Note: All tests and adjustments must be made with the oil in the power train hydraulic system at
operating temperature. Be sure that the linkage adjustments are correct before the tests are
made.
1. Move the machine to a smooth horizontal location. Move away from working machines and
personnel. Lower all implements to the ground.
2. Permit only one operator on the machine. Keep all personnel away from the machine or in
the viewing area of the operator.
3. Put blocks in the front of the tracks and behind the tracks.
4. The testing must be done in a closed area. If the test requires the parking brake to be
disengaged, engage the service brakes.
Procedure
When you are defining a power train hydraulic system problem, the following procedure should
be used.

First, do visual checks. If the problem has not been identified, do the operation checks. If the
problem is not fully understood, do the instrument tests.
The procedures help to identify the power train hydraulic system problems. When the problem is
defined, go to the troubleshooting.
The troubleshooting section lists the probable causes of a known problem. Since there may be
more than one cause for a problem, the troubleshooting section may suggest specific
instructions or instrument tests be done.
This list cannot give all possible problems and corrections. The service personnel must find the
problem and the service personnel must locate the source of the problem. Then make the
necessary repairs.
During a diagnosis of the power train hydraulic system, remember that correct oil flow and
pressure are necessary for correct operation.
The output of the pump increases with an increase in engine speed and decreases when the
engine speed is decreased. Oil pressure is caused by resistance to the flow of oil.
When more checks are necessary use the following tools: 8t-5320 Hydraulic Test Group, 4c-
4890 Hydraulic Test Group, 4c-4892 ORFS Fittings Group, stop watch, magnet, thermometer
and ruler.
Visual Checks
A visual inspection of the power train hydraulic system and the components of the system is the
first step when a diagnosis of a problem is made.
Stop the engine. Lower the blade and the ripper to the ground.

2. Follow all power train hydraulic system oil lines from the power train connections to the
valve connections.
Check the lines and connections for damage and leaks.
4. Follow the power train pump lines to the transmission sump and the main sump.
Check the lines, the transmission sump and the main sump for damage or leaks.
5. Check the transmission sump and the main sump oil level.
6. Remove the filter element. Check for particles that were removed from the oil by the filter
element. A magnet separates ferrous particles from nonferrous particles.

2. Loosen locknut (21) and back high idle stop bolt (22) away from governor control lever (2).
3. Start the engine. Move governor control lever (2), until the engine speed does not increase.
The governor control shaft (27) should be rotated clockwise to HIGH IDLE position (E).
4. Adjust high idle stop bolt (22) so that the bolt contacts governor control lever (2). Back off
the bolt away from the lever by one turn. Tighten locknut (21) in order to lock high idle stop
bolt (22) in position.
5. Check the high idle rpm by pulling governor control lever (2) against stop bolt (22). High idle
stop bolt (22) is not an adjustment for high idle.
When the bolt allows the governor shaft to rotate to the HIGH IDLE position (E), stop bolt
(22) is correctly adjusted and the bolt is protecting the governor and the governor control
linkage from damage.
