hi, i am in need of a pair of track adjusting cylinders for a 1972 jd 450 crawler. does anyone think i can rebuild the old ones? they have never been off and when i try to adjust they just bypass in the cylinder. where can i get parts? thanks for any help!

I ran across a place that makes fabricated track adjusters [ instead of cast cylinders ]. Paint Valley Equipment Millersburg , Ohio..Much cheaper than OEM...

I suggest you pull them apart first. All the parts are available from Deere - but . . .
Many older 350s and 450s went though several types of seal revisions. The earliest two versions were thin rubber rings and would not hold once the cylinder got worn a bit. The third version is a hard neoprene type seal with a directional lip on it. I think it began to be used with the "C" series. They work great. In our Deere shop, with all the older 350s and 450s, we simple recut the groove in the piston to fit the newer seal on. If you buy a thin old style seal and have some wear, you're wasting your time.

I put new seals in my 355D loader because they were relatively cheap. I got mine from an aftermarket undercarriage shop. Maybe a seal place would have them as well. You could polish up the shaft with very fine emery cloth when you take it apart. The track adjusters are pretty simple. Dave
