450 and 550 compatibility?

Post by bdog2 » Thu May 11, 2023 3:20 pm

Hi, I have a 550 dozer with the 2 way up down blade that has the manual pin adjustments for 4 way with the framework outside the tracks. My question: Is it possible to remove this set up and install the 6-way blade with c-framework inside the track as well as all the necessary hydraulics fairly easy? If so will the existing pump drive the 6-way properly? And lastly is a 450 6-way the same one that's used on a 550? Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks

A quick review of the Deere parts online list the same dozers for the two machines. 6405, 6410, and 6415. I think the 6405 is the inside mount 6 way.

To see how comparable the 450 and the 550 dozers are you can take time and sift through the parts manuals compare the two.

Hope this helps, Bruce
