Re: Batteries
Price wise, no one can touch Rural King battery prices if you have one near you. They sell a 1100 cranking amp battery for $125. I just priced them last week. Most places want $200 for a battery of that cranking amps. I only have one 1100 cranking amp battery and I manage with no problems on my 450...

Re: Batteries
Well I checked with NAPA, same as my 12 year olds, and they have a 'spend $100, get $25 off' deal on their website, so I suppose I'll give them another shot. As for shock and vibration, these old gals have sure had their share. A few years back we had to defend from a fire, a week long adventure of ...

Best regards, Jim Thanks Jim, these are NAPA's currently, but spoke to a friend/mechanic who said they are not l...

Where y'all finding the best deals these days? Can't believe I've got 12 years off the set in my 450G. Went to start her yesterday, could tell some of the ooomph was lacking in the colder weather. This pair is individually rated at (up to) 1100 CCA, but imagine I'd be OK with pair of 1000's - maybe....

Re: 450b
Short of removing the tank what’s best way to clean it out ? Had water in contaminated fuel once. Got dozer positioned where angle was correct for fuel to concentrate in the corner below fuel cap, siphoned out all I could.

Re: Dry steering clutch idea
I Had asked this question a while back and if I remember correct someone had replied that this was not a good idea because it puts pressure on the clutches and weakens them.

Was given an old Ford water truck with a V-8 planted in it. First time to hit start it bent half the pushrods! Worked the valves with the brass hammer and lot's of penetrating oil, finally got them moving.
