    Anyone have experience with TD8c dozer

    I’ll definitely try that , and pulling the transmission doesn’t sound great at all . I’m definitely not setup for that type repair . If I push the decelerator all the way down it will not creep . I know that’s not a great or super safe way of having to operate it but could still be better than a...

    Anyone have experience with TD8c dozer

    Thanks so much for your reply !! Your explanation makes sense as to why the parts are missing in action . I did manage to get the range valve off . Man was it ever a pain in the behind . I’m now dreading the reinstall lol. But I broke the valve down and found now obstructions or significant wear...

    TD8c regulator valve parts confusion

    Thanks for your reply ! In regards to the creep if I have the pilot valve lever centered in the neutral position it will barely try to creep forward but if you pivot it to the reverse side of the neutral slot it will begin to creep in reverse and the same if you tilt it out to the forward dude...

    TD8c regulator valve parts confusion

    Hello all , I have TD8c with the power shift transmission . While trying to track down the culprit in my issue of the machine creeping while pilot valve is in the neutral position I’ve unearthed another possible problem . I rebuilt the pilot valve with new seal kit and didn’t resolve the...

    TD8C will not pull either direction after large leak

    That looks like a nice greasy area to get to lol. I’m only asking in hopes it could be a possibility but could it still have air cavities in the lines ? I replaced that #12 hose that was about 4’ long and had to put in 6 gallons of fluid to get it to the full line on the stick . I’ve only had it...

    TD8C will not pull either direction after large leak

    I have a service manual that I recently purchased and I’ve been trying to educate myself . I navigated to the picture you attached . I love to learn how things work from the inside out but it does take me a while to absorb it all sometimes . So I should trace the 3/8 line and check it for...

    TD8C will not pull either direction after large leak

    So I got that compartment cleaned and degreased . Cleaned filter housing and reinstalled . Put on new line and filled with fluid . Now It will move itself forward and reverse but it will creep forward or reverse even with the shifter lever in neutral and the safety lever in place . Wondering if...

    TD8C will not pull either direction after large leak

    Ok guys it took a while to get time to tear into the dozer but today I found the culprit !!! Removed the battery and tried to remove years of gunk at the filter housing base and upon digging it exposed a severely compromised hose . It ran from the near center of the top of the transmission over...

    Will TD8c roll to load if no power

    Update , We had success using a 12k lb winch and a couple snatch blocks to get it up on the gooseneck . That part went much easier than expected !! As far as unloading once we got home … we’ll that was a bit nerve racking , but with the aid of releasing the winch slowly I’m glad to say it’s home...

    TD8C will not pull either direction after large leak

    I can look down below in the battery compartment and barely see a hose fitting end that seems to be the area the fluid is originating from . It’s in the front bottom corner of that entire left hand console compartment beside the seat .

    TD8C will not pull either direction after large leak

    Have a TD8c dozer that has a massive leak from directly under the battery compartment area . It is a steady stream that fills that cavity and then pours down onto the left side tracks . Any ideas as to what I need to remove to access that area and also any idea what hose or component that could...

    Will TD8c roll to load if no power

    That is definitely my big concern . If my winch setup is successful in pulling it , I was thinking of definitely chasing it up with some blocking of some sort . We have a telehandler on site that can aid in pushing but I only have a 12,500 winch but hoping with a couple snatch blocks I can...

    Will TD8c roll to load if no power

    Thank you very much for your reply ! That is a relief, now to see if I can improvise a way to load it with a winch and possible some snatch blocks . Fingers crossed !!

    Will TD8c roll to load if no power

    Hello , I’m very new to the dozer world and green as well . I have purchased a Td8c that has developed a huge leak just under the battery compartment area . It’s in a location that seems to require a few hours to possible get to the culprit . My question is , will the dozer free roll to load on...
