Recovery mission of a John Deere 455E track loader

Went to go look at a local machine and ended up buying it. Follow along as we go to pick it up. The engine is stuck so we will have to check that out in another video.
Let me know what you think.

Great video 👍 soak the engine in “mystery fluid” and see if it unlocks , and you get it running . It would be good video to watch 😀 . If the engine is going to be scraped would be good to see it taken apart to see what’s wrecked inside . Your videos are always new and interesting . Thank you

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Yep for sure

[@Aerospace_EdC]

Clint, love your videos. Lots of variety from working on the auction equipment, building a camper, rebuilding Dirt Perfect's trailer and now resurrecting a "it ran when it was parked 10 years ago track loader". I know you guys will get it going. This one almost was a "will it start" video lol.

[@Aerospace_EdC]

To add .... C&C Trailer ---- Out of business lol

[@JohnStevenson-h9c]

I love the sound of those pickups😄😄😄

[@tommybritton9273]

The green Ford utility body sounds awsome going down the road Clint 👍👍

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@wallacejeffery5786]

Wow, y’all loaded that puppy up quick

[@keithcarter4086]

Of course we want to see you get it going!

[@cornwasher]

I admire that trailer used to haul the loader. First class for sure.

[@sudd2685]

I really like this channel, Clint’s a class act, a great family man, humble, no bad language, thank you for your videos, going to buy me a hoodie.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Much appreciated

[@koda8643]

Oh it’s gonna look good after your done with it. Everything y’all has redone already looked amazing.

[@rogerferris3720]

Got to get it running, the old machines are the best.

[@latisimusd]

Hopefully that engine lockup is simply fluid in the cylinder and nothing bent. You guys work great as a team - "not your first rodeo". Looks like fun for all us watchers. Thanks for sharing!

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks for watching

[@n7565j]

Excellent video, but you be nice to your daddy!!! I think of my father everyday, and would give anything and everything for one more chance to tell him how much I appreciate everything he did for us!!! Take care Mr C&C!!!

[@tracyeaves1084]

Good luck on fixing the loader

[@localcrew]

My homeboy Larry has had a 450C for years. Without any warning one of the connecting rods tried to escape through the engine block. He bought another one for the engine and ended up fixing up the second one instead. They’re very versatile and easy to transport. If you get this one running and put serviceable undercarriage on it you should have no trouble selling it - especially with the 4 in 1 bucket. Keep us posted. 👍

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Will do

[@jcmathisiii6432]

Those lil Deere's were awesome tractors. Would run forever.

[@danielpullum1907]

A very efficient operation for you Ole Southern Indiana Boys!!!!!~ LOL

[@rp1645]

Thank you for trying to save her. Meany a old times with the 450-C JD. By my home growing up, the sewer main line guys always had a 450 JD with the backhoe on back. NO hoepack's They would use them on backfill. They had the Backhoe on rear, just not use it. Lots of jobs around my home they used crawler Loader's for backfill. And running Pea gravel. I did lots of mainline sewers through easement. No road built yet. So to muddy for wheel loader use. The Front Loader that was the Fastest for running those long runs for Pea gravel was the old CASE 850-B we had. That Loader with the power track ( high forward on one lever low back on other lever) the job supervisor liked the speed of Case track loaders. We had International's 125s no CATS, the company RENTED lots of machine from CASE.

[@ROGE444]

I love to see a video with repairs, paint and getting the 455E ready to sell.

[@patriot1182]

Cosmetically it looks nice! Not as nice as my 1984 450D with a 6 way but nice! LOL I bet when you get done with it ,it will look a lot better than mine! Nice job!

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

time will tell

[@Silverhornet81]

C&C will get it running and have it looking purty.

[@rockeerockey6941]

I like that you chained it to the hard points & not the tracks! Excellent

[@Crewsy]

Kevin @5:42 "It's a lot like Deliverance here." I got the same vibe. If you hear a banjo, RUN!

[@Wood.Water.Camping]

That went awfully smooth loading that up. But I guess you guys are professionals 😆. Another awesome video and of course we want to see it run

[@MatthewJRedmond]

Can't wait to see her running and digging dirt again. Definitely fix her up for sure. Looking forward to it 😁👍

[@danyarbrough7847]

Looks worth pursuing and if it makes sense to fix it. Can always use a project if the shop is slow.

[@jarmstrong2843]

I agree with another post that maybe you should try some Marvel Mystery Oil and put into each cylinder and let sit for a couple of days. I helped a friend a few years ago load the exact model of loader and its engine was locked up tighter than a kid who ate a jar of peanut butter. It took a few hits with the starter and the engine eventually broke loose and started. It has been running ever since. There is something definitely good about mystery oil since I have seen people do some wacky things over the years with it to get engines running again. It’s worth a try and may save a lot of time, labor and expense of parts.

[@johnkeets8333]

Great video love to see running again got to look after the older machines.

[@gandjboyd7872]

It would be cool to see this restored , it always interesting to see the process but then I'm not the one paying for it. thanks for the video

[@johngarran7173]

That was a fine machine when it was first put into service. Good luck putting it back in working condition.

[@thomasdesmond2248]

Your dad beating us up. Lol God bless

[@jimlisterman7703]

Trailer looks BRAND NEW ! Agree with "innertubemac" about mystery fluid. Personally just used two quarts Marvel Mystery Oil soaking motorcycle fuel tank on 1981 Honda 750K . It's been sitting unused for past eleven years. Fuel that I pumped out of the tank was green !!!! Talk about OLD & PUTRID. Marvel Mystery Oil = GREAT STUFF. JimInCincy

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@dansbrown1313]

Another demonstration of the C&C precision team at work! at the 14:08 time stamp, Kevin dropped a 10' chain in the grass. With the hectic pace, I wondered if he picked it up before you left? He probably did but I wondered. Thanks Clinton for another fun video.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

We got it I believe

[@spencerrobinson2794]

Yeah, I didn’t see anyone get it…either

[@RichardHeadGaming]

Nice when you find flippers or parts right i your back yard.

[@dansevern3291]

I'm just happy to see I'm not the only one in the country who still has lever-type boomers.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Lol

[@tomasrom9073]

Please bring it back to life, what a gem

[@slytrader]

Nice looking old John Deere 455E. I would like to see you fix it up and get it running again. I understand can't put more into it than it's worth. Make somebody a nice machine around the farm.

[@explorationuk6737]

She be a little jem you have there ( money pit) jem same thing lol ..can't wait to see this old girl run again ..Great work as always guys .. Peace n love from Cumbria UK 🇬🇧 ❤

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks for watching

[@jeffreykbevins7116]

Another great video !!! The track loader looks good . Hoping that you can get it going without doing an engine swap, maybe you might get lucky again . It probably has the same motor in it as my 1970 400 John Deere backhoe, that I have here on the farm . Looking forward to seeing you all working on it . Be careful and stay safe and keep on making us more videos. As always, Jeffrey !!!

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@rickfrancis5598]

Sometimes there truthful though I haven't watched the video yet but I'm sure you're going to tell us as you're really good with that stuff Clint. Your damn good mechanic and so love you Dad and just how he is he reminds me a lot of my grandfather

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@railroadman57]

Nice video I would like to see you getting the old shovel dozer running I enjoy your content a lot .

[@johnblake3863]

I was really impressed with the power of the 310. I learned something! Thanks.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Strong machines

[@mr.homelite8490]

Let's see the old girl brought to life

[@thomasyerbey337]

Great video Clint enjoyed watching I hope you get it running again 🇺🇲

[@alcopower5710]

Would love to see a part 2 getting that machine running. 👍

[@andysukosd8177]

Great video guys, great recovery. Enjoyed this one very much, Thank you !

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@terryroberson8851]

Your father is a very good operator

[@MM-px2qu]

If I was dad driving the backhoe I'd stop and get a snack for the ride to pass the time

[@royceabbottsexcavation3709]

Definitely fix it up. Save them older buckets.

[@bobbydawson7706]

Enjoyed the vedio and watching the old Dozier being recovered 👌

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@billbyrnes9505]

Who you gonna call, " Letsdig18, " he likes putting money in old equipment. 😁😁😁😁😁👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@MySynthDungeon]

Friday night ,,,2 pints in ,,Enjoying ,,Cheers!!;-)!!!

[@oddtechman]

Got yourself a slight project there Clint lol.. That's the kind of dozer Mustie1 or Matt over at Diesel Creek would be salvaging just for the fun of it!. That backhoe sure proved it's usefulness there.. good advert for sale, thats for sure with that recovery in mind

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

yep

[@williammatthews2948]

It's a good thing the tracks weren't frozen up too.

[@galeogle]

Just a thought, when I used to work on farm tractors with front end loader. I would get a peace of pipe, and cut it off to length, and split it length wise just big enough to slip over the rams and set them on the cylinders and then let the loader rest on the pipe for safety or to move it around like you are doing. It works better than a 2x4, and I didn't have to put all of those chains on to hold up the loader. But you have to do with what you have, and that's all that matters.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Yep thanks

[@ThePullnfool]

Angle iron.. Not all that work splitting pipe..

[@schneiderexc3557]

That service truck sounds good!

[@russellrankin7980]

Good to see the big boss with ya!

[@derrickpettit3489]

Yeah we wanna see it goin Clint haha, mechanicing videos coming hopefully, thanks for sharing

[@jeffhitchcock3368]

Thanks for bringing us along

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks for watching

[@TheHelgadog]

Very nice little loader. Would be an extremely handy farm machine!

[@f250ford2004]

A JD 450 shovel dozer is what I learned on back in the 60s

[@tomroderick5313]

Great content let’s see if you can get it running thanks for the video

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks for watching

[@rugerfarming5387]

Thanks Clinton i love the track loader videos.

[@ronrussell4850]

Definitely would like to see you get into this one and see if you can get the engine unstuck and running. I like that size machine!

[@chuckjohnson8407]

That 450 would look good cleaned up and painted OD green.

[@thatdave86]

Them trucks sound cool 😎 Stages in life of a operator,young and cautious ,bit older and knows and overconfident,bit older and is experienced and calm and collected,much older had done everything,and very critical ,and still wants to be in control,but has no boundaries now and it's full on at all cost ,because they older and know best , and can't slow down for fear of losing the touch !that's just a observation of actions 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 Imagine the rebuttal if the camera got smoked 😜

[@ScotReeder]

I'm in north central Indiana. I'm going to make a road trip for a hat this summer when we come down to Linton to the strip pits.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Stop on by

[@robertmilligan2792]

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Yep thanks

[@robertrousseau5264]

What let's get it running sounds like it would be a good video to see how it sounds this was a good video as always okay this is Bob from Vero Beach Florida God bless and have a great day and say safe

[@christianshockey4422]

You get that too come to life , I would be interested in purchasing it !!!

[@darrylmarsh5434]

Like the sound of your vehicle

[@ingcampthree4523]

Get that boat too, a little thick paint and it would be a looker.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Umm no

[@scotabot7826]

Awesome machine!! Clint, you have got to do video series on the IH175 and the JD455. Both of those machines are great tractors. I used to run a 175 loading sandstone, and it was a blast!!!

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

We plan to

[@bobpatrick7152]

nice job in moving the 1978 455E

[@JohnVanMeter58]

I worked on the same projects as that machine was used on.

[@shamesplanters7093]

Yep. Looks fun getter did👍🥶🐲

[@derrillbalshaw1199]

She'll make a good track loader for someone. Hope you decide to try and get her up and running.

[@jimmycurran5355]

Can't wait to see you getting this going.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

yep will probably be a bit but we will get to it!

[@jasonlight4982]

Nice rain funnel right into the motor

[@IT_Dinosaur]

Now I know who the other C in C&C is. Dad has y'all Trained. No verbal instructions needed.

[@BeytekinConstructionMachinery]

Hope, the trackloader becomes a second chance to work for someone.

[@eavesstreet6307]

You guys got a dream job if you would even call it a job.

[@magnificentshine1]

Man I LOVE your OBS. I own a couple of them myself. Great vid!

[@hentycatsanctuary2951]

Nice recovery and safe too, if it dont run looks ok for parts

[@stevetemby4982]

Would love to see it come back to life, but the $$ have to come first. Another great video, fingers crossed it doesn't take too much to get it going 🤞🇺🇲🇦🇺

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Yep for sure

[@snakebite2841]

Thanks Clint Awesome video as always I don't think it's gonna take too much to get that old girl Running If the price is right I might swing by and buy that old girl from you She's just the right size For a few jobs I have around the old Homestead Looking forward to the next video brother

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@mikenixon9164]

Get it going. No need to tell your dad to hurry up,he's old school.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

lol Right

[@breikowski]

Can not believe you left that sweetheart of a fixer upper boat just sitting there!

[@kenore4003]

Boat=break out another thousand

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Lol

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

I was getting ready to say the same thing 🤣😂

[@jmit5650]

A boat is hole in the water to dump money into.

[@ken.outside]

I can't imagine that old track loader is worth putting the money in to. I would bet it would part out for much more than in working order. I might be worth it for an individual to do the work but paying shop rates it might be difficult to make the margin that would make it worth it.

[@mischef18]

Enjoyed this bro, yep look forward to see what you end up doing with it. Safe travels

[@doug9418]

Fun video, yes would be awesome to see the video of rebuild. 🇺🇸

[@craiggreenhalgh1082]

Your Green Camera/Tool Truck Sounds Awesome👏👏😎👍

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@rpggmg1]

Looks like a great project series !!

[@kenmccall8051]

Man Clint that went to eazy.😎✌️👌👍🇺🇲

[@66millworker]

Love to see what you can do with it. I have a 450 one like it that needs work.

[@heatherlane9270]

Oh my gosh what will you bring home next! Fun to watch - will it work - eventually.

[@gmcjimmy3580]

I'd love to see the old girl run again.
