If I end up paying dealer prices for everything, I'd have a $40,000 450B haha
Hoping I find a good salvage yard not too far from me that has a good parts machine or two, crossing my fingers. The journey continues...

Would a very late "B" model that has wet clutches look like every other "B" model from that outside point of view (with the triangular adjustment cover) or did they make the chassis change when they made the B's wet due to holding fluid. Another reason I ask is because when I pulled the cover off of the clutch compartment and looked down, there appears to be at least a gallon or more fluid in there. A the time I assumed it was water but that's before I realized C's came out the very next year. I'll be heading out to the dozer house soon to give the fluid a lickJWB Contracting wrote: ↑Fri Jul 09, 2021 7:24 amWhen looking from the outside above the sprocket and track, B and earlier have a triangular cover which is removed to adjust the brakes. A C model has a large pipe plug. C also has a steering valve on top of the rear end.
The TD8E will out work most 450’s up to a G series. Lots of power and heavy. Embarrassing for us Deere fans.
Would you mind sharing the total undercarriage price? Tracks, rollers & sprockets. I have a 350C I would like to do someday.cordlesscarpenter wrote: ↑Sat Jun 19, 2021 7:27 pmUpdate:
After much deliberation I pulled the trigger, ordered the SALT chain, new track pads, lower rollers, upper carrier and front idler for both sides ($$ ouch! $$) buy once, cry once right?
