John Deere 4450 in the snow. This tractor was a project of mine about ten years ago. New transmission, cab interior and some cosmetic clean up. Sold it soon after. Wished I didn't. It was a nice tractor.

Hey folks — I’ve got a John Deere 450G LT IV Dozer on loan from a buddy. I used it a few times, then parked it out front to wait for better weather. Twice now, an old timer has rolled down his window to yell at me: > I figured he wasn’t wrong, so today I broke out the shovel and cleaned things out. My assumption is that if I leave dirt packed in there, especially if it rains or freezes, it could seize things up. Here's a gallery of what it looked like after I cleaned it: 📸 [https://imgur.com/a/Yzk8tzC](https://imgur.com/a/Yzk8tzC) **Question for you seasoned folks:** Does this look clean enough? Is there anything I missed or should go back over? I’m not running it every day — just want to avoid damaging my buddy’s machine by letting it sit dirty too long. Appreciate any wisdom or tough love.
