  • Today on the channel we take some time and try to fix a few things on our Model 40 Crawler - starter, generator and the ignition switch. The goal is to get it starting and charging like it should, with the flip of a switch!

      Yes for sure. I have one I bought and before installing rebuilt motor I was planning on checking steering clutches.

    Because of its size [not too big or little], its strong engine, and its potential, I'd love to see this dozer in a full nut/bolt restoration series. There's an excellent chance that 1] you can either fix, make, or adapt via new tech anything that's broken or no longer available. 2] upon completion it'd still be there for you for another 65 yrs [if the Lord tarries]. 3] during that time you could turn it into a one-of-a-kind JD Crawler with its optional backhoe and "GearMatic" winch. I'd love to watch a series like that no matter how how long the videos were or how many episodes it took. *God bless* guys.

    I had an opportunity to buy a really clean one of these. It had mid level resto job on it. It was clean, and in good working order.
    The guy also had an industrial version of the John Deere 2030, with a front loader, roll over canopy, etc... I ended up buying the 2030, which I used to do some clearing work when we bought our land. And I then traded that for a fully restored 1946 2N with a half dozen implements that came with it. Its a great tractor and I get a ton of stuff done with it. But there are many days that I wish I had that crawler.

      Thanks! I’m excited to get the rest of it sorted out so I can really use it. My entire life the blade has somewhat worked and at best it had one side of the steering clutch/brakes working.

    You can try polarizing the regulator to get it charging. Also if you have the wire reversed on the gauge it will show it discharging when it is actually charging.

    • @dieseJL
      @dieseJL  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yeah I think I just had the gauge wired backwards
