This is the dozer I posted about several weeks ago. Pulled it out of mud and have not gotten tracks to turn since. Before it dried up enough I could get to it to load it, it rained over 8". Water was up to about the alternator on engine for a couple of days. Drained water and oil out of engine and started it, runs fine. Got it home and drained everything else and replaced fluids. Trans pump was not working so replaced torque converter, pump, all seals, cleaned everything front to back and put it back together. Have pressure on dash gauge now, but still won't move. Have questions.
Driveshaft turns when running, but stops when I put in forward or reverse. Motor sounds like it has some load on it but does not bog down or try to die. Is this normal? If I speed up motor dash gauge pressure goes far to right (orange) but if I mash brake (right or left) pressure drops back to green on gauge.
Tracks have a lot of dried mud still in them, do you think this could have them stuck and not turning?
I have not given machine a lot of throttle, pressure wants to run on high side of gauge at high idle and only goes down to green when you hold down foot brake, am I gonna blow something if I speed up motor?
Is not my dozer and I never ran it so cannot tell you what pressure on dash it ran before now.
Parts book shows it has parking brakes that are "spring applied" when stopped. Is that correct and could they not be releasing and how can I tell without tearing into the brakes?
Sorry for all the questions but am not that familiar with a Case (I own a Komatsu) Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
