I have had my best luck using Dot 5 brake fluid as a penetrating agent.

Thank you.

Thank you. Upon closer inspection it would seem I need a few more parts.... I need two of THESE...They screw into the final drive housing and provide the attachment point for the brake rod bellow/seal. http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm171/jdmechanic/IM002914.jpg Also I need the four bronze bushi...

Yes....there are "extra" steels and fiber disks...so use them all? The diff between a 40 and a 420 clutch is extra disks?

NOW things look a little better....well ...OK!

Lavoy, got the new steering clutch & Brake parts today, thanks. Question: I took six fiber disks and five steel floaters out of the steering clutch. When I put the same number ...back in...it "looks" like there is room for another steel and one more fiber disk. http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm1...

Sweet.

The 2-53 Detroit can be set up with several different injector nozzle sizes. N-60's /N-65's I think are pretty popular. Is your cam set in the "advanced timing" position?

Water in oil...yeah, prob a bad cylinder to water jacket seal leaking.

Is your thermostat working properly?

I tried "splitting" the shaft as you suggested....and it came right appart. Thanks. I will be ordering the steering clutch/brake parts from you in the next couple of weeks.

Now...anybody know how THIS comes apart? I can "feel" a bearing inside....and it "feels"...."rough." The bearing(s) must be "inside" of the LARGE "gear" or inside a "female" part of the other shaft, as the ends of the two splined shafts rotate independently of each other http://img.photobucket.com/a...

I also have looked for shutters, for a 40C. A rare bird?

i don't think it is good idea take any material off the bottom of that flywheel unless you can take the same off where the pressure plate sits. make sure you get the gage. nick Now, THERE is a thought! :wink: I have had dealings with this kind of flywheel before. AND...I neglected to remove the sam...

Pretty much everything you see in the images I will be replacing. There would be no way I would re-use any of that old rust crap. Need to find someone who can grind the inside of that flywheel...Or...I might try it myself if I can chuck it up in my lathe... Looks like everything I need for the overh...

Gee....do ya think I will have to replace anything? These are the steering clutch parts from the left side of my 40 C. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/bubagun/my%20bulldozer/JohnDeerecrawler010.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/bubagun/my%20bulldozer/JohnDeerecrawler009.jpg http://im...

I received the new seat assembly, I ordered from you. Fits great! Thanks. Now on to fixing something else..
