thx for the quick reply...the plate is missing BUT the crawler u pictured is it.....looks the same anyway, could u post some more pics for me to look at? It came with a scoop but no blade. It has a heavy steal grill with horizontal louvered bars, two pedals that engage together? It has the same track as the crawler u posted. The extra head with it has the casting # M1768T. Its a 4 spd + reverse....is there anything i can tell u to help ID it? thx Aaron

Dewy-
If you could get some pictures it will help more than me posting pictures of my machine.
Others on the board with more experience than I would probably be able to look at the pictures and tell you more. Remember the MC, 40C, 420C all were really close in appearance... especially at a distance.

One thing I can tell you is that the two pedals are NOT supposed to work together. the left is the clutch and the right is the brake. They work on a co axial shaft (one inside the other) and frequently seize up. PB Blaster squirted onto each side and then trying to work the pedals seperately may get them up seized. I put the Blaster to mine on a regular basis to keep them free. This is a very common problem.
