    D7H Transmission Filter Dilemma

    Put a 1R-716 filter back on. We had the same problem on our d6h when they pushed the new ultra high efficiency filters on us.

    Reynolds Ejector not straight

    The sequence valve on the tongue might be letting oil by-pass. Thats an often overlooked piece on the Reynolds.

    D6H Transmission over heating.

    We had a similar issue.. You might try the trans oil filter. The H can't handle the ultra high efficiency filter that parts recommends, go back to the original filter designed for the machine.

    Best Dozer Setup for Pioneer Cuts?

    Here in northern california, my father built many roads with a D8 14A and 2U's, bought a D6H with an S/U blade and says it's by far the best, a hydraulic blade and diff steer make quick work. We had used a D7H which wasnt as nimble as the D6H, but it handled the rocks a lot better.

    d7H good or bad

    I agree with under powered, but still has a lot more pushing a ripping power than the d6h, but not as well balanced as the d6h. The diff steer will be such a great upgrade that you will wish you upgraded sooner

    Repurpose Dozer steel tracks

    Upside down they make a great "curb" to park against or standing them on their side in a "U" shape makes for a great permanent loading ramp.

    Spectra GL712 issues

    Wind is the enemy, you can build a trailer that has a larger footprint to help offset the rocking the wind causes, my dad did that. You can increase the deadband on your receiver, or go GPS.

    Operator Looking for work in the off-season

    I'm looking for work operating heavy equipment through the months of November to March. I'm located in northern California and am willing to travel for work. I currently farm rice and run a few scrapers. I have experience with dozers, excavators, graders, scrapers (both self propelled and pull...

    Cat 65 scraper hitch

    You can build your own pretty easy, pull the old draw bar out, copy where the holes are, mill out a piece of tubing, weld it on the end and slide the new hitch back in and go to work

    Kubota M125X PTO won't turn off

    Its the PTO clutch brake (not sure if that's exactly what its called) It burns out from turning the pto off under a load to much. You will have to split the tractor to change it.

    D8 14a

    I think it just needs discs, I have searched a little but it's hard to find a dry deck, I think they were only made for a year or two

    D8 14a
