    John Deere 340C Ring and Pinion.

    Hello, Replacing the ring and pinion in my 450C track loader. Bought one from Reliable After Market Parts in Michigan off eBay. Opened the box and the pinion shaft is much shorter than mine.

    Lever Action Grease Gun?

    Thanks for the compliments! The ROPS repair came out nice as far as the work done by my welder Matt, couldn't have done better. But the whole ROPS has been bent before I got it and doesn't really look worth painting and sandblasting. I'm afraid to try and straighten it, my thoughts are welds...

    Lever Action Grease Gun?

    Thank you sir! The whole reason I bought my Deere 450C was so I don't destroy my 170 cleaning my fence rows! Next I need a ripper for the Deere.

    Lever Action Grease Gun?

    The pic of the 185 was his last farm sell after He quit, 1991. The photo of the D19 was probably 1973 with me and my sisters. The D17 and slat plow was just before I sold it 2006 to buy the 170.

    Lever Action Grease Gun?

    I went with a John Deere, not sure who makes them. I have a Lincoln and a John Deere pistol grip but needed a lever action.

    Lever Action Grease Gun?

    What's the best hand held, lever action grease gun? Lots of different ones out there from $15 to $100. I didn't think a $100 or $150 hand held grease gun existed but they do. Want one that's American made and good but doesn't need to cost as much as my tractor.

    Better Seat for Deere 450C?

    Anybody put a better seat on their Deere crawler? I see K+M offers a couple but not sure how well they fit because they are more a of a universal seat.

    John Deere 450C

    Had to do a test fit before spending money on sandblasting and paint that might have been a waste. I had never seen the ROPS on the tractor before and it measured a little bit tweaked.

    John Deere 450C

    Well I got it on. I need to go get the right bolts tomorrow but it ain't falling off tonight! Matt, my welder did an excellent job, all he had to go on was a cracked up ROPS and my best, half assed measurements.
