Sorry to beat a dead horse, but I've read everything I could find on the brake postings about the case 450. What a great group with a boatload of hands on experience. Thanks for your write ups and discussionsSo here's my question. I now own a 1966 case 450 loader, it has the two master cylinders under the floor - No brakes, nothing happens, haven;t worked for years etc.. - I'll probably replace the masters with napa parts, slaves from Wyoming and the actual brake "thing" - thus I'm trying to figure out if the "thing" will be a disk or bands. Can someone tell me if the 1966 D450 crawler/loader has bands or disk. Assuming that they are disk, it appears that they can be changed in place (apparently by an upside down, very skinny person with no elbows) In general, could it be a weekend project if no wierd problems are encountered? Any recomeendations on the where to buy the brake disk/bands? Hard to believe, but I'm here in Iowa and there isn't a flat spot on my property, and knowing me, I'm thinking brakes might be nice option to keep me out of the pond -and yes, they are not for turning or general everyday use - I just want to be able to stop on the hills if needed. Any thoughts would be appreciated - Thanks Irvin
