Advice on potential purchase (Nortrack 3500B)

Hahaha. No, I don't know what you mean. People have put gasoline, kerosene, and all sorts of wrong stuff in their fuel tanks. Some people even refer to a diesel key switch as an ignition switch. Kinda makes me wonder some time. I am **** about some things.

Changed the fuses and bled the fuel system. Fired right up.

Probably all you needed to do was bleed the fuel system, and the only time you really need to do that is when you change the fuel filter or (GASP! :embarrassed run out of fuel.

On that note,

Where do you get your fuel filters for the dozer?

Do you happen to have the proper part # from a supplier like Napa, ect?

I get my filters from NAPA, unfortunately I don't have the numbers with me but I can tell you when I get back to the shop. For the engine oil filter you will have to determine whether you have the metric or SAE filter head - the OEM filters are different but have the same part number. The TY395 engines came with both types.

Fixed it for you:laughing:

Well I'll just consider the source from SNO-HOMOISH.

Ouch :laughing:

That would be great if you could post the part number for the proper NAPA fuel filter. I have already covered finding the oil filter.

Thank you so much Bob.

I need to make you dinner sometime. Truly.

I found this information?

NAPA FIL3195 (gold)

The Puget Sound area is really fortunate to have Bob Rooks and Shield-Arc, two friendly experts!!!!!!!!

That sounds familiar. I think it's the fuel filter. Not 100% sure though until I see it.

Hahaha. Not necessary, a very kind gesture though, but thanks anyway.

 

[Bob Rooks]

Ouch :laughing:

Sorry, didn't mean to leave a blister. :laughing:

 

[PNW1020D]

Yes. That is what is stated for the fuel filter. I just wanted to confirm with you.

Well you need something. Some sort of kind gesture. Ill think of something.

You help alot. Answer quickly and its educated responses that add value to the discussion.

 

[PNW1020D]

I just wanted to post, and confirm for anyone who is looking that the filter listed above is in fact correct.

Here is an update on what the Nortrac 3500B/Bradco backhoe and my 69 JD1020 Diesel have been helping me complete over the last 6-8 months.

Hey everyone.

It has been awhile since I have posted.

I have been consumed with working on the jd 1020D and just recently got her up and running again.

Check out my other thread below that has been a work in progress for some time now. Big shout out to Tx. Jim and others who have helped me on the old girl. Gotta love the old iron diesels.

Now back to my dozer. Over the winter I took out two of the Bradco backhoe cylinders and had those rebuilt.

They were leaking and just needed some good R&R.

It is relatively dry enough here in Western Wa. that I wanted to take it out last night into the pasture. To work the new cylinders, get to tear out some blackberry bushes, and move some rocks.

Well I made it about 15ft out of the barn before my hi-gear selector shaft sheared at the bottom. This was around 6 p.m. last night. Needless to say I was pissed, but I decided to well look into what the **** just went wrong.

I took the top cover plate off, after disassembling both gear selector shafts. The springs, boots, etc.

I then had to drain all of the transmission fluid to find the end of the shaft that obviously was gone. I needed a long magnet stick to get to it.

Please see the photos below. Can someone help me source this part? Or can I have it welded back up? If I can have it welded/fixed does it need to have that same shape as the low-gear shaft? That tapered end?

What material is this shaft made of?

Thanks for the help in advance!!!
