Good afternoon-
I found two 450 crawlers at auction this Saturday in Kansas/Missouri; I have no personal knowledge of either of them but thought I would post for those looking. There are photos of each on the auctioneer's websites which can be found with a Google search or auction location websites.
I may be going to the second auction so may report back the auction price for the 450 crawler loader.
450 Crawler Dozer
the auctioneer is Voorheis Auction and Realty and the auction is located near Fayette, MO (in the middle of the state). The 450 crawler is advertised as a 450C but you know how that goes. The description provided by auctioneer is as follows:
John Deere 450C dsl. dozer w/6 way hyd. 7’ blade, roll canopy, 6’ ripper, had recent $10,000 eng. overhaul
450 Crawler Loader
The auctioneer is Marty Read Auctions and the auction is located near Mound City, KS (about 1 hour south of Kansas City near the KS/MO state line). The description provided by auctioneer is as follows:
JD TRACK LOADER

Well, I did go to the auction in Kansas. The 450B with the "wench" went for $3600.
It about made me sick to not bid on it as it had a really nice Berco aftermarket undercarriage but I am spread pretty thin financially right now and already have a number of project crawlers. They couldn't start it at time of auction (due to supposedly dead batteries) so would be a bit of a gamble but they had moved it from another part of the property so presumably it ran OK.
Anyhow it goes to show that you never know as I was pretty sure it would go for $6K or higher given the nice undercarriage.
