Hello,
I am looking at buying a early 70's model John Deere 450B track loader. I looked at it a few days ago. It steers great both ways going forward. When in reverse and pull the left steering clutch it turns fine. When you pull the right steering clutch, you have to pull it fairly hard and it bogs the engine and doesn't turn good but it's fine going forward. It's missing belly pans and grill. On the right side, the pin for the lift that is in the main arm going up and down bolted to the machine that goes threw the lift arm going to the bucket is backed out some. Other than that the machine seems to run and operate good. The undercarriage looks good too. It has to turn over a few times when it's cold to crank. He is asking $6,000. I hate to buy it and get it home just to spend that much more to fix the steering issue Any help or info would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Ben
