Couple years ago, friend of mine sold his acreage. Moved to town. Get a call, I know your into old red tractors. I left one at my old place, its free. No idea what I was getting, took truck & trailer. Told it died where its sitting. Its a 1957 W450 with a front end loader. So I winched it onto the trailer & towed it home 18 miles. Cut the loader off, took to dump. It wasn't worth saving, already have an IH 560D loader tractor. My shop is finally done, towed the W450 inside.
The wiring of the W450 is a rat's nest. Replaced the coil & ran couple wires to make it run. Got engine to turn over & have spark. Poured gas in the cylinders, its came to life. Cleaned sediment bowl out, same as gas tank. Poured some gas into tank, started to run out of carb. Then it quit leaking. It the button & came to life!
Great I thought, this is going to be the snowblower tractor. Found a 4ft front mount snowblower of local ads. Finally got brackets made up last night. It will barely move a 3" x 12 ram to move the blower. I can just push the blower around, so its not that heavy. When New Holland sold this snowblower for there tractors, ram was only a 2" ram.
The engine loads up when trying to move the ram, both lines get smoking hot when using hydraulics. Oil level is good, checked that. Going to take screen out of bottom of tank. I read about screen & orifice in the safety/regulator valve. Where is this? Would that be my problem? Not sure how this tractor ran a loader with 4 rams. But its been sitting for couple years now.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of David Brown - by Samuel Kennedy. I was born in 1950 and reared on my family’s 100 acre farm. It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
