Awesome video as always. Whatever you're fixing it's fun to watch you go through the steps. How to we purchase a Spanks Ranch Garage T-Shirt. "Cracking Beers and Grabbin Gears". Love it!
Looks like quite the project! There is something deeply satisfying about working on heavy equipment though. Especially older stuff in disrepair. Watching this kind of made me miss my old farming job.
Great Vid mate, really appreciate the walk through talk through that you go through. Likewise the time you put into filming and editing. Thanks for the entertainment and education.
Just so you know the clutch bellhousing will fill with rain water it has a loose cotter key that sticks out the bottom of the housing that needs to be spun from time to time. The water will fill up and run into the starter and it makes the clutch slip and freezes and locks the flywheel. Nice work you have a nice runner.
hey man im really loving the buggie stuff, i just got my own 2000cc stroker sand rail yesterday and have been very motivated by watching these. keep up the good work
Great job man only things I would done differently I would have replaced all 4 injectors with new ones and would have smoothed out the welds you done But all things considered you did a great job. Gonna be a great dozer for you Thanks for video
Thank you. I have many many more videos on this dozer. I would of loved to replace all 4 but with the amount of other things needing repair on this unit, the 300 dollars saved in injectors will be well spent elsewhere. Thanks for watching!
If you poke around on JDcrawlers.com, some guys have part numbers for a new and improved starter. Its smaller and easier to install and actually pretty cheap (100-150 bucks)
Nope that is a factory filter. It is for the HLR transmission. There is an oil cooler up there for the transmission too. The hydraulic system filter is inside the hydraulic tank on the side of the machine
Iam looking A JD 450d with 900 back hoe and has been stored indoors it’s a 1971-2 undercarriage all locks and pair is nice and it’s factory not a rattle can. The guys dad died and this was his pride and joy on the farm. But it won’t start been setting 3-4 years so your video has helped me what to look for and he wants 10K no hour meter and with not running and no hr meter he wants to much I think but it does have a nice bucket and the hoe is nice ?
I did consider it, and it probably would of worked for a long time. I read good reviews about these welding rods so I decided to give it a try. So good so far about a year in
"it's important to stay hydrated" would be a good merch tagline too. add a drawing of a dozer and a can to that, good stuff.
I love that idea!

I second that!
Glad to is you doing the work on it
Enjoyed watching you work on that old dozer. My Dad worked on them in the 60's and 70's. Brings back memories.
Glad to hear it! Plenty more work coming on this dozer stay tuned
Hi I am a John Deere 450 running great after oh a lot of work but running good still on the j line
🎉
What a Video! It was like a movie , thanks for sharing this! keep up the Hydration!
Beautiful😍😍😍😍😍😍 fix up

Thank you! Much more to come
I worked on the throttle cable on my 1978 JD 350c dozer for about a month, soaking and trying to break it loose. Then ordered a new one. 😅
Its worth a try! But yeah those things seize up tight

Great advice! I’ll make sure my bellhousing drain is open.
2 PART. I LIKE. TO. WAHTCH👌

Thanks!
Very interesting and nice work. Thank you for posting.
Nice job on the video great content overall!
Great video! I have the exact same machine and I’m really looking forward to part two! I hope you cover transmission pressure!
Yes! 2 videos from now I’ll have one just on the HLR adjustments

Wicked job man very impressed
I'm fixing to buy an 1980 450-B it needs starter and a track welded and put back on. I've never worked on one but I'll give it a try

Impressive work.
love your videos mate. cheers🍺
YUO. GOD.
Does that filter in front of the rad look like someone put in aftermarket? I'd assume it's for the hydraulic system?
Nope that is a factory filter. It is for the HLR transmission. There is an oil cooler up there for the transmission too. The hydraulic system filter is inside the hydraulic tank on the side of the machine
Ahh okay. I've got a 72' 350B and I don't think it has an external trans filter unless I haven't found it yet

What happened to the throttle cable? did you free it up or did you replace it?
I ended up having to replace it. I couldnt save the old one
@@spankranchgarage I have a JD-450 and I am replacing the cable too. I have ordered it from Amazon @ approx $75.00.
Did you consider brazing that cast?
I did consider it, and it probably would of worked for a long time. I read good reviews about these welding rods so I decided to give it a try. So good so far about a year in
Pretty sure your tracks r on backwards nevermind I see em better now lol nice ole dozer
You scared me!
My bad man I was trying to get a good look at them but your good keep on tracking lol
Fuel filter is from a c model
I don’t disagree as I’ve only seen them on C models but being that this is a 1975 maybe JD put them on a year early??
I have John Deere 450 that
Area Diesel service for pump ,injector and Turbo needs .
I’ve heard they are great
Excellent free Greta content. How dare you!
Clam hoes on end and fill hose with antifreeze and air nozzle i the end and let it blow.
Dam the putz trick didn’t work 😂
Super bummed. This thing has probably been seized since 1990
All the sniffing and snotting over the mic is not very pleasant.
