Fuel in Crankcase
Thanks for your help. My opinion, I've pretty much ruled out an engine or fuel related issue. It does have a standard transmission with the stick shift and clutch. It has the two steering levers and also a brake on the floor just like an automobile, clutch on left and brake on right. You jogged... -

Fuel in Crankcase
My BD2G issue has now came down to this. The brake acts like it's on all the time. I've adjusted the adjustments under the seat. Set the brake bands at 2 2/3 turns, however it has great difficulty "freewheeling", especially backwards. Even moving backwards in reverse causes it to load up, blow... -

Fuel in Crankcase
Not a problem! I just appreciate your help at any time. If the machine turns abruptly when I pull the lever, I read somewhere it could indicate a stuck steering brake. It clicked! I had this guy, before I knew it had a gear pump, to pull those covers underneath the seat and adjust the brake... -

Fuel in Crankcase
You asked me earlier: “I am wondering if you have something transmission/driveline related that is loading it up. Do you think that could be a cause?” In reverse it does seem like the brakes are on. Just moving backwards with the blade up, it will stall if I don’t clutch it. Another question... -

Fuel in Crankcase
Ok. I’m really revealing how limited my knowledge base is here. Something does seem to be seizing up in the steering clutch part of this machine. It steers almost too easy. However, if I’m not just on a witch hunt, when the machine starts working fine in reverse the steering becomes all... -

Fuel in Crankcase
Good morning! Well, I installed the new supply pump. It's working great. No fuel in crankcase. Thanks to Pump Guy, I now have a new seal to get the old pump completely rebuilt. (nothing like a spare) in the meantime, I detected a steel hydraulic line leaking. To pull it for repair, I had to... -

Fuel in Crankcase
It is a honey operating little dozer. When it’s at its best, it’s hard to beat. It takes a little longer to get some jobs done, however, it’s a finished product at the end of the day. After a while you get the feel of your machine and you can cut your grade. Leave your transit at home. -

Fuel in Crankcase
Good morning! Well I changed out the old sp for the new one from Friday Parts. Good results. The “beast” runs as smooth as smooth. Takes fuel and increases revs honorably. Reduces revs as good as any. However, under load, it’s very poor at hunting. Some better, but much to be desired. JAJ, good... -

Fuel in Crankcase
I need every idea (and probably some other things!) thrown at me right now! Lol The hydraulics don’t seem to load it up any more than my other machines do. I live on a hill that falls 2 ft for every 8. I can turn it loose, backwards or forwards, and I’m gaining speed in a hurry. With it in gear... -

Fuel in Crankcase
I took the shutoff valve out and just ran the line straight into the sp, thinking the 1/8 “ ID of the valve was too restrictive. The flow was full pipe at 1/4” ID. No load running at any RPM seems fine. Just when I engage a load does the RPM’s fall and would stall without any hunting or... -

Fuel in Crankcase
The vent for this rig is in the fuel cap. The hole in the outside of the cap was plugged. Not really any appreciable difference. Pump Guy is sending me the seal. I’m pretty sure I’m still getting some fuel in crankcase. Hopefully the seal will clear that up and it’s not a fault of the main inj... -

And performance as well. I kept at it for a bit and it started working just fine intermittently. Backing up was a challenge, and that’s what got my attention. After sluggish performance for a bit, suddenly it moved backwards like a champ, started cutting and spinning the tracks. Then it would go... -

Good morning, JAJ. I know about that, “a lot going on here” stuff for sure. No worries! Sounds like Pump Guy is in the same “boat”! He said it had rained at his place for the last 24 hours. I received the kit yesterday and for starters, only installed the primer pump since mine was short and...
