Yup, that's right, a 950B. We are into old iron here. We have this 950B that runs fine when cold and for about the next 2 hours. All of a sudden, the machine won't pull. Both forward and reverse won't pull and no mater what gear you are in, no difference. It's like the brakes are locked but we know they are not. The motor is strong because the hydraulics work perfect and don't bog the motor down when you use the bucket. The transmission is not slipping because the motor doesn't race like it would if the clutches were slipping. When this problem happens, we let the machine cool down and it works again perfectly until 2 or 3 hours later when it happens again.
My initial thought was the torque converter. So, two questions come to mind:
1.) Did anyone ever have a problem like this on a 950 or any other machine? If so, what did you find?
2.) Does any one know anything about the torque converters used on these 950s? Could they function properly, quit multiplying torque and then start again after they cool down?
As always, thanks to all. When you have this much old iron, you need all the friends you can find!
