Does anyone know the size and length of the 2 side frame bolts that go into the engine clutch housing? From the head size of the two that are still there I would say 7/8 but I'm not sure and I don't want to remove them now. Also do the holes that these bolts thread into go all the way into the clutc...

Thanks jdlou and jdemaris. Yes I saw a note in the manual to disconnect the neg terms on the batteries before welding. I've heard horror stories about ruining bearings and hurting electrical systems. I am an electrician by trade and I just don't see how electricity can take a side path like that. Se...

This question is about the side frames, not the track frames.

What type of steel are they made of and what type of arc electrode should be used to weld them?

Unless the frame is removed from the tractor this would be a vertical weld.

Any ideas?

thanks

Here's a picture I just had to post.
I know she's not very pretty but...
At least she's finally parked in my garage !!!!!

Well I have the tractor running again. The hydraulics are working correctly and I can't see any hydraulic leaks. I guess I got things hooked up right. :lol: While it was running I put it into gear and tried the steering levers. Wow, the spindles release and stop turning like their suppose to. Imagin...

Getting the main hydraulic pump intake and outlet re attached http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k598/bozo1236/100_1766.jpg http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k598/bozo1236/100_1770.jpg The four hydraulic lines on the left http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k598/bozo1236/100_1768.jpg Ready to att...

I really busting butt to get this put back together before xmas. :lol: And re-assembly is pretty much the same as dis-assembly. I'm going to cheat a bit here and show you another picture from dis-assembly. But as you can see, you have to be really careful sitting the seat/tank assembly back on the c...

Getting ready to put in the new steel discs and used fiber. http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k598/bozo1236/100_1758.jpg After measuring all the used fibers I determined that the total wear was somewhere around 0.100. So I put an extra steel in first. I know, I know some say not to do that. http:/...

Hi Ken and Leonard I did do the linings myself. This is a first time ever for that kind of thing. I followed reddirt's instructions and that is the only way I would have tried this. http://www.jdcrawlers.com/messageboard/viewtopic.php?t=5177&start=15 I am now in the process of getting the drums and ...

Some more pics. Newly machined clutch/brake drums. New throwout bearings. This stuff is taking forever to get done. But is starting to come together. http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k598/bozo1236/100_1754.jpg Newly relined brake bands. etc. http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k598/bozo1236/100_1...

Unfortunately yes you do have to split the tracks. Unless you can think of some way to get the sprockets off without splitting the track. The sprockets cover a bearing quill that has to be removed to get the clutches out. Maybe we should just make a big hole in the sprocket so we can avoid removing ...

I'm in the middle of it right now

Well that's probably the deal there. I have the .pdf version of the manual and it only goes up to 80.

Yes I would like a copy of that page. Thanks.
Can you scan it a put it up here for everyone?
thanks

Boy, if it's in the service manual I would like someone to show me where.

Like I said above, it's probably in some obscure spec manual.

Can't seem to find this information in the JD450B service manual. It's probably in some other spec manual that I don't have. I checked with one vendor that sells these aftermarket parts new and they told me that for new thickness. Fiber should be 0.180 Steel should be 0.103 Of course that doesn't sa...
