So kudos, :good: :good: plaudits, encomiums, and HuZZAS to Mr. One might conjecture that drilling a hole in the arm, halfway between the existing one and the pivot point, would be easier, but: Usually, folks think of a block and tackle as a way to increase the force pulling on the block,Īt the expense of having to pull more rope.īob’s apparatus reverses the matter, making the PUSH effort on the pedal double, and the MOVEMENT of the actuating arm double. 30 HP engine with an 8 speed transmission. So, what Bob has show above is a way to “isolate” the brake function from the hazards of incorrect adjustment, by giving the brake actuation stroke twice the distance it would normally have to effect engagement. Tom Dickson gives the East Wind YCT356S-S compact dozer a test run with great results. 2015 Nortrac NB3500B Dozer with a 6-way 64 Blade, 3 point hitch & a rear 540 PTO. Rooks disabused me of that hope: and I do regret to note he ain’t been wrong yet,afaik!) The NorTrac 40XTD Bulldozer is incredibly strong and versatile, perfect for tough earth moving, ground leveling, road carving, and deforestation jobs for. (I had read that you didn’t have to do that to replace a brake band, but Mr.

Now this is STILL a rather delicate adjustment, and the penalty for getting it wrong may be what I May HAVE TO HAVE DONE which is pull the track, bull wheel, saddlebags, and other stuff I’ve no interest whatso-fn-ever in doing: Rather, you have to feel where the brake arm begins to engage, and set things so that the front of the sequence slot is at THAT position, to effect the timing of clutch release and brake engagement in accord with the instructions. It was only then that I started to “see the light”.īECAUSE my left brake is about SHOT, the instructions as to where the pin should be in the sequent slot before applying the pedal will not work, and the brake would NEVER get involved. I did not understand the silly thing at all, until I decided to sell it, and got serious about making it right for the buyer.Īfter I wrapped a strap around the conflicting hoses and pulled them together and up a bit, and cleaned the linkage area up, I fiddled and cursed and got nowhere.įinally, I pulled the cotter pins, which took me damn near 2 hours, so i could FEEL the movement inside the cases.
#Nortrac dozer manual#
I’ve had my dozer for 10 years, and could not get the left brake-clutch to work, but noted that i COULD use it if I left the floorboard off, allowing the pedal twice it’s usual range. The compact NorTrac 40 HP bulldozer is incredibly strong and versatile, perfect for tough earth moving, ground leveling, road carving and deforestation jobs. The 35XTD crawler/ bulldozer is powered by an energy-efficient, 4 cylinder diesel engine and has a versatile manual transmission with 8 forward and 2 reverse speeds with a category 1 rear hitch and 540/720 RPM PTO, the dozer can be used with implements as a backhoe, post hole. In my considered opinion, the “fix” described here by Bob Rooks addresses THE worst feature of these 1950-era equivalent technology dozers.
