Wondering if anybody can give me an estimated time to repair rightside steering clutch. Customer wants an estimate and i have no idea on this on. Ser is 6063
I am guessing you are working a HD5G loader? If so those are fairly simple save for the room to get a pair of hands in, should take a few 8 hour shifts to disassemble and reassemble, parts should be available thru General Gear in Boise ID(discs or used components) or Minnpar out of Minneapolis(seals/bearings). I had three full days peeling the clutch out of my HD7G but is a hydraulic operated wet clutch unit, 5G is a hand linkage operated parts dry clutch. Will need to drop track on that side so can roll for bolt removal.
It is a loader. The ts5 is all the info i could find on it. It is a hand clutch for transmission and hand levers for steering. Then has two pedals. Thanks for the info. ( hoping he will decide to sell it) needs lots of other work.
Right rear corner as you look at it, should be the serial number, if is a HD5G will start out with those letters/numbers and a four or five digit s/n. Lots of them still functional, lots of units have been sent to scrap or to yards, quite a few more sitting in fence rows so some pieces used still available. Did it have a two cylinder Detroit or a four Allis? If the latter will be a later model.
It has a detroit. Been sitting about 5 yrs. new battery and shot of either it fired right up.
Yair . . . Not sure about DMiller's comment above. If it is a conventional clutch/brake setup (which it should be given the era) the tracks shouldn't need to be split just to take out the clutch . . . you would need a bit of room out front and the bucket/blade off the ground or on skids but to rotate the drive for bolt removal I just roll the tractors forward with a jack under a grouser. No problem at all even on D8 size machines. Estimate probably a bit over a day out, a day in, best part of a day to dismantle and measure the disks and reassemble . . . provided you have a press . . . biggest problem is often what else you find when you get in there. Cheers.
