.
In the mean time i have acquired a 420 with a JD90 loader, probably a parts machine, also a 440 and blade that i think i can make a runner out of. Needs ring gear and final drive work.
Most recently I picked up a complete back end (transmission and both finals) for "I am guessing a 40C) the final drive casting # is M3444T.
Now here is the question????
I am aware that most of these internal drive parts are not interchangeable but it looks like the complete drives from a 40 or 420 may bolt on to the "MC". I see I would have to spread the track carriage about 1.5" on each side.
Do you think this is a workable plan or are there other ideas???
Also I have the pressed steel pads on the MC, could I chose the flat "street" pads from the 440 and use them as an option on the MC??
Many thanks,,,,.... derf......

Final drives
thanks for the prompt replies, good to know there are parts out there. Being on the usual "low budget", spread to thin, I think I will try to make the stuff I have here work, when time permits. Can anyone confirm that the M3444T is from a 40C??
Is there any market for a JD 90 loader with 2 buckets and a set of log forks....
Could you please tell me how to post pictures... I saw some good posts with interesting pics.... Keep up the great work.......derf

Re: Final drives
derf, you need to have a photo hosting site like PhotoBucket first. Once you have your account set up, a free account works fine, you need to get a link to the photo there and post it here using the buttons above the reply box.derf wrote:Could you please tell me how to post pictures...

The Img button is clicked on and a bracketed "img" will appear, paste the link next to it then click Img again and a bracket "/img" will appear.
The Navigation Bar is shown in the picture above, the cursor is above the button you need.
And you can see the bracketed image coding between the Nav Bar and the post window.

Re: Final drives
if you haven't figured out to post pics, I have a post in the "Messageboard Q&A and Announcements" forum that explains how to post pics from a third-party host such as Photobucket.derf wrote: Could you please tell me how to post pictures...
