I have a 1965 John Deere 450 loader. Since I last ran and shut off the machine. The throttle will not budge from being completely shut off. I initially thought that maybe the linkage on either end is hung up. That’s not the case, both ends move freely, etc. I’m positive the cable is not broken. I ca...

You helped a lot Leonard. I appreciate it. Like you said, I’m thinking along the lines of what you said that the rear attachment on both machines are probably different widths, etc. If i’m not mistaken, I think everything about the 450 is a little bigger.

Check on that for me Leonard. I appreciate it

Are you referring to adjusting the clutch, brake bands or steering clutches ? This is the only video out there that I have found referring to any adjustments. A lot of times people in here will gladly help you with basic questions. For learning how to make any adjustments you’re going to have to spl...

Wondering if backhoe is interchangeable on 350 / 450 ?

Thank you, Jim B. I have no clue what it is. I appreciate your help my friend.

I bought a Yanmar YM 2200 loader tractor a couple years ago. I love the thing, great for a lot of needs. Anyhow, does anyone have a clue what this T handle is for ? It turns left to right but no clue what it does ? Thank you

Thank you, my local John Deere is worthless. I will follow your suggestions.

Back in business guys. Changed filter and hose to a higher pressure hose this evening. All is good. No more busted hoses or leaks. I see what you’re saying now, Jim. The oiler cooler looks like it’s part of the radiator. But, now I see what you were saying. Man, thank goodness the oil cooler is stil...

I realize not all coolants are created equal. I also understand some coolant’s can’t be mixed. Having said that, are any of you particular or feel a need to be ?

I understand what and where the oil cooler is located. It has the filter attached as in picture, correct ? The hose i’m referring to is part number 10 in your previous post where it shows the hose routing. This hose is directly behind the oil cooler but is not attached to it. But, your saying it’s r...

That might be a good suggestion. But, the filter doesn’t appear to be very old. I know looking at the filter could be deceiving. But, the this is. This hose does not connect to the transmission filter base. It connects to the radiator. My only guess is someone mistakenly put a card plant hose on it ...

No that’s not the case. The hose attaches to a 1 inch radiator inlet/outlet nipple. The other end attaches to a hard line that runs along the frame. This hose does not attach to the base that holds the transmission filter. I explain and show what I’m referring to in a youtube video link I attached t...

A few days ago I started my 1965 John Deere 450 loader. It was approximately 30-40 degrees. Not long after initial start a hose behind the transmission filter busted. This hose attaches to the radiator on the top and to a hard line that runs along the frame at the bottom of the hose. The hose that b...
