John Deere 450G Dozer with Backhoe

[JWB Contracting]

We thought we better gear up for our upcoming utility construction season. We have 2 350C widepads loaders equiped with angle dozers and backhoes in service for over 25 years. Should make a good spare, except for soft ground. We keep a 450C Dozer Backhoe with 33" pads in reserve.

The backhoe was originally a 9300. Someone skillfully removed the swing box and installed swing cylinders from a 410 deere. They did a great job of putting it together and the hoe has move than enough power to dig thru frost and reposition the machine for digging as needed. They even added longer controls so you can swivel the operators seat and operate the hoe from inside the heated cab.

Has brand new track chains, pads and sprockets. We will be removing the cab and installing an open ROPS. Other than replacing the backhoe mounting pins and some minor welding on the backhoe it should be ready to work. We wish the previous owner hadn't painted it as it is going to stick out in our fleet of older equipment.[][/img]

Hi,

Too bad you're not down here in NC near me. I'd offer to 'store' the machine here and keep it out of your way, seeing as it's a spare.

I'd even put an addition onto the barn to keep it out of the weather while I was 'storing' it for you.

Of course, you'd have to leave me a key so I could start it up once a week or so to keep it from getting 'sit-itis' while it was being 'stored'.

Do I need the: ???

Wanna trade it for my 420c??

Again, do I need the ??

later!

Now that is a nice machine. Wish the cab was staying.
