    D3C engine swap?

    Thanks AJ, ya that makes sense. I've been meaning to stop in one of these days (for the last 6 years.... lol) What do nonrunning machines tend to go for? I'm guessing a touch over scrap weight value? I know, no details on the machine, no one can say for sure. I'm not looking for a ballpark...

    D3C engine swap?

    Hi folks, got a random question for yall. A couple buildings down from where I work is a scrap yard/junk pile and there is a cat d3c sitting out front. It's been there for at least a decade, no engine in it. I haven't checked it out yet, but was wondering if it would be feasible to put a...

    Rebuilding a JD 440C

    Thanks! According to the chart I'm right at 100% worn out. I'm sorta surprised it's not more. I've got a service manual for the machine, but it doesn't go into detail on roller size or rail height. Rails are measuring between 2.980 and 3.050 If I had to take a wild guess I'd say it's...

    Rebuilding a JD 440C

    Hi folks, new crawler owner from Manitoba here. Picked up a JD 440 crawler loader a few weeks ago and have been having a blast with it. One annoying thing is it tends to throw the right track. I assume this means it's rather worn out on the rollers and probably chain. Anyone know what size the...
