Purchased a John Deere 450 track loader. Got it home and off the trailer and started for the first time. thing has been sitting 5+ years or better and started within 2 revolutions of the crank. Supposed to have a fresh rebuilt engine by John Deere.
Ok so this thing is somewhat different than the Cats I have always run. Looks to me like the left pedal is the clutch and the right pedal is the brake. the levers in the middle steer and it has a 4 speed selector lever on the left by arm rest. forward reverse is on the floor between your legs and has a high low and reverse. Does this sound right for a 450 Deere?
After getting it going we put it in what we think is in gear and let clutch out and nothing. It does have a very large trans fluid leak where the cooler return line meets the trans at a coupling hose. Think its about out of fluid by now LOL. So the question is does a 450 like this need hyd pressure to engage and move? My thoughts are that is if it has a clutch shouldn't it be all direct drive and move anyhow? We did start it and it did take off in reverse for about 4 feet till clutch was stomped on. we thought it was in neutral LOL. haven't been able to make it move on its own since. Need more time to look at it and need to be armed with a better understanding of Deere transmission and drive systems such as this.
Any thoughts or knowledge to share?
Thanks in advance
