Re: JD 450C no crank

For safety reasons this is an excellent time to clean the belly pans. When was the last time they were cleaned?. Anyone ever seen a dozer/loader belly pan fire?

Re: 1969 JD450 crawler/loader

Could it be a faulty circuit breaker under the dash cluster? Number 27 on the parts diagram.

Re: JD 450C no crank

It sounds like your problem is in the starter. So jumping the silonoid posts may not help as your problem is “more downstream “. So you would not ground the starter you would jump the battery cable (large post on the starter) to the small post ( wire coming from the ignition switch and start push bu...

Off eBay. Similar to this if not this exact one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/134061607220?hash=item1f36b1c934:g:F04AAOSwqJ5iOW9C:sc:ShippingMethodStandard!51555!US!-1&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4Bc65dvS99SorIgy%2BJ4c0E81reESLzAT%2Bl5o8eBVtncJATnrwQwTYqnouDZLkfn7jB0mgMlMPs3o7mGV9wwX3VINaGvIN6hpQHqCms6588HVwCy...

Re: JD 450C no crank

Sounds like a faulty starter. I updated to a reduction drive and love it. Starts much quicker, more torque. The starter sounds like a Toyota now.

Re: 350 Clutch

I recommend rebuilding the reverser. The isolator and springs in good condition? Correct no clutch, isolator.

Re: 350c thrown track

It is possible your adjuster has perished and is frozen. Try compressing the idler and adjuster. But if it doesn’t compress with reasonable force, the adjuster will need serviced, rebuilt, replaced.

Best regards, Bruce

Re: 450 B or C

Okay. For clarification. The plugs on the back of the machine(1/2 way down the final drives) are gear oil for the finals. This oil never touches the steering or transmission. The drain for these finals are under the machine. One plug for left one plug for right. These are in the final drive sump (ca...

Re: 450 B or C

While standing at the side of the machine and facing the sprocket/final drive, look about two inches above the top of the final case and about 10 inches in front of the case toward the front of the machine. If you see a triangle shaped cover held in place by three bolts, you have a “B” series. If no...

Re: Deere 820/2010 track loader/backhoe Final Drive disassembly

Water is the best solution to break the corrosion bond between the drum and shaft. This may not work the greatest with the hydrophobic liquids now in play.

Brute force with a bigger puller is okay, but you have to disrupt the bond first. My humble opinion

The 555 project looks very nice.

Re: Deere 820/2010 track loader/backhoe Final Drive disassembly

Hello Sir, I definitely agree with Jim B. Contact Lavoy for your parts needs. His parts are properly vetted. Your case is likely the worst I have witnessed. I would power wash for a long time and then power wash some more. I would fill the case to the brim with hard water. I would leave it with wate...

Re: 455E with an issue...whining sound

Are the hoe hoses hooked back to each other? Or are the left unhooked?

Re: 455E with an issue...whining sound

Am I reading this correctly, that there is nasty whining noise in the pump while the backhoe is off the machine?

Are the hoe hoses unhooked from the hoe and NOT hooked back together?
