Seems that hard line that I split is a hard one to procure... I just searched to see if anyone had ever replaced that hard line with a soft hydraulic line and came up with a question posted on this board in 2009 http://www.jdcrawlers.com/messageboard/viewtopic.php?t=4086&sid=393080637216932da4e1851f...

Just a last thought, in trying to drain the last of the crap fluid in the tranny (what didn't already leak out), what do you guys think about rigging a line to the pressure test port and letting the remaining pump pressure shoot it out for me? Pro's, Cons? PS I cant access the bottom drain...hence t...

not sure if the 350 6-way is the same at the 450 loader (suspect its different enough to not be useful) or I'd scan my manual for you, but my advice would be get the tech manual and study the ports and fluid paths... my guess is there is a bypass leak somewhere in the valve that is locking motion un...

Photo Link is bad...

little update here... Went back this AM and put in a few more hours and after cycles of shock and heating, the plug for the pressure line finally broke free. I made some common sense adjustments to the clutch lever to assure the prescribed amount of free play then started it up in neutral to finish ...

After reading my post, I just wanted to clarify one thing....JTRichard, Sorry for the trite reply. I appreciate any input, I wasn't trying to be dismissive or rude. I was simply trying to reiterate the details as I had just gotten done testing the last of my nerves trying to get some results and I a...

I get that, I was even willing to believe that adding fluid up to the fill line could somehow make a difference... I was already questioning the low and frothy fluid...Last post updated that I added about a gallon and it is now at the minimum operating level. Water, though not a good transmission ad...

Ok Guys, I have a few hundred $ and close to a hundred man hours trying to get this machine out of an old friends back yard (he is recently deceased and cant answer any questions)....and now I'm beginning to think I'm wasting my time. I was assured that the machine ran and worked when parked over 5 ...

Little update.... Got my hands on the full manual, but I still have a few questions. This 450B has the HLR and gear lever on the left battery box hump and I cant seem to find where to hook up the pressure gauge. Feels like I'm missing something. Also, It appears that the fluid level in the HLR is lo...

Hi All, I'm Rob and I'm new to the forum. As of this past week my father and I started to try and revive an old 450B with a 4-way Loader bucket and a Backhoe that hasn't run or moved for at least five years or so.....uncovered :( I've been doing some research so I've got a few ideas of my own, but e...
