    D5B Order of disassembly for steering clutch pack work

    About to dive into a failed steering clutch on this dozer. It has a ripper on it and I'm wondering if I should remove it before starting the clutch work for easier access. If I do, is it easier to pull the ripper off in parts, or as a single unit by pulling the pivot pins and remove it as a...

    D5B with intermittent steering clutch

    I have a D5B, powershift transmission, 25X serial number, hand levers and foot brakes. Recently one of the drive clutches has started intermittently sticking in the disconnected state. Fluid levels, filters, linkage adjustments are all as specified in the manual. When the clutch works right, it...

    Deere 410C sucking air into brakes

    I have a 410C that has a weird issue that I've not been able to track down the cause of. Brakes work perfectly fine, no leakdown, etc. Master cylinder was recently rebuilt and fully tested OK. If the machine sits for 2-3 days, AND the temperature changes significantly during that time, the...

    Fuel Setting Information for D5B w/ 3306

    After rebuilding the governor section of my fuel pump, I've been unable to find the referenced "Fuel Setting Information" for my dozer. See several books of this nature on ebay but none seem to cover these machines. Only older obsolete models and 3306 engines used in trucks. Is there an...

    D5B Hydraulic Pump Rebuild

I see in the CAT parts book that there are two lip seals that can be replaced, but there are no other parts shown for the pump, except for a "rebuild kit" PN: 9J765. I don't see how you...

    CAT 3306 injectior question (D5B)

    I've been rebuilding the fuel system on a D5B with a 3306 engine. The factory service manual indicates that the collar which holds the injector valve in the pre-combustion chamber should be tightened to 10 lb/ft. Is this really the correct value? It seems ridiculously low for a 1" nut that...

    D5B Steering Action

    I've been running a older D5B with powershift transmission and have a question regarding the expected steering response. If I'm not carrying a load on the blade, the steering levers seem to do nothing. The dozer won't start to change direction until the lever is so far back that I'm applying...

    D5B coolant drain

    I'm replacing the coolant on a D5B. There appears to be no information in the service or maintenance manuals about where the coolant should be drained from. There is an obvious drain at the bottom of the radiator, but after using this, I'm still about 2 gallons short. If I pour clean water...
