I have a chance to buy a 1973 JD 350 Don't have a serial number. My question : is there a difference between a 350 and a 350 B ? The machine does not have any decals that are visible and the serial number tag is missing. The owner is asking 3900.00 for it, which i think is a reasonable price he stat...

HELLO CRAWLER 123, I have a 450 B and need to do the same thing. I realize this post is a little old, however, I just happened on to it, looking for info. on this subject.

I just bought a 1970 450 BA Track Loader it has some wear on it , maybe
less than 50 % left on the undercarriage. Th sprockets are somewhat pointed
and it has seen better days, but it does have a strong engine.

Hi, I'm new to JD Crawlers and have a question, I'm looking to buy a 450 J.D. track loader. The machine will be used to do small jobs around the farm and maintain my driveway, so it won't see a lot of use, maybe a hundred hours a year if that. I found a 450 BA online, the price is $6500.00 and $1250...
