Re: Starting Issue with 450B

No it wouldn't. A "solid click" would indicate NO power it making its way to the starter. I.e., it's not getting past the solenoid. Your starter uses a standard automotive Delco solenoid with a brass contact disk. When it gets pitted - it slams in and makes a "click" but makes no electrical contact...

I bought a starter/solenoid to put in, and have the old one disconnected but was not able to remove it due to access issues. I am wondering if I need to remove the fuel line to the fuel pump to get it out, and if so, how do I prevent it from draining diesel continuously....? Anyone that has done thi...

I was able to hot wire the start for a while, but more recently I only click a click. I bought a starter/solenoid to put in, and have the old one disconnected but was not able to remove it due to access issues. I am wondering if I need to remove the fuel line to the fuel pump to get it out, and if s...

Starting Issue with 450B

So my 450B was starting fine, then one day nothing. I pulled the dash panel off and found a loose wire, which when connected to power resulted in it starting. So, I used that process to start it, and then disconnected the wire when it started. Then that process stopped working, so thinking it might ...

I was going to ask a question about how to check the connectors to make sure I have them in the right sequence. I thought I should also go to confirm what pressure the connectors should open at. So I looked in the online pdf I have of the service manual, and find it includes information on the backh...

Thanks, I have a sight glass for the reservoir an I can see it is in the middle, so definitely not too low. The loader works fine. I would agree that it may be a coupler problem, so I will take those apart and review. While I don't think I did, does anyone know what the impact would be if I had the ...

Does the back hoe need to be bled on a 450B?

I have one of the main connector hoses from the dozer to the backhoe split. During the repair the quick connector was damaged, and as it was old I could not get a match. So I had all four main connector hoses rebuilt with new quick connectors. it is all assembled but there is no power. The backhoe s...

I was going to try to get there tomorrow late afternoon, hoping to get some work done with it. My big concern is that I want to make sure the starter isn't staying engaged when it is starting. I know in a car I would hear it, but am not sure I would hear it on the 450B.

Sorry, we are still struggling to communicate here. The 450B was working properly until just recently: 1. Turn the key on 2. Press the starter button Then the non-starting problem came into existence. I arrived at the point where I am now, that there is a disconnected behind the dash. So a wiring di...
