Hello,
I recently acquired a 1965 Case 450 (no letter) dozer w 6 way blade for only $0.21/ lb! It is mostly worn out but should be just what I need to do some grading and enhance my 1/4 mile "road" down to the river. No hours showing on the meter but starts right up, smokes something fierce and other than brakes, seems to work fine. There were no track pads on the chains when purchased but I got 72 of them and look excellent. The right side chain and sprocket were well past being worn out. Thanks to Kevin S. at Tracks & More, I successfully just in stalled a 27 T sprocket and 37 link chain. Pumped it up tonight and looks great. Just waiting on new bolts to arrive to attach the track plates. Taking the other not so badly worn sprocket to my welding shop friends tomorrow to build up the teeth. I have lots of questions and issues to solve but will address those in a separate thread. The 450 joins my Kubota L3600 w backhoe which has been very helpful getting the new chain on.
