Hi jeff, thats what my dozer would do exactly. I even called in a pro who popped open the top of the case and tried to wiggle the clutch disks and they didnt move and said it needs to be replaced, that cost me $500.00 ouch…..well i got the nerve up to spilt my dozer late last fall. Once i removed the shuttle clutch pack from the case i opened the clutch and found that the cylinders where the pistons are that press against the clutch disks was full of crud, the sludge was a mix of dust,dirt, and metal from the clutch disks them self. I fully cleaned the clutch unit but have yet to order the new clutch disks which were burnt and warped. I found clutch parts at farm boys in Tennessee, for around $600.00.
HI THERE. I added A FILTER AND PLUMBED LINES IN TO DRIVERS SIDE saddle TANK AND FILLED TANK WITH OIL UP TO THE RETURN LINE OPENING BUT ONCE I STARTED UP DOZER THE clutch PUMP WOULD PUT FLUID INTO THE TANK FASTER THAN IT would return TO THE clutch CASE. I PULLED THE 90 fitting WHERE THE return LINE enters THE CASE AND IT HAS A LOng STEM WHICH PLACE CLUTCH OIL DOWN LOW NEAR WHERE THE suction screen IS IN THE CASE. BUT it’s NOT enough suction TO PULL FLUID INTO CLUTCH CASE TO maintain A GOOD OIL LEVEL IN THE CASE. ANY suggestions?
WHAT SHOULD THE LEVEL OF FLUID IN clutch CASE BE, OR HOW COVERED SHOULD THE clutch PACKS BE?
Ok I put down my phone and got on my computer and there’s a lot more buttons and icons when using the computer. Ill be out at my dozer tomorrow for pictures to post. Thanks guys for your help so far.
Yep it does have a big outlet.
also the picture you posted looks close to mine. Except that my neutral line goes straight down to the clutch case. Also I dont have a filter and gauge.
what does the small cylinder on the side of the rotary valve do? And how should It be adjusted?Oh ok. Now that is making sense. The accumulator is plumbed in right of the rotary valve. The feed line from the pump comes up to the rotary valve and enters a tee and the accumulator is tied in there. I thought that was weird. Why have a tank and its not being used. Maybe the previous owner actually assembled the dozer? Could you post a pic of you battery compartment? Also I can’t seem to post pictures myself. Im using this site via my smart phone and it doesn’t seem to load pictures.
The oil I got was from tractor supply co.
My dozer isn’t plumbed to use the drivers side saddle tank. Only the passenger side tank is set up for the blade hydraulics.
My manual calls for 7.5 gal of fluid for clutch system. But the case can’t hold that much fluid. Only about 6 gal. Also the dip stick looks as if it had been broken and Welded together. My concern is if the fluid level is correct. With the fluid filled to read right on the dip stick and top of case off. I can see about 75% of the clutch pack. Does that sound right?
