JDcrawlers Messageboard

I am fixing to start the process of changinging all the fluids in my
JD450. Since there are guys out there who have ran these for years what do you find that works the best. Would love to hear some recommendations

Mine has a gage on the dash (5 gages altogether)the gage is transmission pressure but i dont believe it works doesnt move. Is their a replacement gage or can I put an aftermarket psi gage in there is it a direct pressure or electical

service manual came the other day and I adjusted the clutch and it works
good now. gets 160psi in each gear range now

Thanks for the informations it helped me a lot

The adjustment for clutch says to set 3 and 3/4 inch freeplay for pedal
To just where i feel the fingers on the clutch touch Will this be a very slight increse in pedal pressure. This is what I get just barely noticable
The HLR pressures are 120 across the gears

the HLR works fine no need for clutch except when first starting out.
The range selector on left seems to need engine idled down to go in
1,2 or even 3. wont shift between 3 and 4 even with clutch. Going to try to adjust and check pressure in a few days

just wondering how trans (HLR) should work when right do you have to use the clutch ? Should the gear selector on left move without
depressing clutch?

I found the serial numbers you posted Its a 1966 JD450 right

I will order me some service and operator manuals


Thanks for the info

just wondering will the 4219 or 4239 engine replace the 4202 in my JD450
if I need to.
