Anyway a neighbor has a 469 (except for some missing pieces) that looks to be in better shape than mine. Will any of the parts interchange? Can I take parts from the 469 and put on the 479? Sheet metal? Tongue? Just looking at it it looks the same. Monty [Reply]   [No Email]

I think the 469 has a better overrunning clutch than the 479. The 479's stamped, fabricated clutch had a tendency to crack the welds on the timing sprockets, allowing the bottom roller to be driven by the top roller, instead of transmitting the power through the chain. This condition will shorten the life of the rollers and require more horsepower. The gear box is a bit different, I don't think they interchange unless you change the whole side sheet. Get that wobble drive, too, if you can. If you haven't opened it up since '89, now would be a good time to service it. [Reply]  [No Email]
