Keno Tractor and Circle-G Tractor should have seal kits. You will need to have your metric measurements to compare with because there were different cylinders used.

Like David said earlier, you MUST have ALL the load OFF the pins. If you are sure there is no load on the pins, try an inertia puller (slide hammer). Do you have the loader frame blocked and supported?

Glad you’re back up and running Steven.

It sounds to me like you lost enough hydraulic oil to allow air to get into the system. Check for crushed/broken hoses, pulled hose connections and couplings. I’m assuming your backhoe runs off the tractor hydraulics and does not have it’s own dedicated hydraulic pump. Yes?

There is no commercially available backhoe frame mountings for these dozers. That being said, there is no problem with the three-point mounting system on the dozer. The sub frame mounts are for the wheeled tractors which have a weaker mid section (imo). The main issue, as I see it, with the three-point backhoe is that when digging down and pulling back it will cause the backhoe to rise and push the operator back into the tractor. I attribute this to an inexperienced operator, but a rigid top link alleviates that condition. Some say digging perpendicular to the tractor causes extra strain on the mounting system, but I have not seen that as long as the outriggers are firmly planted. I doubt you will find a mini-ex in reasonable condition with a hydraulic thumb and dozer blade for $7,500. My mini-ex has four different buckets with quick attach, a dozer blade, and hydraulic thumb. Figure a minimum of $15,000 in good condition.
Here is a video of my Litw hoe. It has compound controls with float function (not found on Chinese models).Account deleted.
I sold the backhoe. Didn’t use it once I got the excavator. I originally ordered the backhoe with the dozer (a Chinese LW-06) but it proved to be very problematic so I sold it and bought a LiTW BH7600 Korean backhoe with Swiss hydraulic controls. It proved to be a very good unit. But to answer your question, it took me about 30-45 seconds to mount the backhoe using a quick hitch. It would take me slightly over a minute to switch between attachments if they were lined up on flat ground. The nice thing about the LiTW hoe is that it came with a rigid top link, which I would strongly recommend for ANY three-point mounted backhoe. I think the NorTrack dozer has rear hydraulic remotes, so the hook-up would be even easier, and run off the tractor’s hydraulic system.

One of the shortcomings of this dozer is the location of the air cleaner. Since these don’t have pusher fans, when you’re operating in dusty conditions the fan blows dust right into the air cleaner and can plug it in short order. In this video you can see where I installed a self-cleaning Donaldson under the left ROPS sweep.

Thanks. I have made quite a few improvements/mods to mine, some of which you probably wont want to undertake. I also have the optional front end loader attachment which swaps out with the dozer blade and wishbone.

The blue cap is the vent/oil fill, and is located on the governor. The governor and fuel injection pump are two separate assemblies but are attached to each other and share a common sump.

Oops, sorry, I didn’t catch that. :scratch:
The dozer will be fine on that grade, however it should only be backed uphill when it’s that steep, especially if there is an implement attached to the rear, and limit side hill work to about 12 degrees. I have a grade indicator mounted on mine to keep me safe.
The dozer should handle the rotary just fine. You have about 30 PTO HP. I’m using a 68″ flail mower behind mine with no problems at all (I like the flail mower because it doesn’t throw the cuttings all over the place, it’s less of a load on the hitch, it’s much shorter, and not to mention quieter).
When working steep slopes it’s wise to check your oil level first and keep an eye on the oil pressure gauge (these don’t have oil pressure alarms, but I installed them on mine).Account deleted.
