This is going to seem real basic to the old hands on this forum, but I just replaced my injector pump solenoid and wanted to post some resources in case anyone else needs to do the same and is intimidated by the prospect of doing so. The issue with mine was that it was getting stuck open, so the tra...

Get well soon! I religiously use that little flip lever to hold it in neutral ever since my 450c tried to kill me! My starter button is broken, so I have to hold the hot lead directly to the starter motor to boot it up... needless to say I hope I never make the mistake of firing it off in gear again!!

Just to follow up here in case someone else has steering issues with this tractor. When the steering lever is pulled back, the hydraulic system is activated, but there is also a little lobe that applies the brake. That lobe was stuck up. Once I got it unstuck and greased up, the tractor still would ...

With mine, I just needed to disconnect the fuel supply hose to the injector pump and run air backwards through it. There was a little blockage that cleared. Issue never came back after I did this once.

Did you ever figure this out? Mine is doing the same thing? Can't figure out what solenoid I'm supposed to be looking for from reading the manual.

Right... sorry to be dense. Tractor is parked near the stump in question. Will retest tomorrow! As far as all at once vs. over time, the tractor came with a piece of land I acquired in 2018. Just really got it running last winter. Had to do some major repairs to hydraulics as the hose that lifts the...

Ok, so I steered straight into a stump today... and both tracks continued spinning. Not sure what that means. Please advise.

Thank you for your reply. Have never thought to plow it into an immovable object, but I can tomorrow. It was actually steering a bit better today, so perhaps it appreciated being tinkered with. Right side is good. Left side steers best when i pull it half way, what it's not doing is "applying the br...

Greetings, I have a John Deere 450CA, Serial 332388T, with a Drott 4 in 1 bucket and a hoe on it. Both are definitely oversized for this machine, but it does wicked wheelies! In any case, when I pull back on the left steering lever, I feel absolutely no resistance. It simply never engages. It does o...

Greetings, If anyone is familiar with servicing the steering of this machine and is located near Santa Cruz, CA, please get in touch. I feel no resistance when pulling back left steering lever. It does occasionally still work however! The closest professional guys familiar with servicing this machin...
