JDcrawlers Messageboard

great ideas, thank you. but if i put in the bigger injectors will that cause more things to break prematurely?

dozer has been sitting for about six months and I pulled the dipstick to check the oil and it is overfilled. Looked watery and smells like diesel (why I am assuming it is diesel) . Didn't have or notice this problem when I parked it. What happened or went wrong?

the two bolts you are talking about should have a metal lock tab to keep them from turning and behind the cover you should have some shims to take up slack.

agkits.com look under detroit truck engines for the 2-53. Kits cost $358 if Lavoy can't help.

Service manual says split the tracks and remove both finals. remove Bearing Quills.

Keep it all when things break, things get exspensive. Parts availability is lower than the new crawlers. My experience is if you sell any parts machine, the next day something breaks and the part you need was on the parts machine that you just sold. Just my opinion

throw out bearing may be set too far out and disengaging right steering clutches. Maybe oil soaked. clutches maybe too worn and need replaced. All of the mentioned above can be seen in the access holes uner seat on right hand side and one behind right foot. Not that hard of a job, but I would sugges...

this is the website where you can see what I need. It is the first two pictures.

this is what I have, don't know if it is what is supposed to be there. I have a 1 inch O.D. 6 spline male shaft on my crankshaft, and I have a 1 inch O.D. 6 spline male shaft on my hydraulic pump, the part i need and the part that stripped out is the female 1 inch I.D. 6 spline that is coupling that...

got a few suggestions here, i have seen them all with my own eyes. if you have a rubber fuel line, i had the inner layer bubble up. When you start going up hill the fuel heads to the back of the tank and quits pushing fuel through the bubble in the line and actually shuts fuel off. OR there is a sma...

I need the 6 spline coupling that connects the hyd pump shaft to the crank shaft. If you got one, how much?

only problem with welding is you will burn seals up in the pump. it is a 1 inch shaft with 6 splines and coupling is about 2 1/2 inches long. got a machine shop friend i think he is going to make me a new one.

father in-law has some tracks for a 40c 5 roller w/ new pins and bushings. Best i can remember rails are really good too. They are for sale but last time i asked him what he wanted for them they weren't cheap. If you have a maximum amount in mind that you would spend on a set i could tell him about ...

does any one know where i can find the coupling that connects the hyd pump to the crankshaft? or any tricks on fixing it. front left side motor mount bolts fell out and shifted motor and stripped splines out in coupling.

I found the measurement in the shop manual, my question now is the measurement from the bottom of that small hole or the flat face of the injector body?
