Getting the “easy” kinks worked out of my new haha 60’s case 450. Serial 3027190. Undercarriage repairs will be on short list once I make sure she is solid. Newer straight 450, 450b and 450c chain seems to be more plentiful. What interchanges if anything? If I were to come across a newer 450 with ok interchange could everything be swapped over? Thanks
The chains have numbers cast on the links and from there you can determine what you need. The original chains will be Berco.
Thanks. I looked for the numbers on the chains. Appears to be CA282 but I need to do some cleaning to make sure that’s correct. It also says Berco Sealed. My understanding is newer 450s had a different pitch, bolt pattern etc. however if I were to buy a newer salvage machine, what all would need swapped to run the newer style chain? Sprockets only? Idlers, bottom rollers, top roller etc.
My guess is that you'll have to talk to a track shop in order to find compatible parts. Everywhere I go on the net the information is for dealers only so nothing has changed in quite a few years when I was looking for near obsolete track gear. Then a trackshop I dealt with had a **** load of information and could cross-reference with other manufacturers.
