Brand new to this board. I've owned this early 70's JD 450C crawler/loader for 10+ years, but it's been sitting for the past 3 years unused. I want to bring it out and begin restoring it to be a useful machine for me around the property, but as I said it's not been started in appx. 3 years. I need to get some parts for it, like oil filter, air filter, etc....but I'm not certain what engine I have and what air filter to buy for it (need a part number). Is anyone able to help me identify the engine and the air filter part? Would love to know the year, if you can tell from the serial numbers.
Attaching photos. Can't see to find the location of any sort of serial number on the engine?
Any advice would be really appreciated.
Lastly, I need to pull the raidator. Sorry for the newbie question, as I've done little work on this machine...how do I drop the front of the unit that surrounds the radiator? There are FOUR bolts across the bottom and a bracket about a third of the way up the front. Is there a way to loosen the brackets and lower it down, as it appears super heavy to completely unbolt.
Thanks in advance for the review of my newbie questions
