You will need new discs from either a Case dealer or aftermarket supplier nearby - I can't help much there.ġ) Check to make sure there is no end float on the pinion shaft - (what the brakes run on).Ģ) Make sure any split or cotter pins you fit to clevis pins on the brake actuator are stainless steel. You've done well to get to where you are! Yep, brakes are GONE. Thanks.this forum is very insightful! Oh yeah, I gave $5k for her. They "look" a littler different.will they fit my girl? Otherwise, any advice as to where I might look around for a decent used set (I'm in NW Ohio). Also, I've got my eye on a used, good shape set of tracks / rear final drive sprockets that are off of a 1977. Is it possible to "adjust" clutches? Any way to confirm condition of torque converter? Any other things I should be weary of that would lead to low / slow crawling power? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I'm going to attempt to attach a pic of her.let's see if this works. What I'm after here is any advice or insight to look for to better assess her condition. I haven't tried running her since I've gotten her home because I have things removed to access the brakes. I'm worried that I may have clutch issues. The guy told me that the reason for having to toddle around in low range was due to the clogged filters (and by golly they were dirty). She starts up really good, sounds strong, doesn't blow any smoke but I'm wondering if I'm in for a high level repair job with the clutches and / or torque converter. I've done more research since I've gotten her home and (my nature) fear the worst about her condition. I plan on pulling the drums out tomorrow (today fun filled with kids soccer games and nephew's birthday party). SO, since I've gotten her home, I've removed the deteriorated master cylinders and slave cylinders and have replaced fuel filters and air filter. I knew going in that I'd have some work to do.question is / was, just what am I in for!? Undercarriage, oh, not the best but maybe 20% life left in her. When I arrived there, they were working her to clear a path next to the barn and push up a stump so, she seemed to be reasonably solid. He said he just used the transmission to steer. That and the brakes were shot, were that way when previous owner purchased it 5 years ago. So, I test drove my girl at the former owner's residence and was advised to keep it in low range because the fuel filters were dirty and it would "puke out". My first time operating a dozer, I've worked a skidsteer and back hoe and have a compact tractor so, I'm not exactly an ameteur with heavy equipment but, not quite a novice either. My intention is to build my own pond and build some whoopedy doos for the kid's dirtbikes and various landscape work. Ok, so, I recently bought a 1973 Case 450 dozer.
