Problem 1:
I was moving some slash on the farm. A hydraulic hose inlet on a hydraulic cylinder got ripped off. I don't know how- I just know one minute, tra-la-la moving slash, next minute hydraulic oil is pouring out of the left hand side(as you site on the machine) 6 way blade's left had side blade angle tilt(way it tilts to right or left or can straighten up).
The fitting broke off so bad I do not not think I can repair the hydraulic cylinder. Big Woof, I have a pit in my stomach because I cannot find anything remotely like the cylinder on it, and I'm tight on cash right now and do not know if I can afford a pair of cylidners, even from liquidation place.
Problem 2:
Since problem 1, the machine is acting like the clutch mechanism is stuck. In other words, I crank it, I push down on clutch, put in gear, let off on clutch pedal- clutch pedal laughs at me and stays down stuck. I can take a wrecking bar and pull up on it and the tractor the is in gear- but put the clutch pedal down to shift and it is the same story.
I have a neighbor who had one of these and he said it is the transmission pump. To try to drop the undercover and clean the filter, but more than likely I'm looking at $500 and a lot of pain.
The engine is strong enough that I can actually start the tractor in gear, and then lower rpms to where it is about to die, shift without grinding by barely depressing clutch pedal, it starts to die, then I can increase throttle and go through all the gears.
Dozer has legit fresh off the boat 1700hr hours. I paid $2000 at an estate sale as it was a pig in a poke. I knew the Mitsubishi 4 cylinder engine was good, so I figured it was worth that.
Machine was imported in Texas, some fellar moved from Galveston to East TN. He sold it. An old man down in Georgia bought it, passed away, and I went to his estate sale. Cheapest thing there, a friend roll backed it home for $80.
The steering clutches stick if you let it sit a long time, but you can pretty easy break them free if you bury the blade and then work the clutches left and right.
Problem 3: What Oil do I need to be using in the hydraulic system ? The Universal Tractor Fluid was included with the machine. The very limited notes I got on the machine indicated that it needed 40w oil in the machine. I could not find straight 40w, so I used the UTF- I looked it up and Nebraska and Missouri have delisted it. What is an acceptable fluid for this machine ?
Thank you all.
