Re: PTO question
there is an extension on the pto-shaft to make it longer. inside/outside spline. You use an orginial NP shaft. I guess you could use the extension from an older tractor to make it work. I have a shaft for you, but you will need to replace the bearing and seal.

Re: New Project, The Holy Grail, County Super 6
Hello! I´m new here as well. Great Super 6 Steven. I would not change the tractor at all and let the blade where it belongs. I am looking for a front weight for my Super 4 and Super 6 as well. Who is this Rob Morgan? Is it possible to get his contact information or from anybody else who might be ca...

Re: New Performance SM - Lift arms gone up and stays there
Thank you Brian!
I forgot to say, it lifts whatever the quadrant position is. The control valve was stuck - I got it working.
I also fitted a double aux-valve from a Force 4000. Works good too - I have oil on all outputs, and the lift is working.

I have a 230V heater-element in the bottom radiator hose. 2 hours plugged in and it starts up as in the middle of the summer.

New Performance SM - Lift arms gone up and stays there
Hi there,
Working on the Super-4. Hydraulic lift goes up and stays there, even with quadrant lever in bottom position. Aux-valve is not pulled out. I can hear a clicking sound when turning the engine over with starter (pto engaged). Lift has been sitting for ~5 years. Stuck control valve?

Great job! The winch-mounting is different to what we use in Norway. I have a complete duncan cab for sale, with glass, doors and everything.

Re: running a major in cold weather
we always dump a little fuel treatment in ours to keep them from jelling up, the biggest problem is the water. early winter brings on the "just below & just above freezing" that makes everything frost up and sweat, this is guaranteed to leave a substantial amount of water in the fuel, especially if...

No problems. I would fit an electric coolant heater (Norwegian made "Defa" is very good).

Luckily for us, Robb Morgan have cast new front weights for both Super-4 and Super-6 He helped me source a replacement steering clutch drum for my crawler and is very easy to deal with

Re: Fitting PTO to non-PTO gearbox/tractor
Working under a crawler is a major pain the ass... how did you do it back in the days, Brian?? For example when changing oils?
Have to remove the main spring for the tracks to gain access to the pto-gearbox location. This have to wait until spring when I'm painting it

Re: Fitting PTO to non-PTO gearbox/tractor
Thanks, Pat!
I'll keep it as a single clutch. Will change the seals in the pto-box before fitting it.

Fitting PTO to non-PTO gearbox/tractor
My County Crawler Mark IV (1957) does not have a PTO or 3-point hydraulics. It is set up as a dozer, and has a blade in front with its own front-mounted pump and reservoir under the seat (original Bray setup). I recently aquired a parts tractor and want to transfer the PTO and pto-shaft to the crawl...

Re: County Crawler
Here is the failed steering clutch drum. I thought my MarkIV crawler had the multidisc, but I was wrong. This cracked drum is the reason the bulldozer was parked 20 years ago. Guess the previous owner couldnt source a spare one. Robb Morgan hooked me up with a replacement. Bad Drum - Good Drum http:...
