That's going to be purdy when done, well worth your efforts and purse book drain, nice to see folks going the "extra" to preserve the old AC Machines. They just don't build em' like they use to.

Your rebuild job is very impresive Steve. The grill you mentioned would be to allow better cooling. My EP (same model) gave cooling problems until I fitted a grill that allowed much more air flow. I made one with 3/8 rock sreening mesh. Unrestricted air flow with good shielding against tree limbs and scrub. Keep up the good work. Mac

Steve and Mac
The fashion around here is to make a grille with flat plate at about 45 degrees up and wide enough that they shield one another from the front. Some of our sticks can be real trouble if you push into the head of a tree with mesh in front. And this design doesn't seem to restrict the cooling.
If I work out how to post a photo I have one of these on our FA 10 but the description should work.

Steve,
Been down a similar engine track with an AC "Forty Five".
Came with a dead engine (rod bearing). Tripped over a short motor out of a liquidation sale - with "overhauled injection pump".
Plus local help and we had two good heads and 15 injectors to test. Got 8 useable.
Then found a massive diesel leak into sump. Now know more about Am Bosch rotary pumps. The "overhaul" left ihe bottom O-ring out of the head sealing, squashed the clip holding the sub-tappet to the head for install and was one tooth out on timing.
Then we had return to idle problems, which diesel apprentice son tracked down (over about a day) to a burr on the control shaft that runs the spill valve in the head.
We've seen a lot of the insides of one of these pumps! Including the strategic extra wire on the govenor linkage on our test model from the original engine.
It started OK timed one tooth out - but the plunger was hydraulic locking until the port opened. Now needs a short squirt if ether, but runs fine after that. I think I can live with this - it is a ranch grader - but comments would be welcome
Ian

Great effort Steve. One hell of alot of work; but if you,ve got the patience; knowhow; money; and a great workshop; you can fully rebuild most dozers; and at least then you know what you,ve got and can hopefully expect 6000+ hours of trouble free dozing.
To my way of thinking is a better option; and cheaper; than going new. Down here at the bottom of the world a new D6 is about 600,000 pacific pesos, and i can think of better things to spend that amount of coin on Not that i have anywhere near that anyway; but will have to do some major rebuilding to my D6D this winter. Hows your other crawlers going ? Don,t be shy put some pics up of them too Cheers Merv

I just thought i would check up on your rebuild and see how it is going. My 16 is in the corner of the shed taking up space as i can not bring my self to put it to work so I bought DX175 and use it instead. |
