I drained both locations fully (I let them drip dry).
I figured it was not a common sump because none of drain plugs were loctited in.

450C steering clutch fill
I am in the midst of a fluids and filter change on my 450C dozer, not a common sump model. The manual states that each steering clutch takes 7 gallons of fluid but I had oil overflowing out of the fill hole after about 6+ gallons. Is the fill level supposed to be right at the fill hole and why won't...

Re: JD450C 1975 New Starter Motor Needed
If you have a starter rebuilder nearby that is a cheaper alternative. I got mine done for about $200 vs 650 for new which was NA anyway.

Re: 450C 1975 skid plate/belly pan removal
My hand is just small enough to fit through the hole in the frame to allow me to hold the bottom bolt and get it out or started.

Re: How to determine model year with no number plate
Well duh, there is a tag s/n: 450CC 268050 looks like it is a 1977. Would that year have a common sump?

Re: 450c needs a squirt of ether to start then runs and starts fine
The dozer has been sitting for a while [a few weeks] and the temps have been in the 30's most of that time. Yesterday, when I started it , it was in the 40's but as stated before, it has sat in the cold. No block heater installed. In the late summer, early fall when I was operating it daily, it woul...

Re: 450c needs a squirt of ether to start then runs and starts fine
I have not checked compression but the engine feels strong and does not use oil. When I got the machine from the former owner , I found a well used can of ether in the battery compartment so I guess it has had the addiction for a while

Title says it all. New batteries, rebuilt starter; engine spins over fast, blows smoke from the stack when cranking.
I give it a 1 second shot of ether and it fires up after maybe 5 seconds more cranking.
it will then start normally or the rest of the day.

Re: JD 450C no crank
2nd reman is finally installed [had a dropped bolt/buggered stud thread episode that slowed me down] and it spun over very quickly and fire right up
Fingers crossed that my starter woes are on the mend.
