Re: Size
Given the simplicity of the attachment point for the seat frame, I'm surprised that more people don't opt to put in a universal tractor seat bolted onto some treated plywood in lieu of the OEM; maybe even spring for a suspension seat... pun intended.

Re: 450 in pieces
Check the clutch housing. Like mouse nest, debris, corrosion etc. check the drain hole in the bottom of the clutch housing. Is it free or plugged? Unsure, will look into this. Also, the button head grease fitting on the LH unit fitting is a few threads loose. RH idler grease fitting either busted o...

Re: 450 in pieces
One big issue I noticed is that I was able to start up the engine, but as I disengaged the clutch (in neutral mind you) the engine reacted as though there was a good amount of load on it. I can't tell how much, since the transmission temperature isn't working, but it seemed non-trivial. I tried let...

Re: 450 in pieces
Yes, you should see some voltage at a sender's wire from the gauge. generally grounding a wire at the sender will make the gauge needle sweep full range. No movement should indicate an open in the wire or bad gauge. The 450B manual gives the following sending unit info. I didn't check the parts boo...

Re: 450 in pieces
I was able to look at the gauges on Sunday. Replaced mechanical oil pressure gauge with electrical. Readings went from 40 PSI to 20. Must be a mis-match between the sending unit and the gauge itself. Can I select a resistor to fix this discrepancy? Wired up coolant temperature gauge and found that i...

Re: 450 in pieces
It sounds like you are replacing a section of the low-pressure hose from the transmission to the oil cooler. If that is the case, it needs to be hose rated for oil service, not plain "heater" hose use for coolant. Plain heater hose won't stand up to oil service long term. I got a shorter section of...

450 in pieces
https://i.imgur.com/fpvZvBW.jpg https://i.imgur.com/QSFLtJ5.jpg So I had the track loader apart and noticed that the transmission oil temperature sender line had been shredded where it passed through the firewall. I spliced in a new bit of wire and will hopefully find that the gauge on the dash wor...

Re: Rusted lines leaking?
One line ended up failing and I ended up forgetting about this post and got one made for a cool $200 or so. But hey, it's stainless, and shiny. Too bad it's hidden under the seat! It fixed the leak, and I got the machine started this past Sunday. Now I've found it has a new leak, this time at the ra...

Re: Rusted lines leaking?
So the local auto shop will do flex lines to 5k psi, which is where I have them made normally. However, I will run them to a hydraulic place to get the existing ones pressure tested. I also note a wear pattern on the metal clamp that held these lines; there was no rubber so it was metal-on-metal hol...

Rusted lines leaking?
I have a Deere 450 with a 6-way blade, and it appears to be leaking oil from the boom lift or tilt circuit. Upon inspection, there was about an inch of dirt/rust flakes/water/oil sitting in the bottom of the battery box where the hard lines run. They have seen better days. I am not sure if there is ...
