A local lot (non Deere) has a JD 450 TLB comming in this weekend on trade that I will be looking at Monday. They said price will be $9500 but know very little about it. Can anyone give me some info on this TLB. HP? Features? Trouble spots I should pay closer attention to when testing? I have been searching and what does the B, C, or D after 450 mean? Any sites with 450 info listed. Where do I find serial/model numbers and cross that to year.
Thanks for any help.

Hello, I just bought a 450c crawler about a year ago after owning a 350c for years. I was told the 450 (C model) was one of the best dozers around with very reliable expectations. They run on wet clutches which seldom go out. The older units (A, B models) have dry clutches and are more prone to going out. Also there are several upgrades on the hydraulic pump along with other various details. When test driving pay attention to the clutches, and put it under a load to see if the tracks both turn. Look for cracks where the tractor mounts to the tracks and pay attention for oil leaks around the final drives. Check for rounded points on the drive sprockets and the wear on the track. A new under carriage on this unit cost $7000 alone. Put a bar on the back sprocket and pry on the frame to see if the back sprocket bearings are out. Ask lots of questions about the hours and run the thing long enough to see if the meter works. Good luck, just some points I always look at, gttc
