John Deere 450C / 6405-6415 Series Common Problems This Manual Covers

John Deere 450C crawler loses reverse drive or slips on a steep hill. p. 248

Inspect the final drive sealing faces on page 248. Replace them if the highly polished sealing band is not uniform. When reassembling, torque the H-L-R transmission pinion shaft nut to 300 Ib-ft. [41.476 kg-m] as shown on page 260.

Manual Section: H-L-R Transmission
Crawler sprocket teeth become pointed instead of flat and track chain pitch lengthens. p. 405

Measure the track wear on page 405. Rotate pins and bushings if the distance across four pins exceeds 25.67 in. (652.1 mm). Replace the drive sprocket if excessively worn, tightening F-grade cap screws to 425 Ib-ft (576 N-m) as directed on page 441.

Manual Section: Tracks
Broken frame rails at the steering housing attachment with failing amateur weld repairs. p. 450

Grind out old welds completely. Weld track frame channel wear strips using a 5/32-inch diameter low hydrogen AWS-ASTM E-7018 covered electrode at 100 to 115 amps per page 450. Tighten the rear crossbar cap-to-bracket cap screws to exactly 250 Ib-ft (339 N-m).

Manual Section: Track Frame Assembly
Starting motor not operating or engine cranks too slowly to fire in cold weather. p. 189

Test the battery cells with a hydrometer. Verify the full charge specific gravity reaches 1.260 as specified on page 189. If the starting system lacks power, inspect the alternator and torque the charging system brush screws to 16 to 20 lb-in. (22 to 27 N-m).
