I would just start the machine let it warm up and run it then check the transmission fluid. Like we've said before that fluid in the steering clutches is common with the transmission fluid. I hope that makes sense, you would only pour fluid in the side as part of a service. For regular day to day ch...

77 Ford Thanks for the info. Is there anyway you can post a picture of the steering clutch housing fill and adjusting ports....... I also have 2 ports. The steering clutch adjusting port is about 3 inches higher than the other port. Maybe I'm filling the wrong port...........They both open into the...

Everything is now as it should be except one item. On the side of the steering clutch housing, the operators manual points to the fill plug, which is also the steering brake adjusting plug, ( same for both sides ) and says to add 7 gallons of fluid. When I put in the 7 gallons of Hy-Gard, the fluid...

I can't help much with the Canadian serial number, you'll probably have to call a JD dealer and ask them for help. As for the top roller, I think I would look for a replacement before welding. If the original part is not strong enough a repaired part is not going to last very long IMHO. Of course it...

My understanding was all C models were wet clutches. Yes the turbo was still an option in early serial numbers. Mine for example is a early serial number and has no turbo with the wet clutches. The fluid for the clutches is shared with the transmission which you check under the seat. You unscrewed t...

IMHO, the wet steering clutches on 450c and later machines is a really big deal. I can not tell you the number of older 450 and 450b machines I looked at before I bought mine that had "clutches sticking". If they have set a few years it's a pretty big job to get them free and then you have to keep t...

On my 450c it took an 1" 8 pitch to thread into the back spring holder and compress it. I just purchased a piece of 1" all thread and welded a nut on one end. Not sure what the differences are between an b and a c on that. I also had to build a small piece to space the front out a couple of inches s...

450c loader hoses
The hoses that connect back at the hinge point on my 450c are bad. For the life of me I'm not sure how I'll ever reach the inside connection. I'm sure I could spend the time to figure it out but I thought I'd throw it out there see if someone has already done it. Do you pull the dash and go thru the...

I recently purchased an old F600 dump truck and I found a JD 450B Operators (OM-T40817 Issue B3) manual in it. Sense my machine is a 450C and I've already purchased the download version I'd be happy to let someone have this one. First person to send me a message( thru the board) with an address wins...

I'm down in the SouthWest corner of MO. I've seen shorter versions of that trailer you linked new for around 5500 bucks. Still alot to spend to move my little girl a few times year. I've thought about the earth ramp and that's a good idea it at least will get you loaded safely. You could then unload...

My plan is to pull it with my F350 dually. Assuming I get brakes on the axles of the trailer I should be ok. I never plan on pulling this much , I'm guessing 2 or 3 times year to help friends or family out and never more than 15 or 20 miles. My thoughts on the title were either to get it under a hom...

Those are very interesting points to think about. Like I said I'd really like to find a between the tire trailer so I don't end up getting an over the tire decked GN to try and load on. That is how I tried to pick the little loader up and kept sliding back down the ramps and all but filled my pants ...

I'm looking for a trailer to move my little 450c around. I was looking for a triple axle with the bed between the tires and I've had trouble finding a decent deal on one. Now I've found this : http://shoals.craigslist.org/grd/2885197223.html would the be the best GN trailer for moving a track loader...
