450C stuck steering clutches?

Post by hampy123 » Sun May 29, 2016 6:17 am

Going to take a look at a 450C with loader and backhoe. Guy says both steering clutches are stuck from sitting.

Does that happen with the C`s with wet clutches or is it a sign of a bigger issue?

My only experience is with a 350B that I replaced one side.

Hi,

I can't see that with wet clutches unless they wound up with water where the oil ought to be.

My first thought is that it is not a 450C, but another case of a 450B with 450C decals on it.....,

Yup looked at it tonight and it was a B with C stickers. Disappointing but now I have to decide if it's worth it.

He's only asking 3900 for it. Clutches don't scare me too much but he had to give it some starting fluid to get her going. Ran great after and claims it normally starts right up. That backhoe attachment keeps me thinking about it.

I believe that is a reasonable price for that machine. Especially if you have work for it to do. Bruce

Hi,

That sounds really reasonable to me as well.

You might get lucky and pop the clutches free via a tree, too.
