      Also in your pic, it appears that you have some noticeable track link wear.

      Where are you located?

        Probably not using Google.

          Really strange. I have no problems at all. Oh well.

            Of the dozer guys I know of, no one has mentioned an issue like that, and the links in my tracks fit the sprockets perfectly. Have you discussed this issue with a knowledgeable dealer?

            Don't know why the link doesn't work for you. It works on three of my 'puters and my phone. In the Facebook search window type Yuchai and Yuchai and Guilin Dozer Community will be at the top of the list.

              My tracks are doing fine at almost 700 hours. Not sure what the Aussie dealer is talking about, almost all of the small dozers are available with rubber tracks. Maybe it's because he wants to sell steel tracks. The only difference is that they have slightly less drawbar pull.

              It looks then like your tracks are the wrong gauge for the sprockets or vice-versa.

              I was going to design and build some rock guards and carrier shields but that's on the back burner.

              Now for a shameless plug. Check my Facebook dozer page,

                That's a sign that the chains are worn or stretched. When the machine was new, random measurements should have been taken between the centers of the track pins and at periodic intervals. This is how you check your track pin wear. The small machines, including excavators, don't have pins and bushings that can be turned. This issue is eliminated by using rubber tracks. My dozer has rubber tracks with no problems that I haven't asked for. My excavator has steel tracks like your dozer, and I'll replace with rubber when the time comes.

                  It was a cheap and dirty fix, for sure. You did it right Tonto. hailking

                    If it’s gear oil he sees, he’ll need the transmission input shaft seal also, and the retainer gasket too.

                      I’m out of town right now, and away from my ‘puter. Can’t do much with the phone.

                        A restriction in the passages would account for the sluggishness of the servo but not to deadhead the pump. Something else is going on.
