Ok just got response. Photos must be hosted off site then linked to. I'll get to work finding a good app for that.

I did contact Lavoy so hopefully I can share pics soon. Excited to document from beginning to end

I'm not sure where the All thread thing came from. Maybe my spell check got us going down the wrong path. I bought a grade 8 Allen headed bolt. Unfortunately I need to take it to a buddy of mine who's a machinist that Im convincing in to helping me on this project 😁. The threads are only 3.5" long a...

Ok, so thanks to all that replied. I had a big day today. Jim B I checked all that out and went to a local fastener place and bought a 16" by 1" coarse thread Allen bolt. That's all they had. I'll modify it if I have too. 30$ is better then 268.00 from Deere. I took a bunch of photos and have lots o...

So I found this site late last year and found great info and help. So I'm now ready to start my 450b project. It's a very well beaten and used machine. The previous owners welded everything on the frame work. They added blocks in front of and behind the attaching foot as the bolts were missing holdi...

Ok let's pursue this if ok with you. I'll start another thread and ask is the 350 stuff will work. I don't need the 350 for sure.

Ok thank you. I did a quick search and saw a plate with hooks at bottom and pins at top. I'll try to visit local equipment places to see if they stock anything... I'm a bit ahead of the game I must say. I need to fix the clutches and hydraulic pump first!! It looks like I can get parts through this ...

Great! spell check just wonderful. Let me ask this again. Can someone tell me or lead me in the right direction of what back hoe will fit my 450b. Any info would be great.

Hello all I've been searching before what back goes fit my 450b. I seen one post that led me to a 9550. Is that the only choice? What else mite I need to hook it up?

Well good news there. Thanks for getting back to me. I always like to know the little pitfalls if their are any....

Let me start off with letting all know that I am a seasoned auto mechanic but know nothing about this 450b I bought. ...... So I bought a 450 b to help out around the property. I need to do extensive work underneath for sure the clutch areas are flooded with water and black gunk... The main huge bol...
