The ring around the adjuster is part of the spring from the looks of the parts catalog drawing. I don't know if it is setting just right, but don't think it or that you backed the brake off, is your problem. Here is a link to the page and you can see the loop on the spring (item key # 5).

With you saying now the engine lugs and tightens the tracks sounds like a clutch is dragging, I would guess it would be a forward one as you posted it moves harder in reverse. I would check linkages and adjustment and do a full round of pressure checks. You may need multiple gauges to monitor more than one clutch at a time.
One of the other fellows might see this and have another idea.

Re: Looking to purchase a 450c and sell 555a
Thanks for all the info Jim. I would say it lugs equally now in reverse and low. Before, there was no lugging in low and it felt great..Jim B wrote: ↑Sun Nov 12, 2023 6:07 pmThe ring around the adjuster is part of the spring from the looks of the parts catalog drawing.

I’m going to go over all of the adjustments on Tuesday. Is there a best order or process for all of the adjustments? From what I see, correct me if I’m wrong, it looks like adjusting in the following order is best. Top first, bottom last.
Clutch pedal
HLR linkage
HLR pressure and speed of shift
Steering clutch and brake
Brake pedal
Is this correct? Or does the order not matter?

$13,000 for a fully operational 450c with a backhoe and front loader ain't bad, especially if it's got fresh paint and the guy claims he's sorted out the major issues. I'd say go for it if you're tired of the project grind and want something that runs out of the gate. Not sure about the parts availability on the 450c, but maybe dig around online.
