    JD 450C Dozer

    I am trying to figure out the correct procedure for installing a new top carrier track roller on on a JD 450C. The old roller broke off the shaft, and at this point, the old shaft is what is left, attached to the bracket. I have purhcased a new part, which includes the roller and shaft all in...

    Case/IH 485 Air filter light stays on?

    We have a Case 585 on the ranch, and the orange light came on the other day on it also. I pulled the big air filter out and also took the small one out too. The small one didn't look that dirty at first glance, but when I got it out and tapped it on the fender, lots of dirt came out. I blew...

    Case 585 - transmission

    Yes, it is the conventional 4 forward speed manual shift transmission. Also, I do seem to notice when I slow the revvs it does seem to grab and take off a little better. So, guess it could be the clutch.

    Case 585 - transmission

    We have a 80's model Case 585 tractor and it is recently having transmission issues. When you put it in gear and release clutch, it is slow to take off. Worse in High range than Low, and especially bad on any type of incline. It will sit still with egine revved to 1500-2000 RPMs, then it's...

    Tire driving me crazy!

    I would go with a solid foam filled front tire. Find someone in your area that does this, take them your tires, and have them filled. The tires will be heavy but you can run over thorns all day long with no problem. It is pricey, but if you're fixing a bunch of flats like we were, then it's...

    Case IH 585 hard to start

    We recently took a Case IH 585 tractor in to have a leaking injection pump fixed. We took the whole tractor to a shop that specializes in diesel injection repair. They removed the injection pump, repaired , and reinstalled, so they do all the timing work. Now that we have the tractor back it...

    Off-road diesel - Waco, TX

    Does anyone happen to know of a good place to purchase off-road (no-tax) diesel in the Waco, TX area? I am looking for a place where we can purchase the red dyed diesel and have it delivered to a bulk tank on the ranch. Fuel will only be used in tractors and dozer. Just wondering if anyone...

    Is It Just Me?

    I'm seeing the same thing with injector pumps around this area. Ours has leaked on the Case 585 tractor and the JD 450C dozer. I've also put 3 sets of fuel filters on the tractor in the last few months. My neighbor just had his injector pump rebuilt on his Massey a few weeks ago because it...

    Short Bed vs Trailer

    I have a 04 Dodge with a short bed and a tool box too. Gooseneck hitch is pretty close to the toolbox, but I can still make a 90 degree turn.

    Diesel Kleen

    2004.5 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins, 6 spd manual, 3.73, stock. I am averaging around 18-19 mpg daily driving, unloaded. With 5000-6000 lbs I'm around 15-16 mpg. I haven't pulled heavy, so I'm not sure. I run 4 oz of Howe's Meaner Cleaner in each tank. My brother's 2001, 2500 Cummins, 5spd will...

    John Deere 450C dozer

    I haven't purchased a repair manual for the JD 450C, and I was wondering how much time, labor, and/or money would be involved in getting the machine back to where it would turn right easier. After using it for several hours the last few days, I don't really have any complaints about the machine...

    John Deere 450C dozer

    What's the biggest size trees you can take out with a JD 450C dozer? We are fixing to get one at the ranch to clear mesquite, cedar, etc. It looks just like this one: http://www.machinerytrader.com/listings/detail.aspx?OHID=5849246&guid=6523D2041AAD4316835DC7CF7E8B2F64 The machine we are...

    Propane cutting torch

    I'm not real sure on the propane, but on an oxygen/acetylene rig I usually run 20 psi on the oxygen and around 5 psi on the acetylene.

    Cutting Torch Adjustments

    Like others have said, it's easier to demonstrate than explain, but I'll give it a try. From the beginning: 1). Make sure all valves on the torch and the bottles themselves are turned to the off position. 2). Open acetylene (or whatever gas) cylinder valve about 2 turns. Do not open...

    Powerstroke or Duramax?

    Stay away from them Dodges! ;-) If everybody quites buying them, maybe the price will go down, then it will be time for me to buy another one. If you got the money to burn, then I'd buy a Ford with the Cummins engine. (F650 and up). But to answer your question, I'd stick with the Ford over...
