Looking for a 440

Post by locomechanic » Tue Nov 11, 2008 5:57 pm

Hey everybody, I just wanted to check if anybody has any leads on a
440ICD w/loader for sale. It doesnt have to be in perfect shape, just usable, or needs some work. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you! Regards, Sam

Hello All, I just wanted to let you know I bought my first crawler. I dont know if any of you have seen her when browsing the net, it is the 440ICD w/ 831 loader that has been on tractorhouse.com for awhile. It is farther from PA than I was looking, but after doing some calling, I figured she is worth it! She is a 1960 model serial number-458186. I am very happy about it! Thank you all for yor help and support!! Sam

She's HEEERE!!!

Well, she arrived on Thursday 12/11, I took her for a run down the back driveway!! She starts good, drives very good, except it seems the right steering clutch needs adjusted, I have to check it out. You have to pull back very far to get it to respond, and then it only turns a little. It has a pto, brackets for a backhoe, 5 speed tranny, and snow pads. I would like to add headlights sometime in the future. It has the front grill with the 3 large holes for the lights. I have her parked in my garage now, on planks. I parked her inside after a quick run, because it was raining and sleeting, and she just got done with a ride from Indiana. I have to invest in a digital camera so I can get some pics of her and keep you all updated. I am new to all of the crawler stuff as well, so I know I will be looking for advice and sharing things I find too. Sam
