Hi,

Yup. The u/c is run out to about 500%.

Stan
That is a brutal assessment.

And kind of what I thought went I saw it. That don't need no stinkin track gauge.

Re: 1977 JD 450c Loader has no power in reverse

It's odd that all the shifts do not return to line pressure and I don't think adding a penny would do much good as it's already running at 170. Depending on if its a normal shift or fast shift, and the accumulator dumping, it always should return to high pressure and just vary in time. •Shuttle in N...

Re: 350 snow cab compatibility

The jdparts site lists the same AT 35537 cab for the 350 b and c models, no cab is listed for the straight model. Not saying one wouldn't fit though...

Re: reverser oil flow question

When you had the clutches out, did you get to clean the insides and the case sumps? I remember reading here something about running changes of designs for common/separate transmission sumps and drain plugs. A general question: is pressurized lubrication delivered to the ring gear or is it just the H...

Re: As Seen On TV (online, actually)

I bet you walked up hill both ways to school in 6' of snow too !!!! Had to break trail thru 6 feet of snow peppered with broken glass barefoot and when I was lucky, carrying a hot potato to keep my hands from freezing and eat later for lunch. I grew up in a muddy hole in the ground, and we were pro...

Re: reverser oil flow question

Mine seemed to burp air a couple of times after refilling.

Have you checked the oil level when it's making the buzzing noise? Is it different than when its not making the noise?

Re: Low track power

Some quick questions.

What model is this? I think I hear you say 60's and from the serial numbers listed here, it would be a straight model?

If you tip the bucket and bury the teeth in the ground, will it pull backward?

Sorry, I meant to come back and post this.

I made a vid a while back with a gauge on my test port.

Re: A Third Track on a Bulldozer?

I was expecting something more like a Terex TC12, there were several nearby road building when I grew up.

Or a Transformer.

Anyway, that's neat!

Re: new website design????

It's odd that you would be served such an old page. You do have to dig a bit online to get those older archived versions.

Perhaps your browser jumping in its own way-back machine. You did say you recognized the page served.

Re: Low track power

The pressure regulator, cooler bypass and the lube dump valve seem to be giving you fairly regulated pressure readings. So dropping to 0 indicates a blockage or starvation... When you say 'load the machine down' you mean as in pushing hard at operating RPM, yes? While doing this, the engine RPMs rem...

Re: Low track power

Oil pressure at the bung hole.

Did you remove and re-install a 1/4 inch plug under the bung plug where you had the pressure gauge? That should not fountain oil with just the big plug out.

Re: City people, gotta love them, or laugh at them

That's the company.

There was a milk bottle plant in Oil City too and from a certain spot, you could see the blobs of molten glass.

'Milk bottles' alone says how many decades ago that was....
