John Deere 450C Oil Change

I am changing the oil on my John Deere 450 C Bulldozer. This process will be the same for any of the 450-C family of crawlers. We also have a JD 450c Track Loader and the process is the same.

These JD 450s are great older crawler/loader/dozers and are pretty easy to work on. Parts are still available and parts tractors are rather cheap to find.

I have the service manual for this dozer and will be doing all the work on it myself. I will try to get videos of everything I do on it so check back for more.

John Deere 450C Bulldozer

So we bought a JD 450-C bulldozer. Its a 1980 dozer with 6 way blade. I look it over and run it to make sure it all functions correctly. I have the service manual for it that I had purchased and downloaded online. I am going to go through it and replace the fluids, lube it up and fix some of the hoses.

The service manual has lots of great information about servicing these older dozers and keeping them running. The John Deere 450C is a popular model that has most of the parts still available and parts machines are all over.

John Deere 450c Track Loader Crawler Overview and Test Run – How well does it move dirt?

I made an overview video for anyone that wants to know a little about the JD 450c loader / dozer or see them run. I have a lot of dirt work to do on the farm and am always testing what I have at hand to see what they can do.

John Deere 317 Skid-steer cranks and starts then dies 3 seconds later. Lock out feature.

In this video I show you the lock out feature on a John Deere 317 skidsteer and how to enter the default lock out code. If the code was never changed, this should help get you running again.

I was lucky and it still was the default. I believe this will work on other John Deere skid-loaders from different years and models.
