Got an old international Dresser Dozer t 25e , great machine , clean with cab Got an issue after pushing for an hour, 1st gear pops out looses prime, grab both levers back and gets prime back leave it in 2nd gear , no problem pushing all day , just issue in 1st gear. checked my suction screen already, clean as can be also already changed all the filters , oil level is good. and any help would be appreciated before tearing into something big
I’ll look in my manual tomorrow but there is some test ports to check pressures. Almost seems like a pilot issue instead transmission or pump problem. I’ll look tomorrow in the manual
Thanks! also we did rebuild the pilot control valve month ago, did have some wear inside but new seals cleaned her up. But its fine pushing in 2nd gear , but only after hard pushing it will jump out of 1st gear, i pull the steering levers both back , gains pressure and will go again or have to go in reverse and try again to first....
Do u have a service manual? Several things to check 1 being pilot pressure in range selector valve and if it good then it’s in the transmission manifold seals. U will have to have a gauge on the range selector valve while it’s running to watch it when it stops. I can try and send u pictures out of my book.
Thanks, I think I have a old manual for it in my shop, will have to dig through many old fiat and deere books to find it, will check the pressure on range selection valve, then unfortunately move to tranny...
Any luck with finding your problem
not yet, ran the pressure test, torque convertor was spot on . But the rest pressure all over the place! never consisitent reading do you know a old mechanic that knows about the 25e g models? hate to start tearing the valve bodys out then tranny in case its a spot on simple problem somewhere....
