Final drive
Final drive
almost ready to re attach the final drive to main frame. Do I need to use a sealant for final drive to main frame or is it metal to metal contact. The pinon shaft might leak ?

This is for the 450C
Re: Final drive
my jd440ic final drives simply showed a thin coating of paint
edit
mine are dry so JimB sounds right, but sure others will advise further

Re: Final drive
I don't have a 450C manual to check however, my 450E manual calls for using sealant there and at some other points on the final drive. I think you have "wet" steering clutches like the E model. If that is the case, I would think you need sealant.
Re: Final drive
Thanks, My manual did not say. But maybe I need to re read somewhere. Yes wet cluthches. I would assume it needs sealant.
Re: Final drive
My manual also didn't say to use a sealant and I didn't. Clean it and torque it.
I won't say there isn't seepage though. I highly doubt I will ever have a rust problem on the belly pan.
