On the pin in the track I have laid a small bead as a backup as you described and painted that pin orange so I can keep an eye on it. nice video.

Thank you Sir ... I just bought a 450C and I am having issues as well . This helps a lot . Thank you ,

[@jeffreyhoskins8955]

Getting ready to tear into my 450Jd thanks

[@azriel4446]

You could drill a half inch hole on each end, tap them and use a half inch bolt with thick washers under the bolts.

Many thanks, I'm in OZ and have issues with 455G. Glenn

Well done sir getting that all done in a standard workshop.

Chances I’ll ever work on a dozer? None! But I’ve watched all the rebuild videos. I like your style, the camera work and the little tips here and there that apply to mechanical things. From one shade tree mechanic to another, great jobs

[@themadmailler]

Awesome, thank you!

[@SaturdayNiteSpecial]

Love the Deere how-to's!! Thanks

[@themadmailler]

Awesome! thanks!

[@dDayye]

Thanks for your videos and help, I really enjoy them.

[@themadmailler]

I'm glad they are well liked videos! thanks for watching.

I have a 350c. The track seems stretched to the end of the rail. Will require new bushings/bearing?for front idler. Wondering if I can remove one link from the track as well.

[@themadmailler]

sounds like the pins and bushings are worn out.

[@francoisbouvier7861]

@@themadmailler my father suggested that. They don't seem to be all that bad. Definitely lots of play in the idler. That repair will help but won't gain a whole lot of adjustment. Going to resurface or replace the adjustment pistons while I have the tracks split.

Good work, you make it look simple

[@duncantaylor6183]

Thanks so much

[@yannigtanguy2449]

Is the master pin directional on this style of track? I noticed that you drove it out the same direction you drove it back in. If it was tapered wouldn’t it want back back in from inside to outside of the track? I know you’re was loose so maybe it doesn’t matter.

[@themadmailler]

it's not tapered, both ends are press fits. Therefore, the pin can be pushed in/out either direction.

nice job

I had a question for my John Deere 350 B I had a guy tighten the clutch is up it worked fine and then one of my employees put way too much fluid in the transmission now time to time when I go to put it in drive it hesitates what would be the calls of that and ????

One side of my 1963 JD 2010 dozer is not working. will adjustments to brake-clutch settings improve turning left-right

[@themadmailler]

yes, assuming your clutch and/or brake isn't smoked.

Thank you.. aloha

[@tomriggle3217]

Where do you get the track Adjusters I got a 450c and I'm doing basically the same thing you did to yours but my Trac adjusters bad

[@themadmailler]

I found all the parts I needed on Ebay.

[@burtlade1705]

Good Job!!

[@tommyladd3324]

I got what looks like a weep hole on the bottom side when I put geese in it just comes out

[@themadmailler]

that is the hole that the grease comes out of when you open up the relief to loosen the track. there is a bolt with a locknut next to the zerk, if it's loose it will allow grease to come out.

[@morales25860]

Please clutch remplacement
