I have had trouble starting my NT3500C dozer. I thought I would check out the glow plugs. I found the glow plugs and buss bar but no connecting wiring. I thought I was loosing it as when I turn the key to to the glow plug position the amp meter was showing a draw. Looking father I found the manifold preheater. Like Tinbender, my dozier appears to have glow plugs but nor wired. I have a question? Can I use the same wire lead that is used for the manifold preheater for the buss bar. I am wondering if I should wire both the manifold preheater and the glow plugs, or one or the other. Since the manifold preheater does not appear to be helping much I am favoring the glow plugs. Would appreciate any input I can get.
I have pictures of all the damaged parts I replaced. I took them for the person I bought the dozer from. He had represented it to be in good working condition based on the in competent people he had working on it.He paid for the parts I had to replace… Below is what I found when I dropped the pan
You are probably right on the break bands. My breaks are good for the moment but I am going to take a more in depth look before dropping another final drive. Not my favorite thing to do…
I have a question on breaks. Does anyone know anyone that has replaced the brake bands through the top plate on a Nortrac. I noticed that the saddle bags were notched as if to remove the break band actualization pin with out removing the saddle bags. I talked to a supervisor at Nortrac and He said he had heard of it being done though he had not done it himself.
I guess I was fortunate when I rebuilt the final drive on my 2005 NT3500C. Nortrack had all the gaskets. My problem was spacers were back ordered.
2005 Nortrack NT3500C with steel tracks manual shift. I purchased the dozer with 100 hours on it. I have repaired the starter, replaced the voltage regulator, replaced the steering break on the right side, rebuilt the final drive on the right hand side(all bearings, seals and gears), repaired tack. Everything is 100% for now…
