It is often asked if the chains should be put on the front or the back tires. Here the chains are being put on the front tires of the 440B JD Cable skidder. Schirmer hardwood sale, 3/10.

 I like having the front chained up if only one set is available, why does he not have the sid ecovers on the engin , where they off to check a few things , I would never take to the bush with out them in place , there is just too much to go wrong with a limb going in there   :o :o  It sure don't take long for a limb to find the chain and climb into the pump  ::) :o :-X

He must have taken the side covers off while putting the chains on for some reason. This guy is very particular and careful with his equipment so he wouldn't run without them. ;)

My 440 Doesn't have factory Engine Covers.. I have a Home-made set, but they tend to make it over-heat.. Did the 440 have Engine covers from the factory? I have never seen one with them

    As far as I know they did.
  I saw that the machine was really clean and not abused from the pics, one reason for asking, for a machine that old it sure stands proud.  :)

if for some reason you have a pusher fan you must have the side covers with the holes in them.  some of the b's had pusher fans.

The owners manual lists side covers as an option.

My skidder did not have side covers when I got it but it had the hinges. I once had a limb break off the oil pressure sending unit. I saw what I thought was a black thread coming out of the engine and going up toward the sky.  A couple of seconds later I realized what it was and I shut down the skidder. I did not damage the engine but I had to spend the rest of the day  bagging black snow to clean up all of the oil. I lost about 3/4 of a gallon of oil in a few seconds. I now have side covers.

I Actually have both, Pusher and Puller fans for my 440.. My dad used to change the fans for winter/summer use.. The side Covers i have have holes, but maybe just not enough holes or maybe they need to be bigger.. :-\

Other photos of this machine in the thread shows a black engine cover.

I sure liked those fans that had the blades that you could adjust to suck or blow, depending on the season.  Just reach in, push down and twist the blades to whichever position you wanted.

I like this thread to stay near the top, so I'll throw up a pic of my equipment on a little clearing job I did.

That's a nice Minnesota winter picture. Too bad we all have to switch to our black and white cameras in the winter. It's the law you know.  :D :D
