JD450C
I just bought a 450C
It has some issues , all the bolts on the fwd cross bar are stretched , stressed and rusted pretty bad . The frame moves around alot .
But the primary issue is , It stopped moving .. The machine moved fine loading and unloading . I used it the day before 4/1/2021 and it worked great , pushed better than expected . Hydraulics strong and responsive . Next day . Wouldn't move . Check trans oil from dipstick under seat . After 5 to 15 minutes of shifting back and forth etc .
I Noticed it started to move better in reverse , then started moving in forward . Pushed more dirt , rock etc , strong no problems . day 3 wouldn't move again .... Eventually much slower than before would only go into high range . I drained trans and checked the filter . Filter is good on right side of trans with 3 bolts is clean . Drained 10 Gallons.
I am hoping it's a linkage problem from looking at the parts manual for the HL-R .
I will check the linkage on the left side trans direct from HL-R to see if it has proper movement .
Any way . I will post my findings . Any help and guidance will be appreciated. Also noticed the top case on the hydraulic clutch area under the seat leaks a fair amount aprox 15 drops per minute .
What do you guys think , any guidance will be appreciated .
