Re: My 450C in action

I normally do it that way too, but i was holding phone in one hand. The machine is a lot more powerful than I imagined. I really enjoy it and it's very efficient on fuel.

Re: 450C hydraulic pump removal

I have a 450c dozer and a 310c backhoe. They are very similar if not the same engines. My 310c was leaking badly fromthe "pump", found out it was the steel line going into pump..Disconnected line and welded small crack with mig. Hopefully you dont need to remove pump.

Re: Looking for 450c limb risers

My 450c didn't come with any, but I am going to fabricate some with 2 3/8" pipe. It doesn't seem difficult to do.

Nice. I bought a 450c last summer and put new rollers, front idler, sprockets and guard bolts. I ended up painting it as i rebuilt it. Finally I ended up welding up the grouser pads.

Can the j20A or equivalent be used in the transmission as well as in the final drive? I have heard some people use 90wt in finals?

I bought a new aftermarket complete idler assembly for $425 for my 450C from buck and knobby
Toll Free: (855) 213-2825 info@buckandknobby.com 6220 West Sterns Road Ottawa Lake, Michigan 49267

Also I welded on grouser bars on mine, much less expensive than the alternative.

I mocked up a driver pin holder for my 450c so I wouldn't smash my fingers and then I whacked it with a sledge hammer.
