If you have enough room to work I would use a timesert, I've found them to be much stronger than a helicoil. Look at the link, Http://www.timesert.com/html/faq.html

Used those to repair my Cadillac Northstar when it pulled the head bolts.

For what it's worth, when I did my 450 Injector Pump the roller dimension was 1.961. I checked it cold.

Might be something you might want to look at or stock for people like us. Do you have a local Parker distributor that you use? If not we deal with a number of them that I can hook you up with. I design and build hydraulic systems for a living.

FYI. Just thought I would post this up for those of you who were thinking about replacing your steel main pump suction line, or coolant hoses. I was working on a project in Kentucky and saw this hose in there showroom. I bent a 1-1/4 hose in a number of different directions and bend radius and the s...

Agree with Scottyb.

Thanks

This is the setup on my 450c Everything we own up here has a heater on it, This one works well. http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t407/ascottyb/33af7a34-6d2c-4738-907a-f1ac035aabf7_zps307f0c6a.jpg Scott Scott, I took a quick look those location yesterday, did you open up the hole for block drain?...

BigV, nice write up

Perfect, thanks for the picture Scott. That is where I thought it would fit.

Thanks all. It wouldn't be a Deere heater, it would most likely be a Kats 1500 watt. Lavoy, the bypass is below the T-Stat CatD8RII, I will look for those plugs, that would make that portion of the install simple. Where to mount it will be the most fun. I will report back when I've got it done. Than...

Guys please don't compare different models of machines when giving someone advice on something so specific. There are enough differences within one model, let alone two. And to those of you telling someone to check a plug that you obviously don't have experience with, please stop! If you're not sur...

I'm thinking of installing a coolant heater on my loader. Those of you have one or have installed one, what line is removed to install it. I've looked at the parts breakdown and one of the places that looks feasible is the bypass line coming off the thermostat housing.

I looked up that very information on my 450C last night. The manual is somewhat miss leading. The final drives have fill and drain plugs, the next section (20) is about the Steering Clutch Housings, " NOTE: Change transmission oil (item/section 22) at this time. The transmission ans steering clutche...

Do you have the PN of the pump? There are a number of post dealing with rebuilding the pump if you are up to it.

Glad it worked out for you. You will need to adjust the shift linkage to be sure that the neutral safety switch makes in the neutral position. Mine did the same thing, if your linkage is sloppy, which mine was, you will need to adjust to a happy medium. I ended up pulling the linkage off and making ...
