Introduction
Reference: For Specifications with illustrations, make reference to Specifications For D3C, D4C and D5C Series III
Tractor Power Train, SENR5334. If the Specifications in SENR5334 are not the same as in the Systems Operation
Testing and Adjusting, look at the printing date on the back cover of each book. Use the Specifications given in the book
with the latest date.
1. Move the machine to a smooth horizontal location. Move away from working machines and personnel and lower
implements to the ground.
2. Permit only one operator on the machine. Keep all other personnel either away from the machine or in clear view of
the operator.
6. Make sure all hydraulic pressure is released before any fitting, hose or component is loosened, tightened, removed or
adjusted.
Procedure
When defining a power train hydraulic system problem, the following procedure should be followed. First, perform
Visual Checks. If when complete the problem has not been identified, perform operation checks. If the problem is still
not fully understood, perform Instrument Tests. This procedure helps identify power train hydraulic system problems. As
soon as the problem is defined, go to Troubleshooting. The Troubleshooting section lists the probable causes of a known
problem. Since there may be more than one cause for a problem, the Troubleshooting section may suggest specific
inspections or instrument tests be done.
These inspections and tests help identify which of the causes is most probable. This list cannot give all possible problems
and corrections. The service personnel must find the problem and its source, then make the necessary repairs.
During a diagnosis of the power train hydraulic system, remember that correct oil flow and pressure are necessary for
correct operation. The output of the hydraulic pump (oil flow) increases with an increase in engine speed (rpm) and
decreases when engine speed (rpm) is decreased. Oil pressure is caused by resistance to the flow of oil.
Use this as a reference for the location and correction of problems in the power train hydraulic system. When more
checks are necessary, use the 8T5320 Hydraulic Test Group and the 4C4890/4C4892 Fitting Groups. Locations of the
pressure taps and procedures for testing and adjusting are given in the Power Shift Transmission Testing And Adjusting,
SENR5336 or Hydraulics Systems Operation Testing and Adjusting, SENR5339.
Visual Checks
A visual inspection of the power train hydraulic system and its components is the first step when a diagnosis of a
problem is made.
3. Check all oil lines, hoses and connections for leaks and damage. Look for oil on the ground under the machine.
4. Check the control linkages for the transmission, steering differential and service brakes for damage and/or adjustment.
NOTE: If any of the above particles are found during any visual check, all components of the power train hydraulic
system must be cleaned. Do not use any damaged parts. Any damaged parts must be removed and new parts installed.

Problem Checklist
Transmission Problem List
1. Transmission does not operate in any speed or does not engage (slips) in all speeds.
2. Transmission does not make a shift.
3. Slow shifts.
4. Transmission engages very suddenly (rough shifting).
5. Transmission operates in FORWARD speeds only.
6. Transmission operates in REVERSE speeds only.
7. Transmission does not operate in First speed FORWARD or REVERSE.
8. Transmission does not operate in Second speed FORWARD or REVERSE.
9. Transmission does not operate in Third speed FORWARD or REVERSE.
10. Transmission does not disengage (release) when the selection lever is in NEUTRAL.
11. Transmission engages but the machine does not move.
12. Transmission gets hot.
13. Pump noise not normal.
14. Transmission engages, torque converter stalls, engine under load condition. Machine does not move.

Probable Cause:
1. No. 3 clutch not engaged (slips) because of:
Problem 10: Transmission does not disengage (release) when the selection lever is in NEUTRAL.
Probable cause:
Problem 11: Transmission engages but the machine does not move.
Probable Cause:
Probable Cause:
Probable Cause:
1. Loud sounds at short intervals, that give an indication that particles are flowing through the pump, are caused by
pump cavitation.
2. A constant loud noise is an indication of pump failure.
3. Air at the inlet side of pump (aeration).
Problem 14: Transmission engages, torque converter stalls, engine under load condition. Machine does not move.
Probable Cause:
a. Damaged parts.
b. One or more clutches not correctly engaged.
Torque Converter
Problem 1: Torque converter gets hot.
Probable Cause:
Probable Cause:
Probable Cause:
Probable Cause:
Probable Cause:
1. Steering and brake control linkages are damaged or the adjustment is not correct.
2. Too much leakage in steering clutch control valve or oil lines.
3. Steering clutches not releasing.
Probable Cause:
1. Low oil pressure to steering clutch control valve.
2. Leaks in steering clutch control valve or oil lines.
3. Adjustment of control linkages for the steering clutches and service brakes not correct.
4. Steering clutch or clutches not releasing.
Problem 3: Machine moves in either direction when both steering clutches are engaged.
Probable Cause:
1. Adjustments of the control linkages for the steering clutches and service brakes not correct.
2. Steering clutch discs or plates have wear or damage.
3. Steering clutch springs that are weak or have damage.
4. Studs that hold the steering clutch springs are broken.
5. Worn grooves on inner and outer steering clutch drums which cause plates to "hang up".
6. Service brake adjustment is not correct.
Probable Cause:
1. Control linkages for the steering clutches and service brakes loose, or adjustment not correct.
2. Service brake linings have wear or damage.
3. Low oil pressure to steering clutch control valve.
4. Splines on steering clutch hubs have damage.
5. Leaks in steering clutch control valve and/or cylinder.
6. Steering clutches do not fully release.
