When I get into hard dirt with my 450c it seems to pull the blade down and make a big divot then it is like a ripple effect your tracks get in the divot and it makes another divot very hard to correct. Just wondering if these dozers should have a weight on the back mine has nothing and it feels kind...

The trans filter screen is on the right side if you are sitting on the dozer. It has a round cover with three bolts holding it in. If you get down and look between the tracks right across from the big track spring it is on the side of the transmission. I just finished painting and restoring a 450c I...

Put a pressure gauge on the transmission and this is what its doing. When it is cold the dozer shifts good in forward and reverse. The pressures are running about 155psi in neutral at about 1800 rpms. After it runs a while shifting into reverse gets sluggish. It takes it a while to shift into revers...

If not can I just get a sender and guage kit from the auto parts store and use it. Im not quite sure what temps these transmission are suppo...

Hey everybody Im new to the board just had a couple of questions i figured some of you guru's could help me with. I am in the process of rebuilding a 450c. There are a couple of places where the blade lift assembly mounts that have pins. The holes are wore out even with a new pin they have alot of s...
