Just replaced steering clutches in my 69
450 dozer. The question is why does engine
wanna die when I turn one way?

Sounds like the clutch is not disengaging... and the brake is applying..

Everything is new. This might sound stupid. But how to I fix that. And the pressure plate fingers are adjusted right with tool

I am not exactly sure of the adjustment procedure on your unit,,but in theory as you pull the lever back a bit the clutch should start to disengage (to give you a slow turn),,pulling it back more it should completely disengage (letting the opposite clutch do all the driving),,then a bit more and the brake should start to apply (forcing the turn),,then pulling back all the way and the brake should be on fully ( making for a tight turn) ....It seems like yours is letting the brake apply too soon....
