Hi, I am afraid you need to pull the final drive and replace the fiber discs. There are threads here regarding various cleaning methods, but none of those really work out. You can clean the steels if they measure thick enough still. And, buy the parts from Lavoy. There are all manner of junk parts a...

Hi,

It can be what I refer to as a Royal PIA. Patience is a virtue here. Soak it with the 50/50 mix of ATF and Acetone then walk away. Next day see if you can budge it. Soak it some more and walk away. Next day.... Yeah. Repeat over and over again. Eventually, you will free it up.

Hi,

IIRC, there is a coupler between the shaft in the center frame and the input shaft of the trans. It must be rust welded to the clutch.

Edit: Or is that only on the 420 and the 40 was different? I'll have to go look at the Parts Catalog later today.

Hi, Road racing mostly. Sports and formula cars mostly. Lotus mostly. And then some dirt and paved oval racing with the Legends Cars,but still mostly road courses. In my book, anything over 1500 pounds is Large and Slow and can't steer. :P But quarter mile doesn't need steering much and horsepower i...

Hi, I have been buying from HF since the days when they had only one location and paper catalogs and you had to order over the landline telephone. I was young then and trying to build up a decent set of tools so I wouldn't have to always use Dad's. But, I had little money, hence buying from HF. It a...

Hi, Yep. The various 152 and 164 engines I have had all loped at low idle as well. even after IP rebuilds and new injectors. The current 174 Turbo does not. But the old ones spanned from 1966 to 1978 and the 174 is from 2008. So plenty of changes involved beyond just the displacement and the turbo. ...

Hi,

Wow. Full height grousers. Something rarely seen around here.

Hi, We have one in the next town, only 4 miles away. So, we hit the Big Time. A McD's, *two* Dollar Generals and now a Hobo Freight! :P My take on HF is, yeah, buy those tools and then when I bust one, go get a Mac or snap-On to replace it, ;) I, too, have an El Cheapo bottle jack press. Have had it...

Hi, The 435 was intended to use the extra power out the PTO shaft. They tended to wear out the ring and pinion gears when that power was used for pulling. That was the same back half as the 420w and 430w. IIRC the 440IC sported heavier gears than the 435 did. I spent a lot of time on a 435 with a 10...

Hi,

Excellent!

By HF, I presume you are referring to Hobo Freight.

Hi, There were essentially three series of changes to the machine between the 40 and the 440. Most of the parts were changed according to the Parts Catalog. The main area for your concern is from the small transmission to the large. The power was increased on the 420 from the 40, then again from the...

Hi, My Dad's 1958 420c had the clutches done when he bought it in 1966. It was used heavily for the next 20 years when we had to do them again. It had been used lightly after than and never needed them done again. It didn't have a hour meter, so I can only go by the number of years. So, a dry clutch...

Hi, A low pressure gun will stop pumping once the bellows seals hit the end of their travel. A regular, high pressure, gun will blow them out and ruin them. The idea is the light No 0 grease (or heavy oil) will push out as you operate the machine and carry the dirt away from the inside of the roller...

Hi,

Fallston, NC is a 3 1/2 hour drive for me. There might be someone closer.

Hi, There is no photo hosting on this site. Not directly. As already mentioned, use another photo hosting site and then link to that. We do have a site many of us use, one that is easy enough to use and is free. Here is a post on how to use that: http://www.jdcrawlers.com/messageboard/viewtopic.php?...
