    JD 450 G question

    I searched here, not a lot of info. What is the proper clutch/brake adjustment procedure ? The machine works fine but has very little turning ability when the left handle is pulled. The right handle works fine as it will lock the track up and spin on a dime.

    950 F series II

    This is not my machine, I was just called to help identify the leaker. With machine running and in gear a leak will start at what appears to be the mating surface of the left upper side of the transmission to torque converter housing. It is not the line going in the top of the housing. More on...

    Shift boots

    2006 Kenworth T-800, 8LL trans, square boot at the floor. My question is what have others been doing to combat or cure the tearing of the boot to keep the dust out. I am on boot number two and looking for a better alternative than stock hardware. Thanks guys and gals. Ron

    Options for idlers

    My old D6H is in need of some rear idlers. From what CAT tells me, all four are identical and they only sell new at near $ 1,200.00 each. Serial is 3ZF00730 My fronts seem good but the rears are howling and worn pretty thin. Thanks Ron

    D-6H 3ZF00730 Diff steer. The shifter just went limp yesterday, it is still in low gear so I can get it up to the shop. My question is do I have to dump the trans oil to get the rear plate off the back of the trans or is that compartment dry ? Any other tips or concerns I need to know about...

    1988 D-6H series II w/ 3306 Cat engine

    Serial number is 3ZF00730. Starter took a dump this afternoon. I got it out and it has that nice sweet smell of burnt epoxy. Should I let a local rebuilder look at it or is it better to just trade it in? It looks like a totally sealed marine style unit with a faceplate to bell housing gasket and...

    D-6H blade control question

    1988 machine with 14K hours. Semi U blade. Is there an adjustment for the "down" feed of the blade ? If you ease the control you can walk the blade down . If you use any swift motion the blade just drops and slams the ground. This issue has been getting worse as I run it so there is something...
