I looked at my 450E manual and the hour meter wiring shows in the wiring diagram and the section on gauges and instruments. I don't know if the T1108 manual has a section on the gauges and instruments, but it should have a wiring diagram showing the hour meter. An hour meter hook up is simple. You h...

I agree with Lavoy. I think you would need to sit down with the 6405 Bulldozer blade parts catalog and the 550 parts catalog and compare all mounting and frame parts. Some parts may be the same. I am fairly certain the angling and blade components are different but might work if the C frame and moun...

Give Lavoy a call (701-361-1006 during CST business hours). I expect he will have the correct parts to fix you up.

Lavoy and others will likely be along with more info, but as far as i know a number of parts can be swapped back and forth between them. You can use the online parts catalog to compare specific parts if you want. Below is a link to PC05 which has both in it, in case you don't have a parts catalog. 4...

I don't think the flow divider is compensation for an undersized pump. It is a way to control an open center hydraulic system to allow the use of the two steering valves simultaneously, if needed. It also can give smoother engagement as the flow divider moves to restrict flow and increase pressure o...

When a lever is pulled the flow divider moves to partially close off the flow to the opposite steering valve. Restricting the flow to the unused valve causes the system pressure to rise in the valve/cylinder being used. If that did not happen the oil will take the path of least resistance which woul...

Welcome to the boards.

If you put the blade, or bucket, against something solid and try pushing in low, do both tracks spin? Are the steering clutch compartments clean and dry?

Do you have an Operator's and/or Service manual for it? Have you tried adjusting the steering system by the book?

Thank you for getting it back on track again.

Back on Nov. 29, 2023 he posted he had a starter ordered.

This past Saturday he started a new post, "450 C Not Starting but runs on ether when sprayed", so I think the starter issue is passed. I gave him some things to check but haven't heard back on results.

It might be the ring, but that usually shows up as losing power and stalling, not refusing to start after setting for a while. Infact they often will restart with a failing ring after they set a while and the pressure in the pump bleeds off. It is the check valve in the excess fuel line from the top...

I'm going to be lazy, not take and post pictures, or type all you asked about. Do you have the Operator's Manual OMT23808? It has the lube and maintenance info. If you have one check it out. If you don't have an Operators manual, you should have one. Use this link to the JD Construction and Forestry...

No glow plugs. How much fuel in the tank? Stranger things than running out of fuel have happened. You might have an electrical issue. It should have an electric shut off solenoid inside the Injection pump. You may hear a click when the switch is turned on, when the solenoid engages. Check to see if ...

Does your 440 have the reverser (the forward and reverse handle on the left side of the console)? If so that is not gear oil in that. It was originally Type A transmission fluid which is often more difficult to get now and is not the same as the original formulation. I believe JD Hy Gard or another ...

moving the cable is making contact again, temporarily and very light, not capable of carrying the current needed. Bad spot could be in the terminal or the cable. It is possible the battery has an internal break at the post. Do voltage drop tests.

You might want to try the phone number he posted.
