JD 450C Dozer

[TXBobcat]

I am trying to figure out the correct procedure for installing a new top carrier track roller on on a JD 450C. The old roller broke off the shaft, and at this point, the old shaft is what is left, attached to the bracket.

I have purhcased a new part, which includes the roller and shaft all in one piece. I am assuming the old shaft is pressed into the bracket; therefore, I will need to remove the bracket holding the old shaft, then have the old shaft pressed out, on the new one pressed in.

Thanks in advance for any advice,
Bob

The right service manual before digging into the job at hand would be the best $$ spent ---Find it here >http://www.johndeeretechinfo.com/index.cfm?event=productDetails&product_id=40241&

Been to long since i looked at a 450C, don't think you need a press. Big sledge hammer and a good aim.

Take torch and heat a spot on the carrier for the roller and then take a drift and a 5 lb hammer it will drive out. Heat in the center of carrier. If this does not work unbolt the carrier and go to a press. Remember you have to align the carrrier roller staight between the sprocket and front idler.
