Usage:

Specifications

Reference: For Specifications with illustrations, make reference to Specifications for D4H, D4H Series II and D4H Series III Tractors Power Train, SENR3118. If the Specifications in SENR3118 are not the same as in the Systems Operation and the Testing and Adjusting, look at the printing date on the back cover of each book. Use the Specifications given in the book with the latest date.

Troubleshooting

Use this as a reference for the location and correction of problems in the power train. When more checks are necessary, refer to Power Shift Transmission Testing And Adjusting, SENR3120 and see Direct Drive Transmission Testing And Adjusting in this module.

Always make visual checks first. Then check the operation of the machine and go on to check with the instruments.

Visual Checks

Do Visual Checks first when troubleshooting a problem. Make the checks with the engine OFF and the parking brakes ON. Put the transmission shift control lever in NEUTRAL. During these checks, if necessary, use a magnet to separate ferrous (iron) particles from non-ferrous particles (O-ring seals, aluminum, bronze, etc.).

Check 1:

Check the oil level in the power train sump. Look for air or water in the oil. Many problems in the transmission and power train are caused by low oil level or air in the oil. Add oil to the transmission oil sump if it is needed. Refer to Operation And Maintenance Manual for recommended oil grade and viscosity.

a. Air (bubbles) may be caused by a loose or damaged fitting that allows air to enter the suction side of the system along with allowing oil to leak out. Air may also be the result of gears agitating oil in the sump if the transmission oil level is too high (overfill).
b. Coolant in the oil can be caused by a leaking power train oil cooler. Water may enter the system if the filler cap or dipstick is not properly installed.

Check 2:

Inspect all oil lines, hoses, and connections for damage or leaks. Look for oil on the ground under the machine.

NOTE: If oil can leak out of a fitting or connection, air can leak in. Air in the system can be as harmful as not enough oil.

Check 3:

Remove the drain plug in the bottom of the main case. This will drain all of the oil out of the power train sump. Remove and clean suction screen. Inspect the oil and suction screen for foreign material. Remove and inspect (cut apart if necessary) the transmission oil filter for foreign material.

NOTE: There is an oil filter bypass valve on the inlet side of the transmission oil filter. The oil filter bypass will open and let oil bypass (go around) the oil filter element whenever the pressure difference between inlet oil and outlet oil through the oil filter gets above 296 ± 21 kPa (43 ± 3 psi). Any oil that does not go through the filter element, goes directly into the hydraulic control circuit. This dirty oil may cause restrictions in valve orifices, sticking valves, etc.

a. Rubber particles indicate seal or hose failure.
b. Shiny steel particles indicate mechanical failure or gear wear of the transmission or pump.
c. A heavy accumulation of fibrous material indicates worn clutch discs in the transmission or steering clutches.
d. Aluminum particles give an indication of torque converter wear or failure.
e. Iron or steel chips indicate broken components in the transmission, transfer and bevel gears, or steering clutches.

NOTE: If any of the above particles are found during any visual check, all components of the transmission hydraulic system must be cleaned. Do not use any damaged parts. Any damaged parts must be removed and new parts installed.

Check 4:

Check the control linkages for the transmission, the steering clutches, the brakes, and the parking brakes for damage and/or adjustment.

Check 5:

Check oil level of the final drives.

Check 6:

Check the adjustment of the track.

Checks During Operation

------ WARNING! ------

When checks are made while the machine is in operation, make sure only one operator is on the machine. Keep other personnel away from the machine. Make sure checks are done in a flat and open area.

--------WARNING!------

Operate the machine in each direction and in all speeds. Make note of all noises that are not normal and find their sources. If the operation is not correct, see the topic Check List During Operation for "problems" and "possible causes".

Check List During Operation

Troubleshooting can be complex. A list of possible problems and corrections is on the pages that follow.

This list of possible problems and their corrections will only give an indication of where a problem may be and what repairs are needed. Normally, more or other repair work is needed beyond the recommendations on the list. Remember that a problem is not necessarily caused only by one part, but by the relation of one part with other parts. This list can not give all possible problems and corrections. The service personnel must find the problem and its source, then make the necessary repairs.

Direct Drive Transmission Testing and Adjusting

------ WARNING! ------

When tests and adjustments are made of the transmission, the parking brake must be OFF. To prevent movement of the machine and personal injury, do the procedure that follows:

--------WARNING!------

1. Lower the bulldozer and ripper to the ground.

2. Put blocks in front of and behind the tracks.

3. Let only approved personnel on the machine and keep other personnel off the machine and in clear view of the operator.

4. When testing must be done in a closed area and whenever possible, activate the service brakes if the parking brake can not be used.

NOTE: All tests and adjustments must be made within the oil in the power train hydraulic system at normal temperature for operation. Make sure that the linkage adjustments are correct before any tests are made.

Torque for all 3/8 in. locknuts (jam nuts) that hold the rod ends in place on the rods ... 14 ± 4 N·m (10 ± 3 lb ft)

NOTE: All rod assembly measurements must be made in a straight line between the centerlines of the rod end mounting holes.

(3) Assembled length of rod assembly ... 390 ± 2 mm (15.35 ± .08 in)

(6) Assembled length of rod assembly ... 672 ± 2 mm (26.46 ± .08 in)

Procedure for Adjustment of Clutch and Shift Interlock Linkage

1. Install rod assemblies (3) and (6) after they have been adjusted to the correct length.

2. Install clutch pedal (2) on the shaft one spline tooth down from where timing mark on shaft is aligned with slot in pedal.

3. Rotate lever (5) as far to the rear as it will go (clutch engaged position).

4. Adjust the length of rod assembly (8) so that the front tread of clutch pedal (2) is dimension (A) of 152 ± 12 mm (6.0 ± .5 in) from the floor plate.

5. Let lever (5) return to the clutch disengaged position. (This is the position the lever will return to with the engine off and no other forces on the linkage or clutch pedal).

6. Disconnect rod (4) from lever (5).

7. Position gear shift lever (1) between neutral and any gear. This moves a plunger to its maximum retraction.

8. Rotate interlock lever (7) as far to the rear as it will go and adjust the length of rod (4) for free fit of bolt in lever (5).

9. Increase the length of rod (4) by eight turns of rod end [approximately 8.9 mm (.35 in)]. Tighten locknuts and reattach rod to lever (5).

NOTE: To bring pedal closer to operator, align timing mark on shaft with centerline of slot in pedal. This will give a dimension (A) of 181 ± 13 mm (7.1 ± .5 in)

See the topic Clutch And Transmission Brake Valve Linkage for adjustment of internal valve linkage.

Control Valve and Manifold
(Removed from Tractor)

NOTE: Earlier and later valve groups may be identified by checking switch (7). On earlier valve groups, switch (7) has two leads. On later valve groups, switch (7) has four leads.

Adjustment Procedure for Valve Linkage (Earlier)

NOTE: Adjustments must be made with the valve removed from the tractor.

1. Move piston (4) toward brake engaged position (piston moving out of valve body) until free movement stops. With piston (4) in this position, adjust link (8) until lever (6) closes switch (7) and allows current to flow.

2. Now move piston (4) toward clutch engaged position (piston moving into valve body) until free movement stops. With piston (4) in this position, and plunger (3) in its free position, adjust link (5) until roller (2) is at dimension (A) of 0.08 ± 0.08 mm (.003 ± .003 in) from link (5).

3. Make sure lever (6) is not in contact with switch (7) after piston (4) and plunger (3) are adjusted as described in Step 2.

Adjustment Procedure for Valve Linkage (Later)

NOTE: Adjustments must be made with the valve removed from the tractor.

1. Move piston (4) toward brake engaged position (piston moving out of valve body) until free movement stops. With piston (4) in this position, adjust link (8) until lever (6) closes switch (7) and allows current to flow.

2. Now move piston (4) toward clutch engaged position (piston moving into valve body) until free movement stops. With piston (4) in this position, and plunger (3) in its free position (no external force applied), adjust link (5) until roller (2) is at dimension (A) of 0.08 ± 0.08 mm (.003 ± .003 in) from the front face of link (5).

3. With piston (4) remaining toward the clutch engaged position, and plunger (3) in its free position, readjust link (8) until roller (2) is 1.50 ± 0.13 mm (.059 ± .005 in) from the front face of link (5).

4. Move piston (4) to the full clutch engaged position (piston moved into the valve body until bottomed). This compresses springs and will require that a lever be attached to the external shaft on the valve to gain the necessary leverage.

5. With piston (4) in the full clutch engaged position, there must be a minimum clearance of 0.08 mm (.003 in) between roller (2) and the rear face of link (5).

(6) Assembled length of rod assembly:

Type 1 ... 202 ± 2 mm (8.0 ± .08 in)

Type 2 ... 195 ± 2 mm (7.7 ± .08 in)

Procedure to Adjust Forward-Reverse Linkage

1. Install adjusted rod assembly (5).

2. Position lever (1) centered in FORWARD-REVERSE slot (as shown).

3. Disconnect rod (7) at lever (8).

4. Move lever (8) to NEUTRAL position (as shown). This is approximately 5 degrees forward from vertical.

5. Adjust the length of rod assembly (7) to obtain a free fit of pin in lever (8).

Procedure for Adjustment of Parking Brake

NOTE: While the Type 1 and Type 2 linkages look somewhat different, the adjustment procedures are the same.

1. Set knob (2) to dimension (A) (parking brake ON position) of ... 106 ± 2 mm (4.2 ± .08 in)

2. Adjust the length of rod assembly (4) to obtain a free fit of pin in lever (3).

3. Install adjusted rod assembly (6).

NOTE: Do not change the length of rod assembly (6) in further adjustments.

4. Disconnect rod assembly (9) at its upper end.

5. Pull up on lever (10) until resistance is felt. Do not stretch spring can on rod (9) if so equipped. Adjust the length of rod assembly (9) until pin fits freely through upper rod end. Then turn upper rod end down two full turns (shorten) and install rod assembly (9).

6. To check parking brake adjustment, install a 0 to 4000 kPa (0 to 600 psi) pressure gauge on either the right or left brake pressure tap.

7. Start the engine and run it at LOW IDLE.

8. With parking brake knob (2) in the brake ON position (knob pulled UP), the pressure gauge must read less than 300 kPa (44 psi). If the pressure is more than 300 kPa (44 psi), make rod assembly (9) shorter and check the pressure again.

9. Push parking brake knob (2) down to the brake OFF position. The pressure gauge must read 2750 ± 150 kPa (400 ± 22 psi). If the pressure reading is low, make rod assembly (9) longer and check the pressure again.

10. After adjusting the linkage in Steps 8 and 9, attach a 0 to 4000 kPa (0 to 600 psi) gauge to the transmission pump pressure tap on the transmission. With the engine running at LOW IDLE, move parking brake knob from brake ON to brake OFF (full travel each way). The P1 pressure should read exactly the same with the parking brake fully ON or fully OFF.

11. If the transmission pump pressure is not the same with the parking brake ON as it is with the parking brake OFF, the parking brake valve is leaking oil and the linkage must be adjusted further using the following instructions:

a. If the transmission pump pressure with the parking brake OFF is less than the transmission pump pressure with the parking brake ON, lengthen rod assembly (9).

b. If the transmission pump pressure with the parking brake ON is less than the transmission pump pressure with the parking brake OFF, shorted rod assembly (9).

12. If linkage adjustments are made in Step 11, repeat the pressure checks in Steps 7, 8, and 9. Readjust as necessary until all pressures are correct.
