    D31p

    does it happen steering both left and right or only on the left or right? It does sound like the clutches (or clutch if it only occurs on one side) isn't disengaging. there could be a number of reasons why and the only way to figure that out in my opinion is to physically see what is happening...

    D31p

    I don't think there is a clutch adjustment that is built in like that brake adjustment. If there is its in the linkage. do you have steering levers or a joystick? Is this lack of proper steering occurring on both sides or just one? If you overload the machine (too much dirt or up against...

    D31p

    I'm not the experienced mechanic to give you the guaranteed answer but the way I always pictured it in my mind is: when you pull the left steering lever slightly the left clutch begins to disengage so the left track is "weaker" and moving slightly slower than the right track and the dozer will...

    D31p

    I can't give you an exact answer to that question but I will say that I don't believe so. I think the adjustment of the brakes you did just changes the physical clearance between the brake pads and the ?drum? needed due to the actual wearing away of brake pad material.

    DIY window screens?

    I made these with material I had laying around. If I had enough of the expanded metal I'd have used that for all but didn't. Even so the vertical pickets work way better than nothing. I'm absolutely sure though that the holes I drilled so the panels are removable make the ROPs non-certifiable...

    D31p

    yep, remove that small cover plate with 2 bolts and the hump in the middle, (there should be another one just like it on the other side), you SHOULD see a shaft there with a nut on it, tighten the nut all the way then back it off 1 and 1/2 turns. This is coming from memory but I believe...

    D31p

    D31p-?, would be helpful with more info, like year of dozer. My D31E has joystick control steering, I'm assuming yours has steering levers, if yes, then yes, I believe you are correct in your understanding of how they work.

    D5G multiple problems

    I think it would be wise, just to make sure, that you put a brand new battery ( or one you know to have full voltage and amperage delivery ) on your dozer before doing a bunch of other work. Keep in mind that a voltage meter does NOT tell you if the battery has enough amps to turn over the...

    Slow cranking 650j

    This may be way to simplistic but on my farm equipment I've learned the hard way that a battery can show proper voltage but not have enough amps to turn a starter properly. Have you tried swapping batteries so you can be completely sure it's not a weak battery?

    Komatsu D31

    my '92 D31E-20 S/N 42058 has a 4 cylinder turbo. motor runs great, book says its a S4D102E-1, southernman's has a higher s/n so I'm guessing they went to 6 cylinders later in the series run. My track pads are 13" but my brochure shows 15 1/2" track pads as an option for D31E-20. Its...

    Case 310C what do I need to know?

    If you could talk to a machinist you could find out about cutting new threads and getting a smaller nut to match. However, by the time you removed the shaft it would probably be cheaper to just install a new one. Unless there is a portable tread cutting tool. Pipe is threaded in the field...

    CAT D7F

    that thing is awesome! more pictures please. did someone run weld all kinds of up and down the pusher bars? I bet that cable spooler (if that's what it is) on the back is a pretty rare attachment. What are you gonna use if for?

    now I see your S/N, get those manuals and keep us posted, again, good luck

    Case 310C what do I need to know?

    wow, that is quite a machine. I strongly recommend getting an owners AND a repair manual for it regardless of the cost, they will both pay for themselves ten times over. If you can't find new ones try e-bay. I also don't trust any of the "download" sites, I think they are all scams. It is...

    Case 310C what do I need to know?

    It would be helpful if you gave more details of what state its now in and what want to do with it. Then people with experience can help you with more specific questions. Does it currently run and steer and stop? Are you wanting to build ponds with it, trails thru the woods, clear some brush...
