    Anyone know of what may or may not have happened to a fellow in Johnson, VT by the name of Mark Courchain? I've tried to call, text and even email him, but have fallen on deaf ears. PM me if necessary. Thanks.

    JD 450 (straigh) steering issue

    The thing I don't get is why one side seems to be functioning properly, and not the other? Both chambers were filled with oil, and both were flushed with kerozene. Although the weak side barely steers, but only shows minor steerage. If I pull back on both levers, the machine comes to a complete...

    JD 450 (straigh) steering issue

    On my machine, R/O tractor oil was inadvertently put into the clutch housings. Believing the tractor had wet clutches, instead of dry clutches. Although one side (left) came back to life after both housings were flushed out with Kerozene, the other has very little steering capability. Does...

    Ford 555B Backhoe

    So come on now guys, help me out a little; all I am asking is to find out if the voltage regulator controls power in the manner that I am seeing, which seems to be like a circuit breaker. Let me know. Thanks to all. J.

    Ford 555B Backhoe

    It shows, the electrical wiring diagram, having a circuit breaker mounted on the light switch, and also, 2 diodes close to the battery box, but they seem integrated in the wiring harness.. I have the manuals...

    Ford 555B Backhoe

    Does anyone know of a circuit breaker in the electrical system of a 555B? I bought the machine last summer, and thought I had a bad ignition switch because I can only start the machine with a "hot" trigger that I got from NAPA, basically a short trigger button that you attach to the starter with...

    Looking for a 6 way blade for a JD 450

    I know who you're talking about. I have saw his posting recently when I was searching for a JD 350/450 dozer. A little far away, but it may be worth at least giving him a phone call. BTW-any idea how much one might be worth?

    Looking for a 6 way blade for a JD 450

    I own a John Deere 450 crawler, and I am looking for a 6 way blade for the machine. Presently, it has a heavy push blade which I am going to remove and sell or trade?. I live in NYS. Thanks.

    John Deere 450

    I think I have the issue licked!!! After looking at Jim B's diagram, I went to my local JD dealer and purchased the said check valve (now $30) and installed the rather non-impressive part onto my injection pump. I had to make a new fuel line, because the old one did not release the cap, and...

    John Deere 450

    I ran an outside fuel source to the machine, hooked up to the main fuel line other than the fuel tank; same result!!! PITA!!!

    John Deere 450

    Didn't find anything interesting in the tank. Drained over 20 gallons, unscrewed the return line and outlet, blew air into both. Nothing. Bottom of tank clean. Both lines are installed to the outside wall of the tank, not the bottom, as you would expect. I did find a 4" length of rubber fuel...

    John Deere 450

    My first order of business will be to drain the tank completely, of about 15 gal. of fuel, and remove or replace some old funky shut off vale that dosnt seem to be functional any more. Oh, and no, I don't have the service manual.. But thanks to you, in giving me the part number, I will be...

    John Deere 450

    All excellent points. I filled up the tank with about 15 gallons of fresh fuel and replaced the filters with JD replacements. I don't have to bleed the filters between stalls, but do I pump up the finger prime lever on the lift pump, and that usually keeps it going for a while. Same duration...

    John Deere 450

    Well, I thought I had the problem licked once I noticed the the screws on top of the lift pump with loose by 1/4 turn. That helped to keep the machine running for approx. 15 minutes at a time. Enough to be able to load & unload it on a trailer for transport back home. But even after...

    John Deere 450

    On this unit, to shut of the machine, the fuel lever is pushed down to a very slow idle, to where it stalls out. Thank you, BTW, for your help! Pretty grimy, eh?? LOL!!
