cordlesscarpenter- Can you give us an idea as to where you and your engine mechanic are located ? I ran a 450B with a 9300 backhoe for five years in a custom home building business from 2000 to 2005 Then I parked it under a shed roof. The tracks were completely worn out and the used engine that I b...

Lesson learned... When you go to re-join the loader to the tractor, put the loader together BEFORE you pin it to the machine lol I don't know why I didn't think about doing it that way in the first place but it sure would have been easier. I took it off the machine then tore it down from there... wh...

As I'm putting the loader together, I noticed I missed ordering the wavy washers that go on the large lever (boomerang), part number T32676. When I dis-assembled the loader, I only remember seeing the 4 smaller ones that go on the smaller lever near the bucket (which I ordered and have installed. Do...

Funny thing you mention that again (low idle screw and high idle screw), my low idle screw is missing. I see the holes for it, just like high idle but there is no adjustment screw on it. It doesn't effect operation right now but I could see how it would be useful to make the throttle lever a the ope...

Well gents, I took her off the jack stands and drove her for the first time, I was giddy as a school boy for the whole 50 ft I moved her. She shifts into reverse a little harder than my old 450 but I imagine that will smooth out when I run through the HLR adjustment procedure again. She needs some s...

Got all track shoe bolts torqued down to 200 ft lbs, carriers filled with oil and got the steering clutch/brake adjustment completed today. I was able to get free play set pretty good, although I'm not 100% positive I got the big brake bolt (the one through the side cover) to the same "tightness" or...

Do you have a Roosa Master injection pump? There should be two set stews on the injection lever. One for slow idle one for fast idle. https://partscatalog.deere.com/jdrc/sidebyside/equipment/67823/referrer/navigation/pgId/148326 Best regards. Yes, it is a Roosa Master (Model No: JDB432AL2475, just ...

I'm taking the lazy way out here, and not reading all of your posts, to find the answer to this question. Didn't you send the pump out and have it done? If so, you should talk to the shop that did it before you try anything on your own or with advice from anyone. The pump has a governor, which shou...

Does anyone have an idea why my RPM hits a brick wall at 2,000? The throttle lever is still moving as if to give more fuel but the engine doesn't get any faster. It's almost like it has a governor or some sort of limiter, I'm hoping it's just a quick adjustment of the injection pump. I tried switchi...

FYI, for those who get ITR tracks (SALT chain with 9/16-18 nuts and bolts), they are not grade 8 (which would require 175 ft lbs of torque), they are grade 9 (requiring min 190 ft lbs - max 210 ft lbs). So make sure you have a torque wrench that can get you there. And, if anyone is curious, they are...

I have the larger Dewalt 1/2" impact driver and I don't know how I lived without one for so long lol. I basically snugged everything up last night on setting "2" which should have gotten it pretty close. even with an impact gun, that's a LOT of hardware and I feel it today ha. They are 9/16" UNF gra...

Sometimes I make some pretty silly mistakes... This morning I spent the first hour of my day taking my track chains off and turning them around, yup, put them on backwards. At least I realized it before I got the pads on I suppose. For those who do this in the future, do yourself a favor and make su...

I cannot confirm any operational status of the machine before I got it. I literally got the "fire sale"... the previous owner parked it in a seasonal creek to go for a bite to eat and came home to find his dozer engine on fire. He claimed everything was working fine when he parked it, he mentioned t...

Removed the adjustable stop nut on the HLR arm and there was a washer between this nut and the conical spacer. The book doesn't show a washer on top, only a washer below the "arm" (which IS also present on mine). The HLR shaft's arm will not pivot high enough to get over the threaded linkage (I imag...

Bruce, I re-read your last comment about your story and I think I understand the HLR mechanism a little better and will try to remove the nut and see if the HLR shaft going into the transmission is actually moving through it's full range of motion without getting bound up. I wonder if a little penet...
