I've taken a dremel tool to my toe nails before...

It's the best 25 bucks spent. Give it a try.

ok this is the top side of the trans/steer clutch compartment.View attachment 301179View attachment 301180 And this is the main leak. The piece of 1/4" aluminum plate.. there is 4 bolts holding it on and there is springs behind it so I havent dared take it off all the way just yet.View attachment 301181View attachment 301182 These are the lines that I thought were leaking but once I got more of the gunk and 30 year old grease/dirt/unkown to science stuff out of there, I realized it wasnt the lines leaking.View attachment 301183 So now I have to get my service manuals back tomorrow from a friend that needed them, so I can figure out what is behind that plate. I dont want to just take it off and have lots of springs and bits just flyin out all over the place. I am assuming that this is a shifting bank and what is behind this plate is like a modulation valve ...but not 100% sure.

And anyone that says TD8's were not ahead of their time ....I will have to differ with them. There is no wiring in those pics.. that is all hydraulic lines. The Hydraulic schematics for this machine are a nightmare. Dresser/IH had powershifts in dozers before Cat or Deere. Early Case machines were Hydrostatic/mechanical monstrosities. Sorry .. had to geek out for a minute.

I have some big 'ens to drop in the morning! Super nice oak set in a drawl, look like (6) cutters if they are sound...and that's a big "IF".
Had to butt off almost 50% of what I dropped today. Ran into one of the most vast sets of oak bore kill I have seen...gonna take pics of it 2moro, upwards of 40% dead not counting what will be dead next year. Oddly enough, the bigger dead standing timber is almost always sound, to where the live timber has rot and shake, plus fire rings.

I can't believe I'm getting pulled off this set after 2moro. I now estimate another month of solid cutting on this tract. Meh...I want to go cut the massive pine set anyway!

CLINT ;;; the word is FALL . If your gonna be a professional then you FALL TIMBER any f#$%&* g dummy can drop s#$t.

I appreciate how hard you work and everything. But PLEASE. ya gotta stop using that word. It drives me much crazier than I already am. Next thing you will be showing pics of sloping back cuts. :ah::ah::ah::ah::choler::::bang:

 

[bustedup]
