The part that really sucks is I'm working with my buddy that has a dump truck and when the "vdo" doesnt get enough fluid or something it's like it goes out of gear. Found a bunch of gravel on a hillside next to my pond and have been digging bank run. I gave it about two hours tonight until she started to slip and then called it quits. I absolutley love the power of this machine though. But in the future purchases that require a loan! I will have to be a bit more cautious. Sounds like me! I usually trust everyone until they give me a reason not to. Buying equipment I now treat like a car sales men, if there lips are moving their lying until proven otherwise. Managed to get it in with a crow bar, and found other issues after I got it home. When trying to load it on the truck the first time we couldn't get it to go in reverse. Not knowing anything about heavy equipment yet I bought it untried. I bought my track loader from a farmer which told me he just finished digging a big hole with it. As for the black oil offence, that would make me think he is hiding something and doesn't want you to ask to many questions and look to hard. I see the slippage issue is something you would find on your own so he wants to look like someone not hiding anything. Only thing I think of as a reservior is what I usually go boating, but then again also call it a lake.Īs for someone taking offence at you calling out the black oil and also mentioning the slippage. A reservior hold it's contents and gets reused again and again, like the hydraulic reservior, but I call them all tanks. In my opinion it's all about perspective, a fuel tank gets filled and then the contents gest used up and refilled. He was up front about the slipping into gear though.ĭumb question - What is the difference between a tank and a reservoir? I just ordered 3 filters from wix even though I don't know if they have been changed or not. I saw two new pretty white filters and the glass bowl/strainer for the fuel was changed. But I don't know if he actually went to the extra trouble to change any of the other filters. Seemed odd that it was and I asked him about it and he got offended saying I called him a liar! Man, I didn't mean anything by it I swear, It seems with my tractor its the same as well. I checked the engine oil dipstick and the oil was black as night. I didn't know this guy from Adam, but I took his word for it. When I bought the loader the owner serviced the loader himself changing fluids and visible filters that I could see without taking off any guards. I would love to hear thoughts/suggestions as I am not heavy equipment savvy yet and would love to learn from some of the professionals on here! Thanks everyone It's a beast of a machine and don't want to run it when I could fix a small problem that could inadvertently lead to a bigger problem. I love this old power shift and want to get it to the way it should be running. Both have fresh fluids and are both at the full line. Someone suggested that it could be something as simple as a clogged screen? Would this be the suction filter or charging pump? Do I need to drop the belly pan to get to this? I checked the fluid levels both in the hydraulic tank (operator cab) and in the big breather dipstick on the passenger side under the floorboard access door. The converter temp is not even a quarter of the way in the green. All of the temperature gauges are operating and normal. You can hear it squeal a little when going into gear. So basically what happens is after about an hour or so I will have to start tapping the gas to get it into gear. The seller told me that after it warms up a while it takes a second or two to go into gear. I bought this 1983 1450 loader about 6 mos ago. This is my first piece of heavy equipment so please b kind!
