    Clark 28000 Transmission

    So today I broke into the trans. All the gears I came across looked solid and didn’t looked flakes or grooved. I took apart the forward and 2nd clutch group and found the clutch piston on the Forward side cracked. The actual clutch plates looked good. This was the side I replaced back...

    Clark 28000 Transmission

    We did a pressure test today and pressures were consistent. Same forward and reverse in which ever gear we selected. I also actually operated the machine with the guage visible. In forward 1st gear, it will engage when I go easy on the throttle and when it engages into gear I’m able to...

    Clark 28000 Transmission

    Thanks for the replies! my email is xcavating@yahoo.com I’m not sure exactly were to test the pressures at. I mean I can test the pressures at the charge pump or oil cooler, but I’m guessing I would be looking at the wrong place. If the machine works perfect in reverse, then I’m assuming the...

    Clark 28000 Transmission

    I have a Bomag K300 Compactor with a transmission issue. Machine works as it should in reverse, plenty of power, no slip in all 3 gears. In forward, it will engage in 1st gear but slips once its put to load, example traveling up hill or up ramps. We are gonna pull the transmission and tear it...

    Tl12v2

    We owned 2 TL150s and also own a Gehl CTL80 which is the same as a TL150 basically. Power on the V2 is significantly greater!

    Tl12v2

    Our machine has a pattern changer under the seat. Came with the typical Tak European control pattern but we flipped it to the "Case" control pattern we are accustomed to. Previous Tak machines had to have a kit installed to switch the control patter, Which made it perminant.

    Best trailer for bobcat t630

    Prefer gooseneck If you are gonna be hauling every day, then I prefer a gooseneck trailer. They just distribute weight better and easier to pull, also you can haul more with it. If you are set on a tag trailer, then I highly recommend you install air bags on your 2500. Once you have...

    Tl12v2

    We have a New TL12V2 out on a rent to own for a couple months. We like the machine a lot. Ride, power and Cab features are a huge upgrade from the TL150s we have owned. I know these machines are all new and wonder what some of you other TL12V2 owners might be experiencing. Frustrated we...

    GPS Modeling Software

    Thanks Thanks. Carlson is one of the popular choices, unfortunately a bit more costly from what I understand. I looked into Insite software. Seemed fairly easy to use, however kinda cheaply done in my opinion. I'm really stuck on how much I like Earthworks and wish they had GPS...

    GPS Modeling Software

    I use Earthworks for all our estimating needs. I am very familiar with it and its easy and accurate. Only problem is that I can not build GPS models with it and Trakware does not intend to offer any GPS modeling software. We currently run Topcon GPS, one machine control dozer and a rover...

    4BTA-3.9 Cummins Engine

    We have a Hyster roller with a 4BTA-3.9 Cummins Engine that is in need of overhaul or replacement. I have been getting quotes on used engines and rebuilt engines. In my searches, I found two guys who have new long blocks at a pretty reasonable price, cheaper than a rebuilt. Problem is they...

    Clark 28000 seriies transmission in a Bomag K300 compactor

    We ended up pulling the trans on this machine and tore it apart ourselves. It took us some time, but $600 in parts later machine runs like it's designed for. Ended up that the pressure plates in the forward gear set were cracked and wore out the internal gear. We found a good used gear and...

    Need Clark Transmission Parts near Chicago/Milwaukee

    I have a 28000 series transmission which has a fried forward and 2nd clutch assembly. I will also need various gaskets and o'rings as we disassembled the entire trans. I'm looking for parts in the Chicago - Milwaukee area. Thanks!

    Clark 28000 seriies transmission in a Bomag K300 compactor

    So it appears that the transmission is "stuck" in the forward position internally. So when the lever is in R, the transmission is actually still stuck in forward, but the reverse is counter acting it? Funny thing is that I lent this machine out to a friend. He said it was working fine and...
