    D8R new tracks

    hey OP, these men will give you the best help you can get on the internet, but it's clear you're not telling the truth and holding your nose high. logically, this pisses everyone off. While following this topic, I still didn't understand whether the problem is that there is no time or money...

    D6T DOZER

    these russian people… they come to a place where everyone uses English and don't even think of trying to adapt and use a translator to communicate with everyone. No, they make everyone else use the translator. It's like a disease.

    How much leakage is acceptable?

    I've been using a Milwaukee M18 grease gun for about 3-4 years now and I've replaced 3 Pump Body/Gearcase Assembly (100-150€ each) It is a very good device until one of the lubrication points is "stuck" and you try to move it with pressure. Now trying DeWalt DCGG571M1-QW. Almost the same as the...

    Overfilled the transmission oil on a D6N LPG and the plug is stripped

    Theoretically speaking, what harm could be done if the transmission, or other places where there is a lot of room for oil to expand? More heat? I understand what the problems would be with the engine or the final gear ... I most often fill oil a little above normal.

    D6T Transmission Oil Color

    Use an oil dye to determine the oil level. I agree that it is very difficult to tell without dye. The oil is normally very light in color.

    Caterpillar d6n very hard to start

    Honestly, there are a lot of manufacturers who still use mechanical hand pumps. I would say that CAT and AGCO group tractors are the only ones I can name that use electric pumps mostly. From experience, yes, after changing filters or running out of fuel, pumping is unnecessary suffering.

    D8R dozer undercarriage replacement

    I had a similar experience with our Cat dealer in Latvia Avesco. Dozer had a problem with power loss and some errors that needed to be read. I contacted the dealer to arrive and make a diagnosis. Arrived, read the errors carelessly, said that the injectors were probably to blame for the loss...

    D8R dozer undercarriage replacement

    I noticed that the equalizer left side mounting was welded. This is probably why the left side of the track has not gone the right way.

    Cat d5h transmission problem

    I suggest you try to contact Henk via his email he mentioned above. You probably won't meet him here since he last logged in in 2016.

    Track links kinking up and frozen up

    I had a similar problem with ITR tracks. About 6 pins on each side were still. I tried to move, lubricate, etc., but nothing helped. As the tracks have served for about 50%, I decided I had nothing to lose and heated the frozen pins thoroughly with a acetylene cutting torch until the grease /...

    Installing drive shaft in final drive d6n

    I just did this and fought hard. It will be enough for you to turn the driving sprocket a little with a large lever. Unless the track allows you to do so. The wrong gearing is what prevents the shaft from being inserted.

    D6N head scratcher

    I can't imagine the whole picture, but I imagine maybe you can put on a new o ring and create an extra seal from thin gasket paper. The question of whether the design allows to increase the gap between the lid and the housing ... This is worth doing if the housing costs a large portion of the...

    Differences between D6m, N and so on

    Thanks and sorry for off topic. I'll look it up, but the search tool doesn't work in a way i understand. My thought was a little simpler, but probably less effective- for example, add a weight similar to a winch or ripper using agriculture counterweight. As far as i know D6 winch weight aprox...

    Differences between D6m, N and so on

    Yep, i have the same problem with my D6N with no winch or ripper mounted. It seems that the front of the dozer is much heavier and there is insufficient balance. I thought maybe I could balance it, but I don't make any use from a ripper, all that remains is to either put a winch or build an...

    Komatsu PC160LC-7K hydraulic/engine trouble

    Hi there! PC160LC-7K S/N K40627 I have some long lasting and slowly increased (about 1000h ago) and difficult to explain problems with engine and hydraulic operation. Engine- I already know part of the solution might be to this problem, but I would like to hear a different point of view before...
