    977L 11K machine vs 977L 14k machine

    I know we measured where the drive sprocket pieces bolt on and that's a larger diameter there and that place is 1" thick verses about 3/4" or fuzz more on my machine

    977L 11K machine vs 977L 14k machine

    Is it possible to convert a early model 8" pitch to 8.5" within reason?

    977L 11K machine vs 977L 14k machine

    I've got so much to learn... I assumed this was a factory ROPS... I guess that explains why nearly everyone I look at they are different. I just assumed factories were switching them up often. It's definitely 8.5" pitch I don't know what serial number the started 8.5" maybe it's one of the...

    977L 11K machine vs 977L 14k machine

    Yes it may not be a 14x I just know it's newer than the 11K4152 machine I have.

    977L 11K machine vs 977L 14k machine

    I need to ask more questions and I sure don't know what all goes into fixing the final drive. Definitely something I need to research more. They told me the liners would need additional machining so thats additional money too. I just know parts are getting fewer and farther in-between to find...

    977L 11K machine vs 977L 14k machine

    I've known the family who owns it for well all my life the owner he has passed and his children own it now but my grandfather worked for them many years ago... They have no reason to lie to me. I can get the machine for $5,000 delivered to my place 15 miles away. I found an inframe kit for...

    977L 11K machine vs 977L 14k machine

    Pretty good looking machine. Engine locked up on it. Was thinking I'd use it for parts for mine but where not much of the undercarriage will work on mine maybe just buy it and rebuild the engine.

    977L 11K machine vs 977L 14k machine

    My machine is a 11K 4152.... We went back over check this other 977L out. It`s quite a bit newer I`m guessing. It was the 8.5" track rails where mine is 8" and the pads and so on are a little bigger. However the front roller and yoke is the same. The machine I`m looking at has no Serial Plate on...

    977L 11K machine vs 977L 14k machine

    Hey there I just want to start off with saying I appreciate your time. I don`t take it lightly asking you for a little bit of advice. I seen your video of pulling a motor out of a 977L. I have a early 977L it has the K serial number. My front yokes are quite screwed. I found someone...

    Hi there Question... With the track pitch being different.. are the pads different from a 11K to a 14K machine?
