thanks for the reply, seems to be a lossing situation on these tracks very hard to get not an easy task, thanks again

does anyone know if tracks off the D-2 cat crawler will fit the IHC TD-5?

as many have said and i find the same the BD-144 engine does not start well. with all the glow plug system working properlt as well as the resistor, will the resistor stop the glow plugs from burning up. i find a need a good minuite of glow plug heat for the engine to start?

no just adjusted the old ones seems to be working ok.

i found the problem had to slack off bk bands more in reverse they were grabbing more than forward. i have slacked off a second time as well.

i just set up my brakes and steering clutch linkage as best i could as per manual. the brake bands needed a lot of titening to adjust up. so after trying it a little it seems much better, at least now foot brakes work and steering levers dont need to move as far as before. i tried forward in all gears. all good. now in reverse it wants to kill the motor upon realising the foot clutch so i was carfull not to fully realeas the foot pedal. i tried it again realeasing both steering clutch levers, and let out foot clutch. that was good, no killing the motor. then upon realesing slowly one steering clutch lever, and it tried to turn the track in reverse. tried the other side and it wants to kill the motor? any ideas what the problem mite be?

thanks for the good info much appreciated

thanks for the video. yes i think they were hooked up all rite but will check again and also check for shorts etc. so should you only apply power for about 12 sec on this system?

working on the glow plug system on my TD-5 crawler. dont know what i am doing wrong but i burnt up two resistors and a couple glow plugs in doing so. by pluging in block heater anf heating intake got it to run but dont know why the resistor just burnt up.?

thanks so much for the info

can anyone tell me the torque specs for con rods mains and cyl head bolts for a BD-144 engine. my info i have is 40-45----80-85----and 75-80 for the head is that correct?

wow thanks so ,much for the info, do you still have any IHC eq as in the TD-5 crawler? i live in Creston.

working on a BD-144 diesel engine in a TD-5 i am putting new rings on pistons and notice the oil rings are a one piece ring with no expanders etc is that common the compression rings look fine as compared to the old ring set but old oil rings were a four piece ring? as of yet i do not have a manual or not one for the engine. i see no stampings to indicate which way pistons face in the block? also do the 1 2 3 4 nos on the rods face the camshaft? or does that not matter? thanks for any help

it appears to me the manufacuture of the ring set does not see aneed to use the multi piece ring in the first oil grove, and the second never did have such a ring set?
