JDcrawlers Messageboard

Can't remember the total but the oem jd parts are high. I had to replace a gear that was expensive. After market parts are your friend. Look at broken tractors Web page for some parts help. That where I got some of mine from. U can get most all the bearings from a good bearing store. I bought all hi...

Stacy, not sure this will help u but I had metal in my trans filter when I cut the filter open. I took the top off of my trans and found a bearing completely gone. The gears had picked up some metal and messed up a few gears. I did a complete rebuild on my trans. All new bearings, seals and broken p...

Thank you DrLoch for your help. I had a difficult time getting the 1/8 pipe plug out also but after some hours I got it out. I've got a gauge setup ready to test the pressure tomorrow. Thank you for the detail instructions. let you know what I find out.

Is there someone who is very good on straight 450 crawler HLR trans on here? I have some questions about my trans. I replaced the drive clutch, steering clutches, input clutches, manifold, all the bairings & races oil pump and seals in the trans. When I am pushing the tracks will not spin. It tries ...

Thank you Lavoy

Can I pack the bearings in the transmission in grease when I put them in? Some of the bearings are not submerged in oil just splash oiled. Will the grease on the bearings hurt the new HLR clutches in my trans? Would it be better to use white lithium grease? I had a bearing completely destroyed and I...

Thank you Bryce that was my next step I thought I would see if anyone know
a place where I could still get one before a built one.

I'm looking for a gasket for my john deere 450 crawler. JD said it is not available through JD anymore. DO you have an idea of where I can get one? The number is T20774. Tractor sn #T5E3M101119T I'm trying to rebuild my trans. thank you for your time.

update: I was able to remove the gear from the pinion shaft. I had to cut the gear into. A bearing came apart and the bearing debri seized the gear to the pinion shaft.

I need a little info from someone who has removed the pinion from a 450 crawler before. I am having a problem removing the gear behind the first thrust washer on the pinion shaft. I have the thrust washer moved forward and the gear will not slide forward. Any ideas? Thanks

Thank you Steve. I've got a jd service manual. I though some
One might have run across this problem before. I'll get started
I may have questions. Thanks again for the help

I have a straight jd 450. serial # T5E3M101119T. I bought this thing as a basket case and put it back together. It has a new engine, new drive clutch and new steering clutches. I ran it for about a day and half pushing up stumps. It ran perfect with no problems. It would spin the tracks with no prob...

I need to replace the steering clutches in my straight jd 450. Where is the best place to buy quality aftermarket steering clutch kits?
