Td8e Dresser Engine Issue
According to the Dresser TD8E IH manual, it states that after a major repair, the valve lash should be checked at 500 hours and adjusted as necessary. Under normal operating conditions, it recommends checking the valve clearances every 2,000 hours. For this DT239 diesel engine, I’m guessing... -

Td8e Dresser Engine Issue
Finally got the Dresser TD8E bulldozer FIXED! At first, I pulled all the injectors and pressure-tested them using the Vevor fuel injector tester — they all checked out fine. After getting some solid advice from YouTube creator Mike Sanders, I decided to check the valve lash. That’s when I... -

Td8e Dresser Engine Issue
Thank you again to everyone. Yes, I get it, if I can find a fuel screen I will definitely take it apart and clean it but I can not find any fuel screen so far. I did replace both fuel filters. And I did run the machine without fuel tank cap on it. One of my neighbors told me to do that to check... -

Td8e Dresser Engine Issue
Ok, I will blow the lines from the fuel pump fitting to the tank, will bleed again all the injectors and will check both air intake pipes. I did take the main air filter out and cleaned it but I will check things again. May be I missed something. I did check all the fuel lines fittings or... -

Td8e Dresser Engine Issue
The best way I can explain is: The dozer starts just fine and it is very responsive with the throttle and it works for a while 20 minutes-ish. Then, the dozer stops to be as responsive with the throttle. When I move the throttle from idle the engine makes this noise like a helicopter. It seems... -

Td8e Dresser Engine Issue
Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well. Last winter I had a chance to work with the old TD8e and I was very happy with the performance of this dozer. Thanks to all the advise from the members of this forum. I started to clear some more land to expand my garlic field this year and the old... -

Td8e leaking coolant through manifold.
Last quick question Acecadet, Are you supposed to drive this td8e at the very full top throttle or one click below the top full throttle? The service manual shows an arrow to indicate the high idle to drive the machine but the arrow points either to the very top or the tooth below the very... -

Ok, I will do that. I have to wait about 2 weeks to be able to access my machine again. I will check oil when running and check + clean the pressure regulator valve. Thanks so much for your help Acecadet. Cheers! -

I have the service manual and it shows in a picture the breather were the hose is installed. -So the breather is not a check valve? -In your opinion is it normal that the hose is sucking air? -Do you think that an open hose would do the same job as the breather? -

Than you again for the help. Yes, I have been checking oil level before and after it warms up. It is a bid below full line when it is cold. After it warms up it is a bid over the full line. I have never check the oil level while it is running thou. Do you mean put it in gear and check the oil... -

Td8e leaking coolant through manifold.
Thank you so much Acecadet, I will be checking the short drive shaft movement. At this point I think that the short drive shaft stops when machine is not moving and engine is low idle. I think that if I get the engine rpms from low idle to high the drive shaft moves (turns) even if machine is... -

Hi Acecadet, do you have a link for the transmission manual for this td8e? I managed to replaced the head gasket so. THANK YOU GUYS VERY MUCH FOR ALL THE HELP. I got the machine running very well. I replaced the trans oil filter and cleaned the suction screen filter. The clutch pressure gauge... -

Hi everyone, I decided to get the head machined. I got the head back already and putting things back together. I am at the point of setting valve clearances. The manual says when piston 1 is TDC compression (ajust 1245) and when piston 4 TDC compression (ajust 3678) everything makes sense to me...
