Re: 450C won't go into low or reverse

Welcome to the board. Just so you know this post will likely get moved to the late model board. That is where the 350s, 450s, and later models belong. The hydraulic reservoir is the tank under the right armrest. The transmission oil reservoir is the case of the transmission. Totally separate systems...

Re: 450C near death accident

As bad as it was I'm glad to hear it was not worse than it was and that you are on the road to recovery. Your post is a good reminder for all to check, that the linkage for the HLR lever is adjusted by the book, and that the safety lock for HLR neutral is working. I regularly lock mine and try movin...

Re: 40c clutch ajusted but

I can not say for certain, but that felt washer may go up on the shoulder that the throwout bearing stops against, I don't think it affects the position of the throwout bearing, just helped contain grease in the bearing. It wouldn't seem right that a compressible material would be used for spacing. ...

Re: Help issue with JD 350 B

They were known to get loose, separate some, then strip the coupling and shafts as original possum posted; and it sounds like you can see that separation. Since you can see it is separated some, you know where you need to head to start repairs, adjustment and pressure checks will come after it is ba...

Re: 40c clutch ajusted but

I don't have the service/shop manual for a 40 but I looked at the John Deere on line parts book (PC862) and there is no shim behind the main (engine) clutch throw out bearing. There is a felt washer (item key # 12) behind the throwout bearing. The felt washer also shows up behind the throwout bearin...

Re: 40c clutch ajusted but

Welcome to the board. I'm surprised someone hasn't responded on any thing for you yet. I'll ask a few questions for background that might stir other responses for you. It sounds like you have some things out of place or way out of adjustment. Do you have the 40 service manual # SM2013 and a copy of ...

Re: Blown fuze

From your description I think your front lights use a bulb like a 1133. You could have a problem in the socket(s) of the old lights. I have seen pigtails short inside lamp sockets. A wire could be pinched or the insulation chafed through somewhere along the way and it can be hard to find. It looks l...

Re: Jd350 track tensioners

The large coupling with the plug on at least some of those aftermarket adjusters is protection for the grease fitting and relief screw. Remove the plug and I expect you will find the fitting under it. On your original one if the grease appears to be coming out under the fitting, check for a crack or...

Re: shims for reverser

Shim T14587T became T14587. T14587 is .406" ID, .748" OD, .024" thick and material shows as steel. Looks like they may still be available at about $13.50 each. However, the online parts catalog shows M3048T as the current part number, with this note: "REMARKS (SUB FOR T14587, THIS APPLICATION)". M30...

What part number are you looking for? I'll check to see if the dimensions show when I check your number.

Re: root rake for jd440ic

Here are a couple in OH or PA from a quick search. I don't know that they will be cost competitive with the one you found, most of theirs appear heavier built. Some web searching and checking around, you might find a small fab shop that might build one for you. USA Attachments (NC) builds them. Thei...

Re: Help removing/dismantling a 450C starter

It has been a while since I had one apart but I took a look at the parts catalog to refresh my memory. Looking at the parts catalog it appears like you might disassemble the starter in place, but I don't know how much easier that will end up being. There should be a center bearing support plate that...

Re: root rake for jd440ic

Hi dtoots1, I have been watching for one, as a would be nice to have attachment, but don't think I will spring for a new one. I think that pin on type like you posted, would be more user friendly for small jobs. There are a number of outfits making that type, including a couple in the Ohio and PA ar...

Re: John Deere 450 dozer

Welcome to the board. Coolant getting into the pan slowly would make me wonder about the seals on the sleeves. I would sooner expect a head gasket or cracked head to be putting pressure into the cooling system and pushing coolant out the radiator, not very slowly getting into the pan. Then there is ...
