I have an International-Hough Crawler loader from the 70's and I have been moving bark and log scraps with it for a day and a half after having it sit for a year and a half. I had to jump start and charge it to get it out of the shed, I put in all new motor oil, 20 gallons of hydraulic oil, and 20 gallons of diesel. After running it for a day and a half the tracks will not pull the weight of the dozer it feels like, and the dozer will barely turn and when it does the tracks completely seize up. Any ideas or suggestions of what could be wrong or any possible fixes. Considering trying to change the fuel filters on it because they have been on there since the late 90's, I'm not sure wether this will solve the track problem but I hope it will enhance the engine performance.
did you change the transmission oil ? Fuel filters? Air filters ? Tracks are steered by clutches, have them checked by an expert
There is normally hydraulic filters that need to be changed also. To me it sounds like wet clutch pack porblem
If anyone has filter numbers for this machine I would appreciate it. I'm 100miles from the machine and would like to buy a complete set of ALL filters and/elements so ALL oil and fuel filters can be changed before running.
