Both the temp. and oil press. senders are variable resistors to ground. Only one wire required.

So, do you have the metric or SAE filter head? Different filters, same part number. Talk to Ronald, he can fix you up with an adapter to switch from metric to SAE if you want to. Most good auto parts houses will stock metric and SAE equivalents. I guess you already know there is no crossover from the Chinese part number, but if you take your old filter to a good parts house they will match up the thread size, pitch and projection, seal diameter, OAD and OAL.

Bob thanks for the info. My equalizer trunnion does not have a zerk would you recommend drilling and installing one? Also where do you grease the adjusting spring? No zerk there either. Thanks ken
There are two trunnions, front and rear, and unless Yuchai has changed it there should be a zerk on the front trunnion. A couple of owners had the forward trunnion bearing bushing walk out on them. Perhaps this is a new style bushing that doesn’t require greasing.
The track tensioner spring zerk is located on the front of the spring housing. It’s right next to the idler shaft locknut. Kinda hard to see. I removed the small straight zerk and installed a 45° zerk. Much easier to service.

Everyone was right. The Chinglish owners manual is a treat to decipher.
Hahaha. Yes. That’s why previous experience is desirable.

Congratulations!
I extended my exhaust up about a foot and aimed it forward. Being able to monitor the exhaust lets you know how the engine is performing. Yes, you are correct. It will blow in your face.

Wow Eric, you don’t need POS neighbors like that! But I think the shipping container was a smart move, sort of a win-win situation.

What is the actual cost difference? You have been getting 6.6 years of service from each of your previous starters. Is it worth the added expense for a 20 year old tractor you won’t be using at all? Were your old starters not rebuildable? Was the original problem the starter or just the solenoid?

This is the best place to get the Murphy gauges that I know of.

The 20 series are 2″ and the 25 series are 2-1/2″. If you use the 20 series you will have to make “washers” so the gauges will fill the panel hole. If you use the 25 series you will have to enlarge the panel holes.
Another worthy add-on is to fit a furnace filter or filter media to the front of the radiator. This will keep the radiator clean. The bug catcher they install on it doesn’t do much.
Another thing you must do when new is to take track pitch measurements. This is important to determine pin and link wear: When the track is tight on top, measure the pin center-to-center distance over four links (there are no bushings, so each track section counts as a link). Take this measurement about every 500 hours, or every 300 hours if operating in sandy conditions (this is why I opted for rubber tracks). Do this for both tracks.

Here is another resource. https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Chinese_Tractor_Maintenance/Dozer#Modifications

Well, first of all I would want to be assured that a good pre-delivery service was performed, all oils changed over from the Chinese shipping oils, the cooling system was flushed and refilled with a suitable coolant, steering clutch/brakes are adjusted properly. When you take delivery remove the large plugs under the steering clutch compartment (these are die cast with an external hex) and inspect for oil – there shouldn’t be any. Don’t assume the machine has been greased – six shots in each track adjuster spring (these tracks are not adjusted with a grease gun), four shots in all the track rollers and the two idlers, two shots in the swing frame pivots and the equalizer trunnion up front underneath the radiator, and all of the dozer blade zerks. One shot for the drive clutch release bearing. You may find that you will have to replace a lot of grease zerks so a good supply of metric zerks will come in handy. The left steering clutch cross shaft has no provisions to grease it so a generous application of penetrating oil should be applied at service intervals. The engine air cleaner will require more frequent inspections due to it’s location – the fan will blow dust directly into it.
Hope this will help.
