Case TV450 Compact Track Loader: Alpha-Series Vertical-Lift CTL
The Case TV450 is part of Case’s alpha-series TV (vertical-lift) compact track loader range — Tier 4 Final compact diesel, hydrostatic dual-path drive on a tracked undercarriage, and vertical-lift loader geometry that maximizes forward reach at full height. Best on truck-loading and stacking work where reach matters and ground pressure matters even more.
Where the TV450 fits in the Case skid steer / CTL line
The TV450 sits in Case’s alpha-series TV (vertical-lift) compact track loader range between the Case TV380 and the Case TV450B. Tracked undercarriage, vertical-lift loader geometry, Tier 4 Final aftertreatment. The vertical-lift arc keeps the bucket forward as it rises — the geometry of choice when you need to clear a truck side rail at full height rather than dig low and tight.

Engine, hydraulics, and drivetrain
The TV450 runs a Tier 4 Final compact diesel through a hydrostatic dual-path drivetrain on a tracked undercarriage. Loader hydraulics use a load-sensing piston pump with electrohydraulic control valves. Vertical-lift geometry keeps the bucket forward through the lift arc — best matched to truck-loading and stacking applications where reach at full height pays for itself every load.
CTL undercarriage life is the largest single recurring cost on this machine class. Sprocket, roller, idler, and chain monitoring is not optional — it is the difference between scheduled replacement at end-of-life and an unplanned breakdown that takes the rest of the undercarriage with it.
Common service items on the TV450
- Engine internals: Tier 4 Final compact diesel: pistons, rings, sleeves, bearings, gaskets. Common-rail high-pressure injection on Tier 4 builds.
- Tier 4 aftertreatment: DPF service intervals, DEF tank and dosing module, SCR catalyst, EGR cooler service.
- Fuel system: Common-rail injectors, lift pump, very tight water-separator filtration.
- Cooling system: Radiator, water pump, thermostat, fan, charge-air cooler, hoses, belts.
- Hydraulics: Loader lift and bucket tilt cylinder seal kits (86570919 / 86570931 / 86570922 cross-fit on NH/Case alpha-series), piston-pump rebuilds, electrohydraulic control valves.
- Drivetrain: Hydrostatic dual-path pumps and drive motors, charge pump, filters. CTL undercarriage adds track chains, sprockets, idlers, and rollers.
- Bucket coupler hardware: 47396814K bucket pin kit cross-fits L216–L230, C232–C238, SR160–SR250, SV185–SV300, TV380, TR270–TR340 — high-volume coupler service kit.
- Hardware: 191048A2 axle stud & nut cross-fits broadly across the Case skid steer line.
- Brakes / control: Park brake, control linkage, 48139268 control shock absorber on Case/NH alpha-series control valves.
- Electrical / ECU: Engine ECU, machine controller, instrument cluster, sensors, wiring harness, telematics module.
- Cab / operator station: Cab HVAC, seat, gauges, joystick controls, cab glass, 47405956 windshield wiper blade on cab-equipped units.

Need a part for your Case TV450 Compact Track Loader?
Aftertreatment components, hydrostatic drive parts, and undercarriage wear items are the highest-volume requests on a TV450. Call our parts team with your serial number and we’ll match the right component to your machine.
Request a PartWhat to verify before ordering
- Aftertreatment + undercarriage generation. Tier 4 Final aftertreatment configuration varies by build year; CTL undercarriage components saw revisions — confirm by serial.
- Serial number. Confirm the serial on the Case TV450 before ordering year-specific parts.
- Engine serial. Internal engine parts must match the engine serial number.
- Hydraulic cylinder bore. Cylinder seal kit fit depends on bore dimension — measure before ordering.
- Cab vs. ROPS canopy. Operator station equipment varied between configurations.
Why the TV450 still earns a paycheck
The Case TV450 is the alpha-series CTL that pairs vertical-lift loader geometry with a tracked undercarriage — flotation for soft material plus forward reach at full height. Truck-loading, stacking, and high-capacity material handling on soft ground are exactly the work this machine was designed for.
Maintenance priorities on a TV450: clean fuel and tight water separation, DPF regen behavior, hydrostatic charge pressure, and undercarriage wear monitoring (track tension, sprocket and roller wear, idler condition). Get those right and the rest of the machine takes care of itself.
