As this model is not a farm tractor or garden tractor/mower, but a commercial vehicle, it too is painted all yellow. Much like the JD D LC, there are actually two models of the 450 J, the John Deere 450 J LGP and the John Deere 450J LT. It’s fuel tank can hold a reasonable 47 US gallons (178 liters) of fuel. It measures 160 inches (4.06 m) in length and has a Blade width of 124 inches (3.15 m). This crawler dozer is 16283 lbs (7385 kg) in weight and it’s John Deere 4045H engine produces 77 net hp, making this mid size crawler dozer pack a reasonable punch for it weight. The John Deere 450 J is a crawler dozer that is of little relation to the 450 D LC. Just like the other commercial equipment that John Deere produces the 450 D LC is painted all yellow. There is also another model of this digger with a slight variation, the 450 D LC ME. It’s maximum dig depth with the standard arm attached is 26 feet, 8 inches or (8.13 m). It comes with a 12 foot, 10 inch (3.91 meter) arm as standard, but you have the choice or others, from a 9 foot, 6 inch long arm (2.9 m) to a 16 foot, 1 inch arm (4.9 m). It boasts a whopping 348 SAE net hp providing enormous amounts of power to move it’s 106,180 lbs (or 48.16 tons!) and it’s arm produces 43,228 lbs of arm force, which makes it capable of moving massive quantities or earth, rubble or whatever material you need moved. The other model is the 450J which is a large crawler dozer. This could get interesting.There are 2 very different JD 450 models. Where about will that plug be located? Do you have to take off the track and sprocket to get at the clutch pack? We will be bring the Dozer over to my place tomorrow. We are going to try and drive it up on a couple of 8" X 8" timbers. If this does not do it then removing the clutch packs and brake bands for service is going to be necessary but this is not as hard to do as it sounds nor is it all that expensive, basic hand tools and a service manual and you should have no problem doing it.I assume that you have to have the machine jacked up to do this, sure doesn't have much ground clearance as it is. If you are still going to junk it I too live only about 10 miles from I 75 and I am only about halfway as far up the road as AllenR!Īn old trick we used to do for this was to first remove that plug and make sure there was no water then replace the plug and pour about 2 or 3 gallons of Kerosene into the clutch.brake pack housing and let it sit for a day or so, after about 48 hours you can then start trying to work this thing loose by operating the machine and trying to get that side to free up. You are right about that old machine DO NOT junk it!!! There are folks around here who would REALLY like to get their hands on that thing including me!īTW I have the smaller 350 version of that Dozer. If this does not do it then removing the clutch packs and brake bands for service is going to be necessary but this is not as hard to do as it sounds nor is it all that expensive, basic hand tools and a service manual and you should have no problem doing it.

If you get down underneath the finial drive housing you will find a plug that will drain the water (there will in all likelihood be water accumulated in there but if not it will be much better) out of the case if any has gotten in there. Since that is a B model it has the dry clutch packs for the steering and those things are notorious for sticking if left to sit for a while, I am really surprised that both sides were not stuck.
