take a quick look at your oil capacity level to make sure it does not have to much oil ( or other fluids that might be leaking into oil) in in crankcase and overfilling.
yeah you are probably right buy new and modify, I have been thinking about getting the metric thread pitch and see if someone else make the same joints but with a different design as far as joint lube service. but that I think will be a dead end.
no ,unless I use a bit of real thin leather over the ball , I will see how long it will say tighter with the added grease. Maybe I should just order new tie rod ends, but I hate to cause I do not like the design. will have to ponder.
well only the dust caps are available the other parts not.so I drilled and taped the steel caps drilled the nylon upper cup to match . It only takes a half a pump of the grease gun to fill, I will order the dust caps and reassemble. It is no wonder they were starting to loosen ,dry steel ball moving on a nylon cup with no lube and no way of lubing. stupid .
I got the part #’s for the rebuilding the ends, I was quite surprised to see it broken down like that I just thought the tie rods ends would be sold complete. When I tear them apart I should be able to drill them somewhere on the backside and place the zerks. It will be interesting to see if the parts I need will be sold like they are shown in the book. Three rubber seals on each side does it.
I am sad to say unless you get and find something strange it is looking like a engine disassm. to measure bearings . do you think that when you pull the belly pans the oil pan can come out so a visual inspection can be done with the engine still in the dozer. I have not worked on a dozer like these.
make sure your hoses are not crossed up maybe use color coded ty raps on each end of the hoses to prevent crossed hoses.
I would think it must be a lack of fuel flow somewhere, if you have a glass or plastic bowl look in there should not be much in there. If there is that would be a good place to start checking for flow and cleaning out. Simply remove bowl after turning the shut off valve on the fuel tank off , then put a jar or something under the bowl base and turn valve on there should be a good stream not a dribble. If you do not have a visual bowl to remove just remove hose at hand pump and check it there.
