Having a problem on an older Clark 75A Front End Loader. Basically, it will go in reverse, but not forward. Problem started when loader went off a truck sideways while being unloaded. After that the loader will not go forward. We have been through the transmission and do not see any visible issues. Reverse Compression: Pressure drops from 1,600 and comes back to 1,200 to 1,400 and moves fine. Forward Compression: Drops from 1,600 to 800 and won't come back up. Also looking for a transmission diagram if anyone has one. Thanks for your thoughts on possible solutions.
Old Seabee is the real expert on these. Hopefully he'll pop in. When I had this problem with ours a couple of times it was due to clutch teeth failure jamming up the clutch for the direction that still worked. Since your pressures are off something else is going on. I do have the manuals on my computer and can attach or e-mail you a few pages. It's just too big to e-mail the entire file. What do you need, oil flow, parts diagram or ? Just for laughs this link is ours that I started after 14 years in the shed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-k_-fzKkCMs
Thanks. If you could email any diagrams on the transmission, that would help. Our email is tammy (AT) brenizersalvage (dot) com.
Komastu 150 you can use a upload site 4share.com to send large file to someone .It is a free site.Just sign up with a user name and password.Just upload the the files .Than click on share and click on get link. Than send the link to them to download .It make large file transfer so easy .I use it and works greatI have sent guys on here large files for machines.
I've heard of it, I'll have to give it a try, my e-mail is pretty much limited to 5MB or so.
Not sure where you are taking your pressures. Transmission clutch pressure should be150 to 200 PSI, no where near 1600 or 800 that you are getting, those sound like hydraulic system pressures. Refering to Komatsu 150's comment about the clutch teeth jamming the clutch in the direction that works, a quick way to check this is to see if you can get neutral. If you can ge neutral the clutch for the direction that works isn't jammed, although it could be dragging but the machine would tend to creep in neutral
I am having the same issue. My loader will go into gear but it will not go either forward or backward. Did you have any luck solving your problem?
