Cat D8N TORK CONVEKTOR

[murat]

where are the torque converter pressures measured and how much should they be .tork converter is getting hot what is the problem

 

[John C.]

Don't know the specs or location but someone should be along soon. Torque converter high temps are usually caused by overloading, plugged coolers and radiators, internal wear inside the converter. Overloading is usually caused by running the machine in too high of a gear. Watching the engine temp and torque converter temp at the same time can indicate if the temps are being caused by the engine, if it rises faster that the torque, or the torque converter drive the engine temperature up. Torque converter outlet pressure can sometimes indicate if there is leaking inside the converter. Burned paint on the outside of the converter housing nearly always means internal leakage is to the extent that the housing is full of oil.
Good Luck!

First question. Any recent history of a transmission failure on this tractor.?
Even a transmission that did not fail but was replaced because of high operating hours.?
