Weirdly I thought my '66 450, would of been early model, but I learned not too long ago I was wrong. I'm for late model dozers, although I know literally nothing of the early models. After I get my 580sk back up n running, then I'm going to tackle my 450 the winch needs a overhaul and the right brak...

Good to know, I'll try to find the most current.

I thought mine had the hlr trans? I mean it has the selector in the middle. What makes it the constant mesh? Man I'm lost with this dozer, first Deere and first piece of tracked equipment. Honestly figuring out my 580sk was way easier.

I got a 450 dozer in the recent past. I believe everything needs adjusted on it. When switching directions it grinds as it does when changing gears, and you can't get the pto to engage with it running. Also my right brake appears to do nothing. I have found an old 440ic manual, but haven't found a 4...

Would I just get them from my local John Deere dealer or should I look online for them?

I recently got a jd 450. So far I've found the winch needs rebuilt, new PTO coupler, and either right side steering clutch or brake band. I'm a very competent he truck mechanic, but have no knowledge of tracked equipment, so I need to get a manual.
