So I bought 9 acres of land and am going to build a small house. The land is all wooded, so I need to do a lot of clearing. I decided I should just buy a machine as I will be using it a lot over the next few years. I found this Case 450B with a 4 in 1 bucket a few miles from the house. After checking it out and a little haggling I got it for 6k. 3600 hours on a full drive train rebuild. The undercarriage has been gone through twice in its life, and currently needs new pads, I'm just going to weld some 4140 1/2x1/2 square stock on instead. But.....my current question is about the hydraulic filter. The only filter I can find is a return line cartridge filter on the right side of the machine. The filter napa has is a very large spin on filter. Am I missing something? Is there a hydraulic filter I have failed to locate on the machine?
Any tips or advice on owning my first machine?
Other than that this thing is awesome!!! I changed the oil and filter, fuel filters, topped it off with hydraulic fluid, greased the pins and tightened up the tracks and went to town!!! The 4 in 1 is so versatile.....I should be able to do everything I need aside from trench for the foundation.
