JDcrawlers Messageboard

Hello, Thank you Jim for the reply. I have not done anything with the crawler since the last post as I have been busy with other projects. I will make the clutch and brake adjustments per the manual. Hopefully in the next few days. I looked on lavoy's site for a possible oil pressure gauge, seen the...

Thanks for the replies. I hate searching for parts. I hate buying parts.

Buying is easy, I like buying the parts, it's the paying that I hate.

Ok, I disconnected the brake linkage from the steering levers. With the crawler in gear forward or reverse, the crawler moves as it should. Pulling the levers back has no affect, both tracks continue to move. Question is are the steering clutches engaged with fluid pressure or the lack of pressure? ...

Good morning all, when you adjust the steering clutch levers for travel, where do you make the adjustment? the linkage between the lever and spool on the control valve are fixed. I removed the spools and they both look good, it would appear that the oil flow to the clutches is not being blocked to s...

No I was distracted working on another issue.
I painted it ford blue I didn't like the black.
And I had the blue and didn't have the black.

Charlie3939 is me.
Hopefully I'll get better

Thanks for the reply. The gauges I received have the pressure tubes, they're not electric. I purchased a kit on ebay that said they would fit a 450c. I might end up buying more gauges. I would rather have the electric gauges. I should have asked the seller what type they were. The manuals are not as...

Hello everyone, I am looking for the gauge sending unit location on a 450c. I have all three manuals, maintenance, parts and operation. No help? I removed the gauge panel,cleaned and wire brushed to bare metal. I painted and mounted new gauges except oil pressure. Still looking for a suitable gauge....

Where is the engine oil pressure sending unit located on the engine?
I have looked in all 3 manuals I have and can't locate it

I have uploaded some pictures, with more to follow

Thanks for the info. So do I have the dry or wet clutch? I haven't looked inside.

Thanks for the reply. I have the technical manual, tm 1102 With the parts manual model # 450 C A ser# 201788T From the tag attached to the machine. That's good news that I will not need to align anything. I am hoping an adjustment will make it steer better. I watched a u tube video of a rebuild clai...

Hi all,
I might be replacing the steering clutches in a 450c track loader. Where would one find a pilot shaft to align everything before attaching the pressure plate.

A track on my JD 450c came off, what would be the best way to get it back on?

Thanks for the reply. I used the tape making sure it was 3-4 threads from the end and its working well, no leaks.

Charlie.
