    Deere 450c Transmission Preventive Maintenance

    Scratch my last post about the oil pump. My book lays out seal replacement and reusable parts. Mg2361, I checked the transmission clutch linkage, #3 in 2nd parts pic I posted. Pin looked tight on #3. When I wiggled it it had about 1/4 - 3/8” of play. I could hear something clicking in the...

    Deere 450c Transmission Preventive Maintenance

    I got everything ordered. Having not pulled an oil pump apart I have some questions: 1. Do parts 1-5 come out the front of the cover to where you don't need to remove the cover? 2. If I do remove the cover are parts 5 and 9 reusable if no damage is apparent? 5 and 9 are listed as sealing washers...

    Deere 450c Transmission Preventive Maintenance

    I planned to replace plug 11 and seal 10 in front cover for safety. I didn't know they were press fit. Is it possible to tap these in with a hammer or will cover have to come off to press them? I understand seal #15 now and will look into it as well as check the transmission clutch linkage for...

    mg, thanks for the reply and great info picture. 1. Yes I did disconnect the spring. Plan on replacing it. 2. The adjuster is definitely tight. I knew there was something wrong inside because I had to tighten so much and add washer shims when adjusting the clutch. 3. To get to the oil pump...

    Deere 450c Transmission Preventive Maintenance

    I tore into my 450c including removing the engine and bell housing in order to fix the leaking 1 inch expansion plug that’s in the transmission front cover. While I’m in here I’m going to replace the other 2 expansion plugs. Not having one of these opened up before I’m curious if there is...

    Deere 450 c Steering Brake Adjustment

    Update, I put everything back together and ran the dozer for awhile as I had some work to complete before bad weather hit. I have now decided to tear into the steering again. I found the common sump hole between the steering boxes and rear differential. They are factory installed. So as I...

    John Deere 450 Winch Questions

    In an effort to be more specific are dozer that are equipped with a winch supposed to have a disengage able PTO? I understand the shaft out the rear drives the winch pump. I'm just curious if it will damage the winch or dozer if it cant't be disengaged and turns constantly? Thanks again for the...

    John Deere 450 Winch Questions

    Great info on PTO. Looking through my manual it looked pretty in depth to add. My concern is that PTO is needed to operate the winch correctly but I'm getting the impression its not. I have run our families Deere 430c and it requires the PTO to be engaged or disengaged per winch use. Just trying...

    John Deere 450 Winch Questions

    Thanks redneckracin, I sent a request to the owner to try and provide a model number of the winch. Did your 550 have a PTO engage lever on it or is that of no concern with a winch?

    John Deere 450 Winch Questions

    I have a Deere 450c (1980 I believe) that I'm looking to add a winch to. I found an older straight 450 I can buy the winch off of. Being the machine is 100 miles away and I cant compare the to machines side by side for match up is there anything I should know or look for to make sure it will...

    John Deere 450 Crawler Tachometer Purchase

    Thanks, I believe I would rather go tach-less than give my first born to Deere. I tried an aftermarket on an old ford tractor I had with good results. Was hoping someone had first hand experience with Deere aftermarket.

    Hey All, I'm wanting to replace the tachometer on my Deere 450c as mine is completely shot. I have been looking on Ebay at aftermarket Tachs and they range from $20 to $220. Anybody have experience purchasing one of these? $20 one is from India and brings back a saying from my High School Basket...

    Deere 450 c Steering Brake Adjustment

    Thanks for the comments mg2361 and 77Ford. I got everything adjusted and working pretty well. When steering the dozer sometimes it steers as it should (very light pull turns dozer) and sometimes it takes a pretty hard pull to get it to turn. This happens on both sides but little more on right...

    Deere 450 c Steering Brake Adjustment

    Hello, Just purchased a 1980 ish 450c with a weak steering to the left. Upon pulling the steering clutch cover I noticed the rubber line inside the case has a bad spot. Hopefully changing this will fix steering problem. My questions are related to adjusting the brake band. I have a technical...
