They are nice to run but wont last as long as the old Deeres I am afraid and as the Canadian and American dollar are worth near the same the list price is around $107000.00 with most toys this is a far cry from $14700.00 for dads first 450 new If you look on a map I work between centeral lake huron ...

All 53 -72-and 91 series Detroits will run backwords but runing backwords they also run dry in oil sump department.exhaust out the intake is the big-first indicator Digitup.

Tomcat the hydros are computer over hydro 5 miles per hour forword or reverse either track.And yes they will counter rotate like a skid steer and with the computer linked to the fuel rack as well the electronic fuel control monitors RPMs.So down shifting and up shifting is all a thing of the past De...

The 450C was also the first turbo built engine Yes we are into the second series in 450Js just last month small but signifigant upgrades in the computer system and a lot better fuel economy as the computer is field programable by any one that knows anything about computers.The largest improvements w...

I can get you that clutch in new or used .Get me the serial number of your crawler and I will look up the clutch # Ken .Digitup.

Repairs that size can be costly good luck.I just gave up on having old trim dozers kicking around 650G had 7000 hours 550Hs had 6000 hours and 8000 hours I traded 3 dozers for 2 new 550Js this month and the new business stratigy is to trade every two years allready got 480 and 535 hours on them I go...

I know what you mean I needed an other dozer for a contract that I am working on at this moment and foud lots of them with the tracks wore off of them and the owners still wanted the big bucks for these machines One had the tracks wore right off and they wanted top dollars for it I have the same thi...

Any 219 will do even a 239 will fit and is turbo built some 219s are not turbo built The big difference is in the heads-rings and berrings That head should be OK A 219 ag motor is the same basic motor too Good luck .Digitup.

There should some more to the serial number in front of the number It is a 1975 build machine built mid year with the 3-164 engine I think ! earlyer machines that year had the old 3-152 engine with the same horse power though 42 Looks like they used up the old motor going into the 350C build mater o...

You have got a loader build or a tractor build [ crawler dozers are in tractor build] tnothing else in between the change over would be a night mare of a job and some trick welding would be needed A clam bucket was optional in house from deere on the loader And as Lavoy mentioned some one may have p...

I got a diesel that just loves to pull them .My dads old gasers hauled them for years though keep an eye on the transmision if it is automatic as automatics tend to over heat pullin a450 .Digitup.

Only the 350s and that odball 400 had those tracks in later years same rollers ,top idlers and sprockets also A friend of mine had a 400 it never lasted as long as my 350c and did half the work too I dont think the 400s were a great crawler but the UC matched the350s to a T .Digitup.

They never changed the frame right through the 350 s so you should be safe looking for a good used part for that old Deere. Digitup.

David check the chanel frame where bolted to the rearend for cracks also the two large bolts through frame and bellhousing for loose or replacement .Your pins and bushingswill need to be profesionaly turned .My second last PB turn cost $4800 at Deere and the last PB turn cost $2500 and took ane thir...
