850 crawler torque converter question??

Anonymous-0 · May 7, 2012

My 850 c crawler has had a problem for some time now that puzzles me?After pushing for 20 minutes or so the torque temp starts to rise and I notice oil tracks while backing up and if I dont shut it down to cool off, I will lose it all!Had the belly plates off to see if i could locate the problem area but cant see where it comes from!Can anyone give me a clue as to what the problem might be??Many thanks!!Dave A(MInn.)

Assuming the 850 has a setup similar to a CAT, there is a scavage oil line that removes leakage from the torque converter that would otherwise stay in the housing. If the oil level gets high enough to reach the spinning converter, it will cause things to heat up like your talking about. Too the high oil level and heat can cause leakage past the seals causing the oil tracks your seeing. That said, if the problem I have discribed is what is happening, I have no idea where to begin looking on your machine to do a repair.
