I have a 450 with a winch, been thinking about taking it off and swapping for a ripper setup, anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

I've already made some adjustments and it's better, just still need to get that one clutch to release more I think. Weird that it releases in reverse but not forward. Any advice on keeping the steering levers held back during storage? Would that actually help? Having never been inside one, I can't ...

There is an aftermarket solution. I bought it. About $100. Complete replacement of solenoid. Works perfect. Everytime

I have my JD manual and it is clear as mud, I am adjusting my new steering clutch and brakes. the manual says to set he levers out at 2" and adjust the clutch adjusting rod to remove all free travel, does that mean to set the throw out bearing at touch point of the steering clutch pressure plate fin...

ohhhhh wow....... 20" channel locks! I think I just got a tracing of the JD264 gauge. I will look to make sure it is right and then try to figure out if it is ok to post a sketch of it. it is used to setup the steering clutch as well as the engine clutch pressure plates. I can not tell you how much ...

Are those metallic disc's? as for the height take the pack back out and take a good old steel and put it in first and reload the pack and see if the height is about what it was.....The weld trick works great been using it for years when it cools the cup shrinks and as you said will almost fall out ...

my crawler is a 450, plain 450, it uses a different hub and brake drum. also uses different steel disc. The T20717 steel separator plates are often confused with the T31732 plates used in the later steering clutches. To be sure which plates you have in your clutch the thickness should be measured. T...

I got my parts in, the Oring for the quill, I will photograph the quill removal.

also update a few other things, and hopefully reassembly starts this weekend.

Has anyone been in this area? what do I watch out for? I am also going to rebuild my power steering boosters, I suspect both are...
