    D6H 0 psi lube pressure

    I might have missed it but have you checked the suction side of the pump for air leaks? Have you checked any other pressures like the torque converter in and out ect? Nige will help you get to the bottom of it I’m sure and be far more help than me.

    Cat 3306 coolant drain plug location on engine block?

    I couldn’t think of one either. I’m not familiar with track loaders, but the coolers if it has them may have drains? I usually do as @Coaldust said, lower hose ect. Then flush with rainwater till it stays clear. Then refill with new coolant.

    Cat 140M aircon trouble

    Yeah when it started playing up I unbolted the seat and went to pull it out by my self…. Thought I had forgot a bolt haha. This seat has a 24v air compressor in the base as well and was two people to get it out… it’s going to be fun getting it back in might need three people. The worst part was...

    DRMCo D562D Engine ID

    That’s interesting. Our one has old SA rego plates so might be from that way originally. I know of 4 or 5 other 562D’s around here and one 600 I think it is.

    DRMCo D562D Engine ID

    Ah well you have a good project on your hands then. The rod seals should be a gland packing type IIRC and you might be able to tighten the bolts on the packing a bit or add more packing perhaps. The parts are a bit hard to get for the Drmco’s now but “Phil Hunt Parts” has a few wrecked machines...

    Cat 140M aircon trouble

    Never mind…. Went with the pull everything apart method. I thought for something semi-serviceable it should have been a lot easier to get to! While disassembling half the cab I was thinking who ever designed this knew they were never going to have to fix it…but fan motor looks like it might be...

    Cat 140M aircon trouble

    Cat 140m B9d03982 Hi I am having trouble getting into the box under the seat to access the blower fan and evaporator. It looks like half the cab has to come out to get metal box off that the seat mounts too… is there an easy way to get in there?? I think I have a worn out blower motor, it got...

    DRMCo D562D Engine ID

    Just had a good look at the linked parts manual and it mentions the 2 vs 4 valves so my memory might be accurate.

    DRMCo D562D Engine ID

    Hi Phil congrats on your new purchase! You could always post a couple pictures of it. I have one of these graders as well that has been a project for a long time and just never get around to finishing it. Mine spun a bearing in the original engine and destroyed the crank (long story). I am part...

    D6H transmission overheating

    When I pulled the screen in mine the first time I didn’t drain it and was expecting the bath that Nige warned about! I hoped I would not loose the entire amount and I could just add the missing oil to keep trouble shooting….. I only lost a very small amount of oil, not sure if that is what is...

    Small diesel rotary screw compressors

    Hey .RC. Not sure if the start of your last post was aimed at me or not… if it was I think that is a fair call! I apologise for not replying, I have had a bit going on and have been very slack at getting back to you. All our bores are a lot deeper at about 5-600ft plus. I am thinking my one...

    Cat 963c two speed not working moves slow

    Re my above post…. It was a stupid question, I have just re read the pdf data uploaded earlier in the thread. Seperate implement pump is shown, should have read it properly my apologies. Two seperate pumps and motors both with same fault doesn’t seem likely unless they are just worn out from...

    Cat 963c two speed not working moves slow

    Hi guys you are all going to great lengths to get to the bottom of the drama for the OP… and OP is doing a great job of the troubleshooting at his end. It is a showcase of the forum at its finest! It’s also very fascinating reading I have never driven or worked on a track loader, so I may be...
