440ICD/831 Bucket and poss. Reverser

[shinnery]

I just won ePay auction 230175424803 for a "440 track loader" it is obviously a 440ICD with a 831 loader with forks. Think I would like to find a good used bucket (to match my other one). Also by the pictures it looks like there is no reverser lever visable. (Bummer) I am about 480 miles away from it and need to go pick it up before I know for sure. It just might wind up being a parts donor for my other one.
I will have s/ns 449895 and 460196.

Congrats on the new crawler! Looks like it should keep you off the streets and out of bars for the winter.

Well 986 miles later it is home. It is the left steering clutch that is not working and left side is not pulling either. The clutch and brake pedals are siezed together, a clutch on both sides and no brakes. The reverser has been gutted and all operating linkage is AWOL. Nearly half the bolts have fallen out of the track pads or are ready to. Both top idlers will need work, the outer covers are missing. and etc and etc. It will take hours and hours to tighten up loose hardware. But it has possibilities.
