The links I gave you go to the parts catalogs. John Deere puts the wiring diagrams in the Technical (service) manuals, which are a purchase item. eBay can be a good place to find a used John Deere 450C Technical Manual (publication number TM1102). If you have a friendly JD dealer, they might give yo...

Bruce has given you a good option. For future reference. In the US we can access the JD parts books online. I don't know if the site we use is available in NZ, you will have to try going to it. Here is a link to the site, please let us know if it works for you: https://partscatalog.deere.com/jdrc/ A...

Steel fuel lines and fittings form a ground.

Welcome to the Boards. You should be looking for the Technical and Operator's Manuals for your 350B. OMT46859 is the publication number for the Operator's Manual. TM1032 is the publication number for the Technical (service) Manual. The TM includes info on the 7300 series loader in it. You can use th...

That could be it. The outer and inner parts of the seal have to be pushed at the same time. And the tool sets the depth to clear the lip on the flywheel.

Did you use the new one-piece seal (Unitized seal and wear ring) that needs the special tool to install it properly and avoid damaging it?

You really should tell what you are working on when you start a new post. You have posted about a 450C before so I will guess this is about that one. Hose above the starter area? Are you looking at a small (about 1/4") hose threaded into the flywheel housing right above where the starter bolts on? T...

I don't think there was a ground wire and none show as part of the harness in the parts catalog. If you want to add a ground just use one of the sending unit's mounting screws to put one end of a wire under and run the other end to a frame location of your choosing.

When I searched using the part number, one of the "official" John Deere sellers (Hartville Hardware) on eBay says they have more than 10 available. I can't say they actually have the cups, you would need to contact them. JD changed some part numbers and dropped the letter suffix, so try both ways fo...

Welcome to the Boards. The injection pump and filters are on the pressure side of the transfer pump. If air is getting pulled into the system I would be looking between the tank and transfer pump. Watch your engine oil level, the transfer pump may be getting weak and they can put fuel into the engin...

The clutch is only a single stage clutch, the two stages you feel are two different things working together. The engine clutch, you called the second stage is mechanical and the first stage, as you called it, is the pedal operating a hydraulic valve of the H-L-R. Partially depressing the pedal moves...

A timing light is simple to use and quick. Is there an O'Reilly, Advanced or other parts store near you? Some of them, maybe the one where you normally get your parts, have tool rental/loan programs, so you could get a timing light and return it, often at no cost. I don't think your meter will check...

Good to hear you are still working on your project. You are ok with the rotor pointing at #1 when the flywheel is at TDC, that is the static timing, which should be right to get it started. Instead of the manual saying you should see x number of degrees advance at high idle (when using a timing ligh...

The pressure washing likely got some moisture inside the distributor. Not uncommon for a running engine not to start after a bath. Check that and dry it out of it is we inside.

A web search for WMD6 (stamped in the ID plate) is a Wagner loader model. The 40C would indicate it was specified for a 40C. Wagner had mountings and modifications to fit their models to various machines. Ford tractors were big users of Wagner loaders. The N Tractor Club library has a WMD6 manual, l...
