good to hear you got it figured out.

I am guessing you have the TM1102 John Deere Technical Manual, I do not have a copy of that so I can direct you to an actual page. The bushing is in the bore of the housing, and I am not surprised you can't see it. From looking at my 450E manual and the TM1102 index I think you should find the info ...

Crossed lines would do it, Glad you found it. Good luck with your machine.

You may want to consider replacing the bushing behind it. A worn bushing will shorten seal life.

Check out item key #15 in the parts catalog page linked below to see if this is the seal you are looking for.

Pressure is supposed to be about 2250 psi isn't it? When you say deadheading is that when the cylinder stops traveling or does the gauge keep climbing if you hold it in? Do you know if the relief valve was disassembled during the rebuild? Did you rebuild it or did a shop? I it is a shop you should b...

#8 the threaded nipple holds it. Remove the filter, it threads on to that nipple. The nipple has a hex below the filter threads to use a wrench on. You can ask your dealer to do a system search and see if they might locate one someone has setting on a shelf. Also the dealer might be able to find out...

The 450C has wet steering clutches. They are under pressure all the time other than when you pull the lever back to turn. When the lever is pulled back the pressure on the clutch is released. If pressure to the clutch is lost, the clutch releases and the track won't drive. That side could have a blo...

Welcome to the boards. When you say the housing moved with the filter it sounds like your engine has the engine oil cooler that mounts between the filter and block. It likely bent/deformed and you will need to get another. The link below should take you to the parts catalog page with the oil cooler ...

not for nothin but whats a hiem joint?

Here is a link to a Heim Joint web site.

I can't see it. Any ideas from the person that rebuilt it and used a part without the port? If I couldn't find another port, I would look at getting a Tee into a cylinder connection using true hydraulic fittings, not hardware store pipe.

Do the pressure checks and see what the relief is set to. To high could damage or destroy the pump.

What does the diesel shop say it looks like? Problems in/with the ring grooves of the pistons? Wrong end gaps? Wrong rings? Installation? I would have expected some top ring damage from starting fluid detonation. Are you having new liners, pistons, and rings installed or trying to reuse some parts.

Another downside to tarps is the poly tarps will hold moisture under them, at least around here.

after checking for water as Leonard mentioned, running them, long enough to get up to operating temperature and keeping it there for an extended time helps evaporate water out.

Check out your manuals, but I believe the transmission oil cooler is mounted on the right side of the radiator and is air cooled, not coolant cooled, the same as my 450E and wheel tractors. If you have water in the transmission fluid, it is getting there a different way.
