    You ought to have a gantry with either a electric winch or manual one for lifting items back in place, Especially the new cylinder head, Some people just don’t have the ability to use a tractor mounted loader with any care, The D6 components are extremely expensive and built to last, Hope you get the job completed to your satisfactory 🇬🇧🇮🇪.

    Sounds good!! Good luck with steering clutches. Let all fluids warm up and get dirt/junk suspended in the oil before changing, hopefully that will help steering problems. Fingers crossed!

    A chain fall between loader bucket and head gives vastly better control lowering or raising head during placement (so as to not bugger up the gasket and water ways)... hope all those parts are ok??

    check the bolts in the top of the gauge pannel. I had this happen to me on a D9G, the bolts on the top were jamming up the linkage on one of the clutches. the fellow before me used bolts to long and they were jamming up the steer clutches

    Your engine sounds great, and starting right up at low temp indicates to me you made a good call not tearing into the engine.

    I am getting ready to do pretty much the exact thing to a D6C I bought. Would love to see if I could get some part numbers from you.

      Good luck with your project - I recommend searching on ebay or elsewhere for the parts manual - its pretty handy. I found mine on ebay for $20 bucks or so.

    add 11/2 ouce of Sea Foam per quart of Oil, it will help Clean behind the Rings and Free them up, Car do it 500 miles before oil change

    It looked pretty cold out there. Maybe trying to heat up the rear end for a while would help if the clutches are just frozen together with moisture?

    You have an exhaust leak where the turbocharger bolts onto the exhaust manifold.

    • @James-kd7dc
      @James-kd7dc Рік тому

      Pretty normal for older engines to leak there a little, especially these old Cats. Nothing to be concerned about.

    Did you pre lube the new turbo? I have a 64 D6C and am replacing the turbo - I know on cars you need to pre lube. Makes sense on these too - but I'm new to the game. Also it looked like a lot of exhaust blow-by at the turbo on start...?

    • @DMIDoes
      @DMIDoes  Рік тому

      Yes, I did pre-lube - the new turbo came with a big syringe and a special oil to inject into it before installing. Yes, she smokes like an old diesel at first start but clears up pretty quick.

    pull the seat and you should be able to pull the covers off and watch the brakes for movement. also you could have water in the brake area frozen.

    • @DMIDoes
      @DMIDoes  2 роки тому

      Yeah the brakes are working, it's the steering clutches not disengaging. And you're right, I think there is water in there and they are literally frozen. Have to wait for it to warm up to even drain them.

      @@DMIDoes typically people pull the drain plugs and then they get filled with dirt and water. on mine ill put the plugs in and dump a gallon of gas in there and run it for 5 minutes and drain it to clean any oil or water out.

    • @DMIDoes

      Good ideas. I'll give it a shot.

      Western Truck & Trailer channel has a video covering stuck steering clutches. Putting a lot of torque through them while in the disengaged position did break them free. Good luck.
