Hey guys trying to find a place to get a remanufactured motor for my skidder. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Greetings,
Try calling J-K Equipment,and ask for Kevin Mason 207*416*3510 located in Maine.
Kevin was a factory J/D skidder tech for 25+ years,and went out on his own around 2000,
I believe.This guy has more J/D parts for older units than any supplier that I have dealt with.
I also have a 540B,and this man knows that machine inside out.
good luck
Thank you, he is very helpful I called him first thing but unfortunately he didn't have anything right now.
Try Dave Swinton on Bay Road in Lake George 518-793-8426.
Jimmy or Jeff MacFadden in Sharon Springs 518-284-2090
Nash Equipment in Colebrook, NH 603-237-8857
maybe Pete's Equipment in Morrisville, VT 1-866-237-3189
maybe RCS Diesel-Ron Chiasson-Ludlow, MA 413-589-0085
There's probably others; someone will add to this list.
G'luck
I know where there's a re-machined block in my town that came out of my 440D. Its been sitting inside covered up in plastic for a year or two. If you are interested, I can send you the number of the guy selling it.

Thank you everyone I see what I can do.
rebuild yours, its not that bad.
Not to change the subject,but does anyone know how a John Deere Skidder axle works? The kind that can be unlocked. Is there Hyd Pressure that locks & unlocks them? If a guy got a good deal on some could they be adapted to say,a older Hydro Ax or Skidder that has Deitroit lockers in them?
they need hyd pressure to look them, unlock does a spring. they can be looked on the go

personaly i'd rather have the old style no spins. but to answer your ? remember that deere has closed center hydraulics and most every thing else is open center. so the plumbing would be difficult as the deere units won't have a return line.
I'm wondering who much pressure is needed to lock it in? And could a relief b put in line or diverter valve? I've run a few shears & Skidders with unlock able diff's & they sure turn fast with less tire wear. But the ones we have are all old style lockers. Just thought it might b a good Spring Break Project(road postings). But maybe them diff's would be more of a problem then I'd want? Haven't had any of them apart. Plenty of the old style. Maybe I'll switch plans back to putting a V653 in a TF C7D? I know of a 7 with a locked up 453. Wonder how a 653 fit in place?👍😎
