JD 450 manual blade crawler

Post by lachaj » Mon Oct 29, 2018 4:48 pm

Hello everyone. I just bought what a believe is a straight 450 dozer. The serial number plate by the hour meter is missing. Is there anyway else to tell what year it is?

The engine plate looks like 107885T? Hard to read.

There should be a type section on the engine tag before the serial number which identifies the engine, which may help. If you can see where the tag was mounted on the front of the seat panel it should be a straight 450 or an early 450B (s/n 142199 or before). According to JD parts catalog info the tag was moved to the front of the battery box front panel starting with 450B s/n 142200.
