Hello all. I bought a DC 85 Dozer from a very reputable
farmer/dealer. He swears sideway to Sunday it runs as a new
machine. He did a couple ponds etc with it. Well, it sat all winter
,loaded it on the trailer and sent it. When i lower the blade and start
working ,it will barely crawl,it is PATHETIC !!!!! I had a new DC 70
years ago,so I have a fair idea what this animal should do ! I put
both new filters on the hydraulics tonight . Zero change. Dealer says
maybe hydros?? I don't think so.. 2400 hrs on unit,filter I took off
said 1400,so,at least they were changed once or twice.. I'm gonna
throw a fuel filter at it,but it does NOT seem to be a power issue.
Shifting through all the gears,4,5 ? The gauge moves but no speed
change,just slight rpm changes. Once every 200 feet it will " grab"
and take off a second,then right back to a literal pathetic crawl. I
know I need someone to hook up diagnostics to the hydraulic
ports,but there are NO dealers for 100? miles ! Thanx all !
