Re: 450B steering problem

My dozer is up and running again. Both brake/clutch adjustments were off, especially the right one.

Re: 450B steering problem

“A weird thing id that the left steering clutch department smells like mineral spirits....” Not weird, starting to make sense. The most likely scenario is that the left case was contaminated with oil and someone’s driveway rebuild was to drain the oil and flush with some spirits of some sort. This ...

Re: 450B steering problem

The left clutch is disengaging as evidenced by it stopping when you pull the steering lever while pushing dirt. Your left steering brake is severely out of adjustment or not operational .

450B steering problem

Hello guys, my 1st post here. I just bought my 1st dozer. I cannot find the serial of the machine (only the engine serial) but it has the 450B painted so I assume it is the 450B.
