Love your channel. Enormously useful vid. Within the last 6 months I purchased a 1959 Dozer machine and a 1959 bucket machine. Both with the screamin' 2-53 Jimmy engines. Both are pretty solid - good undercarriage, etc. My focus right now is the bucket machine that was sitting for years. Rebuilt generator, starter, new upholstery, new air-filter assembly (scrapped the oil-bath), new exhaust, new battery box, new rock guards in the works, lockout switch and replaced about 20 small broken off bolts - which of course required drilling and removing the old ones or just drilling and re-threading. Now I'm tackling a complete fluid replacement - from coolant to engine, reverser, transmission and final drives. Your video is hugely helpful. I'll likely shoot you some questions in the days and weeks ahead. PS - some vids of the 440 dozer in action on my channel
I restored an MC and now have a 57 420c. Those thin tubes are kind of a nightmare, they can get bent super easy removing and installing the final drive.
Hi Tony, great question! I can send you a picture of that page from the owners manual showing where to do that. Can’t seem to plop that photo in RUclips comments here…I posted it on our RUclips homepage under the “community” button…or you can send us an email & I’ll email that back to you: thepopplepeople@gmail.com
My son in law has a 440 crawler and currently is behind my house and we can't get to the house. The right track will not engage so he can't go straight or turn obviously. Desperate to get it going atleast out of woods to where it can be worked on! Not to familiar with working on it but ANY help would be much appreciated! Thank you
You could remove the inspection/adjustment plate (4 bolts on right side) and see if the clutch is being engaged (adjustment of screw too tight); also, check to make sure the brake band on the right side isn’t being applied. Otherwise, it could be a broken part in the steering clutch, or the steering clutches are worn out. You might have to get another machine out there to tow the crawler back to where you can work on it…good luck! Thanks for watching!
We ordered our parts from Michael at keepemcrawling.com (phone: 402-670-3573). He was very knowledgeable & helpful & had all the parts we needed. Tater doesn’t think there was a hydraulic filter, but will check in the manual tonight. Thanks for watching! We appreciate it!

@@PopplePeople So have you. Too much fun!
Nice piece of equipment! Good luck on the repair, looking forward to seeing more videos on it!👍🏻
Thanks! She’s an oldie but goodie! 🤞 Hopefully we can fix & use this summer!

Agreed!
Hello I was wondering if you could direct me to the hydraulic filter location on my 440 front end loader
No hydraulic filters are mentioned in the service manual. Don’t think this model has 1.
How do you add transmission fluid to it? Thanks.

Theres a drain hole on the bottom of the trans and a fill hole up near the top.

Don’t forget to put sleeve retainer on it when installing.
