Being new to this type of machines I´d like your input on getting an old JD450E back to life. Its been standing for at least 5 years, was started about 2 years ago and according to old owner needs the steering cluch fixed (will do when moved to better place based on all the great info on this place)
Anyway,
What concerns me is tracks and transmission. Is there anything that needs to be thought of before firing it up and driving. I don´t want to create more problems on it than there already is.
My game plan is roughly this.
1.Check/fill engine oil, water, fuel tank/filter and radiator for leaks.
2. Check transmission oil so its there and okay
3. Get the engine started, let it get warm and running okay for 10 minutes to get all fluids warm and check for leaks (hopefully none

4.Put it reverse and get it hopefully in strait line up on the small road next to it.
5. Drive it forward and pull on the steering levers so see what happens.
6. Get it loaded.
Any other suggestions on what to think of/no-no´s?
