Trying out the pic loading, not sure this is going to work but the instructions are long and incomplete on how to load so trying to figure it out. My apologies.

So, I don't trust a word that comes out of the mouth of someone selling me something and therefore feel I need to go through the machine stem to stern starting with obvious head (and back and butt and arm) hurters and eye sores. She sounds like she runs solid and feels like everything works properly...

I think you may have gotten an extra 1 in the part number. It should be AT18026 by the parts catalog. They don't use most of the suffix letters any more. The Roosamaster numbers for that number don't match but they do match the substitute pump AR70144. Those pumps were on 450s up to serial number 3...

Welcome to the JD crawler site. I don't believe there is another SN # location on your machine. Some of the later series machines had the SN # stamped in the metal under the aluminum SN tag. These #'s can be hard to see b/c they get filled in with paint. It may be worth scratching where the tag was...

Tinkered around yesterday before the thunderstorms rolled in. I was able to get the numbers off of the fuel injector pump but it is definitely not original. My guess is that they replaced it when the engine was rebuilt in 2012. I will post pics as soon as Mr. Lavoy sets up the account and gives me t...

Right now I have her covered under a tarp as I don't have a barn yet. I'm actually building a small one right now but it's still in the beginning stages. With it only being tarped right now, and off and on showers daily, I haven't been able to do much outside of sneak in under the tarp and turn a wr...

Where is the reverser located? On the dash or next to your left arm rest area?

Neither, I am referring to the control stick right between your legs which has L, H, N, R with what I call a flip down "neutral assurance cover"

Oh, and yes, it does have the Hi-Lo-Reverser (awesome feature I might add, my other dozer doesn't have that and is annoying clutch shifting back and forth all day) and it's so much smoother than one might expect.

Guys, thanks for all the info! it was all good info! If it stops raining tomorrow I'll be doing a little tinkering and look for all the numbers. The advice on storing it with the steering levers pulled back is smart, never would have thought of that and should keep the clutches from seizing. Keep th...

Hello everyone, I've just purchased a 450 Crawler Loader (Diesel) and am doing my very best to both familiarize myself with the machine, do a full tune-up, fluid swap, health check-up from stem to stern, etc. My first challenge is knowing exactly what I have on my hands... I have owned/operated othe...
