Case 850C bulldozer

Farmall706guy · Jan 14, 2017

Hello. A few days ago I turned up my Fuel System on Case 850C for the heck of it. Not doing much of any heat work with it, just land clearing. I came on here today to see what everyone's thoughts are on that, what I should watch out for after I turned it up, anything to be aware of? Is it a bad thing to do? If so I would always turn it back down to be safe. Thanks all, God bless. Ps: I had a track actually come off of the sprocket today as I was dozing, oh man, was that a dang job to get it back on, though I did get it back on. I am going to replace the sprockets with new ones, and hopefully get by for a year, then I'll be able to get new chains to....

IF you knew what you were doing when you turned it up, I'd say leave it.. BUT if you were takin Joe Shmoe's brothers Uncles advice on how to do it.. you probably better turn it back..
If its not blowing to much smoke and the stacks not glowing.. letter rip, tater chip..

Love that Letter rip tater chip ..comment wonder if he slacked the track adjuster to put that track back on? Things young folks won,t do.. LOL

Well I wish him luck...by turning up the fuel he is causing more internal engine heat... also engine wear is increased. Granted he will have more power for awhile until something goes wrong.. and it will . Seen it happen more then once... the tractor is designed for the amount of power it produces.. final drives transmission etc... are designed for a certain amount of horse power. I've seen tractors and trucks both go down for this increase in power adjustment.. not for me . If you want more power.. get a bigger tractor...! As for the tracks you are not going to save anything by using new sprockets .. the old track chain will ruin the new sprockets and vice a verse. Both need to be replaced at the same time to accomplish anything good .. basically all the undercarriage needs to be replaced to get it right!! Just my .02 cents.

jdtractor is right, your worn out chains will not like the new sprockets. Good chance the bushings on the chain will not go into the sprocket pockets because the pitch has extended. Could even have a negative effect on the final drive. Just an educated opinion.

Does your 850C have the 336 cu. in.? I've owned and operated 3 machines with the 336 engines. One seized the bottom end, the other two have been good. All mine were non-turbo. My impression from others ...be careful not to abuse the 336's. I suggest you be careful if you have turned it up.
