the guy who used to hang out here who is the dozer expert left, But if I remember those clutches are dry type correct? and I guess remove the floor plates and follow the linkages if you are lucky there will be a inspection cover. I had a dozer once but is was way different than what you have. good luck
I think I would disconnect the drive shaft, that will separate the trans from the front end , no sense opening the wrong thing, also people have had issues with the drive shaft ends( they are not u-joints) , yes their balls fell out. some people redesigned the joint using what I do not remember to provide better engagement so it would not be a ongoing problem. I believe the joint is the weak point vs. they gearing ,but anything can break. let us know what you find.
If there has been no deadheading of the pump, maybe just to be on the safe side work in a gauge to monitor the pressure on the new pump. People have had issues with the quick connects in the past causing problems, maybe a partial restriction is at work here? maybe also over pressure bypass issue.
before you get to carried away check the lever on the pto for damaged or sheared roll pins. and as far as I know all the hydro systems are self priming , it might take a min. or two. , but the pto is not powered by the hydros it s power comes at the first let off of the clutch pedal to get what ever spinning before the tractor gets power to the wheels.
I agree these radiators are thin so to much pressure trying to keep the anti-freeze in the radiator will make it split, I to added a recovery tank and kept the pressure low.
sorry this took so long but the only thing I see on it is .5 , I assume that is what the cap is rated to hold but it does not say what metric measure they are using . I have another Chinese tractor and it’s cap says .6 and again to what metric scale are they using to measure the rating. I check my parts book and they do not show the cap as a part if you want one you have to buy the whole radiator,,, just stupid,, stupid as eating a bat.
it is low 3 or 4 lbs I think . I have a 2006 Foton ft504a with a 50 hp quanchi engine, but if I remember right I got one at napa. If I can I will look at it for some numbers and get back.
