Track Adjuster Recoil Spring Removal Tool JD450B

[JohnS]

HI,
Well I have been in touch with my local dealer about what the bolt is that I need to get. They were able to get me the diameter of the bolt, the length, and the amount of thread. The only problem is they don't know the pitch on the bolt. Looking around it would seem to be a 8 or 14 pitch. Does anyone out ther know what it is? Any help would greatly be appreciated

Should not mater if you get new nuts with the bolt. Good Luck

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 so I could get good access to the bolt head.

Here is a link to a thread where I discussed this in pretty great detail:
