If the left reservoir is used there will be a sight gauge on it and there will also be an accumulator used, also, the pump suction will go to that reservoir (this arrangement was used on later models). You have two hydraulic pumps mounted on the right front of the engine, the forward one is for the shuttle clutch and the rear one is for the tractor hydraulics. Curious what oil you are using in the clutch, it should be ISO AW 220 Machine Oil (or equivalent) for proper operation. Also curious if the dozer had proper pre-delivery service. Can I ask who you purchased it from? If purchased from a direct importer it most likely was not serviced. Will address your shifting issue next.

The new workbench arrived yesterday. Problem is, I have to build it.

The floor has two coats of this stuff (you won't find it in hardware stores). It's like clear steel and actually strengthens the cement. Makes it real easy to keep clean too.

Nice work Greg.
Looks like you didn't have to rotate the ROPS after all.
Keep 'em coming.

Rebuild kits or internal parts are not available for MOST fuel injection pumps period, unless to an authorized dealer (there are licensing agreements on this stuff that would make your head spin). Even if you could get internal parts, you still wouldn't have the equipment to set the timing and calibration on each individual pump to the governor. Generally, only specialized diesel shops will have this equipment due to the high capital investment ($30k+). A self-taught diesel mechanic that primarily does overhauls, top ends & tune ups won't necessairly know about the spill-timing method, but there is enough info on the web about it.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too Stephan, and good luck.

Rich:
“If I understand correctly, you swapped the #1 and #2 injectors and the #1 cylinder doesn't fire with either injector, right? You say you are getting “raw” fuel from the injector in the #1 position, which indicates to me that the #1 pump in the injector pump assembly is faulty and not delivering sufficient pressure to atomize the fuel.”
If this is the case then my earlier diagnosis is validated. The plunger in #1 barrel isn't getting full stroke or the helix is out of time (calibration). However, the symptoms described depict a dribbling injector that isn't popping at all, almost like the pintle spring is broken (which is not uncommon), but that doesn't transfer from injector to injector.

“Bob, no, it stays up, no leak down at all.”
Let me clarify something. If the seals are leaking by the boom isn't necessarily going to come crashing down, instead look for small slow movement, say a few inches max. until the oil in the cylinder becomes “equalized” and a hydraulic lock occurs. At that point the piston will stop moving unless a valve is actuated. maybe try that again. I apologize for not being clear.
Also, try to positively rule out any suction side air leaks.
