    Allis Chamlers 940 loader rear axle

    No this loader doesn't have a differential lock and I am about ready to believe I am just over analyzing. But I did pull the differential out and the ring and pinion gears are chewed up just a little bit. I am thinking that some of the metal pieces from the planetary blow up last year damaged...

    Allis Chamlers 940 loader rear axle

    thanks for replying. The tires are all the same size, tire pressure and about the same wear 40% tread left. I don't know if the front tires have air in them or not. I am going to get the "empty" tire filled with liquid when I can. Don't know if the local shops can do it. Small town. I try...

    Allis Chamlers 940 loader rear axle

    I have a 1976 AC 940 loader. Last year the right rear planetary when completely bad. I replaced all 3 planetary gears and the sun gear. I cleaned the axle housing best I could and planned to drain the oil a 2nd time after some use to remove any more metal filings I missed. I removed both...

    Allis Chalmers 940 loader coolant leak

    I have a 1976 AC 940 loader. Today it started leaking coolant around the base of the injector closest to the cab. I read in the owners manual that there is a sleeve nozzle holder that goes thorough the coolant passages to help keep the nozzles cool. I believe this is where my leak is coming...

    kobelco sk 115dz bucket curl slow

    Thanks Mr. Kobelco for answering. The hydraulics worked fine before I took the pilot valve out. We were only trying to stop the oil leaks. If some of the parts inside the joystick were mixed up wouldn't we notice a problem with other movement of the same valve? If I took the joystick back...

    kobelco sk 115dz bucket curl slow

    we have a 1998 sk115 dz that had a bad oil leak on the right pilot control. I removed the valve and had it rebuilt at a hydraulic shop. When I reinstalled the valve all functions of the valve were slow. After some use now the only slow function is bucket curl. I tried to bleed out any air...

    Cat D3C dozer transmission problems

    Well I finally got around to actually starting to work on the d3 and found that a u-joint had come apart. Meaning the transmission wasn't connected to the bevel gear so that's why it won't move DUH!! I was expecting a much bigger problem but I got lucky. Thanks for the help! mfortier
