Jim B Thank you for link to crawler123 and steering clutch removal on a straight 450...to answer the first fellows reply YES I do have the service manual for the 450 that spells out the procedure BUT usually you find out by the school of hard knocks or experience little things that help. I do believ...

Ha Ha ,,all of your replies ARE welcomed AND thanks to you all...BUT I was only trying to use the search feature on this site/(late model JD crawler). And I realize that I lack todays computing skills. I was looking for info/pictures on what I may be experiencing when I decide to remove a steering c...

FYI...I tried to do a search for 450 steering clutch removal...your programs response was "the words are too common"
I think I was not using what your program was looking for OR. the program was not designed for searches...either way...it IS NOT USER FRIENDLY..
Jost thought you should know....ha ha

Hi Lavoy, It has been a few years since you helped me get the pistons out of the cylinders in my loader...Thanks for that (in case I did not thank you at the time probably 2012 or a little later) My search for steering clutch removal on your site said to call you for a price on new or rebuilt steeri...

I guess pictures can't go directly from the users computer to this forum In jpeg , tiff or png format. Photobucket or Facebook are the only way I assume

I will try to attach a picture of the repair so far

Ken P Thanks for your input I was able to get the rod out with some terrific advice from Lavoy . I have the boom frame supported on a wall of stacked cement blocks so I wouldn't have the thing come crashing down on me. I understand the nut removal will be the next fun thing. There was a lot of rust ...

I was trying to install a hyd seal kit in my 450 loader boom cylinder but couldn't get the rod to come out. The spanner nut and snap ring came off but then the rod guide (the part that the spanner nut screws to) would only come out about 3/4 inch past the threaded part. Total movement outward includ...

Thanks for the excellent pictures. Just wanted to let you know it was very much appreciated. That job is down the road for me but looking at your pictures was priceless..thanks for your efforts. John450

Thanks for the info.I figured it had to do with the basis for time across the planet, just couldn't recall ever seeing or using gmt anywhere as an everyday piece of time zone identifier. Anyway -5 is what I came up with for the eastern standard time zone in the USA. It didn't occur to me that other ...

ok ok gmt-2hrs gmt-5hrs gmt+6hrs ???I give up..what the heck is gmt? what about eastern standard or central or mountain or pacific time not that it is really that important its just that it is an unfamiliar way to identify your time zone location..can you supply a little detail on that item? thanks....

I just solved a problem with oil filling the bell housing to a point where it got into the starter and wiped out the starter. My 450 always leaked oil from the transmission into the bell housing then a few years ago I stopped noticing the leaky trail on the ground but I still needed to keep adding o...

I have 1970's 450 loader/crawler with leaking Drott 4 in 1 bucket clam cylinders. It is next to impossible to find seal kits or even separate packings. This drott is serial #977 and I think it is the earliest version of cylinder design from Drott. Short of dismantling and trying to match the seals i...
