Ok if I pull-up on yoke and piston can I pull it out of spring Assy as a unit kind of up and out than? Looks like piston just sits against a cup at spring . Thanx for the help

Sort of following you Jim ,cut a chunk of 4x4 board or whatever stick it at back sprocket run machine back to wedge it to collapse adjuster all the way. Than do I work track off the front idler and pull aside or do I come -along track back tight ,undo bolts from yoke and pull out adjuster and rod fr...

Hey every one, hope you are all well.I blew seal on track adjuster but haven’t had time to replace it I have the track tensioned up with a piece of angle iron wedged between back of yoke and frame for a temp fix . I got the new seals now and want to fix it .Originally I thought I could just fix it w...

Yes been looking for a Canadian site the few I found offer pins and bushings with just sizes next to them . I’m going to have to measure what I have than source them , haven’t talked to Lavoy yet . I need to do bucket and links and top loader pins , Just don’t want to put 5k into some steel pins.

Looking for bucket pins and bushings - dimensions.Does anybody know the size of the pins and bushings needed ? . Standard 1 1/4 yard bucket . Or a source for aftermarket pins JD wants 285$ a pin for the bottoms and 145$ a bushing . That’s way too much for a pin . Thanks guys .

450C crawler loader some of you had said remove loader frame to access everything.What is all involved in removing loader frame besides the 4 mounting pins to frame and undoing all hydraulics under the steps . Looks like the frame to hang a back hoe has to come off also but I have snapped off bolts ...

Are you looking for screen kit for left side of machine ? Engine guard ? I made a set out of locker doors that were on a internet server rack and a set for another guy out of finer screener mesh , has about 1/8 inch square holes works excellent took a hour to make a set. Cut to size torch two holes ...

I have my pusher fan on my 450C . I fabricated a nice set of screen panels for sides of machine , parts catalog shows a screen that goes in front of rad according to diagram , but how does that stop sand an crap from being pulled into machine And being driven through rad core ? Am I missing somethin...

What else is involved in removing loader to frame assembly throttle linkages , wiring to dash , air filter assy, etc . Looks like frame for hanging a back hoe has to come off also and does battery box and hydraulic tank have to come off or is it part of the lift. Also looks like ROPS has to come off .

Yes the 1 “ spacer /plate is there but the gasket that you say goes between block an plate is not there at all a few bolts were loose around housing I tightened them up oil bubbles an seeps on block side near top flat side and around sides not lots but some . I plan on pulling motor out in winter bu...

Looked closer at cleaned up engine there is a plate more like a cast spacer about 1 " thick between block and trans housing.I was thinking a plate about 1/8 " thick with a gasket but it doesn't have that . When I look up the parts it shows a gasket for flywheel housing that gasket is missing on my m...

Did my tank heater with the pics you posted Jim only prob for the life of me couldn't get top plug out of block heat and all before finally rounding out the plug , ended up drilling amd tapping the flat spot on housing up to thermostat and doing the install . Apparently my machine is missing the the...

Looking at your first pic I think I can go that road with the top fitting, On your pic where your lower rad hose comes up to the housing mine had a barb there where it has a hose ran to drain tap with a quick connect . I see your thermostat housing has the flat spot but no plug or barb there . Was g...

Ok that’s what I was thinking just use reg hygard or equivalent at125$ a pail might look at a j20c equivalent if it’s a few dollars shorter looks like I need 4-5 pails to do trans /finals /and steering clutches. Ugh .

Read all the posts on the tank heater installs my machine has a hose from block where block drain would have been to a hose barb fitting that’s at the top of lower road hose housing on side of water pump has a quick disconnect between the hoses . Would I use that setup or should I drill and tap the ...
