The old 7G was working pretty hard for the money, digging a basement hole for our new home at the farm, lasted but two days then lo reverse decided to not cooperate. Had been working flawless other than the slick shoes, had gone in for another load and as filled the bucket it teetered on the front idlers as usual then would not go into reverse. Tried lowering the bucket to see what was cooking and it began to move again, got two more loads and it did it again this time with little steering control in reverse just stops so I suspect the collector seals in the used trans had dried out finally letting go, will need to get the other box apart and start that rebuild.
Did feel good getting the machine a good workout so I will be going after those seals to try to get it longer duration functional. This was end of first day two hours work and me fueling up for the next day.
