the clutch on this rig is for forward and revarse as well as up and down gear changes,mainly when the rig is stationary.
as its an old dozer,built around the mid 1960 s it would mainly be used sparingly on my small acreage in 1 st gear forward and reverse,pushing a little bush and towing logs at...
hi fellows im back with another idea....
clutches..ive changed a few and understand how they work etc etc but am wondering about sizes needed and type of.

i have a collection of hyd valves and...
just one more question,
because the komatsu engine had a balance shaft arrangement running off the crank it ran very smoothly and was solid mounted,so with the lehman diesel should i fit rubber type mounts or simply mount it directly to the chassis as the komatsu was? it may run rougher,but it...
hi all,a question from a newbie
