“It looks to me like it has splines on one side but not on the other and the two pictures were taken from different sides.”
Acutally the splines are there, it a combination of the picture angle and the fact the the prime coat has fill in the grooves.
It is offical. This weekend I complete the tear down of the dozer. Parts are everywhere in the shop
Next task is repair of the clutch as seen in my last post. I will be cleaning up all parts and applying a new coat of paint as I put it back together.
Bob figured I figured out what caused the wear. The part is the shift arm for the clutch shuttle. The shuttle was frozen to the drive shaft.
I had to use a gear puller and lots of lube to get it off the shaft. Here is a pic of the two parts together
Here is what the new part looks like
Okay yall, Need some help. Got The clutch torn down last night and found this. Lots of wear damage…
This to means means I have a shuttle problem. Frozen on the shaft. Anyone seen this? Already ordered a new part.
Next looking at the clutch plates I have no idea if they need to be replaced. I have no idea what the original thickness were. Any one have that number? I was thinking I would replace the clutch rings since I already have it torn down, but why spend the money if I don't have too.
update 2/15
Worked on her last night. As you can see I have alot of stuff removed
Here is the front removed.
Took the cluch plate off just to see what it looked like inside
Quick update
Saddle bags removed
Tracks removed
All that is left to remove is the fuel tank and dash.
First stuff to repair will be the radiator and cracks in the blade arms, Then I will move onto the clutch, brakes and sterring pads.
Picture coming soon
Latest. My overhead crain kick ass. Makes all of this so easy. Here is a pic of the blade after removal. Moving this out the way was a snap..
ROPS was a little more difficult to remove. I had to remove it in two steps. First I had to add a second lift to my roof trusses
I used this lift to lift the ROPS off the sockets then I transfered to the crain and lowered it to the floor. Again my crain kicks add
So here is what she looks like today.
Weekend is coming and I will be working on here both days. We will see how far I get
Bob
If you remember at the beginning I was going to do a total tear down of the bulldozer. Well this will include the BH. She will get new hoses and a controller like you BH has, and a paint job. Cylinder don't leak externally, so no overhaul of those I am thinking.
SO this is what I have done so far
0) Battery is out
1) WD 40 every bolt and nut
2) Bucket and arms are removed from BH and bucket cylinder.
3) Blade lift cylinders removed
4) Blade angle cylinders removed
5) Working on removing the blade
Bob, I had planned on trying your suggestion for the ROPS. Once I get it off the sockets then I would use the overhead crain to move it out of the way.
Plan forward for the next few weeks:
Dismantle the backhoe
Remove blade
Remove ROPS
Remove all actuators/controls/hoses
Remove saddle bags
Remove tracks
Remove radiator (need to be repaired. has a leak)
Remove engine
Remove gas tank
Remove dash board
Hope to have all this done by end of the year
Any tips?????
Well she is in the shop. I wanted to back her in but she would only go forward. Plan is to start from the outside and work my way into the center. First part to remove was the top and I already ran into an issue. My overhead crain is not high enough to lift it off the dozer. Opps
Looks like I will have to hang a chain from the roof trusses to get her removed.
Last week I picked up a couple heavy duty shelfs to store parts as I remove them from the dozer
Here is a shot of one of them
As you can see I got the battery already removed. While I was picking up the shelfs the had this used workbench on display and I decided to add that to my shop as well
This will be great for doing detail work. Here is my existing bench all cleaned up ready to get dirty again
This bench is 13 ft long and 6 in thick. I used gluelam beams to build her. She weight 500 lbs.
I don't like wimpy benches…
