Some where around 65 and it would be wise to bump the pump timing up +2 degress . Back when my buddy and i were farmen we ran ours alot higherbut back then parts were not hard to find and we had the time and money that when something let go we just fixed it and went on as maken spare parts must have been our goal in life . That old 450 was one heck of a tractor if ya ran it wright and did not get to carried away with tryen to win every tractor pull . Mine was a tric. and my buddys was a wide ft. both fast hitch , both pulled 4x14 540 semi mounts . In corn ground it was 3rd stick ahead and in sod sometimes 3rd but most 2nd unless we got into the other neighbors home brew and got crazy and opened the pumps up and then it was 4th in corn ground . you could count the rounds around the field on a still day with the row of black smoke hanging in the air and at night you could see over a foot of fire out the pipe . The hotter ya got them the better they would run , they ran better at the vary top of the run on the temp gauge. When we pulled them we would throw a feed or fertilizer sack over the rad to get them hot . They would plum eat a 560 or a 3020 and give a 4020 and 806 a run for there money maybe not as fast but would flat pull the distance but putting them in the 12500 class was scarry they would creek and crack and pop but they would drag that sled .
