![]() ![]() Not sure that answers your question or not. ![]() On the later model case dozers, they have an additional lever up on the counsel and you can switch on the go between all four gears, something that's really nice once you get used to having it and need to go back to the older dozers. I hardly ever switch, most of my work is always in first and third. As for the high side and low side lever down by your foot, or as some see it, down on that lever is 1st and 3rd, and up is 2nd and 4th. Now that said, I hardly ever use the brakes, I either am pushing dirt and need to go the other direction, and the when you idle down, you stop anyhow, or when I'm backing up, I drop the blade as I let off the throttle, use the blade to slow the dozer, shift directions and stomp on the throttle again, only when I don't want to drop the blade or am not pushing do I use the brakes, then very seldom if ever, most times I just let the dozer slow after the idling down and when it comes to slow or stop, shift and head the other direction. when going from forward to reverse, I idle the dozer down, if your brakes work, apply them, shift the opposite direction, let off the brakes, then stomp on the foot throttle again. ![]() I only use the foot throttle, never the hand throttle, when shifting from high to low with the levers, I don't worry about the neutral at all, just shift from high to low, using the throttle to do what I need to do to make a smooth transition between the high low ranges. Not sure how your dozers set up, mine has a foot throttle, brakes are separate of anything else, when you apply them, they don't shift anything else just brake, and your turn levers are not hooked to the brakes, as in some other brands of dozers do it. Just google case dozer parts and see whats available in your area, in mine there are several that make aftermarket rollers, sprockets and chains, some imported from korea and others like berco, which by the way, made case parts for new case dozers back in the day, even today yet, on some things, so just shop around some, for what your going to do with and the hours you'll probably put on it, I'd go as cheap of parts as you can for that machine, it'll get the job done no matter how high priced the parts you put in it are or how cheap. Case should be able to get about any part on that dozer as well, depending on age of the machine and what vintage it is, otherwise shop after market parts on the internet. Is the dozer a straight 850 or is a B or C model 850, not that it makes a huge difference, but mine is a C model.Īs for parts manuals or service manuals, shop on ebay, I think case still offers them new as well if you want to spend that much. If you just bought the dozer, and don't have a maintenance history, change all the oils and filters first and just check it over for leaks, most case dozers have some to fix somewhere, other than that, its pretty straight forward and easy to understand, ask any questions you want I'll do the best I can to help you out. The older case machines probably won't have brakes that work, my dozer never had brakes till I finally took the time to fix them and get them working again, its not a big deal, just something to remember, especially when it comes to loading and unloading the machine on trailers. ![]() Not sure how much you've run a dozer, but once you get onto this you'll do just fine. The case dozers have what some call two speed steering, or both tracks are under power as you turn, instead of stopping one track to turn, once you get onto this, its the biggest thing ever, verses say cat machines of the same age, those require a track to stop in order to turn the dozer. I've never seen one with an outside 8 way on it before, only four way blades or six way blades, I've also never run an 8 way before very much, a six way is unbeatable on those machines, about the handiest size dozer on the market. As for the hydraulic oil, use the cheaper hytran, those dozers are pretty descent machines to run, really simple and still get something done at the end of the day. The single biggest thing, is no matter what anyone tells you if the clutches in that machine are wet clutches and not dry, the torque and transmission require TCH oil in them, hytran is not a substitution for TCH on the case dozers, hytran will eat up the clutch linings on those machines and it gets expensive, most local dealers will tell you hytran is safe to use, its not. ![]()
