    On the top of the hydr pump is an electric solenoid. There is a suttle valve under that that will get dirty and not work right. Remove and disassemble that valve. Its not hard to do

    Blown Engine

    That should be a 414 Cubic Inch (6068) John Deere engine. Worse thing about a John Deere engine is the rods. Change bearings and Rod bolts at 5 to 6 thousands hours and they will run a lot of hours. There should be a lot of them out there as John Deere used them in a lot of Construction...

    Cat vs John Deere Dozers

    I think You are doing what you accused others of doing "putting a plug in for you favorite machine" I don't care what brand a machine is. I want the best machine for the job. John Deere and Komatsu has came a long way the last few years. In the smaller Dozers from my experience John Deere is...

    Sucking Trash And How To Stop It

    I Think reversing the fan would cause the machine to overheat faster ?? The holes in the grill are large enough that bigger stuff would plug the radiator. They run hot enough the way they are. When I have time I want to check a few things out and find out were the stuff is coming from. It...

    Sucking Trash And How To Stop It

    Mine has a perforated hood and perforated engine enclosures. I think it would over heat if everything was not perforated. I have a cheap cordless vac that I suck the stuff out of the belly pan.

    here show some pics of CAT D6G bulldozer, which is assembled in China..

    The base machine is about the same as a D6E. They have the steer clutches and turning brakes together on the left side of the operator and added a single foot brake. Some of the Enclosed cabs are ROPS and some are not ROPS. I have only seen them in a seven roller frame, don't know if they are...

    How to change a 1989 cat 235 from deere to Cat controls

    You do not want to change the lines on the main valve as each spool is rated for the flow needed for that cylinder to work the right speed. The lift cylinders need more oil than the boom or bucket cylinder. I think the swing has a cushion valve in it. Just change the pilot valve lines around and...

    can someone steer me in the right direction?

    I bought a set of bolt on rubber pads for a 200 size machine a few years ago. They work OK as long as you don't try to turn the machine or if the machine skids on the pads. If that happens it just tears them up. After wrecking many of the pads I just gave up on them and use old tires. They are...

    john deere 690 E LC comments

    Zaxis I'm glad you like your Hitachi If you used the wrong oil in the 690E that was a big part of your problem. Everything in the machine is tied together and if the pump is not working right the controller try to compensate and everything else will not work right. Controller will try to...

    What's this for on top of my blade?

    You hit it on the head. I have a round bar weld on the top of one of the D6's like that that I use as a dead man. Keeps the cable from getting cut or fraying when you run the cable over the top of the blade. Running the cable over the top of the blade puts down pressure on the blade.

    Cat saves the Deere

    SE-Ia Cowman You could of not hit it on the head better. I started doing construction work because a local contractor took me to the cleaners not once but twice. Bad on me for the second time. I bought my first dozer and never had it on my own land. So the next year I bought a second dozer...

    D6R v/s 750J

    I own both D6R Cat and 750C Deere. Both are equip the same, and the 750 will work were the D6 will not. I know the 750 is smaller and will not push as much as the D6 but the 750 will hang on to a slope were the D6 will slide or worse yet I have had the upper track off the ground on the D6. I...

    why so few around?

    I can believe that there is a lot of track loaders in Pa. When I bought my 953C the dealer here got it from a dealer in Pa. The dealer there had many different ones equipped about every different way. This was the only one with wide pads.

    why so few around?

    It would all depend on what type of work I was doing. But If I could have only three pieces of equipment I would have an Excavator, Belt tractor with pull scraper and a track loader. I know you think it funny that I would want a track loader but they will do almost everything a dozer will...

    why so few around?

    I don't do much new development work as everyone bids on that type of work. No money in it. So why do it?? I work mostly in replacement work or splitting storm/sewer pipes. Cuts down on the number of people able to do that type of work. Most people hate or can not dig/lay around all kinds...

    why so few around?

    Burnout A lot of the jobs/dirt I get into needs the dirt to be moved to dry out. The water level so high that there is no other way to dry it out, or it rains to much and never dries out. Get it dried out and lay it back down, compact it and you are good to go. Another problem is some of the...

    why so few around?

    I would like to see you move with a track loader with the conditions I work in. If the loader didn't sink completely out of sight, you would be high centered on the belly pans. Hard to do any thing when your stuck??? That is why an excavator is better. Try digging a trench for a sewer pipe...
