have a td7g dresser dozer,i wonder how hot the torque converter gauge should be, the tempt. on motor runs 3/4 over and torque runs about 1/2 or better within 30 minutes of work, new theromastat and clean raditaor, changed fluid and filters on trans. it has a red indicator on dash for main tran filter that shows filter is dirty. but it is not, any help
The green run zone for TC Temp is 115 to 265 degrees F. I would recheck your filter assembly. That dirty filter indicator measures the pressure drop across the filter right at the top of the filter canister. There are two very small diameter steel tubes that bring the filter input pressre and filter output pressure up to the indicator. Make sure they are intact and not pinched off. Edit: I mistakenly said the pressure tubes to the indicator were steel. They are actually rubber hydraulic lines.
I should have said also that your filter indicator could be stuck on the red. With the dozer shut down the red should disappear. If it is working the red should not pop up until after you fire the dozer up.
quick as you start the dozer the red indictor pops up when you shut it off it goes down
My td7g has two filter indicators. The one on the dash upper left is for the air filter and the one down off the panel and over by my right knee is for the trans pressure filter. Does your clutch pressure read good?
pressure gauge dont work, trans works perfect, the indicator on the right for the trans is the one that comes on, goes off when you shut dozer off, thanks
