Case 450 advice
Hi all. Due to have being transferred to a new position at work and not having the time to putting in a pond (my original intention with the purchase of this ol girl), I am offering my 1973 Case 450 crawler / dozer for sale. I've done what I need to do with it around the farm so she's ready... -

Case 450 advice
Guys, sorry for the delayed replies....been awhile since I've gotten on the blog (winter months, etc). JBird1, I agree, best investment I've made in awhile on the pneumatic grease gun...it's a dream compared to the manual pump..if you only had 3 hands huh? On greasing of undercarriage... -

case 450 mechanical fuel shutoff
make sure the linkage to the fuel pump is securely closing the shut off. Had same issue with my Case 450. Would start but very weak..due to the cable not completely closing the shut off linkage. She sounded fine when revving but had no power at all. I have to manually "help" shut it and no... -

Case 450 advice
Got my sprockets! So, I managed to locate some used sprockets that are in like new condition. Made a nice day trip with the family to western PA to get them and managed to drive a little farther north, back into Ohio to visit my aunt. Managed to pick them up for $200 cash. I'd gotten quotes... -

PLENTY of life left in those tracks especially if you use it occasionally and light load as you described. -

TALLRICK, Check eBay for a CD version...I got one for my 1973 Case 450. I think it was like $10 bucks or something....very insightful, well layed out and good quality detail. Good luck. -

Case 450 advice
..truckman..also, i think it may be possible to install the pads (on the pre 73 style) backwards as the bolt pattern is a perfect rectangle, where as 73 and later have offset mounting. THe two bolts in front of each pad are slightly offset to the rear bolts. If you have pre 73, possible to... -

Case 450 advice
Truckman, welcome to the forum. You'll find this place really helpful if you provide as many details as possible. You didn't mention what year your machine is. I've recently learned that in 1973, the pitch of the chain changed slightly. You may want to confirm that your sprockets are mated... -

Case 450 advice
Thanks again guys, your supportive direction really helped me A LOT! Any advice for the undercarriage? As far as I can tell, the pins look to be in decent shape, only slightly ovaled. The drive sprockets however are near razor sharp at the tips. Can I only change the sprockets out without... -

Case 450 advice
The beast has come to life!!! Thanks so much for all the continued advice and help. I feel like a "rhutard"...the stop cable wasn't fully extending when pushed in! I had no idea this girl had so much power!! I bet the guy that sold her to me could just kick himself in the arss right now... -

Case 450 advice
Baz, the top photo shows the throttle linkage. In the pic, it's "at rest" with no depression of the accelerator pedal. WHen you press the pedal, the "yoke" that the throttle cable attaches to rotates clockwise. Note the adjustment screw is "loose" / the locknut is not seated. I assume that... -

fuel pump Not entirely sure of what you mean..:beatsme...but, if I push the accelerator pedal down, the linkage completely rotates the yoke clockwise until the adjustment screw bottoms out against the housing....see pics attached. Also, the fuel line that supplies the pump does have a filter... -

Case 450 advice
Baz, I rebuilt the brakes and confirmed that the pressure to trans drops out prior to discs engaging. That all seems to be working as it should. After warmed up, when moving in low (both tracks) if I depress one pedal or the other, I can "feel" the track drop out (slight turning) and if I... -

Case 450 advice
First thing i did when I bought her I redid the brakes. So, even if I use brakes, especially when cold, she just bogs with slight turn. Same effect turning as if i toggled the levers for transmission. (Intermittent pumps to one brake or the other will eventually turn in the direction i need... -

Case 450 advice
Now that you mention the throttle linkage, it is "bent" right at where it connects to the lever on the fuel pump...I'll try to bend that back and give it a shot. Seems load is too great for the motor, rpm's drop (I say that not because there's a guage but simply because it revvs down). There... -

Anyone familiar with a reputable source to rebuild my injector pump? What kind of investment would I be making (roughly)? -
J
Case 450 advice
I suppose I should check / replace the injectors (step 1), check governor (step 2), have injector rebuild (step 3)...how's that for order of approach? Forgive me...this "governor" that you speak of, where is it located and how to check / confirm adequacy? Thanks again. -

Case 450 advice
No smoke whatsoever, only a little puff at start up when she's been sitting awhile. If injectors were clogged or fuel pump had low pressure, would she be able to revv high when in neutral? She only boggs when "in gear". thanks so much for your response and I look forward to clarity. -

Case 450 advice
So, I've replaced brakes (when I really don't even need them), "timed" the fuel pump, cleaned the prefilter at the pump, changed every filter on the girl and still, just doesn't seem to have the power she should. Now, after she warms up to 220 or so she gets better, at least then she can turn...
