I know buddy. Thank you, for your willingness to help. I appreciate it.

Thank you, I just found in my manual it’s 8 gallons. There is separate oil for reverse ? I have a second question. I sprung a leak on what appears to be the hose attached to the filter. It has no fittings, it’s just hose clamped on. And that doesn’t appear to be rigged up incorrectly. Can I take an ...

I’m not near my manual. How many gallons of hydraulic fluid for transmission ? 65 - 450 loader

A suggestion. A suggestion that will save you a boat load of money. I’m no expert, but I’m not a dummy either. I just bought a 450 about a month ago and it too recently busted a hydraulic hose. Some guys might say what I’m about to tell you is unsafe. But, that is a load of bull crap. I received quo...

I thought he was wrong. Made no sense to me what he said. I just wanted to confirm my thoughts that he was wrong. Thanks guys.

For you guys that have been following my posts on here. You know my past regarding my machine in the past month. Anyways, a very good friend of mine who is no mechanical dummy said. After pumping grease into the idlers to set track tension. You have to shim them and remove grease fittings to keep th...

The third picture is exactly like my top rollers. But, no pictures you posted look like my bottom rollers. My bottoms rollers look like they have a allen head in the center.

No, I was just wondering when and if the time comes to buy engine parts if those parts apply to most 450’s. I’m finding it’s not very easy to track down parts for these older machines. I’m wondering for example if I were to ever need a head gasket. If a head gasket or water pump is the same on all 4...

Most definitely. I have 2 Cat D4’s on my property that have sat for over 10 years and my 450 will move each one of them a hair above idle.

Yes it is SM-2064. There are additional sections for gas operated machines and winches. But, no operators manual.

It is a service manual that says John Deere Dubuque Works (Feb - 74). But has a main copyright of 1987. Under that 1987 copyright it has more copyright dates starting at 1964 through 1975 It’s inside a 3 ring vinyl binder. The cover says JD Dart operators manual. Through out the manual for different...

I had assumed it was a 65 - 70. Thank you, Jim B. With exception of turbo on later models. Do you know for approximately how long the 450 engine remained exactly the same after 1965 ?

Ok guys I finally got around to adding the serial tag under the seat. Here it is SNT5E3M011153T

Thanks, guys. I think that’s the case being the upper roller clearly has a fitting and I thought it was odd the lowers didn’t. Mine are fine. But, what is today’s rough price on each one of these ? My understanding the track pads are roughly 40-50 each ? I’m just trying to familiarize myself with ev...

I have a 65-70 model JD 450 loader i just bought a few weeks ago. This is my first large piece of equipment. So take it easy on me with this one, lol ! Are you supposed to grease the bottom rollers ? I ask because there are no grease fittings that I can see.
