Deere 45012/9/2023 The forward/reverser should be shifted with out the clutch if I remember correct. The master clutch pedal is pushed 1/2 way in to stop the machine and all the way in to stop the PTO. 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. haven't been able to make it move on its own since. 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. It does have a very large trans fluid leak where the cooler return line meets the trans at a coupling hose. Does this sound right for a 450 Deere?Īfter getting it going we put it in what we think is in gear and let clutch out and nothing. forward reverse is on the floor between your legs and has a high low and reverse. the levers in the middle steer and it has a 4 speed selector lever on the left by arm rest. Looks to me like the left pedal is the clutch and the right pedal is the brake. Ok so this thing is somewhat different than the Cats I have always run. Supposed to have a fresh rebuilt engine by John Deere. thing has been sitting 5+ years or better and started within 2 revolutions of the crank. Got it home and off the trailer and started for the first time. This could get interesting.Purchased a John Deere 450 track loader. Where about will that plug be located? Do you have to take off the track and sprocket to get at the clutch pack? We will be bring the Dozer over to my place tomorrow. We are going to try and drive it up on a couple of 8" X 8" timbers. If this does not do it then removing the clutch packs and brake bands for service is going to be necessary but this is not as hard to do as it sounds nor is it all that expensive, basic hand tools and a service manual and you should have no problem doing it.I assume that you have to have the machine jacked up to do this, sure doesn't have much ground clearance as it is. If you are still going to junk it I too live only about 10 miles from I 75 and I am only about halfway as far up the road as AllenR!Īn old trick we used to do for this was to first remove that plug and make sure there was no water then replace the plug and pour about 2 or 3 gallons of Kerosene into the clutch.brake pack housing and let it sit for a day or so, after about 48 hours you can then start trying to work this thing loose by operating the machine and trying to get that side to free up. You are right about that old machine DO NOT junk it!!! There are folks around here who would REALLY like to get their hands on that thing including me!īTW I have the smaller 350 version of that Dozer.

If you get down underneath the finial drive housing you will find a plug that will drain the water (there will in all likelihood be water accumulated in there but if not it will be much better) out of the case if any has gotten in there. Since that is a B model it has the dry clutch packs for the steering and those things are notorious for sticking if left to sit for a while, I am really surprised that both sides were not stuck.
