    Dresser TD 15c converter stall

    The engine speed on the TD15C is if fitted with the 466 is around 2'550 rpm, if the converter is done fore the heat would be building up fast and the oil pressure gauge would be off range, the transmission clutch packs wear out as does the sealing of the pistons that work them, the drive shaft...

    Problem with TD15C Transmission

    If I recall the TD15C has no steering clutch packs but brake pads that put a gear group to act, I have rebuilt these transmissions and they are some work to tackle, 1 transmission I did had the filters under the floor plates, the other had the filters etc in the side near the shift lever, I can...

    CAT D6C info

    I can be pretty sure it's a 46J as I used to work on them as a common thing,, I also think the build year is about correct, the later built Tractors had the 3306 fitted and the Safety Cabins kicked in to the build.

    Komatsu D57S-1 Head gasket seep

    In the U.K if a customer asked me to rebuild this 4 cylinder D57S engine I would want to see the money first, the 6 cylinder D57 is still well liked but very scarce to now find, the drive shaft coupling is another area of fun as its now in the Hens Teeth area and they love to crack open, Komatsu...

    CAT D6C info

    This is I feel a D6C 46J Series Tractor fitted with the D333C engine, It looks to be in strong condition and to people like me a thing of Desire, I would struggle to not buy it as it will always earn a few £££, as for year I would suggest around 1970 or 72, it has no Turbo and these Tractors...

    Komatsu D57S-1 Head gasket seep

    The "Black Spot" comes from a Book called Treasure Island and was a folded message delivered by Blind Pugh, let's just say getting the Black Spot was something you would rather not want, to say the mysterious object is from something that had the nerve to drop in I find hard to understand, you...

    Komatsu D57S-1 Head gasket seep

    The cost of this engine repair will soon put that Shovel in a place where you will be very unhappy as its not going to be something you will get your coins returned, I did say they are like the " Black Spot" off Israel Hands in the U.K. plus the fact the mystery item is still a mystery?? so far...

    D5B Final Drive Leak, I think.

    Did you jack up the Tractor so the sprocket was clear of the track and rotor the sprocket around to check adjustments, on the tension of the adjuster collar it is common for the Service Manual to only say "Take a 5ft length of pipe and place on your C spanner" not to post a Ft lbs target that...

    D8t brakes engaging

    The pressure seems low or off to me, I don't have E.T. but often the second speed clutch is around 370 psi, 1st gear at 320 psi and P1 pressure around 425 psi, with this pressure supplying the brake control valve??? 1st gear oil being controlled by the modulation valve can suffer with the oil...

    Build Date Request

    The 951 was built in the U.K. Glasgow Factory I think production started in late 1964 with the 89A Series fitted with the 4 1/2" Bore D330B engine fitted, the similar looking 63K series shovel came out in mid 1967 fitted with the new D330C engine with the larger bore of 4 3/4" and a totally new...

    D5B Order of disassembly for steering clutch pack work

    What is the part number you have on the centre adapter that screws on the pinion shaft it is stamped on it, I did have a look at my plates today as they were just handy, the plate that bolts to the flange is not countersunk, the 4 holes on the plate I was looking at were elongated an amount but...

    WW2 ARMOURED CATERPILLAR DOZERS (D7A)

    Well I still have the offset tracks and i do have the serial number plate some place, they had a nasty little fuel tank fitted, most of it has now reached China, I am also chopping up a 3T.

    D9D 18A Final Drive Pinion Flange

    56wrench I feel the chap is going to listen to the "I just beat them on Boys" I can tell you that once pressed on you could nearly leave the nut off and they would not shift free, but there is that many experts about that have worked on D9's that have just stopped being fed Mommy's Milk that...

    WW2 ARMOURED CATERPILLAR DOZERS (D7A)

    The 1T Series was a modified 7M Tractor that was fitted with an angle dozer and a Hyster D7N winch, I am cutting 1 up for bits at the moment, they have offset track pads to allow for the inside push frame.

    D9D 18A Final Drive Pinion Flange

    Well firstly I do have the correct tooling but that is not helping you due to Montana from the U.K. !!! anyhow I feel sure you can remove the complete flange and pinion out of a D8 and D9 in 1 go all as 1 assembly, just to be sure pop the flange on loose and do a dummy run of removing and...

    D5B Order of disassembly for steering clutch pack work

    The adapter could be made easily as all you need is a bit of plate that has a hole for the pinion adapter and the 2 bolt holes in to bolt it to the flange then 4 threaded bolt holes to match the end press plate, in the picture I see it shows only 2 bolts but I tend to always use 4 bolts, these...

    D5B Order of disassembly for steering clutch pack work

    The cylinders come with spring return or double acting at near double the cost, you will never need ever double acting on this type of cylinder, the talk was possibly pulling down the f/ drives so jacking back and forward is not going to help you with this, I have said the manual tells you lots...

    Cat 931 engine mystery....

    Bit of a heads up chap the injector pump gears are not marked so before you get to keen on unbolting things remember this as you might need to do some thinking.

    D5B Order of disassembly for steering clutch pack work

    Ferdinand if you struggle with this adapter I have 1 and would be happy to post the details, you only need a hollow cylinder that is single acting, double acting hollow cylinders are a waste of time as you will never need the pressure return it serves no benefit other than getting in the way...

    Deutz 912 front gear oil supply circuits

    The Blower fan on lots of Deutz engines used the centre section as a centrifugal oil filter that you would remove the front cap and clean out, I cannot understand why you would want to mess about with doing a modification to something that works to perfection??? the belt driven blower fans have...
