Thank you! I hope this video helps others when fixing up their own equipment! Replacing the steering clutches is no small job but at least when there is materials to reference it makes the job much easier!
@leonvandervyver8053 I believe the 450c and newer have "Wet Clutches" instead of dry clutches. This means oils don't mess up the friction discs but instead act as a lubricate like in an automatic transmission. The clutches still can wear out but they usually hold up way better than the dry clutches. I would recommend checking the clutches and brake bands for proper adjustment, if the adjustment is maxed out and you still do not get any better results I would say it is time for a rebuild. When you drain the oil from the clutch housing pay attention to see if water comes out. It should drain out first if the machine has been sitting for a period of time. Water can cause the moving components to rust and modify the oil's properties. Hope this helps!
Awesome video

What is the difference between 450B and 450D steering clutches
I have a 450D don't want to turn or push.
Any advice would be appreciated

@GAVINCANFIELD thanks ill check I'm busy stripping. Appreciate
I have a 450D, do you know if it's wet or dry clutches
I believe they are wet clutches
Where did you get the parts from?
I believe I got them from reliable tractor parts, if my memory serves me well.
