Nice work sir. Your videos are informative and well put together. It's fun to see your family (wife & dog)! Since I also enjoy a cold snack or two each day, your can pops put a smile on my face. Cheers!
Great video,full of helpful information, you rock and bust your butt to put on a great video, Imust say as a mech all my life and owning a 73' 450c I feel your pain, luckily I have had mine for over 30 years and its in great shape,needs love to keep it that way but I sure had a better start than what you had...Keep on doing what your great at...Thanks for all the help...P/S When you get that all together you will be impressed as I am with what they can do...
Thank you!! These are great machines, certainty worth saving. Ill have more videos coming out about it eventually but for now shes up and running great.
Epic series, definitely enjoying the content bud. You’re a bad dude. Repairing these old machines looks extremely gratifying. Ready to get my hands on one, or so I think lol.
Good work! I've learned alot watching your videos. I took ownership of a '95 455G this spring and have yet to use it cuz when it was delivered we barely got it off loaded and it died so i dont have alot of knowledge and when i was tinkering around i found the filter bleed screw was left open and lost its prime i wish i had that shrader valve on mine. Anyway the seller is going to come over and help me fire her back up. The reason i haven't been in a hurry is cuz its in northern Wisconsin and things are still pretty muddy. By the way if in the future your available to do field calls I'll make ya a sandwich also!
My homeboy Larry has the hi-lift version of this machine and we are about to do some engine yanking of our own here soon. He actually has two - one with a ventilated block and one with a slippy slippy transmission. And yes on the radiators. Hard to find.
Have fun and be careful. Check/replace all the little coolant and oil cooler hoses while you have the engine out. Its a lot easier to change them when the nose is off. Same with the belt and water pump
Yeah, good job but I always use high melt point grease on all sliding clutch parts inc. splines and throwout shaft. Also suggest throwout bearing a bit loose on carrier , I use a small press. Gotta work on final drives on 450B crawler for an Ag workshop in Aust. this week. Also outside in the elements
You are an inspiration on all of your different projects. Didn't blow your top at finding all the bodged work by prior owners, just roll up the proverbial sleeves and get stuff done. What line of work are you in for a day job?
I'm an engineer in the manufacturing field. It kind of sucks and there's not much hands on work. But it pays the bills so I can get greasy at home and play with old junk.
Hello, what a nice project, a question John Deere 450 track loader You are stronger than the John Deere 35 track loader Can you tell me what the difference is, thank you
The 350 is like a smaller version of the 450. Engine is very similar just 3 cyl vs 4 cyl. The 350 is ~3-4000lbs lighter. The undercarriage is same design just smaller. The loaders are similar. The transmission is pretty different in design as I understand.
These dozers are tough. Ran one 18 years. Apparently the previous owner(s) weren't mechanics. Nice to see this one given some tlc.
Nice workmanship and you got guts to go along with a lot of knowledge! Thank you for taking us along.

Gotta have a little fun while getting work done! Enjoy a few cold snacks!

Thanks!!! I guess the only good thing about buying a beat up machine is there is so much opportunity to improve it
@@spankranchgarage Ain’t no doubt! And when you get them right with some fresh paint they turn some heads!
Best video I've seen on removing engine! Thanks!
Glad it helped!
Great job!.
Awesome video

The shrader valve in the fuel cap is so helpful for that! It isn't much work to add one. Good luck with your machine that's a good one!
I love this series!
Thank you!. Unfortunately for me, there are a few more episodes to come.
Great job and great content. Subscribed 👍

Thanks for the tips and good luck with the final drives!
Good job
It’s impressive the stuff you accomplish by yourself. Also, does the grease add any flavor to the sandwich?
Petroleum based flavor!

@@spankranchgarage OK THANK YOU

Let me know when you plan on selling this sweet machine!
I might get too attached to it! But I will be fixing up a 350C this summer if you are looking for a slightly smaller dozer.
Would you sell me your extra clutch?
