Hi all,
Bought a well used JD450 a year ago and have gotten more than $5,000 worth of work out of it.
Now it's time to get some items repaired. When I initially purchased the dozer, the right steering clutch was a bear to engage when turning. Over time, it loosened up however it had a different feel to it than the left. While pushing dirt, I stopped, backed up and wanted to go forward again. The dozer would not go forward at all and it is still parked in the same position.
The linkages are well worn and have a lot of slop-- will re-bush, rework as many as possible Pulled the seat off to look and steering clutch function. In a static position, both sit at the same position when viewed from the top. The cylinder movement is 1" greater on the left than the right. The brake shaft also has more movement. There is some issue with the right brake.
Getting ready to pull the top on the transmission to see was is wrong.
For those of you who have experience with these older JD450's, I'm willing to accept any advice you may have to offer. I have other heavy equipment and do my own work and have the tools and equipment to do anything that is required.
Thanks in advance
Paul
