Hello,
we have recently acquired a used 12,000 hour D8T with recent trans and TC rebuild history.
Machine had been sitting still for 2 years in tropical environment and we expected some rain may have entered compartments.
Trans oil looked clean, but we changed oil and filters as a precaution.
The machine has now worked about 4 hours, pushing beautifully and not over heating engine or trans.
About 4 hours in a warning light came on and read-out says blocked transmission filter.
Pulled the filters out, ( TC and trans) the trans filter had let go; ruptured along the join inside.
The oil is very dark in filters and when we drained some of it.
Pulled suction screen, all it has is fibre which appears to be from the filter where it let go, but no foreign material.
Haven't had a chance to get an oil sample yet, but plan to change the oils/ filters again ( using recommended Cat 30W for our climate).
Also plan to add magnets as none are fitted.
Any suggestions are welcome.
thanks Michael.
