Dresser TD 15c converter stall
I'm not familiar with the International dozers but there are a couple users here that have extensive knowledge of them, they should be along sooner rather than later. -
D5B Final Drive Leak, I think.
Hard to tell by the photos, but I didn't see anything alarming in the oil, it does appear like the oil hasn't been changed for many hours which also makes what you did see to not be overly alarming...Just normal wear over an extend period would allow fine metallic particles to accumulate. Metal... -
Safety BS
"I have tried to unhook the sensor with the thought of installing a jump wire, but as soon as I un hook the wiring harness the almighty computer detects that it is unhooked and throws a fault code." Have you tried actually installing the jumper wire and THEN clearing the code? It seem it would... -
Cat D6C track problems
With 6000 machines built, it would seem there would be a set of manuals floating around somewhere a person was done with and would like to unload. Seems odd that the 76A model is the one that's the rarest. -
Cat D6C track problems
I didn't notice that Nige, I gave the link because of all the books in the listing thinking there may be one in the complete listing if the OP looked through them all. But good catch on the one in the primary listing. -

Here's some manuals on Ebay to, look like originals... -
Cat D6C track problems
I have a D6C with the serial# 76A5579 I'm told it was manufactured in1968. When you do decide to look for parts for yours, if you go CAT you'll need to be sure and tell the parts slingers to look up your serial number/parts in the Legacy Book, otherwise you'll not be getting numbers/parts for... -
Anyone interested in a good running 48a D7E with 3 blades?
What was Cats estimate for them to come finish the repair? -
DIY window screens?
I guess I missed the boat here, are we talking about screening in the entire enclosure on the machine in question? or just mimicking the standard forestry package that most dozers can have included in the factory build? If we are talking the standard rear and side screens that cover the rear... -
DIY window screens?
I suppose OSHA may frown on drilling holes in the columns, but in my opinion making metal framework and bolting them on (filling the bolt holes and adding rigidity) would actually improve the strength of the structure. I'm no engineer though, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night. -
Found a good "JD Yellow" paint source
I paint my JD's with School bus yellow, its a good match for the older Deere yellow..I buy it at Tractor Supply for $50.00 bucks a gallon there abouts, and the hardener comes in pints if IIRC and a fraction of the gallon prices. It works well but I never tried to match the old paint, I paint the... -
Case 850B won't move when outside temps are under freezing
When you get to be our age(s) I'm 68....sometimes it's going to be better to just hire the mechanic work done.... We ain't kids anymore. Just saying. I know it's a money thing but at what point are we saving money If we are shortening our lives. I hope you figure this out without too much... -
John Deere 450C transmission issues
Not that easy to find huh? JD seems to be that way long before their useful life has ended. -
John Deere 450C transmission issues
Sounds like your pump may be getting worn to the point of bypassing, more so when the fluid gets warm. I've had three JD450's, a B, a C and now have an E...all three have the HLR transmission. I've had very little issues with any of the three, pressure's mostly and fixed with adjustment usually...
