    Case 450 diesel fuel bleeding assist

    Thought I’d post this as it may be of use to others! The Case 450 has no lift pump and as such is real hard work to get air out of the system if changing filters or should you run out of diesel, I’ve made this “bung” to fit in the filler neck and with the aid of a truck tyre valve in the bung...

    Case 450 starter motor replacement

    Thanks for your info Bill! You were spot on with your diagnosis, I stripped the dynamo down gave the armature a good clean and tried it, it did start smoking but I stripped it back down and I had got one of the brush leads shorting out on the armature so re-sited it and its working like a good...

    Case 450 starter motor replacement

    Thanks for replying! It's definitely a 188 diesel and I have since removed the starter motor and it is currently being checked for any problems, with the starter out we were able to turn the flywheel with a screwdriver so its not seized thankfully, I'm thinking it is a duff battery but getting...

    Case 450 starter motor replacement

    Ok my Case 450 track loader is fighting me every step of the way and I'm starting to think I've bought the cousin of "killdozer", it threw a track off and I was pricing up the track adjuster seals and was quoted £400 for the two sides here in the UK, replaced the track and started to track up...

    Case 450 brake master cylinder seal kit

    Thanks for replying Bill, I think I was beings a bit optimistic by thinking a seal kit may do the trick, the brake pedals are seizes solid and the master cylinders are bone dry, I don't think they have seen oil for some time and indeed one of the master cylinder screw caps is missing. I think it...

    Case 450 188d engine

    Hello Gents I stripped of the rocker cover of the engine as water was in the oil, when I drained the oil water started bubbling out of what looks like a core plug that has rusted through in the head. This looks like it is the source of the water entering the oil and not liner rings or cracked...
