Hi All,
I recently purchased a John Deere 450C which was a great investment. There is one aspect of the machine that I could use some help finding a solution and that is the tilting function on the blade gets bound up from small debris like sand or dirt. This symptom occurs after short use and it is caused from the blade tilting sliders binding or getting gummed up. I could understand this if it was something big causing the blade from not rotating but it is not the case and a little frustrating. I have to power wash the area and with the machine running try and rotate it back and forth until these small debris are completely washed free.
I really could use some helpful advice on how to remedy this problem or others who have similar cases and what you did to solve the problem?
It is very critical for the blade to be able to tilt while trying to grade a slope.
Below is a picture of the blade tilting sliders.
