Td6 skid shovel progress


Recommended Posts

I'm in rhode island.  My father still has decades worth of international parts but the problem is finding them.  There's nonorder to his garage.  Tomorrow ill bring my pressure washer there and see if I can blast all the crude out from the transmission area and under the engine.

Seeing Drott on the tag if the TD9 had a Drott loader it could the same. I can see it getting out of line welding it but not very costly to weld and see. The insides look like a Hydrco brand pump I have been in off a AC dozer from the 50's. Any clue what caused the break?

Have done a google search of the numbers on the pump, if your lucky it might tell the out put and pressure it was designed for.  And if real luck someplace looking to sell one.

The only pump I ever broke like that was a cheap vane pump and had a old valve that the by pass was rusted stuck.

Your pump looks very similar to a Commercial (Shearing) pump I had on a 65 Pettibone Super 8 Cary Lift. I still have the parts book (not the machine) with 3 or 4 pages of pump views/parts if it's any help to you.

Hydreco pump was common back in the day. I had one in an HD-6 Allis and I think one in an early TD-9 Drott. The Allis was a loader too.

Ok....pump cover was repaired again...still a tiny leak. Valve was installed and machine started . Just idling on gas the line going from the pump to the valve block built up pressure and the flared end broke off the line and Freddy and I got a nice hydraulic bath....so. we checked out the relief valve and found the spring broken in 2 places. I trip to every local hydraulic shop got is nothing but states from the workers . All local shops say they have no idea where to source  parts for this machine so I'm at a cross road....I cannot find anything local nor have several of the popular salvage yards have anything that works.  I found 2 parts machine. One is a 62 series which won't work the other is 1400 Miles away. It's either I sit on it and see what turns up or I part it out. Motor runs great. Body isn't all beat up and pads and chains are good. Not sure what to do at this point.

Could you just get a generic pump and generic open center 2 spool valve to replace everything? I know this is all easier said than done and with the rest of the machine in unknown mechanical condition is a bit of a gamble. That would be my only suggestion and possibly the only thing that can be done in the absence of parts availability. I had a Case/Davis trencher that we had all kinds of hydraulic problems with. No parts available from Case, so we put a generic backhoe valve on it to solve the parts problem. That undoubtedly would make an excellent parts machine with that undercarriage, but I just hate to see machines parted out. They aren’t going to ever make any more and there will just be one less.

The pump I'm not too worried about. Worst case I have a new cover machined or fit something else in there. The valve is bugging me. The steel formed lines will make swapping anything else in there a bit difficult.   In all honesty  I'm not worried about the steering clutches which I assume are stuck. I know I can get those parts. I. Just surprised there's almost nothing out there for hydraulic parts. About 20 years back I knew of at least 4 of these machines within an hour of my house.
