    Dumb farmer needs some pull scraper operation pointers

    It has actually worked very well. I had my concerns also. The push block on the 90 is rounded so it is like pushing against a 12" pipe. That fits nicely into the back of the bucket like a ball and socket. As luck would have it the third link attaches to the bucket in that exact spot so is...

    Dumb farmer needs some pull scraper operation pointers

    Have a Dresser 515C wheel loader. One of guys that bow hunts on me asked if he could help me do something. Sure. Climb in the loader and give me a push. The 25 could get a fair load by it's self but it was a struggle unless the dirt was perfect. Now full loads :). Loader operator found out he...

    Dumb farmer needs some pull scraper operation pointers

    Cut width was why I went with a 90. I have never run a 9 so I can't compare it to the 25. The 25 out works any of the oval track 8s I've run. Haven't had any trouble pulling grade yet :). It definitely knows it's back there though. Dirt

    Dumb farmer needs some pull scraper operation pointers

    Catken, Would you possibly have a PN for the frost bit. The HD stinger is 4T2895MT, 1.13x16.00x60.25, the same as some of the 621s. I can't seem to find a listing for a frost bit. Thanks, Dirt

    Dumb farmer needs some pull scraper operation pointers

    Thanks guys. I actually did the pump loading and it worked but I thought I would go straight to scraper hell if my floor wasn't smooth. Maurice thanks for the tip about the stinger. Mine is a little lower but not 6". Does anyone have have a suggestion where to go for a longer stinger? Now that I...

    Dumb farmer needs some pull scraper operation pointers

    I have an Old CAT 90 scraper that has been converted to hyd. Am pulling it with a TD25C. The last heavy scraper operation I was around was a couple of D8's with LeTourneau cable scrapers in the late 60's. Dad would run another D8 pusher to help them load when they were working for us. Trying to...

    Dresser 515c Transmission trouble

    Thanks for the replys. Did the third gear test hunkered down under a big elm. Trans temp shot way up then cooled right down when I put it in neutral. Coolant temp climbed. Forgot to tell about that test. Am thinking about putting hytran in it for s and giggles. The internal leakage scenario...

    Cat 70 scrapper toughness?

    That "neck" was what I was wondering about. Outside to outside on td pads is 9'2". 70 is 10' wide, is that enough? Wheel tractor would only be used for small jobs that I needed to road a ways to. Called dealer about one this morning and told the salesman I would have a man there this afternoon...

    Dresser 515c Transmission trouble

    Purchased a 515c a few months ago knowing it had a problem dropping into reverse when the trans oil got hot. Trans fluid would get hot and say hot under a medium load such a roading in 3rd range. Anti freeze was pure. Diluted it up to -10F. That cured the short term heating prob. Brought it into...

    Cat 70 scrapper toughness?

    Finally decided to get a pull scrapper that I can use behind my wheel tractor and the td25c. My question is will the td pull a Cat 70 apart. This one has been converted to hyd. TIA

    Need input on pulltype scrapers

    I'm open to any suggestions. It seems that the Reynolds type pans are the latest, greatest, coolest toys at the present time. But I never have been cool. It looked to me like my td25c would pull one of those in two. I kind of like the idea of the old cable scrapers converted to hyd, but they...

    Need input on pulltype scrapers

    I'm planning to build a couple of 2+ acre ponds. will also be doing misc. farm work such as terrace and waterway recon. Soil types are mostly sandy loam to red shale with a small amount of clay. I see open bowl, ejection and elevating types. I have a td25c and a 250hp articulated 4wd ag tractor...

    td25c low speed stg clutch ?

    Thanks Rocko, I think I'm doing the adjustment right. A little confused about resetting the highside after making the internal adjustment. I backed off 2.5 rounds. The low side seems pretty clear. Is there a way to inspect/check the bellcrank without pulling the top off the case? Dirt

    td25c low speed stg clutch ?

    Thanks RDG, I suspected the worn linings but didn't know about the bell crank issue. I can understand if the pivot point in the crank is sloppy or the crank is bent, it wouldn,t transfer the full stroke of the piston. It seems to me that something would show up when you go through the adjustment...

    td25c low speed stg clutch ?

    Purchased a 25 this summer from a farmer knowing it slipped on the low side of the left strg control. He gave me a reman strg control cyl that was supposed to fix the problem. I checked the brake, high and low adjustments as per the operator's manual. The high side was 3/4 turn to loose. Checked...
