I'm not sure what it is. Since the pump on your 450 (unless IH changed them) is the same design as mine, I assume my dealer sold me packing made out of the same material. This is not a joke, when my pump spits out the packing it is very flat, the pieces looked like pieces of leaves, veins and all. After looking at the pump sleeve closer, it appears that the packing should stay out of the threaded area, but that is only about 3/8 inch. Once the packing gets into the threads it seems to be doomed. But, each piece of packing is 1/4 inch thick, it probably takes at least 3 staggered to take care of the gap, I used 4. That's 1 inch of packing that has to fit is a 3/8 inch area, so it has to be compressed over 50% of it's thickness. At the moment, some is in the threads, according to my measurements. Tempted to take the pump off for the second time and start over.
