In addition to all the good advice and comments in the other posts, let me add that the 450 diesel was the biggest engine, displacement wise, of the MD-400D-450D line and was the most prone to head cracking problems---which were usually the result of improper cooldown/shutdown technique and overheating because of the bigger displacement with the same, more or less, cooling ability. Also note that the 450 gas has somewhat more power than the diesel.....Now this can be argued, but look at the Nebraska tests on both tractors. In the past I have been around both and noticed the difference. I will readily admit however, that a good 450 281 cu. in. diesel is much easier on fuel than a 450 281 cu. in. gasser.
