    815B compacter brake system upgrade

    Has anyone upgraded the old style air/brake fluid brake on a 815B packer to a hydraulic oil style? The 815B is similar to a 966 loader.

    D6T lurches to a stop when coasting in neutral

    melted plastic in D8T transmission

    Thanks for everyone's feedback so far! Tranny oil was sampled, please have a look. Nothing too alarming at first glance. For filters we run the 328-3655 from Cat. They do have black molded ends which could have got soft. My mechanic thinks this black plastic was pressed through something at...
