JDcrawlers Messageboard

Season's Greetings.....As a few know I have been rewiring my 1983 450C crawler/loader over the past few weeks. I have come to a block after attempting to rewire the Neutral Start Switch ( I have the tech. manual and service manual for the crawler and have been following the electric schematic to the...

I'm trying to replace a few extras (a little at a time ) on my 450C. I have both the tech manual and the parts catalog /manual...but neither has any info on this. If I have missed the page(s)...Please let me know where they are. If I am right, and there is no explaination...Please give me some insig...

Thanks for the replies my friends. The pyrometer I'm trying to install is for the transmission fluid. Apparently from the local JD dealership...it's supposed to screw into a threaded "plug" on the side of the transmission box (where ever that is..) he really couldn't help me more than that over the ...

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE THE PYROMETER PLACEMENT GOES ON THIS MODEL. I'M REPLACING THE GAUGES ON MY CRAWLER, AND THE NEW GAUGE ATTACHES TO A FITTING THAT APPARENTLY SCREWS INTO THE TRANSMISSION CASING SOMEWHERE. CAN ANYONE HELP ME??? THANKS IN ADVANCE.... PETE

Hello again to all...Haven't been on the forums in a while so this is a good thing !!!! Crawler is running great and strong. Could someone have any idea where I can obtain a Pyrometer for my machine. Mamma lists the part as #: AT37409.....Also I'm in need of the light switch part #: AH85260. Any hel...

Hi Levoy...No...I haven't tried "Momma" yet, but I guess it'll be my next step...You know how they are though..."That'll be your right arm and left ear please !!!!!"...Yes Momma...right away Momma. Anyway, I'll give a few more salvage yards a try, then I'll go over to my local dealer. Can you get me...

Hello Lavoy, I was wondering if you could help. I have my 9550 backhoe attachment that just got delivered down the lot. My 1983 450C crawler/loader is equiped with the 28 GPM pump , so I should be in good shape. I've been able to locate alot of the plumbing parts for minimal dollars at salvage yards...

I'm looking for what's called a PulpWood Log Loader for my 450C. Does anyone have any information on where I can get one...or a reputable fabricator/welder who can put something together for me. I guess I could price them from "Momma", but I'm thinking way out of my ballpark. Please keep me posted. ...

Thanks Again for the info....I'll give that a look. She seems to be OK for now. Keep up the good work !!! Peace, Pete

Good evening all...hope DigItUp or someone of the like can help. I was just down the land today and under a bucket full of "tailings"...my crawler just stopped!!!! Lowered the bucket down....took a few seconds and a few "$@!**%*$#@^%*$# " ...then tried to restart the old girl (it's a 1984). She star...

Hi Lavoy, I just received my 450C at my lot over the weekend, and boy do I love it. My younger brother is a Local 4 operator, and has been showing me the safety, and proper operation of the equipment. I really need some help replacing some of the gauges I have on the machine. I need a new hour meter...

Thanks for your help...I didn't realize Lavoy was that involved ...What a great resource. I will contact him now. Thanks again... Pete

Good Evening All...Got the Crawler down the lot over the weekend, and just learning the "work" from my brother who's a "Local 4" guy...he's my brother, but what a great operator!! Anyway...I'll be needing a few new gauges for the machine, and looking for the best priced (and quality) aftermarket sto...

Will a 9300T backhoe attachment fit onto my 450C crawler / loader (serial #: 450CA - 381731T). I really want to stay away from the Rotary Vane Swing Cylinder type and keep close to the Tandom double action cylinder type. Any thoughts ??? I know the replacement parts will be alot more expensive for t...

Thanks for your help KenP...This was very helpful, and wise thinking. I will start looking for the toolbar attachment right away. I agree this will make the process easier. Thanks Again... Pete
