    John Deere 333D not moving???

    Well, I've made progress! Got yelled at for spending too much money but oh well. I think it wasn't too bad. Spent $2200 on the hydraulic pump, $4280 on the Hydrostatic Tandem Pump and $3531 on the drive motor. I had hopes to possibly sell the used pumps on ebay or marketplace for half off or so...

    John Deere 333D not moving???

    Ok, new update. Still don't have gauges! Got a used drive motor from a machine with only 800 hours and installed it on the left side. Put it back together and hoping for a miracle and still at a lost. If i move the joystick forward or to the left, I have zero movement out of the machine...

    John Deere 333D not moving???

    I think i may have figured the issue out? I think I read a response from another posting where you said something about capping off the hydro pump going to the drive motor? If not, I'm sorry, but I read it somewhere. Either way, I never could get an answer about my drive motors, whether I...

    John Deere 333D not moving???

    I'm sorry for not getting back, I was working on the machine last week and then we got busy moving equipment so I just haven't got much done with it when I've got in. I've been trying to concentrate on making sure everything is cleaned out and there are no blockages in any of the lines or...

    John Deere 333D not moving???

    Well, after looking at that manual some you told me to download today, I realized that the pump at the motor is for the high flow for the machine so that isn't another pump I'll need to buy. I figured out that the charge pump is at the end of the pump. I've tried calibrating the tracks, but it...

    John Deere 333D not moving???

    I spent yesterday and today on this thing and I'll post what I know. First off, I'm no professional mechanic on these, I'm just pretty much doing this on the fly because the boss wouldn't get anybody out here to fix it, and after talking to the deere mechanic that wouldn't come out here but...

    John Deere 333D not moving???

    Sorry for not replying sooner but I didn't feel like working on it over the weekend and then today if I wasn't hauling equipment, I was servicing a dump truck since it was raining most of the day it seemed like. If my original post had any repeats to it, sorry about that, but I think I could...

    John Deere 333D not moving???

    We have a 333D skidsteer that I run a lot at our business and one day I was pushing with it and it was running fine. I came up hill and it started to slow and I throttle up and got it up on level ground, but then it just stopped pulling. It would only do circles in one direction, but I can't...

    555 or 555A

    Thanks for the input, it doesn't have an A painted beside the 555 so I guess it was a true 555. The only difference I really see on the tractor data is the A shows a little more power. My Unit Number is 3L10B, which if I figured right, would make it built November 10, 1983 on the day shift...

    Hello everybody, We are upgrading from our old 4500 that is wore out but still does the job to a little new Ford TLB. I don't have the numbers with me at the moment but I will post them later but I think it was made November 1983. I'm trying to figure out if it is a 555 or a 555A. Seen...

    Ford 4500 TLB Rear wheel seal is leaking

    It seems like if we look like we are making progress and getting close to fixing the things wrong with this thing, we have another issue that decides it wants some tlc :) So out of nowhere the other day, the left rear wheel seal began to leak. I'm just wondering what needs to be done to fix...

    Ford 4500 TLB igition wiring help

    Thanks jimg for the wiring diagrams. On the 4500, just like the 5000 I believe, there is 5 wires going to the front of the motor around the valve cover. One goes to the temp sending unit, one goes to the oil sending unit, 2 go to the generator and the last wire is a spare with a connector that...

    Ford 4500 TLB igition wiring help

    The two wires though are put together as one at the connector and they were both red looking. Be easier to take the sheet metal off cover the tank to really see everything but I know it connected at the switch new. Still don't know what they do, but they either are hot all of the time if they...
