I have an early 70's 450c I've restored and it does ton's of work on my property from logging large timber to pushing stumps and dirt and it rocks and never breaks down,I've had it for 30 years now...Thanks for the video...
Those are good tractors. My stepdads construction company had one. Easy to operate and dependable. I rolled it over loading it on oak planks A plank broke. I dove off. We just pulled it back over with another tractor.
There's a lot to be said for the old machines made before computers, electronics, and sensors. There are 50yr old machines out there still able to run and work. I don't think we'll see anything made today last that long.
I think we exagerate with those succesion of words,there are much factors can say today machinery are better,from confort till money making,doing jobs more faster and eficient.
Your not alone, I have a 1979 John Deere 450-C Clam Bucket Loader with a 9300 Backhoe, and a 1980 John Deere 550-C Dozer. I keep 'em in good condition, lots of greeseing, filter checks and fluild levels. Near Seward.
😅 Thank you for watching man! I put tons of sweat equity into the old girl (I posted my forum thread in some other replies), really didn't want to let her go but just couldn't justify keeping. I really want a Tak. skid loader...🥺
Thank you sir, appreciate your kind words! Check out my other videos on the old dozer if you want. I got her for free, sunk another 5k into it, and just sold her a couple months ago!
Heck yea man! I just checked out your dozer videos! Nice! Good luck and thanks for watching. Check out my other videos on the old John Deere 450-C. I just sold it about a month ago.
Nice! Just a word of advice from my research. Early 450s had dry steering clutches which can be problematic and expensive to fix. Starting with the 450-C they began using wet clutches, I would look for a 450-C or newer. Thanks for watching sir!
@@hectorcalderon3011 That is 👍🏼 I am sure the early ones can be great but that is just what I have read/researched. Check out the link 👇 it’s my thread. Thanks for watching! www.jdcrawlers.com/messageboard/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=13940
Had the thought ever crossed your mind to pull that belly pan and spend a few dollars on degreaser and 2-3 hours with a pressure washer? I mess with old greasy stuff all the time and it sure does make life easier.
The machine had been sitting for quite some time (years) and was used and abused. It leaked pretty much from everywhere, so I decided to tear it down and service everything. For example the exhaust manifold was cracked, turbo was completely toast, fuel tank rusted over, oil pan gasket leaked, transmission sump screen filter cover leaked and pyro was cut/missing, etc. etc. Thanks for watching!
Lots of elbow grease, spit shining, and cussing. But it turned out real nice in my opinion. Just sold it about 2 months ago. Check out the thread below if you want. Way more detail about the machine overhaul. www.jdcrawlers.com/messageboard/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=13940

We have a 450c 6410 blade. Remarkable what they can do with a bit of patience. I watch guys on bigger machines not really achieving much more

All that oil sure does prevent a ton of rust from getting a tooth on!
That’s for sure 😂

Why did u tear it to pieces, it seemed to be operating ok you never explained why before u pulled it apart.
