Hey, i have a 955 that i just walked many of your paths on. Most notable was the fuel tank and radiator/torque cooler. For the fuel tank, mine was full of a tar substance. Wound up putting 20 gallons of straight purple power in there and agitating it with a 1 gallon paint stir with many drill extensions on it over the course of many days. This converted the tar to a brown mud substance. Next i let pure gasoline do the work. I made sure the line going to the engine was disconnected frome the tank and run gasoline through the tank letting it sit for days at the time and agitating with a wooden paddle. I would drain out the tank, let the junk settle, then pour the gas back in the tank and go again till i hardly got any junk out per flush. Rinsed gas from tank with several flushes with diesel fuel. Put a filter right at the tank outlet with a clear bowl so i can monitor contaminant build up.
Just got the radiator rebuilt and installed. The radiator cost $2,500 and the torque cooler new replacement was $1,150 in Birmingham AL.
Now i have to figure out why the machine wont walk straight, every 15' -20' of travel, i have to apply the left brake to keep it going straight. Any ideas? Tracks are within guidelines of tension but one is tighter than the other.
