That sounds like quite a project BD! Something I would get myself into too lol I hope they get this picture issue fixed, I was wondering from other posts whats going on. I'm looking at an IH 154 Cub Loboy, its all there but has a damaged rad. Best of luck R59

Thanks R99, I still do work on them 😊 R59

Ok, Hector and others are probably more familiar with this system than I am. R59

Sure, that would be a great way for others to find this post and rescue some of those parts. Early TD15B undercarriage is getting hard to find. Thanks! R59

Good morning everyone. This is an interesting subject, there were a lot of these skidders in this area and although I had dug up a lot of additional material most didn't get into the Payline book by Hank Will. I will see what I can find and share some here of skidder production at the Hough plant in Candiac Quebec. They used quite a few different engines including a Ford engine in early S7's. Detroit Diesel 3-53's were quite common and in the S8's the D-360 and D-358, in the S9's they had D-360's and S10's had DT-360's and Dt-358's. The S11 only had the 407. More to follow later, have a great day, Rocko59

When you have an old machine you always need to at least have an operators manual, it shows how to do these things. Buy a good used original copy on Ebay as an outfit has been selling cheap copies for years with black Useless pictures! We welded lots of covers over those tub pins in many years of working on these.

This one is an earlier TD15B gear drive! The transmission, tracks and the 3 spool control valve are very worthwhile saving. Where is this unit located? It has the real early strutless links on the tracks, more like a TD14. R59

Rick59. Rocko59 here, I don't stop by as much as I used to. The 7G's are usually pretty reliable, the valve below the seat sends main pressure to the 2 way steering cylinder undervthe rear cover, it clamps the clutch disc to force the sungears to walk around and the pinion is driven by the sun gear carrier in the "diff". Check the pressure going to the front hose on the non driving side, the rear hose is the brake side of the steering cylinder. It should be close to Main transmission pressure, 260- 280 psi. Also check and adjust the brake adjustments on both sides. Never let it get to less than a couple threads showing above the locknut. I hooe you have at least an operators manual, buy a good used copy, maybe Ebay, as some reprints have black Useless pictures. R59

Brian. I hope you are back up to speed soon! Binderdan, Nice work on the decal sets!! I have an almost complete set for a TD15-151 Series somewhere around here. Rocko59

Hudco, What model of TD20 are you asking about?

Thank you for all the replies, I checked out the links and found the same axle is in a lot of other tractors, even a ZF 1351 which is used in many more. In Case IH listings it only shows up under 533, 633, 733 and 833 models. They are also used in other makes, lots of Fendts used this axle, the gear ratio could change though. This is sn interesting research project.

Thank you Ryan, I am looking to see what ZF model number this axle could be, to see if they were used in any other more common tractors.

Good morning Cor. Thank you, we have to pull it apart yet. It could be just bearings. I was not able to find a tag to tell us a ZF model number, very few of these came to Canada, but the same axle should be in other models or makes.

Hi Rocko59 here. I have a good customer with this tractor with 4 wheel drive and the front axle, a ZF needs some repairs. Does anyone know much about this model? Would this axle share parts with any others, other makes etc? The tractor photo is from the archives here. Thank you!

Hi Rocko59 here, The earlier S8's came with a D360 engine, since the torque convertor is in the transmission all you need is the correct flywheel, flywheel housing and drive plate and cover. I think the cover with the bearing to support the yoke may be the same as on the D358. Call Brown International Services in BC, they parted out some with D360's.
