It is a 15 sp. PS. I had every moving part out of the castings. The engine block had the back mounting face broken off. The transmission housing and the center rear end housing where broken at the back of the transmission. One axle was bent. I had the engine, transmission, and rear end stripped to the bare castings. The cab is off of a another tractor. The hood is the original with the factory paint. We never could figure out how the engine was broken out of the frame rails but did not upset the front axle or damage the hood. The fuel tank, the MFWD axle and the frame rails where setting about twenty feet from the crossing. The engine, transmission and cab half where rolled about 500 feet down the tracks. I picked up pieces for two days along the accident site.
What made me think about this was seeing Allen have his pickup transmission in the bed of his pickup. I had pallets of parts setting in three different barns. My sons thought that it would never be back together. I had taken everything apart and sorted out the damaged stuff. I only had to get the manual out for the top transmission shaft. The power shift clutch packs where simple as I have done hundreds of them. At one time I had two neighboring dealers that would bring their clutch packs to me to rebuild them for them. They said mine had fewer problems then the ones JD reman was sending them. Don't know if that is true or not but I could do them for half what JD wanted.
I did buy all new wiring harnesses. The AC system was completely new too. This tractor was the big dog for us until two years ago I redid a JD 4960. So the JD 4450 gets the lighter jobs now.
I have a JD 4320 that I am building right now. I have been working on getting all of the parts together. I bought the tractor three years ago. It is completely stripped down the the casting right now. I have done three of my tractors this way. I have much more than market price in them but they are as good as they where new. SO if I have 25K in this JD 4320 what would a new one be??? 100k??

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
