The new gauge connection did help the ease of being able to connect to the test port under the drum plug but I got the same readings as before. I moved on to step two and long story short, there was already one shim and I ended up adding 3 more but I am now at 180psi at 1,800rpm. Then I went back to...

Ok, I got the gauge and tried the adjustment... first setting the clutch pedal at 3.750" of free travel AND verified that the H-L-R shaft is moving during free travel (at least the part I can see with my inspection mirror duck taped to my finger). Tried screwing in the test line with gauge but the n...

Bruce, thanks so much! I will be giving all that a go tomorrow. I went to town this afternoon to find a gauge but the real tractor and implement shops were all closed and nobody had the right gauge I need to do the pressure check. I have a bunch of gauges but they are all too high or too low of a ra...

Bruce, Thank you for replying, we are racking our brains over here and had not come up with any reasonable explanation for what is happening... I have not verified this yet, I was under the assumption that the HLR linkage under the left rubber plug ONLY effected the HLR and had nothing to do with th...

Nobody has any suggestions? I've been dealing with other stuff and haven't been on the dozer build for the last 2 days, should get back on it this afternoon or tomorrow for sure. If you have any guidance or suggestions I'd love to hear it. I think the problem is on the mechanical side of the trans, ...

Ok gents, not only an update today... I also have questions. For the update, I busted my ass today and got all the welding done on the backhoe seat as well as the engine side guard, just need to drill some new holes and get it all re-painted tomorrow as scheduled. Then I hooked up and pinned both bo...

8) Rain delays are over now 8) which allowed me to get back outside and back to work on the old girl... I picked up two engine side shields on my NY trip this past winter but like everything else that's 50 years old, they needed some work before going on the machine. I had to remove the lower channe...

Not tons going on but I have gotten all the pins and bushings mostly ready to mount the cylinders and loader, I still have to paint all the end caps (except the boom cylinders, They are ready to go and will likely go on today). Just waiting for dry weather to paint. I applied 2 thick coats of Hercul...

Well, I didn't get the cylinders installed. Started to get it all ready, then ran through all the different steps in my head that I'll need to take to finish putting this beauty back together and realized I can get the boom cylinders on but need to put on the track chains and bolt on all the pads ne...

Thanks Jim, that means a lot. Yeah, it doesn't make sense to me that Mother Deere doesn't just let their dealers help the customer any and every way they need to... Ag, construction, forestry, nobody cares which is which except them. It's the only way to make sure their equipment out in the real wor...

Thanks for trying dtoots! I'm guessing they just drop ship a lot of parts which explains why they never have actual photos of the parts they list online. Got the last coat of paint on the hoe yesterday, glad that is complete. Connected everything on the pressure side of hydraulics and tightened down...

dtoots, don't make the trip just on my account brother, but if you're going anyways, that's cool, thanks! I wish they weren't 5 hours away lol. Got a couple good coats on the hoe yesterday... might have one more coat left to do but it was getting dark as I finished so I need to assess in the dayligh...

850, got it, thanks Bruce! Coincidentally, that's where it was after my first adjustment but my buddy thought it was suppose to be lower so we went lower to 700 and it was too low, gave me a feeling like it wasn't going fast enough for the oil pump to do it's job correctly (hence why I asked). Didn'...

There is a set screw on the motor side of the injection pump. The set screw has a jam nut, this is what you need to adjust to get full throttle range. Idle is 850 IIRC.

Ha, was reading back through and felt like an idiot for not remembering...

Fired her up... NO leaks! Turns out rebuilding the power steering pump isn't rocket science after all. Had an issue with the tachometer but got it resolved, the engine end of the cable wasn't crimped well enough and was spinning freely in certain positions. Crimped it down real good and i'm back in ...
